Hi
everyone! I’m Vanessa North, and I’m touring this week to talk about my new
release, Double Up: how it got started, a scene that almost happened, and the sport of wakeboarding--how it influenced
me, why I love it so much, and how it shaped the characters in the story.

tour.
Knowing he’s loved can make any
man fly.
Fifteen years ago,
Ben Warren was a wakeboarding champion: king of big air, ballsy tricks, and
boned grabs. Until a career-ending injury left him broken in ways he still has
no hope of fixing. Now he takes his thrills where he can get them, and tries
not to let life hurt too much.
Then Davis Fox
arrives in Ben’s sporting goods store with a plan to get in touch with his
estranged brother by competing in the annual wakeboarding double-up contest.
The catch? He’s never ridden before. It’s crazy, but Ben’s a sucker for the
guy’s sob story—and for his dimples, too—so he agrees to coach Davis.
Davis is everything
Ben isn’t: successful, confident, and in love with life. And he wants Ben to
love life—and him—too. But before Ben can embrace a future with Davis, he needs
to remember how to hope.
About
the Author
Author
of over a dozen novels, novellas, and short stories, Vanessa North delights in
giving happy-ever-afters to characters who don’t think they deserve them.
Relentless curiosity led her to take up knitting and run a few marathons “just
to see if she could.” She started writing for the same reason. Her very patient
husband pretends not to notice when her hobbies take over the house. Living and
writing in Northwest Georgia, she finds her attempts to keep a quiet home are
frequently thwarted by twin boy-children and a very, very large dog.
