The beach has always been my “happy place.” There is just something so soothing about the sound of the ocean, the scent of salt water, the feel of sand beneath my feet.
Seaside Cove is a fictional barrier island on the North Carolina coast and is based on a combination of two of my favorite places-the south shore of Long Island (where I grew up), and the North Carolina coast where I love to visit.
I like to call it Romance-But More.įirst-the location. So, while it’s a romance, there’s also a lot more going on. While Summer at Seaside Cove is at its heart a romance, it’s also a multi-generational story, exploring the intricacies and difficulties of the heroine’s relationships with her mother, sister, and teenage niece. It’s my first contemporary mainstream novel, and I’m so excited about it! All my previous contemporary stories have been either short, category length books or novellas that, because of their tight word count, have focused solely on the romance between the hero and heroine. Thank you, Fabulous Ladies at Romance Dish for inviting me to blog today! Since Summer at Seaside Cove comes out tomorrow, I thought I’d take this opportunity to give all you Dishers a behind the scenes look at the book. Please help us give Jacquie D'Alessandro a very warm welcome to the Romance Dish! (You can read Buffie's 5-Star review here. The author of more than thirty published books and novellas (historical and contemporary), she's here today to give us a "behind the scenes" look at the creation of her May 3rd mainstream contemporary romance, Summer at Seaside Cove. This talented author is, first and foremost, a warm, open, vivacious, friendly, caring woman (with fabulous taste in shoes and a smile that lights up a room!) who genuinely likes and appreciates her readers.and it shows. It's the feeling all four of the Dishes had the first time each of us met her and something I've witnessed numerous times, with many different people, at various conferences and book signings. Have you ever met someone for the first time and felt like you've known them forever? That person is Jacquie D'Alessandro. Expect lots of squealing around the blog today because one of our very favorite people has come to visit.
