We’ve seen (and loved!) a couple of her books before – Fiancé by Friday and Single by Saturday – so I am beyond thrilled that we have Catherine Bybee with us today to answer a few questions, show us her newest book … AND giveaway some fantastic prizes!
*****
What do you like best about writing romances?
CB: I think it would be easier to answer the opposing question. I love every part of writing, from the creation of characters, stories, plots…to publishing the books…to meeting my readers. I love falling in love with all my heroes…and having crushes on my heroines.
What is your favorite romantic story (movie/book, fact/fiction)?
CB: Romancing the Stone is one of my all time favorite movies. I didn’t know when I first saw the film that I would one day be Joan Wilder. But… yeah. I’m Joan without the typewriter.
If you could be any romantic character, who would it be and why?
CB: Of my books? Oh, that’s easy. I’d be Dakota in a heartbeat. Wait… Or Samantha from Wife by Wednesday… yeah, a rich duchess? Wait…Gwen from Fiancé by Friday…cuz NEIL! Oh, man that man! Of course Monica’s man owns his own planes, and flys them. Hmmm… this is harder than I thought.
Which of your characters/books was the most fun to write?
CB: I actually think the bad guys in all my books are the most fun to write. I love exploring the dark minds of my characters.
If you weren’t a writer and could be anything you want, what would it be?
CB: An actress. I live to entertain, enjoy the spotlight. But I need to be an uber rich actress who is grounded.

Not Quite Forever
The Not Quite Series, Book Four
by Catherine Bybee
Montlake Romance, Contemporary
November 04, 2014, First Edition
Paperback & Kindle
Blurb:
The touching and heartwarming fourth novel in the wildly popular Not Quite series from New York Times bestselling author Catherine Bybee.
Romance author Dakota Laurens believes that happily-ever-afters exist only between the covers of her sexy novels. But to her surprise, she finds a real-life hero when she meets a handsome emergency room doctor. The outspoken author feels an instant and intense attraction to Dr. Walt Eddy, and the feeling is mutual. When the globetrotting doctor pulls a disappearing act on Dakota, she’s prepared to write him off…until fate brings a blindsiding twist to her story.
Still scarred from a past tragedy, Walt may have disappeared on Dakota, but now he’s determined to win her back. For the first time in years, he knows he’s ready for a new chance at love. Yet between Dakota’s doubts and two sets of meddling parents, can the once-blissful couple finally create the bright, loving future they desperately want?
PRAISE FOR NOT QUITE FOREVER
“Bybee’s magnetic fourth Not Quite contemporary proves that romance can happen in the most unlikely places… The love scenes are sizzling and the multi-dimensional characters make this a page-turner. Readers will look for earlier installments and eagerly anticipate new ones.”
–Publishers Weekly
“Not Quite Forever is Catherine Bybee at her finest: true-to-life characters on a wild and wonderful path toward their happily ever after.”
–Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Tracy Brogan
