I’m happy to have fellow Decadent Publishing
author Jennah Scott on the blog today. She’s celebrating the release of her new LGBT contemporary
romance, Saving Sultan, and answering a few questions. Plus, there's a giveaway - so stay tuned!

On Writing
Do you agree with the adage “Write what you
know”?
Nope! I
started out writing what I knew, then realized it was
a lot more fun to learn new things and write about those. Now I challenge
myself to find something new for each book and do the research. Makes writing
as much fun for me as it is for the readers to read (I hope!)
The Writer
Saving Sultan is part of
Decadent Publishing’s Beyond Fairytales line.
Did you have a favorite fairytale growing up? What did you love about it?
My favorite fairytale was Beauty and
the Beast. I loved going to the movies and watching it. I mean, how can you not love Belle. She’s a bookaholic
and the Beast’s library…no words.
The
Book
What
was the spark that ignited the idea for Saving
Sultan?
Old Sultan by The
Grimm Brothers! This is an interesting fairytale that
was fun to twist into the tale of Saving Sultan.

Blurb:
Dillon
Sultan never imagined he might some day lose Sultan Ranch. He’s
got one month to find the money needed to keep the bank from taking his
family’s land. One month to find a miracle.
Liam Callahan hasn’t talked to his best friend since the night they kissed six
years ago. Now he’s got a chance to make things right
and catch the man of his dreams. But first, he has to
help Dillon figure out a way to keep Sultan Ranch.
But when Dillon’s family
is betrayed, and he learns that Liam hasn’t been totally honest with him, will
he lose everything that matters most?
Excerpt:
Liam
glanced at the letter in front of him once more. Patrick Sultan was four months
behind on his mortgage, and the bank was ready to take everything.
To
Liam, Patrick was a surrogate father. One he couldn’t figure out how to help.
He hated seeing the official notice in his in-box this morning. What had
started as a good day went downhill thirty seconds after he opened his e-mail.
Liam wasn’t a loan officer, but he did work with Patrick on his personal
banking accounts. For that reason, he kept his finger on the pulse of the
business accounts as well. He pulled up the old man’s personal information once
he’d read the letter. Empty. The next balance he checked could have resulted in
immediate termination. The customer wasn’t assigned to
him. In his position, he had access to everyone’s information, but he wasn’t
supposed to view anything without the holder’s authorization.
Dillon
Sultan would not give him the okay. Of that, Liam was sure. Even with the risk,
he entered the ten-digit number and called up the current total balance. He was
still staring at the four figures when the phone echoed through the office.
“Liam
Callahan, how can I help you?”
The
person on the other end cleared his throat. The deep voice that followed made
his heart stop. Not skip a beat, but a dead stop. Skipping would have been too
easy to recover from.
“Liam, it’s Dillon. Sultan.”
