BLOG TOUR & AUTHOR INTERVIEW for "My Pulse" by Hanna Dale

My Pulse 
by Hanna Dale
Publication date:
November 26th, 2019
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

For single mom Tristan Maddox, moving to the small town of Broward, Georgia is the opportunity she needs to provide her daughter with a better life. A bigger house where they can each have their own bedroom, a backyard to play in, a place where they can put down roots and be part of a community, are all part of the reason she chose Broward as their new home. Nowhere on that list was her sexy next door neighbor, Owen, his adorably affable dog, Huck, or his crazy family. 

Owen Gallahanger is perfectly content with his life the way it is. He has a job he loves, a family that he can count on, even if they drive him crazy most of the time, and his loyal sidekick, Huck. He isn’t looking for anything more, but after meeting Tristan and her daughter, he quickly realizes exactly what he is missing. 

But not everyone is happy that Tristan is in Broward. As an unknown threat continues to escalate, Owen has to fight to protect the woman he loves, and their future together, or risk losing everything.

~AUTHOR INTERVIEW with Hanna Dale~

1) What gave you the inspiration for the storyline? 

I think it takes a special kind of daring to do what’s necessary to provide the best life for your child – especially as a single parent navigating through a massive life change while still trying to provide stability. And to add falling in love in the middle of all of that? 

2) Are there any hidden (or not so hidden) themes in the book that you hope readers will discover? 

I’ve been lucky enough to have a partner while raising my children, but I know single parents who are navigating everything alone. They’re total rock stars. So not really a hidden theme, but mad props to all the single parents putting in the work to raise their children. 

3) Are any of the characters based on real people you know? 

I think some various traits might have found their way into certain characters, but I didn’t consciously sit down and base a character off of any one I know. 

4) Who has influenced you most as a writer? 

Oh, this is a tough one. I think I’m influenced by everyone I’ve ever met, every book I’ve read, every movie I’ve seen, and the moments I’ve had with my own husband and kids. Life itself is an influence. 

 5) If you could have any three literary characters over to your place for game night, who would you invite, what would you play, what would you serve, and why? 

Only three? I’m a huge romance novel reader so I feel like I’d invite four people (two couples!) But even then I’d have a hard time determining who I’d invite. Maybe Eve Dallas and Roarke from JD Robb’s In Death series, and then any couple from any of Lucy Score’s books. Any of them at all. They all seem like they’d be a good time. I would kick it old school for games. Let’s bust out Candy Land, Clue, Uno, and Monopoly. They can all get cutthroat if played correctly. I think you would have to have plenty of alcohol, so maybe pizza and beer? Then shots. There should definitely be shots…and chocolate. 

6) Do you feel that you can ever have too many books? 

Is this a real question? There are never too many books. Never. My bookshelves are overflowing, my e-reader is drowning in books, and I still want more. I want all the books.
