1--What is the title of your latest release?
HOME TO RIVER’S EDGE
2--What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book?
High school sweethearts Jasmine Weaver, and Elias Walker, have lived half their lives apart. Can they reinvent themselves back in the town where it all began?
3--How did you decide where your book was going to take place?
The setting is the same little town on the Ohio River that the other River’s Edge series are set in, so this book is sort of a continuation of all my Tule Publishing books.
4--Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life?
Maybe… now that she’s back home. We probably wouldn’t have had the same circle of friends when she lived in Washington, DC, where she hung out with some pretty powerful types.
5--What are three words that describe your protagonist?
A little lost, but determined, and good-hearted
6--What’s something you learned while writing this book?
I researched a lot about what chiefs of staff do for political figures and political scandals. There are more than you might imagine.
7--Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done?
I’m just now beginning to learn to write all the way through and then edit. I’m an editor by trade, so the editing as I draft is an occupational hazard that I’m trying to overcome.
8--What’s your favorite foodie indulgence?
Chocolate in any form pretty much and red wine
9--Describe your writing space/office!
I have a fabulous office right off the front door of our home—all mine! It’s full of books and Frenchy stuff and looks out over our front garden. I love it!
10--Who is an author you admire?
So many for different reasons. Liz Flaherty for her beautiful voice; Jane Porter for her prolific and ingenious storytelling; Laurie Beach, a new writer that I’ve edited who writes the most delectable Southern fiction, Liz Kelly for her fun, fun stories…I can go on forever, truly. Nearly every author I read brings something to me that I admire.
11--Is there a book that changed your life?
The Harvester by Gene Stratton-Porter. My mom read it to us when I was maybe 12 or so. It was the first time I fell in love with romantic fiction. It made me want to be a writer.
12--Tell us about when you got “the call.” (when you found out your book was going to be published)/Or, for indie authors, when you decided to self-publish.
This book? I’d already written 2 series for Tule Publishing and I sent to proposal for this new series, The Weaver Sisters, to them and they said, “yes, yes, more stories from River’s Edge!” I was delighted! I’ll stay in River’s Edge as long as Tule wants me to be there.
13--What’s your favorite genre to read?
I love romance and romantic suspense and political suspense. I’m also always up for good cozy mystery.
14--What’s your favorite movie?
A coin toss between Bottle Shock and Midnight in Paris
15--What is your favorite season?
I love them all, which is why I live in the Midwest. We get all four seasons and it’s lovely!
16--How do you like to celebrate your birthday?
With my family and cake! Oh, and wine, maybe a steak or the delicious scallops that my husband makes. They are yummy!
17--What’s a recent tv show/movie/book/podcast you highly recommend?
We’re currently into Death in Paradise on Britbox, but we also wait breathlessly for each new episode of Call the Midwife on PBS. Plus, I’ll always recommend Gilmore Girls and The West Wing—both for extraordinary writing and pacing.
18--What’s your favorite type of cuisine?
I love French food and I’m a sucker for good old American Pub grub—burgers and fries.
19--What do you do when you have free time?
Excuse me, what’s free time exactly? Seriously, we have a lake cottage and I love to swim in the lake or go out on the boat after a day of writing and editing. Lunch with friends or my sister is always a treat, too. Oh, and any time spent with my family is always special.
20--What can readers expect from you next?
Two more books in the Weaver Sisters trilogy will be released in 2023 and I’m currently writing The Walker Family series, which begins releasing in 2024. Basically, more stories from River’s Edge.
She’s determined to start a new chapter, so why is she still drawn to a man from her past?
When Jasmine Weaver, the chief of staff to a powerful D.C. congresswoman, chose integrity, she didn’t anticipate ringing in the New Year disgraced, unemployed, and sleeping in her childhood bedroom. Now back in River’s Edge, Indiana, identical triplet Jazz has her sisters’ support while she plans her next steps. She agrees to lead the committee for their high school’s fifteenth reunion, never dreaming that her co-chair is the man who broke her teenage heart.
As the new CEO of Walker Construction, Elias Walker has taken the family business to new levels of success. He’s buried himself in work to ease the grief of losing his fiancé several years earlier and wants nothing more than to be a carpenter again. Elias grudgingly agrees to co-chair the high school’s reunion committee, but when Jazz Weaver blows into town, suddenly anything seems possible.
These high school sweethearts have lived half their lives apart. Can they reinvent themselves back in the town where it all began?

Nan Reinhardt is a USA Today bestselling writer of romantic fiction for women in their prime. She is also a wife, a mom, a mother-in-law, and a grandmother. She's been an antiques dealer, a bank teller, a stay-at-home mom, a secretary, and for the last 17 years, she's earned her living as a freelance copyeditor and proofreader.
But writing is Nan's first and most enduring passion. She can't remember a time in her life when she wasn't writing--she wrote her first romance novel at the age of ten, a love story between the most sophisticated person she knew at the time, her older sister (who was in high school and had a driver's license!) and a member of Herman's Hermits. If you remember who they are, you are Nan's audience! She's still writing romance, but now from the viewpoint of a wiser, slightly rumpled, menopausal woman who believes that love never ages, women only grow more interesting, and everybody needs a little sexy romance.
