I’m so excited to welcome New York Times and USA Today Bestselling
author Roxanne St. Claire to my blog today! I’m a huge fan of Rocki’s and was
super excited we were getting more books from Barefoot Bay. I’ve already read
and loved BAREFOOT IN WHITE, and can’t wait to read the next two books in the
series. Welcome once again to my blog, Rocki!
Thank you so much for having me here and spreading the love
for the new Barefoot Bay books!
I’m so excited we are
getting more books that take place at Barefoot Bay. Can you tell us a little bit about the
characters from this trilogy?
The Barefoot Brides is a destination wedding business based
at the Casa Blanca Resort & Spa. The
three wedding planners are the heroines of the books, starting with Willow
Ambrose, who’s the star of BAREFOOT IN WHITE.
What are the release
dates for each of the books and will they come out in print and digital on the
same day?
They will all be in print, but that might be a FEW days
after digital. Sometimes it takes a tad
longer for the print production. The
release dates are May 12 for BAREFOOT IN WHITE, then late summer and late fall
for BAREFOOT IN LACE and BAREFOOT IN PEARLS.
Don’t have the exact dates for those two yet.
Once the Brides of
Barefoot Bay series is finished, will you return to Barefoot Bay for any future
books?
I’m not sure! I want to see how readers respond to the
Brides and how I feel about doing more.
I have so many ideas brewing for contemporaries and romantic
suspense! I’m just not certain yet.
What other books do
you have scheduled for release in 2014?
Besides the SIX set in Barefoot Bay??? (Remember the
Billionaires trilogy came out earlier this year, too!) I actually have a young adult thriller
from Random House called THEY ALL FALL DOWN.
I loved the book -- very different for me -- and I’m excited about its
release in October, 2014.
Will you be attending
any events where readers can connect with you this year?
Yes! I just came back from the Romantic Times conference,
and will be headed to the RWA national conference this summer. After that, New
Jersey “Put Your Heart in a Book” conference in October. Readers can ALWAYS
find me on Facebook and Twitter (@roxannestclaire) or my website. I answer every email personally!
What are you
currently working on?
BAREFOOT IN LACE, which is turning out to be just as
emotional as the others, despite its “colorful” heroine, Gussie McBain. She’s got her hands full with TJ
DeMille. Fun!
How would you spend a
perfect Saturday?
Long walk with the dogs...shopping with my teenage
daughter...cocktails by the pool...dinner cooked by my husband the chef. I’m not even kidding when I say that pretty
much IS my every Saturday!
If you or your readers have any other questions, fire away!
I’ll pop in all day to answer and give away some books!

I have a copy of every book you've written. It's the "Roxanne St. Claire Honorary Shelf." Well, actually, I'm behind a few books. They're on the Kindle but not the shelf. I'd better remedy that to keep the collection complete.
That being said, I just LOVED Barefoot in White. It was so emotional yet had moments of humor. Your characters are always so well developed and the stories tug at the heart. Can't wait for Gussie's book to come out to see what you have on hand for her and TJ DeMille.
I didn't discover Roxanne St. Claire until the first Barefoot book and I must say I have fallen in love with this author. She is now one of my auto buys. The new Barefoot Brides series started out awesome. I loved Willow and Nick's story. Nick was just the right amount of alpha and sweetness combined. Another great job Rocki!
I love Barefoot Bay and Casa Blanca! The world you created there is addictive! I understand your need for a break from time to time. Can we expect more Guardians and Bullet Catchers (LOVE that name!)? I really like your romantic suspense, your talents do justice to both genre quite well!
Also, you posted a picture of you kayaking, aren't you afraid of the crocs/alligators coming that close to you?!?
So excited to have you visit once again Rocki!!! You know I always want to know about Gabe. ;)
I have a copy of all the books you have written, Roxanne St. Claire. Also I have been enjoying this new addition to Barefoot in White, and the next is Barefoot in Lace, of course you know that I will be ready for the Barefoot in Pearls.
Loving the brides books and guys too! Always exciting to see what's coming up next for you!! Keep em coming!!

I say this every single time a Barefoot book comes out, but this one was my favorite. Maybe because Nick was a Navy Seal, or because I could identify with Willow and her struggles, but this one is my current favorite.
That being said, I did something I NEVER EVER do, and that was read the first chapter of the next book at the end of this one. I purposefully ignore the preview in order to not torture myself until the next book comes out. I seriously NEVER read them. And I did it this time. I am totally intrigued by TJ already and I can't wait to read their story. Plus, I always love it when Charity makes an appearance in a Barefoot book. She rocks in a cranky-old-lady sort of way and I can't get enough of her. She endeared herself to me in Barefoot in the Rain by helping Jocelyn and I just love her. Can't wait for the next book!
