The Queen of Emerald Falls by J.J. DiBenedetto Genre: Romantic Comedy

  

  • Tell us about your main characters- what makes them tick?

 The heroine of “The Queen of Emerald Falls” is Sheryl Jones.  She’s a blast to write, and a lot of work to be around, because she has no inhibitions, and no filter.  She generally says whatever comes into her head, and when it’s time for action, she jumps right in – “ready, fire, aim” might be a good catchphrase for her. 

 The hero of the book, Dr. Jon Hardy, is her nearly total opposite.  He’s a psychiatrist, and he weighs every word carefully, considers every action from every angle before going ahead.  If he had a motto, it might be “measure eight times, cut once.”

 Both of them hide insecurities – Sheryl hides them by talking fast, and acting before she – or anybody else – can question what she’s doing.  Jon hides them by over-analyzing everything in hopes of avoiding mistakes.

 So in the course of the book, they’ve got a lot to learn from each other!

The Queen of Emerald Falls
by J.J. DiBenedetto
Genre: Romantic Comedy


She's spontaneous, passionate and has a habit of mangling the English language.

He's calm and controlled and always has the perfect thing to say in every situation.

If their differing personalities were the only obstacle, they'd probably have smooth sailing. Unfortunately, things aren't that simple in the town of Emerald Falls, and life keeps throwing curveballs at Sheryl Jones and Dr. Jon Hardy.

If they're going to find true love, they'll have to deal with Sheryl's archenemy trying to destroy her business, and Jon's interfering brother showing up to try and ruin his life. And then there's the vindictive daughter of the richest man in town, not to mention a stolen vintage Rolls Royce.

Can this star-crossed couple fight their way past all the obstacles and make their way back to each other without losing their jobs, their sanity or going bankrupt in the meantime?

Romantic comedy fans will love this quirky mix of "How I Met Your Mother" and a daytime soap opera.
