Thank you for having me! This was a fun list to make. Evan Downey from
BRINGING HOME
THE BAD BOY is just the kind of artist Iโd fall for. Okay, here we goโฆ
5. Evanโs a great dad. He understands his son doesnโt love all
the things he loves, but he still tries to encourage Lyon to paint and draw.
4. Evan sees the world in vibrant color. From his tattoo
designs to his childrenโs book illustrations, every surface is his canvas.
3. Evan doesnโt mind getting paint on himself, or on Charlotte.
Which leads to some interesting encountersโฆ
2. Now Iโm distracted. What number are we on? Oh, right. Number
twoโฆletโs see. Evan has an appreciation for all sorts of artwork, including
Charlieโs photography.
1. And Iโm still thinking about #3. โฆTwo words: Finger. Painting.
What about you, readers? What quality do you admire in creative types?
About BRINGING HOME THE BAD BOY
Evan Downey needs a new beginning. Since the death of his wife five years ago,
the brilliant tattoo artist has shut himself away in a prison of grief that not
even his work can break him out of-and what's worse, Evan knows his son Lyon is
bearing the brunt of his seclusion. Moving back to the lake town of Evergreen
Cove where he spent his childhood summers is his last chance for a fresh start.
Charlotte Harris knows she owes it to her best friend's memory to help Evan and
his son find their way again, but she can't stop her traitorous heart from
skipping a beat every time she looks into Evan's mesmerizing eyes. Charlotte is
determined to stay strictly in the Friend Zone-until a mind-blowing night knocks
that plan by the wayside. Now, if they're brave enough to let it, Charlotte and
Evan might just find a love capable of healing their broken hearts . . .
About Jessica Lemmon
Jessica Lemmon has always been a dreamer. At some point, she decided
head-in-the-clouds thinking was childish and went out and got herself a job.
โฆAnd then she got another one because that one was lousy. And when that one
stopped being fulfilling, she went out and got another โฆand another.
Soon it became apparent sheโd only be truly happy doing what she loved. And
since โeating potato chipsโ isnโt a viable career, she opted to become a writer.
With fire in her heart, she dusted off a book sheโd started years prior,
finished it, and submitted it. It may have been the worst book ever, but it
didnโt stop her from writing another one. Now she has several books finished,
several more started, and even more marinating in her brain (which currently
resides in the clouds, thankyouverymuch), and she couldnโt be happier.
She firmly believes God gifts us with talents for a purpose, and with His help,
you can create the life you want.(While eating potato chips.)
