Authors have always been vacuum-cleaner salesmen (according to the NY Times)

I'm taking the day off and letting the NY Times work for me. I've been interviewing best-selling romance novelist Bella Andre for an upcoming piece in the Albany Times Union. Pop back into the dime store next time for excerpts from our conversation!
Below is a link to an entertaining essay:

New Release: A Remote Chance by Adria Townsend

When Grady Henderson is charged with vandalism for trying to stop the demolition of her father’s cabin in the Adirondack Mountains, the unconventional judge in the small town of Garnet Lake remands her to the care of Thane McMasters, a carpenter struggling to make a living. That’s the last thing Thane needs, but soon Grady is all he wants. The attraction will complicate everything especially his friendship with a state trooper who will do what he can to see Grady prosecuted and to keep her house arrest from becoming Thane’s life sentence.

Now available: Home Sweet Stranger by Adria Townsend

Forced to flee East Germany as a young girl, Ellie Meyer returns after the fall of the Berlin Wall to reclaim her home, only to discover her childhood friend Luther Beck has made a claim of his own. To avoid a lengthy property dispute, they enter into an uneasy agreement to share the house. Even as Ellie’s suspicions grow about Luther’s role in her troubled past, so too does an underlying attraction. As she uncovers his secrets, she’ll find that her heart might be the biggest traitor of all.
