PEPPER WINTERS: THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN FINAL DEBT WAS TO IGNORE OUTSIDE INFLUENCES
Few days ago Pepper Winters released Final Debt, the sixth part of her popular Indebted series. The master of Dark romance is recognized worldwide for her books and made it into New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today International Bestseller. We are honored to host our next talk with Pepper Winters and to say welcome to Land of Books.
– Pepper, what is your book Final Debt about?
– It’s the finale to a long running series about a six-hundred-year old contract over two English houses. Debts have to be paid for circumstances that happened in the 1500’s. The story is set in modern day England and is a Dark Romance told with new debt in a volume. I can’t give too much away about Final Debt as it would spoil the other books. However, the first book DEBT INHERITANCE is free on all online platforms.

Criminal defense lawyers must make their peace with one harsh fact of life: most of their clients are guilty.
But when William Tucker, a celebrated and self-centered star college football player, is suddenly arrested and charged with the brutal rape and murder of a college coed two years before, his estranged father, Frank Tucker, a drunken, broken-down, beach-bum ex-criminal defense lawyer, cannot believe his son is guilty. No father can. So he must find a way to sober up and save his son from the death penalty sought by an ambitious district attorney. And father and son learn that only three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and a father’s love for his son.

LANA HART: THE BEJEWELED BOTTLE IS A CRAZY, SCARY, MYSTERIOUS AND ROMANTIC ADVENTURE
The third part of Curious Collectibles series, The Bejeweled Bottle by Lana Hart was released at the end of September. The novel follows the success of the two previous books. With an average 4.4 Amazon stars from 16 reviews the fresh title is the main theme of our next conversation. It was a real pleasure to get such interesting and deep answers to all Land of Books’s questions.
Dear friends, let me introduce you the charming lady Lana Hart.
– Lana, what is your book The Bejeweled Bottle about?
– The Bejeweled Bottle is a crazy, scary, mysterious, and romantic adventure through time and space that takes us to ancient Egypt and the ill-fated Titanic. When Nikki Brewer, our intrepid hero, unwittingly purchases a cursed bottle from Mrs. Clathermont’s Curious Collectibles antique store, she has no idea she’ll end up meeting a djinni—or that she’ll fall in love with him. Nor does Nikki realize the danger that puts her in.
– How did you decide to write the Curious Collectibles series?
– I’ve long been inspired by media that’s about creepy New England towns. Washington Irving’s Sleepy Hollow, H.P. Lovecraft’s Innsmouth, Ragnar Tørnquist’s Kingsmouth and Savage Coast, John Saul’s Blackstone, almost anything by Stephen King—they’ve all been significant influences on me for as long as I can remember. I wanted to write something that explored a small town as it slowly devolved from a quaint tourist attraction into a hive for all things dark and macabre, and then I wanted to add a twist: the theme of true love. Part of that is probably inspired by the TV series Once Upon a Time. I just think when there’s romance involved, the stakes are always higher. And who doesn’t like a little romance?
