Hard Glamour Release & Interview with Maggie Marr
A New Adult Contemporary Romance Series
By Maggie Marr
Releasing January 14, 2014
Publisher: NLA DLP
Honoring her mother’s last wish, Lane Channing vows to follow her dreams. She takes the ‘big risk’ and leaves her small Kansas town behind and heads to LA, the city of dreams. She’s got a stellar job lined up, an old jeep, and 20 bucks to last her to her first paycheck. Her hopes shatter when she arrives to find her job’s been given to someone else. Now she’s broke and will soon be living on the streets if she doesn’t do something fast. Welcome to cutthroat – Lane is most certainly not in Kansas anymore.
On the cusp of success…
Dillon MacAvoy has one goal–to become a star–whatever it takes. Even if it means honing his bad-boy can’t-be-tamed-and-forever-single image. Besides the image isn’t far from the truth. Dillon cares only about his younger brother and his career. He’s on the brink of superstardom if he can just decide on the next right script. But for that, he needs a script reader he can trust.
In a strange twist of fate…
Lane Channing is Dillon’s last chance. If Lane lasts the summer without becoming MacAvoy’s latest conquest, she’s guaranteed a job in entertainment. No problem, as long as she can ignore the heat that pulses through her every time Dillon is in the room. After all, love and commitment with a sweet, hometown girl would only ruin the Dillon MacAvoy brand.

INTERVIEW WITH MAGGIE MARR
Author of Hard Glamour (Glamour Series, #1)
Q: Do you have
a routine that you use to get into the right frame of mind to write?
Maggie: I
write first thing in the morning. My mind is clear and it's the best time for
me to get my words down. Also, I am trying to send a message to my muse that
Writing Is Important by making my writing the first thing I do in my day. Plus,
it is so easy with everything else that goes on in a day to not get the writing
done if I don't make it the first thing I do.
Q: Where did
you get the idea or inspiration for HARD GLAMOUR?
Maggie: I love
the New Adult genre. I've lived and worked in Hollywood and written about
Hollywood for nearly a decade so when Dillon and Lane started telling me their
story it seemed like a natural fit.
Q: What was
your favorite part writing this novel? Don’t forget to tell us why. J
Maggie: I love
it when the characters start to act on their own and surprise me. This usually
starts to happen around page 60 or so. Up to then I am listening to them tell
me their story but I kind of know what they are doing and where I *think* they
are going to go with it but then all the sudden Wham! The characters are off
and they are surprising me with their words and their actions--I love
that!
I also love to write the sex scenes :)
Q: What was
the most difficult part writing this novel?
Maggie: How
hard Dillon was as a male character in the beginning. He is just so Alpha and in unlikeable and
closed off--we start to understand why and see that this is a defense mechanism
and how Lane is able to break through those barriers but at first he was a
really tough guy to like.
Q: What do you
like to do when you are not writing?
Maggie: Read!I
love to read! I read all kinds of books truly it is my favorite activity. I
also love chasing after the children and yoga.
Q: Any future
writing news you would like to share?
Maggie: So
many fun things this year! Broken
