Love and Life in the American South: Meet Author Alle Wells

Last year I hosted a great guest post by Alle Wells and today I’m lucky enough to interview her and find out more about this amazing author.

First of all, thank you so much Alle for taking the time to chat with me. Since you wrote your guest post about your first book, Lame Excuses, you have done so much including publishing two more books, Railroad Man and Leaving Serenity. Could you tell us a bit about them?
 
Thank you, Katheryn, for your generous hospitality! My stories are fictional, but they are based on the lives of people I have known throughout my life. Each life has its successes and its failures. The strengths and weaknesses in my characters are consequences of the times they lived in, and their economic and environmental settings.

Will and Kate - Classic romance

Prince William and Kate Middleton - their story really is a contemporary romance with a classic, traditional feel.  Kate is a modern woman, but we don't see her splashed across the tabloids falling out of nightclubs drunk, showing too much leg and cleavage (heaven forbid!).  Their wedding was stunning and very traditional, but with some great modern twists e.g. the trees in Westminster Abbey and turning the Throne Room in Buckingham Palace into a nightclub for the evening wedding party.

Their recent tour of Canada and the USA has been a huge success and some people have even started asking if perhaps Kate should be given Canada.  Not a bad idea, as it would be a good first step towards her future role as Queen.  What do you think?
