Navigating the world alone is all Josephine Geroux has ever known. Life altering tragedy struck early on for her. She endured an admirable struggle through her youth and learned the hard way how to adapt and survive. She managed to arrive at adulthood in one piece in spite of it all.

After such chaos, maintaining a life free of complications is a priority for her.
Everything changed when a man with amber eyes came through her door and claimed her heart. She fell hard in more ways than one. The pull between Jo and Damon seemed like fate bringing things full circle.

With another devastating loss looming, Jo fights to hold on to the very thing that brought her to her knees. She finds herself torn between a promising future and clinging to a devastating past.
But that’s not the most worrisome problem on her hands.

She must convince more than just herself to let the past stay in the past, where it belongs, but on her journey to find closure and resolution, she does the exact opposite. An old wound caused by a heinous act becomes exposed for what it is. The truth is catastrophic and Jo is helpless, watching as the ruins of her fragile world endure more turmoil.

Can something conceived from tragedy and malice end well? Can something so completely poisoned conquer adversity? Jo is left to make a decision; accept the circumstances she finds herself in or fight with unwavering ferocity to restore what has been damaged.


Where did you get the idea for Wreck Me? 
I was out shopping on Black Friday and this jerk decided to cut across traffic in front of me. Needless to say I communicated my frustration with him using some colorful sign language. Wreck Me was born on the ten minute drive home.

Is anything in your book based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?
There are small tidbits of my own life in the books. My great grandmother use to eat those circus peanut candies all the time. She was always sure to remind you to bring her a bag next time.

Did the finished book and sequel end up where your outline started or did they mutate and take on a life of their own as you got more into the characters?
At first, Grams wasn’t meant to be such a major character but she pulled me in. I think all books deviate from the initial outline. Growing pains is what I call that. It’s pretty normal and even necessary most of the time.

What has been the toughest criticism given to you as an author? What has been the best compliment?
The toughest would have to be the criticism that comes with zero value. I can appreciate that everyone has an opinion. But, sometimes, people spew negativity for the sake of doing it. There is a difference between a review and an attack. I find those types of “reviews” hard to handle. It may be tough for some readers to imagine, but there is a human being behind the book. Always is.

The best compliment has been being worthy of “Big 6” publishers’ time. I was floored when I found out that they wanted to consider my manuscript. I may still be a little shocked actually.

And a few fun ones....

Whats the worst/most embarrassing CD/Album you've ever owned and do you still have it?
Spice World by the Spice Girls. I still have the CD somewhere around the house.

If you could only ever sleep with one celebrity, who would you choose?
Can I have them both? No? Okay. So for me, it would be either Ryan Gosling’s hot self or Gerard Butler. His accent makes him even sexier.

What's the naughtiest or most embarrassing thing you've ever done?
When my husband and I were dating he managed to do something that is absolutely unheard of. He got us kicked out of Wal-Mart. They don’t exactly appreciate when grown men chase their girlfriends up and down aisles on Razor scooters. We left peacefully. No police presence was required.

If you had to wear the underwear of someone famous, who would you chose?
CHUCK NORRIS! I’d slide around my house in my socks all Risky Business style and try to do some round house kicks. I love Chuck Norris. I bet he wears whitey-tighties. In which case, I would wear them over my favorite black yoga capri’s with coordinating top.
