 Book Description:
When Maya Smock writes her first novel, everything seems to go her way. Her book practically writes itself. She marries her gorgeous agent. Her name is on all of the best seller lists. Billionaire author Jay McCallister takes an interest in her meteoric rise to fame and invites her into his world of alien-believing celebrities. Her life changes forever when he tells her that they were both created inside of a laboratory. These authors are embedding an alien genetic code within the pages of their novels that originated from Nazi Germany because…

Interview with Dina Rae


What inspired you to write The Best Seller?

I am a big Ancient Alien/World War II/Hitler buff. All of the ideas make for great fiction.

Can you tell us a little bit about the next books in the series?

The next book is almost done. It is called The Sequel and continues where The Best Seller left off. Much of it has to do with Hitler and the occult, Hollow Earth, and Reptillians. I am estimating that it will be out in August.

Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in The Best Seller?

Maya Smock is an author who writes a best seller. She doesn’t realize it at the time, but her pages are encoded with DNA script. Jay McCallister, a billionaire author and leader in the alien-believing community, understands what she is writing. A power or force is also making him also encode his novels. The two of them become friends. The other major story line involves a general who gets control of an airbase. The airbase is top-secret. The pieces from the Roswell space crash and alien corpses are brought there to study by Nazi doctors brought back from World War II.

You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and why?

I have many. I love Game of Thrones and wish George RR Martin would finish the series! I also love Brad Thor, Stephen King, Jim Mars, Graham Hancock, and Suzanne Collins. I love both fiction and nonfiction.

If you could time-travel would you travel to the future or the past? Where would you like to go and why would you like to visit this particular time period?

I would love to go back in time and meet Jesus. He is the most fascinating man that ever lived. I would also like to go back to the American Revolution and meet our fore-fathers. Going forward is way too scary! I don’t want to know the future!

Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?

I have two beautiful dogs-a SID (Siberian Indian Dog) and an Anatolian/Great Pyrenees. They are spoiled rotten. I would have six or seven dogs, but my husband will only put up with two.

Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit with us today.

Hi Nancy-you reviewed The Best Seller last year! Glad you are part of the tour!

Hi Dina I am glad that I could be a part of the tour and have the opportunity to host you again. Yes, I did review The Best Seller and I totally loved it and can't wait for the sequel.

Synopsis:

After a relationship gone bad, Hilary Matthews felt unsure about where she belonged or what to do with her life. Cue Zach Collins, a love ‘em and leave ‘em, no strings attached type of guy. The perfect distraction for her wounded heart. Just one problem. Zach isn’t some random stranger. He’s her brother’s best friend, and more than that, he’s practically family.  And to complicate matters, just when things start to heat up between them, she learns there’s more to Zach than he let on.
Zach’s job as assistant to an A-list actor allows him the luxury of women, travel, freedom and fun. But things changed the moment Hilary made her move, completely altering his world. Hilary is his fantasy come to life, his dream woman in the flesh…and his best friend’s little sister. Stepping over the line with her would not only ruin his friendship, but possibly alienate him from the only family he’s ever known.
The pressure mounts as truths are exposed. Embroiled in betrayal, lies, guilt, and heartache, Hilary and Zach must decide if the biggest emotion of all is worth the turmoil. With so much at stake, the repercussions from a promise broken would cause the battle of their lives.

A Promise Broken Excerpt
Copyright © 2017 Anissa Garcia

I didn’t say anything. Instead my eyes roamed down his body as he approached. His jeans and shirt were perfectly snug. He sat beside me grabbing the remote, and I was hyper aware of his proximity. He smelled like fabric softener and aftershave. It was familiar and comfortable.
            “Hilary,” his voice was soft as his eyes met mine. “Stop looking at me like that.” 
            “Like what?” I blinked at him with innocence.
            “Like you want me to make love to you,” he said breathlessly. 
            My heart skipped a beat. I fumbled with my hands. “Don’t flatter yourself, Collins.” His phone trilled from his pocket. He reached in to check it, looked at the screen and hit the end button. “Who’s Isabella?” 
He hesitated. “Uh, my chef.” 
I rolled my eyes. “Bullshit. You know I can tell when you’re lying.”  
            “I’m not lying,” he laughed. “She’s my chef.”
            “And your fuck buddy?” His eyes closed. Yup, he slept with her. His whole body tensed. “Do you like her?” 
            His eyes shot to mine. “No. I mean, yes, but…not in that way.”
            The pang of possessiveness that swept through me was familiar to when Graham said he was working late, and that his co-worker was just that. “Is she pretty?” I asked quietly. 
            He nodded. “Very.” 
            “Oh.” Ouch, that stung more than I wish it had. I snapped out of my pity party and stood. “Well, then? Why aren’t you answering her call? You could be with her now.” 
            His bewilderment was obvious as I rushed to the window. It was hot and I needed a draft, and he was right. Drinking around each other wasn’t a good idea. He watched as I yanked on edges of the glass, trying to pry the window open. 
“I told you I don’t care for her in that way.” 
            “So? You don’t have to care for her in that way in order to fuck. You did it already, didn’t you?” I struggled, but it wouldn’t budge. “Dammit, the window won’t open, and it’s so hot in here.” 
            “Only once,” he mumbled, as if reluctant. 
            “Spare me the details, Zachary.” I tugged, becoming breathless as I fought against it. My voice pitched higher as I hit the edges with my palms. "Stupid window.” 
            He drew up behind me, placing his hands over mine. I froze as his body pressed against me. We lingered, my back on his chest. Fast paced breaths escaped him. His mouth was near my ear, the humidity of his breathing caused me to tremble. 
            “Gently,” he spoke affectionately, drawing the window up. The crisp air didn’t make a difference when his warm body was near mine. His hands wrapped around my waist and he squeezed for only a second as his lips descended between my neck and shoulder. He gave the skin there a sweet kiss. His lips lingered longer than they should’ve. “You’re beautiful,” he whispered. His nose grazed over my neck as he pulled away. “Graham will regret letting you go for the rest of his life.” 
            Chills ran down my spine, all thoughts of Graham long vanished. My ringing body turned, needing more of Zach’s touch. His warm palms cupped my cheeks. I wanted more of him. All of him. He looked amazing tonight. I loved the way his emerald green eyes anchored on mine, promising me my darkest desires were a whisper away. His thick, dark hair swirled in waves I wanted to run my hands through. His strong touch had me reeling, and when he denied himself being a good man, instead of pushing me away, it only made feelings trickle in through the cracks of my heart. 
He backed off, headed to the stairs, escaping me, leaving me in complete need. Bitterness toward my brother was creeping over me. Zach wouldn’t lose his friend, his boss. I was a risk he wasn’t willing to take. I had to remember what Zach said when he left me that day. Hilary, this can’t ever happen. I was sure he’d stick by what he said. He was a good man, after all, and a good man didn’t break his promises, but maybe, just maybe, some promises were meant to be broken.

Praise for the Book

"I highly recommend reading this book. The story is fantastic, the dates memorable, and the ending is what you decide. I was so happy to choose which guy Chelsea ends up with, I felt even more involved in her story." --Stacy Lybbert, Amazon reviewer

"Having read plenty of fiction with endings I didn't love, this book was refreshing and fun. And having been married for a couple of decades and out of the dating scene, it was eye opening to get of glimpse of the new world of online dating and how difficult it can be." --Holly Frasche, Amazon reviewer

"There was plenty of humour throughout the story and I shared some of the jokes with friends and family who all laughed as well. I would like to see more books like this. It lived up to its description and recommendation and I'm glad I read it. I would recommend it. It was just what I was looking for: a nice, light read with no heavy stuff." --Autism Mom, Amazon reviewer

"I especially liked how real and well developed the characters were. The main character has dating experiences that anyone in the dating world can relate with, as well as experiences that no one would want, and ones that are unique to our age of the internet, taking the reader on a ride that is entertaining and heart warming." --Leilani Peterson, Amazon reviewer.



Excerpt:


Me: That's a beautiful cat
Cat Lover: Thanks, her name is girlfriend.
Me: Oh, that's funny.
Cat Lover: What's funny?
Me: Your cat's name. I just think it's really clever.
Cat Lover: I don't understand…
Me: Never mind.
Cat Lover: Do you like cats?
Me: Yes, I love them. I have an orange tabby named Daughtry.
Cat Lover: I have eight cats.
Me: Oh, wow.
Cat Lover: Would you like to see them?

Before I can even type a response, he starts sending me images. Eight pictures in all. In each one he's holding a different cat and posing. With his shirt off. I am so glad I'm not using the camera on my computer otherwise he would see me laughing. I can't stop. Even when I try and look away, the giggles continue. It's like watching a train wreck. A train wreck involving eight cats. And a nubbin.
