I’ve loved living in the world of Walland for these three books, but I’m excited to have the freedom to create something new. “House of Belonging” is the third and final book in the Hesse Creek Series. I thought it bookended the series nicely, and the symbolism of the single empty swing juxtaposed perfectly with my characters finally finding their sense of belonging as a whole. It’s a nod to the genesis of the series having been set there. The image on the front cover of “House of Belonging” was actually taken in Tennessee a long time ago. Where was the image of “House of Belonging” taken? You’re the photographer behind all of your book covers. It was fun to write about the food that Laina creates, and a blast to write my first “restaurant review.” My husband and I had the pleasure of experiencing Aspen’s Food and Wine event last summer, and I was blown away and obviously inspired by what the chefs created. I’m not really a huge foodie, but I fancy myself someone who appreciates art, and in this case, food as art.
One of the main characters in “ House of Belonging,” Laina Ming, is a chef. It remains one of my favorite places in the world. I hope I was able to express my love for the beautiful, cultured, and still wild town that is Aspen. The locations are as much characters in the book as the people are. I consider all three of the books in the Hesse Creek Series to be destination love stories. Why did you decide to set your newest book in Aspen, Colorado? I’m hoping to balance out some of the negativity in the world with something that makes people feel good. And it’s no secret at this point that I love a happy ending. Which means I write them mostly for readers who are looking for an escape and want to spend the precious free time available to them with compelling characters in beautiful places. What do you want new readers to know about your books? I’m excited about how the series as a whole comes together in this story. I’m hopeful that fans who’ve read the first two books will enjoy revisiting some of their favorite characters, while learning a little bit more about Logan and Laina, who they’ll get to know in this third book. What will fans of “Walland” and “Seeds of Intention” like about “House of Belonging?” Seamlessly blending romance, drama and suspense against the picturesque backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, author Andrea Thome is releasing her third novel, “ House of Belonging” on June 5, 2018, completing her award-winning Hesse Creek Series.
