Featured Attraction
Winner of a 2006 Cataromance Reviewers’ Choice Award!
Dream lover...or nightmare boss?
Jack Taylor's new investment needs a special touch, and he's decided Kitty Giroux is just the woman to provide it! Now a talented designer, she's also blossomed into an irresistibly sexy woman--and Jack's never been one to resist temptation...
Kitty has worked hard to get Jack out of her system, but she's not about to turn down a lucrative contract just because he's offering it. If Jack's dangerously sexy charm still has the power to set her pace racing, the obvious solution is to avoid him...
If only it were that easy!

More About Featured Attraction
I got the idea for FEATURED ATTRACTION from a song called “Undercover Angel” by Alan O’Day. It’s about a guy who has a dream that he’s got a beautiful girl in bed with him, and it contains the immortal lines:
I said, “Whaat?”
She said, “Ooooh-eee.”
I said, “All right!”
She said, “Love me, love me, love me!”
You can see how I couldn’t resist that. I tried to get that bit of dialogue into the book, but it didn’t quite work out. Mr. O'Day, if you're reading this...thank you.
FEATURED ATTRACTION is set in Portland, Maine, which is one of my favourite places. A lot of the action takes place in the Delphi theater, which is an art-deco cinema. I love art-deco cinemas and did some very enjoyable research to write this book. I found some great resources on www.cinematreasures.org
The Delphi is based, very loosely, on the State theater on Congress Street in Portland. I’ve never been inside the State; it’s a music venue now. I had to make a bunch of changes to the building–mostly so that Jack and Kitty couldn’t escape once they were locked in there. And I made up a fictional history for the building, too. Freakily enough, when I actually looked up the State’s history, it was a near-exact parallel to the history I’d given the Delphi. I named my cinema the “Delphi” because of the oracle at Delphi in Greek mythology, who told the future, just like Jack’s dream does.
And Jack, who’s a movie buff, was great fun to write. I love all the movies he talks about in the book, and I watched every single one of them while I wrote and revised FEATURED ATTRACTION.
I always make soundtracks for my books, which help me with the mood and the characters. Here's my soundtrack for FEATURED ATTRACTION, and what some of the songs are about:
