    Describe the perfect vacation.
    The perfect vacation I already had was to England and Wales
    in part because I spent a night in two different castles. One (Amberley) was
    more medieval, and the other (Thorndale) more modern, but both were amazing
    inside and out. I also visited some of King Edward I’s castles (Beaumaris,
    Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech), designed to be a day’s march apart. The
    Snowdonia region in Wales is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been. The
    perfect vacation I hope to have would be to Italy, including Siena and Cinque
    Terre.
    Tell us about your
    favorite toy as a child.
    This will date me, but my favorite toy was my Beautiful
    Crissy doll. She had the most amazing, shiny red hair you could make longer or
    shorter. I liked her hair at its longest, probably because I had black, curly
    hair that was hard to control and so often kept short. I just loved her hair.
    What are your hobbies?
    Two day jobs (writing and acting) can keep me pretty busy. I
    enjoy singing in a symphony chorus. We usually perform major works such as
    Poulenc’s Gloria or Orff’s Carmina Burana, but just completed a Rodgers and
    Hammerstein concert at Chicago’s Orchestra Hall featuring approximately 200
    singers, 70 musicians and 8 soloists. Our maestro received permission from to
    customize a program of 23 songs. In season, we rehearse one night a week.
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    I choose historicals and historical fiction, mostly, though
    I also enjoy paranormals. I also want to read friends’ books, but it’s hard to
    keep up! Right now I’m reading a friend’s historical fiction set around the
    Chicago Fire, and another friend’s contemporary. While I still prefer an actual
    book when possible, the Kindle app has made it easy to acquire and carry around
    a “stack,” so I flit between books more than I used to.
    What kinds of things do
    you read when you’re researching a new book?
    It depends on the genre I’m writing. For medievals, I’ve
    collected more than 200 books on 15th century England. There’s great
    information on the Internet, but it’s rare to find the level of detail I need.
    In my current release, Follow Your Heart, the heroine is a stained glass
    painter, so I had a great time seeking out books on medieval stained glass and
    the techniques used to create it. If I’m writing a contemporary, I go online to
    research the characters’ careers or review notes from an interview I’ve done.

    About the Book

    Title Follow Your Heart
    Genre Historical
    Author Ruth Kaufman
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Strong-willed Joanna Peyntor has
    two uses for a man: to pose for a stained glass window design or to commission
    her skills. But when her brother conspires to ruin her reputation, she concedes
    to a third: a husband to help save her glass-painting workshop. 
    Sir Adrian Bedford must marry
    without delay on his quest to redeem his family name and lands. Who’d accept an
    impoverished former nobleman insisting upon an unusual stricture in their
    marriage contract? But Joanna, a woman striving to succeed in a man’s world,
    agrees that discussions of a personal nature are prohibited.
    When irresistible attraction makes their marriage of
    convenience inconvenient, will his dangerous secrets keep them from following
    their hearts?
