Dear ,
What happens when a tooth fairy and a dentist fall in love? Ruth Hartman's latest novel is not your typical romance! It's a sweet, contemporary romance that features a tooth fairy (yup, that's her on the book cover above) who creates handmade jewelry during the day and moonlights as a tooth fairy at night. After she chips a tooth, she meets a gorgeous dentist at his office. They have the subject of teeth in common, but she's a tooth fairy, and not only can't she tell him, he'd never believe her anyway...
If Ruth's name sounds familiar that's because this is her second tour with WOW! Last January '09, we hosted a tour for her memoir, My Life in Mental Chains; a story about her struggles with severe OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). We're thrilled to host Ruth again because she is such an inspiration and super creative. Instead of a memoir, she's written a romance novel and has another dental romance lined up!
In today's interview, we chat with Ruth about how she carved a niche for herself by inventing a new genre (Dental Romance), why she switched from memoir writing to romance, the inspiration behind her protagonist Trixie in Pillow Talk, and her road to publication. Ruth also has a few recommendations for romance writers that include working with small publishers.
Stop by The Muffin today and comment for a chance to win a signed copy of Pillow Talk!
If you have a question about writing romance or anything else, stop by and ask Ruth a question. She'll be checking in and chatting with WOW! readers today, so be sure to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.
And if you'd like to host Ruth on your blog, please e-mail us with your request.

 Pillow Talk
By Ruth Hartman
Trixie Trident has a secret. Everyone knows she creates one-of-a-kind
jewelry during the day. It's what she does on her night job no one would
ever guess. She's a tooth fairy. Not the
tooth fairy, just one of many. It would take her whole life just to
combat the many misconceptions people have about TF's. Like how nobody
wears tutus or uses a wand. Or stands three inches high. Nope, Trixie
looks just like any other woman in her mid-twenties. And she'd tell
people all of that stuff. If she was allowed to. But she'd sworn a
sacred tooth fairy oath that she'd never tell a soul. And she hadn't.
Except for her best friend, who would never breathe a word to anyone. Graham
Keebler meets Trixie when she comes to his dental office as a new
patient. He's had lots of single women patients before, but no one has
ever sparked his interest like Trixie. What is it about her that's so
unique? He can't quite figure it out, but he's determined to try, even
when she turns him down for a second date. Trixie is attracted to
Graham, like she's never been to any man before. He's what she always
dreamed of in a man. And they even have the subject of teeth in common!
But a relationship with the gorgeous dentist can never be. How could it?
When she's a tooth fairy, and not only can't she tell him, he'd never
believe her anyway. Genre: Contemporary Romance Publisher: Class Act Books (August 2010) ISBN: 9781935048688 Pillow Talk is available through Class Act Books in both print and as an ebook, and is available through Amazon as a Kindle edition.
