Welcome to Nomad Authors, Brenda!
Blurb:
Billionaire Joshua Pierce has a reputation for being powerful and arrogant—both in the business world and on a personal level. He knows exactly what he wants, and he will stop at nothing until he acquires it. But his control has been shaken since the moment Lizzie St. John, a gorgeous, sexy blond with a wicked smile and eyes that would make any man weak in the knees, entered his life. That one indulgent night changed both their lives, igniting a passion that that’s still burning nine months later. But now she’s refusing his advances and his calls, with good reason—after the events of that night, she knows she can’t trust him.
Lizzie St. John has had bad luck with men. First, her father disowned her for following her dream and not his. Then her ex-boyfriend stole from her. And now, the owner of her building has told her he’s selling and she only has seven days to come up with an outrageous amount of money if she wants to keep her business. That night with Joshua Pierce had given her a chance to break away, to forget. The moment Josh had touched her, there was no turning back. But then he’d shown her he was just like the others. Now he’s trying to prove he’s different. Could she give him a second chance, finally open her heart and trust again?

Let’s Meet Brenda!
NA: How did you come up with the idea for your Book?
BP: Well, this one is easy! Josh and Lizzie were introduced in Billionaire’s Love and Forgiveness. Lizzie is a strong Character and best friend of Megan Harrison so sparks flew from the moment she met Josh, and I knew I had to write about them in Billionaire’s Mistake.
NA: What is the main thing you want readers to take away from your book?
BP: Family. I love writing about how family stick together and protect each other. Yet, I want them to relate to my characters.
NA: A fun fact about writing your book.
BP: That I could be more like Lizzie, she’s strong and courageous and doesn’t put up with any bullshit. She reminds me so much of my best friend in a way I think that is why I wrote her.
NA: Do you have a day job?
BP: What was your job before you started writing full time? Yes, I have a day job. I would like to write full time but I’m still not known yet as Author but it’s my dream to one day retire so I can concentrate on writing full time.
NA: What started you on the path of writing?
BP: I’ve always loved reading. One day I told my friend that wouldn’t it be crazy if I wrote one. My co-worker and friend convince me so I started plotting in my head about characters and the next thing I knew I had 3 chapters written. That was in 2013 yet Billionaire’s Love didn’t come out till 2016.
NA: What do your friends and family think about your being a writer?
BP: I think my family and friends are my biggest supporter and proud of me, even though my brothers did say they wouldn’t read my kind of books they still supported me and encourage me to keep going. I’m so thankful for having such amazing friends and family and good support team.
NA: What has been one of your most rewarding experiences as an author?
BP: When I first started this journey I had no clue what to do. Honestly, but being part of the RWA and RWAC I’ve been blessed with so many amazing people Authors themselves that don’t mind giving you advice. I think that is the most rewarding to me being part of these amazing people that surround me.
NA: What kind of scenes is the hardest for you to write?
BP: Sex scenes are the hardest; they have to feel real and need to be so much in touch with your emotions. Yes, I write romance go figure, huh!
NA: What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
BP: I love to play golf, but I’ve started my own little side business, hopefully, it will take off soon so I can retire much faster.
NA: First thought when the alarm goes off in the morning?
BP: 5 more minutes and I hit the snooze button. Wishing I could be working from home.
NA: What errand/chore do you despise the most?
BP:OH, that would be grocery shopping, it’s amazing how food costs so much these days compared to when we were kids.
NA: What famous person would you like to have dinner with?
BP: H.M.Ward, she is the most amazing person I’ve ever meet. What that woman has gone through and overcome, and still all her fans adore her, if I would have 1/4 of her knowledge in marketing and writing a book I would be able to stay home and do what I love.
NA: What are you working on now?
BP: My 4th book is Billionaire’s Rescue, Brandon Pierce. I love when my characters come back in Series. ( Pierce Brother Series)
NA: What advice would you like to pass on?
BP: Don’t ever give up, if you believe in yourself that you can do something then do it. A finished manuscript is better than one never finished. It’s a tough market out there but all it takes is one book to make it someone notice you, that is why I’m not giving up. I still have a lot to learn and hope one day I will get that chance but until then I’m just going to keep trying till I do get notice and hope on good things to come. Don’t forget to check out Billionaire’s Love and Billionaire’s Forgiveness (Max and Megan’S story), books one and two.
