Author Interview & Giveaway - 51 Love by Jeremy T. Ringfield


51 Love

by Jeremy T. Ringfield

GENRE: New Adult Contemporary Romantic Suspense

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

This story is about Abram, a hopeless romantic who enrolls into college and begins leaving love notes for the girl, Jec, who works at the front desk of his student apartments. About why they know each other when neither have even met. That's right, she had seen his face only two weeks earlier, when he tossed his book bag in the middle of the street, holding up traffic like a mad homeless man. But what she doesn't know is that just before he came to grab his keys to move in, the handsome albeit strange eyes and the person they belong to had just been released from the county jail.

The jail cell talk without any cameras around to record make his last 51 minutes in the pen with a sketchy bunkmate a do or die conversation that may explain why he became homeless, why he wrote the love letters in the first place, and if both were random at all.

EXCERPT:

Chapter 9

The same day in August, 2015

I think, for the price of a pizza, the experience of the novel is priceless.

A literary ecstasy, this was not a book I wanted to lend. I had to have it.

My co-worker interjects my thoughts, “Is that lighter fluid? What is he burning out there in our fire pit? I’m telling you Jec, that dude killed somebody. You haven’t seen him around as long as I have. The way he’s always scrunching his face, looking like a stone cold killer with all that stinking thinking. Some people struggle with who they really are. And when it goes foul, you know they don’t always catch these people.”

He picks up and holds out the book I am reading titled Wait For You, and says, “Some novels you have to read twice to really see all the beauty in the nuances, but these plots don’t always end beautifully Jec. You should start reading more of them.”

I take a bite out of an apple and stop scratching my thumb across a squiggled smear on my permanent marker to look out the window as I reply to my front desk co-receptionist, “Bobby, you’re being ridiculous. It just looked like he pulled some papers from a box and threw them into the pit. Hey, where’d he go?”

Bobby answers quickly, “No really, have you seen him using his hands on the street? He’s probably practicing some lethal judo that nobody knows right now. Hi-yah!—”

Ding-Ding.

At the sound of the front door bell I tried to smother my giggle in professionalism, but I no longer found it necessary to suppress as the blurry silhouette of the person entering the front door became clear and my laughter came to a sudden halt.

Talking with author Jeremy T Ringfield!


Can you describe your dream home?

            I live simple, so it wouldn’t be much. Just enough to continue writing with a great view. I want to have a house on the side of one of these mountains out here in Colorado Springs, Colorado.



If we were to come to your house for a meal, what would you give us to eat?

            My favorite, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green peas. Yum! And you have to mix them all together!



Tell us about the absolute BEST fan letter you have received.

            As vulnerable as I feel right now, I can say that I hope to receive one by the time this is posted. I would hope that my readership can find me very approachable. After all, I could not be a writer with out you.



Say your publisher has offered to fly you anywhere in the world to do research on an upcoming book, where would you most likely want to go?

            If I were to write books that required more research, I would love to fly to Greece.



Who designed the book cover for the book you are touring?

            I did.
