Interview with Paige

Share something your readers wouldn’t know about you.

I live in Virginia within thirty minutes of five major Civil War battlefields. 

If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?

Persistent, Kind, Christian.

What was your favorite book when you were a kid?

Does it just have to be one? Anne of Green Gables-the characters. Did it play any part in your writing style today? Probably. I adored Lucy Maud Montgomery’s characters in the Anne of Green Gables series. They were so well crafted; it was hard to believe that they weren’t real people. I develop my characters before I plot my novels.

What has been your favorite part of the publishing journey?

The people. I’ve met so many incredible people in every aspect of the publishing journey: readers, publishers, editors, promoters, graphic designers, etc. They’re all so incredibly generous.

If you could travel anywhere or any place for research where/when would you go?

Hands down, Scotland. I’m half Scots, and most of my novels (at this point) are set in the UK. Now that Covid restrictions are lightening, I’ve rescheduled my research trip (squeal). When would I go? I’ve visited there at all times of the year. I’d probably say to avoid winter only because the days are so short.

What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?

That’s hard to ask of a voracious reader. Georgette Heyer, Helen McInnes, and Mary Stewart.

What comes first for you — the plot or the characters — and why?

Always characters. If I can develop them just right, I know how they would respond to any situation.

Can you share with us something about the book that isn’t in the blurb?

We all have setbacks in life, where our plans get derailed, and we’re forced to grapple with hard things. Both of my main characters have some issues to deal with before they find their Happily Ever Afters.

What is the key theme and/or message in the book?

God has a grand design for all of us, but finding it can sometimes be tricky.

Any current or upcoming projects you’d like to tell us about?

My April release, Facing the Enemy, is the first in the Roxbury Heirs Series. This fall, I have a novella coming out in an anthology called Sinister Secrets that’s super fun, and I’m currently finishing the last book in my Pressley-Coombes series. 

About The Book

Title: Facing the Enemy

Series: Roxbury Heirs Series

Author: Paige Edwards

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Publication date: April 4, 2022

Back Cover Blurb:

Facing the Enemy

Lady Elise Henderson lives two separate lives. At home in Scotland, she’s the titled daughter of the Marquess of Roxbury, an heiress in her own right. In London, however, she’s Elise Taylor, a top MI6 operative for the “home office.” But when a devastating accident threatens to end her career, Elise is left with far too much time for self-reflection and the regret of a decision made long ago that features one man: fellow MI6 agent Harry Benson.

Harry Benson, the son of servants, has loved Elise for the better part of a decade. But life took them on separate journeys until their worlds converged once more. An immediate assignment to the Scottish Borders leaves Harry little time to make provisions for his small, rambunctious son, Sammy. Harry knows only one person he can rely on for the boy’s care—Elise. When Elise brings Sammy to her ancestral estate, she never imagines that a nemesis from her past looms in the shadows, hungry for revenge. Stalked at every turn, Elise and Harry discover that fighting their feelings for one another is futile, but can they survive long enough to get another shot at true love?
