Sylvie Bissette may be one of Harbor City’s youngest glitterati, but only her best friends know her most closely guarded secret. She’s the woman behind The High-Heeled Wonder, the newest must-read blog for fashionistas everywhere. Gossip, fashion advice, exposés. Too bad some people can’t take a little criticism. When an internet troll discovers her secret identity, Sylvie turns to security expert Tony Falcon for help. The investigator from the other side of the tracks is the olive oil to her Evian water, but it’s not just her temper he’s inciting…
Tony Falcon wouldn’t know a kitten heel from a tabby cat, but since most of the bad guys he tracks down aren’t wearing stilettos, it’s never been a problem…until he meets Sylvie. The feisty fashionista may be his best chance at catching the criminals responsible for his best friend’s murder. But solving that case means going after the people Sylvie cares about, and soon the attraction—and the danger—has him wondering if solving the case is worth hurting the woman he can’t stop fantasizing about …
When Sylvie’s stalker escalates from sending nasty e-mails to trying to run her over in broad daylight, Tony goes undercover as Sylvie’s boyfriend to infiltrate the close-knit fashion community. In a world full of overblown egos and cut-throat ambition, Tony and Sylvie must work together to find her revenge-obsessed stalker before Sylvie ends up with a literal knife in the back.
Welcome Avery! Tell us about yourself – who you are and what you write.
I pretty much live in yoga pants and I write about fashion. So …. yeah. It makes me shake my head too. 
Which authors or series of novels would you say your writing style is similar to?
I pretty much love to read the same kind of books that I like to write, so I’d go with Lori Foster, Dakota Cassidy, Cherry Adair—and, of course, my parters in crime Robin Covington and Kimberly Kincaid.I see the magic word here…series! Will each book take on a new heroine or will we see Sylvie in each book?
Sylvie will be there, but each book focuses on a different couple and a different part of the fashion industry. There are so many options when it comes to the fashion world in Harbor City, that I’m loving it as a writer.Since we’re talking fashion here, it would seem amiss not to talk about shoes! Who loves them more, you or Sylvie?
Oh man. That’s a tough one. I love shoes. LOVE. SHOES. But our girl Sylvie has better connections than I do, so I think it’s safe to say she has better access to all the latest styles.
Did writing about the fashion industry come natural to you, or did you have to delve into much research?
I’ve always been addicted to fashion magazines and blogs, but I did have to do research. Books. Magazines. Shopping trips. It was awful, just awful. BWAHAHAHAHAHAShopping for research. I’m definitely writing about the wrong subjects!
What is your writing process? Do you plot everything meticulously or do you dive in head first without a rope?
Right about now my critique partners are laughing their asses off. In theory my process works by me plotting out everything and then tackling it word by word, page by page. That actually happens—for about sixty percent of the book. Then I hit that magical mark and BAM! I start trying to change everything in the book. The plot gets tossed out the window. I change things about characters. It’s total madness. And each time I tell Robin and Kim that I’ll never do it this way again…and then it’s the next time.Just for fun, what do you drink while writing? Coffee? Diet Coke? Amaretto sours?
Coffee is my nectar. If I could get it in an IV drip, I would.Who are some of your favorite authors and what are you currently reading?
I love so many authors! I don’t know that I can name my favorite because the list would be so long it would break the internet. Right now I’m reading books submitted for the RWA Rita contest. It’s all hush-hush because they like to keep it all secret, but I can say there is some good stuff out there. When will the next installment in the series be released? Anything you can tell us about it?
The second book, This Year’s Black, will be out around May and it features Tony’s sister, Ryder, an amazingly hot one night stand with a former MMA fighter turned fashion insider and a tropical paradise. Then, in the spring, I have a novella coming out that bridges the worlds of Harbor City and another series I have coming out in the fall about three sisters who inherit a broken down brewery. Good times!Is there anything you’d like us to know about yourself or High-Heeled Wonder?
