This article was written for "The Nerd Daily". I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to chat with author Dylan Newton about her new novel How Sweet It Is. During a lull in her schedule, wedding event planner Kate Sweet agrees to plan a book launch for horror writer Drake Matthews to help her publicist best friend. Things get off to a rocky start when Kate accidentally maims her new client and Drake vetoes every one of Kate’s “Spooktacular” book launch ideas. But the great Drake Matthews has writer’s block and the only thing he can seem to write is historical romance. So, when Drake realizes that Kate may just be the inspiration he needs for his historical romance love interest, the pair form an unexpected truce, and their professional relationship quickly turns into something more. We chat with author Dylan Newton about overcoming challenges, inspiration, and, of course, How Sweet It Is. Q: Hi Dylan – I really enjoyed reading your latest novel, How Sweet It Is! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? A: "Hi! First, thank you for having me on The Nerd Daily—I’m excited to be here! I grew up in rural Western New York where I hit my nerd stride early, as the library was my favorite hangout. I was an English major in college, yet my first career was in…banking call centers! The most writing I did was in memos and on Excel project plans. After a decade, I switched careers and began to write full-time. I married my high school sweetheart, and we split time in Florida and New York with our two much cooler daughters, two spoiled cats and a tone-deaf cockatiel. I love reading (shocker!) and fixing up our project home: a Victorian built in 1900 that stole our hearts and may or may not be the inspiration for the Victorian home in my debut rom-com."
