Q&A with Anne Calhoun discussion

Here is where you should leave your questions for Anne to answer on August 17th.

Here's the back cover copy:

When it comes to the wolves of Wall Street, Ryan Hamilton is the leader of the pack. But his bravado is all bluff. The bank he works for is up to it’s assets in fraud and shady deals. And thanks to pressure from the NYPD and FBI, Ryan is working as both a trader and a whistleblower. His only respite from the tension is when he parades his latest arm candy at a fancy lingerie shop.

Simone Demarchelier owns Irresistible, crafting custom high-end lingerie. So she’s more than happy that Ryan is spending a fortune on his women. But she senses that behind the hotshot facade there is something more. Something tortured and sad. And when he flies her out to the Hamptons in the shadow of a summer thunderstorm in order to fix one of her designs, she instead finds herself stuck in the opulent home with a distraught Ryan.

Is Simone the one person who can mend Ryan’s heart and soul?

I'm looking forward to answering questions about EVENING STORM, anything else I've written, or what I'm working on now!

I love the variety of your characters professions - how much research do you do?

Thanks, Molly! I do a fair bit of research. Anything in business or the tech industry is Mr. C's responsibility. For Simone's character I interviewed a woman who worked at a lingerie boutique in New Orleans while attending RT last year, and did more research online. There's enough of the academic left in me to appreciate research; it's my favorite way to procrastinate!
