To everyone this fall season I hope your pantries are full, your table filled, and friendships forged. May we all give thanks to those in our lives who make ours a little better. As November winds down, the holiday season countdown begins, and the festivities begin we’ve got NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase, Bestselling Author Mariah Ankenman and Author Jeanne Adams ready to dish!

1. What is your favorite Thanksgiving Tradition?

Samantha: I don’t think we ever had a Thanksgiving tradition ☹ For so many years we ended up someplace different every year and it was either small and quiet or loud and boisterous. But basically, it’s just about being together with family or friends.

Mariah: The food for sure! 

Jeanne: My fav Thanksgiving tradition is to have friends over who don’t have a family to get to on the holiday. Another fav is to, over dessert, have everyone say what they were Thankful for from the previous year and what they’re looking forward to in the next.

2. Do you cater your feast or cook from scratch or just contribute a side dish?

Samantha: I do ALL of the cooking and I love it. It’s my favorite meal in the world to cook! Not everything is from scratch, but at least half of it is.

Mariah: My spouse and I generally host these days and mostly cook from scratch, but a few things come from a can or box.

Jeanne: These days, I’m cooking it from scratch! Love doing that, so it’s no hardship!

3. What is your “must have” dish on the table?

Samantha: Mashed potatoes. One year we went to my husband’s aunt’s house for Thanksgiving. We had just moved 500 miles away from our parents and close family and it was our first holiday away from home. And while the dinner was fine, there were no mashed potatoes and it totally threw me! Lol!

Mariah: Mashed potatoes!

Jeanne: A big ol’ Turkey, of course! But my boys won’t consider it Thanksgiving unless there’s sweet potato casserole and pineapple casserole on the table. Hubby wants mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. I love it all!

4. So many pies … are you team Pecan, Pumpkin or Apple? A la mode, whip cream, or pass on the toppings?

Samantha: I am not a pie person at all – unless it’s a chocolate or Oreo pie! – but there is always an apple pie at the holidays. Always. My mother-in-law used to make them and now my mom makes them.

Mariah: I’m not a huge dessert person, but I do love a delicious pumpkin pie with whipped cream on top.

Jeanne: I am totally team Pumpkin! However, not everyone in my household are pumpkin fans (what is wrong with them???) so I’ve always got apple and sometimes cherry too. I’m the only fan of pecan, and sometimes it’s too much with pumpkin too, so I seldom make it anymore.

5. What is your favorite holiday movie, album to put on, or book to read?

Samantha: Favorite holiday movie is “Scrooged” with Bill Murray and “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. Those are my musts for the holiday season.

Mariah: Garfield Christmas and Muppet Christmas Carol are lifelong favorites. I also do a Christmas book advent calendar with the kiddos. We unwrap a Christmas book every night to read. Some are old ones, but I usually buy one or two news ones every year.

Jeanne: I always re-read a wonderful historical that’s a Christmas story. I’ll have to dig it out and get the name to share. It’s out of print but it’s charming. I love all the Halloween movies, of course, but Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie, as well as A Wonderful Life and the original cartoon Grinch.

6. Holiday shopping … do you start early or wait for all the seasonal sales? Do you get up early and fight the crowds or sit in your pjs browsing the web?

Samantha: I used to get up early and do the Black Friday shopping with friends for a lot of years. Now I tend to sit in my pjs and shop online from September through December until I have everything.

Mariah: Crowded stores? No thank you! I’m an online shopper for the most part.

Jeanne: I browse from my chair in my Pjs! Grins. I do some shopping early if I see something that strikes me as being perfect for someone, but I refuse to fight the crowds.

7. As we get ready to shop and fill the e-readers, bookshelves and wish lists …. Do you have any upcoming releases?

Samantha: Such a silly question! Of course I do!!

– A MERRY MONTGOMERY CHRISTMAS – coming November 14 th
– IRRESISTIBLE LOVE (Wylder Love book one) – coming January 30 th , 2024
– TEASING YOU (Donovans of Sweetbriar Ridge book two) – coming March 26 th , 2024
– WANTING YOU (Donovans of Sweetbriar Ridge book three) – coming May 21, 2024
– INDESCRIBABLE LOVE (Wylder Love book two) – coming July 16 th , 2024
– UNDENIABLE LOVE (Wylder Love book three) – coming September 17 th , 2024

Mariah: Nothing with buy links yet, but my entire backlist is available.

Jeanne: I do! I have a wonderfully fun story coming out in an anthology November 28! The Anthology is headlined by NYTimes and USA Today bestselling author Mercedes Lackey and is set in her award wining world of Valdemar. I was so lucky and so excited to be invited to be a part of the 17 th anthology in this world The book is called Anything With Nothing.

As October comes to a close, we’ve got NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase, Bestselling Author Mariah Ankenman and Author Jeanne Adams ready to dish!

1. October means we are officially into the Fall with everything “spiced” and spooky. What’s your seasonal speed? (Pumpkin Everything, Maple Lover, or Skip the Spice … I’m all about the tinsel and Peppermint)

Mariah: Pumpkin and Apple cinnamon are my jam! I’ve even done both as vodka infusions, yummy!

Samantha: Definitely not a spiced or spooky girl. Not a fan of either. I’m just patiently waiting for the tinsel and peppermint too!!

Jeanne: I am allllll about the pumpkin, people! Don’t particularly like pumpkin spice, but love pumpkin anything else. I love fall! I love Halloween! Never met a spooky scary skeleton I didn’t love.

2. Growing up certain houses were known for their “treats” and we never missed those doorbells. What do you pass out for the kiddos?

Mariah: We have a candy bowl with a variety of chocolate/gummy/sucker candy and a bowl with toys for kiddos who can’t have sweets or don’t want them. I love handing out treats at Halloween and I always let kids take a treat from both baskets if they want.

Samantha: I know I’ll catch a LOT of grief for this, but I am so NOT a lover of Halloween. We don’t decorate and I buy just the basics. It’s all brand name and the good stuff, but it’s fun sized and everyone gets a handful.

Jeanne: I pass out the good stuff! I have Hersheys and good chocolates, as well as Skittles and fruity things. I keep a separate non-peanut basket for a few neighbor kids I know with peanut allergies. (Well packaged to prevent cross contamination!) and some things that are certified gluten free too. 

3. Do you toss a few extra bags of your favorite candy into the cart for snacking during the season?

Mariah: Heck yeah I do!

Jeanne: I always have to buy an extra bag for the kids close to Halloween because my household will have “snacked” on the big candy bowl!

4. What is your idea of a perfect fall day activity or adventure? Where are you and who are you with? 

Mariah: Me and the fam heading off to the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkins to carve while watching The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Samantha: Perfect fall day would be driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway and seeing all the beautiful colors of the leaves changing. Of course my hubby would be right there beside me and then
we’d stay at some quiet little hotel with a great view.

Jeanne: Perfect Fall day activity or adventure is decorating for Halloween with my hubby and kids! Or going to a festival or a fall pumpkin patch to get pumpkins to carve. LOVE carving those pumpkins!!

5. Do you have a Fall bucket list and what is on it?

Mariah: We always have to make it to the Pumpkin Festival in town. I also love horror movies, so I make sure to watch as many as possible during spooky season. We also host an annual Halloween party for all our friends which is always a ghoulish good time.

Samantha: Don’t laugh, but…we always go to the beach in the fall. My husband fishes, I write, the weather is gorgeous, and it’s peaceful. I look forward to it every year.

Jeanne: My Fall bucket list is to go to Keene, NH to their pumpkin festival. 1000s of carved Jack-o-lanterns!

6. If I were to visit your hometown, is there an orchard or farm I should visit for the best fall produce, corn mazes, and fun?

Mariah: Yes! Check out the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield for their pumpkin festival and corn maze. The best in the Denver area!

Samantha: Not really my hometown, but we’ve lived here for almost 30 years and there is a cute little farm about ten miles up the road that has all of those things.

Jeanne: There are several! But my fav is Butler’s Orchard in Maryland (not far from where I am in DC) is amazing! They have pony rides and face painters and pumpkins and apples and cider…well, if it’s fall and fun, it’s at Butlers!

1. You’ve been tasked with naming the next “it” nail polish. What color is it?  What’s it called?

3. Learn to play the Hurdygurdy

3. What signature dish does everyone ask you to bring?

4. What song sums up your life?

Samantha: – Living on a Prayer – Bon Jovi

Mariah: Happiness!

6. It’s back-to-school season, what does that look like in your house? Has your nest grown and flown? (Just happy the kids are back in school. You’re in the cave -don’t care. It’s the best time of year ‘cuz the kids are back in school, or No idea I’m in my bat cave and haven’t seen sunlight for days.)

Samantha: – Our nest has flown ☹

Mariah: FREEEEEEEDOM!!!!!!! LOL, but seriously my kiddos are back in school which means I get 6 hours of uninterrupted writing time! I’m the house manager so I still have work outside of writing (cleaning, groceries, errands, etc), but I usually spend all morning at my desk getting words in and it’s glorious!

Coffee With New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase, Shaughnessy and Manager Mick Tyler

FB Promo Post CW SCS 3 29  300x251 Coffee With New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase, Shaughnessy and Manager Mick TylerRae: Welcome back Samantha Chase to the blog. With spring on the horizon I have an Almond Caramel Coconut Milk Latte with drizzles of caramel and white chocolate in my mug.  In honor of  your book release my barista baked up a batch of peanut butter blondies and chocolate covered strawberries. What is in your cuppa?

Samantha: I am a very boring drinker and it is straight up hot cocoa for me!

Rae: Cocoa sounds yummy! I find that reading is best when I have a beverage and a snack, what do you need to have for yourself when you are settling in to read?

Samantha: Normally I’m reading in bed and snacking and drinking there is a big fat no-no. However…if I’m feeling sassy and in the mood for a mid-day read, I am all about some cookies. Wegman’s has these double chocolate ones called Chocolate Indulgence and let me tell you, I am HERE for them. They are the perfect snack when I’m reading.

Rae: Ok, those really do sound delish. I’ll have to look for them the next time I’m at Wegmans. In a few words, can you describe the type of books you write?

Samantha: Okay… I write contemporary romances that are hotter than sweet, sweeter than hot. That’s my tagline. But people still mistake that to mean that I write clean or sweet, and that’s not exactly true. There is definitely some steam on the page, but we fade to black for the good stuff 😉

Rae: Samantha is here to dish all things Shaughnessy as we celebrate the release of One More Chance which hit shelves yesterday. While writing One More Chance what songs were on your playlist?

Samantha: Thanks for having me on the blog! So…this series was greatly inspired by the music of Bon Jovi and I went back there for Mick’s book, as well. The song that really was a standout for Mick and Sienna was “Bed of Roses”, but I do have an entire Band on the Run playlist on Spotify.

51cL2orNHPL 200x300 Coffee With New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase, Shaughnessy and Manager Mick TylerRae: Great song list, readers click on that link. How much research and travel was involved before crafting Mick’s story?
Samantha: I didn’t do any traveling while writing, but I did a lot of research and some of the places I had been to in the past and drew from my own experience. I was born and raised on Long Island and spent a lot of time in Manhattan so to have the story kickoff there was me just using the familiar. When they went to Memphis, I had to do the research because I’ve never been – but it’s on my bucket list! Vegas, L.A., San Francisco are all cities I’ve traveled to, as well.

Rae: Will there be more books for The Shaughnessy’s or Band on the Run? I feel like there could be another epilogue or novella somewhere down the line, maybe Christmas time?
Samantha: So…if it were up to me, there would be more books. I actually introduce two potential stories in this book, but I won’t write them unless there is a huge demand for them. As vocal as fans of this series were about wanting Mick’s story, preorders weren’t great so I’m not sure how release week is going to play out. As for a bonus epilogue, the special edition paperback (which will be available in a few weeks) will have one.

20221129 163336 300x225 Coffee With New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase, Shaughnessy and Manager Mick TylerRae: You recently shared that you got the rights back to many of your books and recently re-published thirty-two books. Wow, thirty-two. What was your process to make sure all the details were managed? Did you have to create new book covers, what was that process like? 
Samantha: I think I still have PTSD from the experience! LOL! I kind of thrive on chaos. I got the rights back the week before Christmas so…that meant nothing was going to get done until the first of the year. I didn’t get clean files back so every single book had to be re-edited, re-formatted from PDF to a Word doc, re-proofed, new covers…it was just all SO much. On top of that, I had a new release schedule in place for 2022 that I needed to stick to. It literally took a village to get it all done. I had three people for each step that needed to be done – except the covers. I have one cover artist and she was AMAZING. And while it was fun to design new covers, it was a lot of work. I had a giant dry erase board in my office that kept me on task.

519DfliDwxL. SY346  199x300 Coffee With New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase, Shaughnessy and Manager Mick TylerRae: Did you make any minor edits or changes to any of those books?51h2ObQ4wwL. SY346  199x300 Coffee With New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase, Shaughnessy and Manager Mick Tyler
Samantha: Most of the books just got minor edits – things that my previous publisher missed, but I did add content to two of the Montgomery Brothers books – WAIT FOR ME and TRUST IN ME – because they were shorter and I just felt like they needed a little more. Everything else I had to just let go otherwise these books never would have gotten back up on retail sites.

Rae: In the midst of all that re-publishing, you were writing new books as well. Was there one story during this process where the characters decided they had a different story to tell and took you on a different path than the one you envisioned?
Kiss the Girl 188x300 Coffee With New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase, Shaughnessy and Manager Mick TylerSamantha: Since I’m not big on plotting/planning my books, most times I’m surprised where my characters go. Lol! It makes writing so much fun when you don’t put yourself in a box and try to force the characters to behave a certain way. However…my father passed away in February last year (completely unexpected) and we hadn’t spoken in several years. We did get to have those last two weeks of his life to make our peace with one another and I was the only one in the room with him when he died. A month later, I started writing KISS THE GIRL (Magnolia Sound’s final book). I always knew that book was going to deal with a character’s death. I knew that from the moment I started writing the series. I just didn’t realize how much that character’s death and his relationship with his children was going to mirror my own relationship with my dad. So it was a VERY emotional journey and very cathartic for me because I got to say a lot of things in the book, that I never got to say with my dad.

Rae: What was it like to sit down and write Micks story? This story, it was one that I have been waiting for and it was amazing.
Samantha: Years ago – when the original series ended – I really thought I was good with ending it at three books. Readers asked for Mick’s book, and I just sort of figured it would be a bonus, short story somewhere down the road. Last year I was part of a small town promo group and I wrote a short version of this book – it was only 20K words. Well, after readers read it, they wanted a more fleshed-out story so the 20K book got expanded to 72K words! And I was really glad that I did because we got to really dig deep into what was motivating Mick and Sienna to finally take this chance at this point in their lives. Mick’s in his mid-40s and Sienna’s only a few years younger. Love doesn’t only happen in your 20s 😊

Rae: So true! Without spoiling too much, you sprinkled a few beloved characters in a unique and clever way. What made you decide to blend both worlds and revisit the gang?
Samantha: Back when the Band on the Run series was released, I don’t feel my publisher did a good job of promoting that it was a spin-off of The Shaughnessy Brothers series. They gave the covers a completely different look and it wasn’t until the series was over that someone was like, “Oh, should we have put that on the cover?” If ever you want to do a blog on what NOT to do when working with a publisher, I’ll gladly contribute.

Anyway, being that I could do anything I wanted with this story, I wanted to give readers a chance to get updates on as many past characters as I could. And if they are just now finding this series with ONE MORE CHANCE, they can know that there are ten other books for them to read! Lol! The Shaughnessys were such a great family, and the band wouldn’t be here without them, so it just seemed right to check in with them all.

Rae: Speaking of the guys, they have been patiently waiting, should we bring them in?
Samantha: ABSOLUTELY!!!

The last time you were here was back in 2017 and 2016 when your siblings were kind enough to join you. (Readers you can check out those here …   Coffee With the Shaughnessy’s Holiday Spice (2017),                      Samantha Chase Blitz Day 2: Coffee With the Shaughnessy Brothers (December 2016), and Samantha Chase Blitz – Day 2: Coffee With Samantha Chase and The Shaughnessy Family (June 2016))                               I hope they are all doing well. I am thrilled the Shaughnessy gang’s all here. Matt Reed, Dylan Anders, Julian Grayson and Agent and Manager Mick Tyler, thank you for being here. Welcome.

I hope everyone had a chance to grab a cuppa at the bar, my barista told me he crafted a few new drinks in your honor. I like to start with a little bit of trivia questions … think of it as an opening act, Mick these questions are for you too.

Rae: You created a spotify playlist – Who are you listening to?
Mick: Thanks for having us here, Rae! If I’m looking for comfort, I tend to listen to something a little softer. And not just ballads, I really enjoy listening to soft jazz or even the old crooners like Sinatra. If I’m on the road, my list is primarily acts that I’m considering representing or I’ll choose whoever is popular right now to get a feel for what fans are looking for. And when we’re all together and hanging out, I like listening to the groups I represent – and primarily, Shaughnessy. (Winks)

Rae: What is the one app on your phone that gets used the most?
Mick: Instagram. Gotta make sure my clients are getting seen!

Rae: Home cooked or Door Dash?
Mick: I do enjoy when Sienna and I sit down to something we cooked together, but we’re both so busy that we use Door Dash more often than not.

Rae: Salty or sweet?
Mick: Oh, definitely sweet!

Rae: Book, Audiobook, or Podcast? Last one you read or listened to?
Mick: At night, Sienna and I love to read while we’re in bed and both tend to gravitate toward ebooks. When we travel – especially in the car – we sometimes pop in an audiobook, but primarily enjoy listening to Podcasts. The last one I listened to was Bandsplain which essentially is like a very polished version of those wee-hours conversations you have with your best music buddies. Definitely a good listen.

Rae: How often do you meet up, as a band – in the studio, just hanging out, or on the road? When you meet up is it easy for the wives to join- I hear they are friends as well?
Riley: My family and Dylan’s are still primarily set in L.A. so we get together fairly often.
Matt: Vivienne and I are east coasters all the way, but we go out to L.A. probably every three months or so for the sole purpose of getting together to jam or record.
Julian: Yeah, Charlotte and I made the move to the east coast and we spend most of our time there unless there’s something going on with the band.
Dylan: Paige and I are the last holdouts on getting a vacation home on the east coast. (laughs) And because these guys all have houses, we just crash with one of them!
Riley: We’re contemplating having to get a bigger place with a guest house just for Dylan and Paige…
Dylan: It’s not like we’re there that often, dude…
Julian: He can practically claim you as a dependent.
Mick: Alright, everybody play nice!
Riley: As for our wives, they are the best of friends and are thrilled to have Sienna as part of their group. We’re all fairly blessed that everyone gets along and genuinely likes each other.
Dylan: It’s true. We’ve only done one major tour in the last several years and it was a true family affair – wives, kids, and dogs!
Mick: Do not even get me started on the dogs…
Julian: Normally, I’d prefer to stay at a house – Airbnb or something instead of a hotel just for the sake of the dogs – but when you’re only staying for a night or two, it’s just not as practical.

Rae: What are the chances we might see Shaughnessy on tour or in the studio this year?
Riley: We’re currently in the studio right now and trying to get the last few songs done on this album.
Matt: I’m the reason we’re rushing. Vivienne’s pregnant and as much as she doesn’t mind being away from home, I think right now she’d prefer it.
Dylan: I think we’re all…I don’t want to say rushing, but we understand. We worked out a lot of the stuff before getting into the studio, so things are moving at a good pace.
Julian: We’ve been doing this together for so long, and we talk to each other so often, that it feels more like we’re putting the finishing touches on it all once we hit the studio. We each have studio space in our homes, so even when we’re not together, we’re working on the music in our own spaces. Vivienne will be sleeping in her own bed in no time.

Rae: Do your kids know how famous you all are? 
Riley: My kids know it, and our oldest daughter – Aislynn – tries to use it to her advantage at school! Last week Savannah and I got called in because she tried to bargain with her Science teacher…she wanted to give him tickets to the next Shaughnessy show if she didn’t have to dissect a frog!
Mick: (laughing) I love that kid.
Dylan: Dude, that’s brilliant! But I’ll probably aske someone else to babysit next time we’re in town. I can’t have her giving my boys any ideas.
Julian: Our kids are still a little too young to fully understand it, but we really try to downplay it at home. We just want to live a normal life.
Matt: This is going to be our first baby, and I haven’t mentioned it. (wink)
Dylan: I started telling my boys as soon as they were born! Bedtime stories were all about the band and places we’d toured.
Riley: Dude, seriously?
Dylan: What? It’s not like I was talking about groupies or anything…
Julian: Does Paige know? I’ll bet you like a thousand dollars that she has no idea those were the bedtime stories!
Dylan: NEXT QUESTION!!

Rae: I love watching the evolution of bands as they transition from wild days of dating to finding their person and settling down, some might even say driving a minivan too? Do you think any of your children might dip their toes in the music industry? Would you be ok with that?
Julian: I wouldn’t say I’d forbid it, but…I certainly wouldn’t encourage it. This business is hard and it not always a safe space, you know?
Matt: (sighs loudly) For the love of it, you can’t still be this uptight.
Julian: (shrugging) I can be whoever the hell I want. But if either of our kids showed an interest on their own – with no prompting from me or Charlotte – I’d be sure to be there to guide them.
Riley: I think we’d all want to be there for our kids – especially in this industry. Not that I want to get into the whole Nepo Baby debate, but if other people saw that they had talent, I’d want to encourage them.
Matt: Whatever they want to do, I’ll encourage.

Rae: If you could take time off, switch gears for a bit, where would you be and what would you be doing?
Julian: I’d love to rent a place that is quiet and where we could just sort of go unnoticed. There’s a small town in England that I stayed in years ago that I always promised Charlotte I’d take her to. So…
Riley: One of my brother Hugh’s resorts. Hands down. I don’t even think I care which one, just…go and relax and drink some fantastic wine and eat some amazing food.
Matt: Vivienne’s folks live in Paris and we’ve gone there to visit multiple times, but I think I’d love to go and see them and then go on to Italy and just walk around and see the sites and eat the food. Viv used to be a food blogger so I think she’d love that too. So much of our time is spent doing stuff related to my job, that I’d love to do something that I know was just for her.
Dylan: Aww…
Matt: Shut up. What would you do?
Dylan: Time off and not doing anything music related? I’d love to be sitting on the beach somewhere tropical and maybe doing some fishing. I’d love to teach the boys how to do it – catch out own dinners, clean the fish…I think that would be a blast!
Mick: Until Paige had to come and clean fish guts off of everyone, right?
Dylan: Well…maybe.

Rae: Mick, what is it like knowing this band is stronger than ever in light of the obstacles along the way? I know you went above and beyond to support them through some rather tough times.
Mick: The five of us have been through…everything together. I don’t look at Riley, Julian, Matt, and Dylan as clients. They’re family. And you do whatever it takes to make sure you’re family is happy and healthy. I look at these guys now and it still blows my mind how far we’ve come. And the thing is, it’s not all one-sided. These guys have been there for me, as well.
Riley: We’re brothers.
Matt: Definitely.
Julian: Absolutely.
Dylan: There isn’t anything we wouldn’t do for each other.

Rae: Without divulging the identity of anyone, what is the craziest request you ever had for a client – on tour or just in general?
Mick: Oh, good Lord…sometimes it amazes me what people ask for. The craziest was a certain diva who insisted that her entire dressing room be done in hot pink silk and chandeliers, along with a seafood bar with enough food to feed a dozen people at every stop. She never shared the food with anyone except her boyfriend and her mother, and most of the food got thrown out.
There was another request that was…unusual. A client – whenever we toured down in Australia or New Zealand – insisted that he have a day with no responsibilities so he could have the time with…penguins. (Nods) He loved spending time with them in their native environments and…
Dylan: TWICE! I asked to do it TWICE! Geez!
(Everyone laughs hysterically)

Rae: Mick – Did you ever think of walking away from all of this or focusing on less talent? It seems like with Shaughnessy it’s more than just being their agent and manager, what do you attribute that to? Were there any moments in the past you thought they may not make it as a group?
Mick: I knew from the moment Riley Shaughnessy walked up on the stage in that dive bar that he was going to be a star. All of them. I spent almost a year combing the clubs in Hollywood and every night I’d leave disgusted. The night I saw these guys? It was obvious immediately that they had talent. They were the first band I signed and they are the gold standard that I held other acts to for a long time. Then I had to remind myself that different acts bring different…magic, you can say, to their music.
I’ve dealt with smaller acts and bands/singers who weren’t nearly as talented as I wanted them to be. Some were one-hit wonders, some lasted a little longer, but I have always believed in doing what I can to nurture the talent. Does it always pay off? No. But if I see even a small spark of something, I’m willing to give them a try.
But back to these guys…like I said, I just knew from the moment I saw them that they were different. I feel like we all kind of grew up together – we learned this business together – and we navigated it all together. I made mistakes and they forgave me, they made mistakes, and I did the same. We all genuinely like and respect each other. But…like any family, sometimes we fight and say or do things we shouldn’t. At the end of the day, though, we talk it out.
Riley: Mick’s the king of tough love. We all hate it when it’s focused on us, but ultimately, I think I can speak for all of us when I say that once we calm down, we know he’d never do anything to hurt us. There’s a trust there that…I don’t know…it was just there from day one.

Rae: Riley, after sitting here and talking with you guys I can see how much you genuinely care for each other. It’s why fans are so enamored and devoted, you guys are the real deal.

Ok, Mick, this one’s for you… If you had the opportunity to have dinner with one person, past or present who would it be and why?
Mick: Ooo…I feel like I should say something music related like Brian Epstein – who managed the Beatles. But I don’t know if it would be to learn from him or to maybe brag about how well I’ve done for myself. (laughs) My whole life has been about this path – this industry – and I’ve had the opportunity to sit and eat with a lot of my idols. But if I had to pick one, I’d really love for it to be the late Freddie Mercury. That voice…I still get chills.

Rae: Mick, I’ve asked so many people that question and I don’t think I’ve ever had the same answer. That sounds like it would be a fabulous dinner!

Before we go, for all of those young music dreamers out there, what is one piece of advice you could give them that you wish you had received when you first started in this business all those years ago?
Mick: Persevere. It doesn’t happen overnight. Don’t sell yourself short and listen to the critics with a grain of salt. Not everyone has your back.
Riley: Definitely persevere, and remember to always be good to the fans. They’re the reason you have a career. Don’t screw it up by being a jerk to them.
Matt: Know your limitations. We’re all not going to be Jagger, Jackson, or Mercury, and that’s okay. Go out there and be the best at what you do and don’t ever think you don’t have to keep honing your craft.
Dylan: Know who your real friends are. There are people out there who will just want to ride your coattails and don’t care about who you really are. Keep your circle small.
Julian: This is a business first and foremost. Sure it’s fun to get up on stage and have people cheering and singing along, but it’s not just a big party. Know what you’re signing, be wise with your money, and have a plan for when it’s all over.
Dylan: Geez…that was depressing.
Julian: I just said it’s not just a big party…
Dylan: Yeah, I know but you made it sound just…ugh.
Matt: Dude, are you just meeting Julian? That’s how he talks all the time!
Riley: Bottom line? Yes, Julian sounds like Eyeore, but he’s right.
Mick: It is like herding cats with these guys, but it’s never boring!

Rae: Samantha thanks again. If fans are looking to find you this year, where can they catch up with you?
Samantha: Thank YOU!! This was a blast!! Readers, you can find me primarily on FB and IG, but here are all my links!!

One More Chance by New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase

51cL2orNHPL 200x300 One More Chance by New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha ChaseOne More Chance by Samantha Chase is the fourth book in the Band on the Run Series and exceeded my expectations. This second chance, age gap romance is a love story that was decades in the making for these characters and proves love can happen at any age. It’s time to meet the man behind the legend Shaughnessy, a man who has a story to tell and it’s finally his turn.

When Mick Tyler set out to build his career he wanted to share it all with Sienna Ashley, but she was young, and had her life ahead of her. Fear she’d never truly live her life and chase her dreams, he let Sienna go. What happens when he realizes that she’d be his only regret, and perhaps why he never settled down or gave his heart to anyone? To see Mick realize he still desires Sienna and might never be with her, this just tore at my heart. A man who gives and does whatever is necessary so others can achieve their dreams is his job. For a man who can have anything he desires, he’s discovered there is one thing he can’t get. The one who got away. .

Sienna Ashley is a strong, smart, and focused scientist who hasn’t really gotten over her first love. A conversation with a friend about how they should focus less on work and experience an adventure every now and then, to live life with no regrets. One casual dinner with her brother will reunite her with the only man she ever desired and give her an opportunity to talk about the past. When dinner brings up old feelings, will she allow herself to be vulnerable again and open her heart to him one more time? An encouraging voice and leap of faith is all she needs.

Can a crazy idea to spend two weeks together over dinner be the beginning of a new chapter between them, or will it give them closure to a lingering thought all these years? Ready for the challenge with a phone, a list, and no restrictions Mick will rise to the occasion in his determination to satisfy and execute this adventure. Hold onto your travel bags and get ready ready for an epic vacation. Will they both seize this opportunity to express their feelings? Or, will they unintentionally push the other away, for good? It’s time to take a little advice and make time for themselves, live fully with no regrets each day because you don’t know how much time you have to live. Embrace each minute.

2 Flames 300x300 One More Chance by New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha ChaseSamantha Chase writes sinfully sweet, hotter than sweet with bedroom romances that tingles in all the right places, and has a dash of spice to satisfy that slightly spicy craving. I loved the tension and build up of expectation for their second “first kiss” and the passion that is just …. yup, we are rooting for them to find their happy ever after.

A refreshing romance with characters that are not in their twenties, who have achieved success in their careers, and are still searching for the one to share it all with. I could talk about this book for hours but you all know how I feel about spoilers. So, when you finish reading One More Chance, please message me so we can chat in more detail. I’ll leave you with the following, I think my new favorite color is red ;). Dedicated readers of The Shaughnessy series will really love this book ;). I received an advance reader copy from Valentine PR and Samantha Chase for a fair and honest review. Ok, now go read this book!
