Meet Chelsea Fine, author of The Right Kind of Wrong.
Chelsea lives in Phoenix, Arizona, where she spends most of her time writing stories, painting murals, and avoiding housework at all costs. She's ridiculously bad at doing dishes and claims to be allergic to laundry. Her obsessions include: superheroes, coffee, sleeping-in, and crazy socks. She lives with her husband and two children, who graciously tolerate her inability to resist teenage drama on TV and her complete lack of skill in the kitchen.

A la Twitter style, please describe your book in 140 characters or less.A one-night stand leads to a cross-country road trip to New Orleans, where secrets are revealed, hearts catch on fire, and love has a chance to burn.
What types of scenes are your favorite to write?
Sexually-tense argument scenes. Haha. But seriously, I love a good throw-down between two characters who can’t keep their hands off each other. It’s the best kind of foreplay.
If you could have dinner with any three authors (alive or dead), who would you choose and why?
I know I should probably pick three super famous dead authors, but honestly, I’d want to have dinner with Chelsea M. Cameron, Cora Carmack, and Heather Hildenbrand (who are all very much alive and write fantastic books) because they are my real friends and never cease to crack me up. That would be one hilarious dinner.
What are you favorite types of stories to read?
It varies, depending on what I’m “into” at the moment. But generally speaking, I read love stories. I don’t care if it’s sci-fi, historical, contemporary, etc. As long as there’s a swoony romance in the storyline, I’m sold! And lately, I’ve been reading a lot of fantasy. I find that I’m most inspired by magical books, even when I’m writing contemporary fiction or something else non-magical. Fantasy stirs the creative energy inside me and makes me want to bring my own worlds to life.
Last question, are you working on anything right now?
Yeps! Always. =) I’m constantly working on several manuscripts at a time. I rarely only have one book I’m working on, and I like it that way. Right now, I’m working on an MG fantasy series, a YA fantasy series, and a YA horror novel. I know, I know. Horror doesn’t “sound” like me. But I can’t help myself. This dark, morbid story keeps clawing at my skin and I just need to get it off of me and into a Word document. Haha.
My questions to readers: What is the weirdest/craziest/mid-blowing book you’ve ever read and enjoyed? (I’m always looking for great new reads.)
Sometimes wrong can feel oh so right . . .
Jenna Lacombe needs complete control, whether it’s in the streets . . . or between the sheets. So when she sets out on a solo road trip to visit her family in New Orleans, she’s beyond annoyed that the infuriatingly sexy Jack Oliver wants to hitch a ride with her. Ever since they shared a wild night together last year, he’s been trying to strip away her defenses one by one. He claims he’s just coming along to keep her safe-but what’s not safe for her is prolonged exposure to the tattooed hottie.
Jack can’t get Jenna out from under his skin. She makes him feel alive again after his old life nearly destroyed him-and losing her is not an option. Now Jack’s troubles are catching up to him, and he’s forced to return to his hometown in Louisiana. But when his secrets put them both in harm’s way, Jenna will have to figure out how far she’s willing to let love in . . . and how much she already has.

Check out the Finding Fate series:
But fighting proved futile, and somewhat self-destructive, so I did what all good leaders do when they realize losing a battle could mean winning the war: I surrendered. Not to Jenna, exactly, but to the way she made me feel. It’s not a pretty or romantic thing. It’s a truth with scars and holes—and it commands me completely.
Does that make me weak? I used to think so. But then I see Jenna, still in the throes of a battle I’ve long since succumbed to, and I wonder which of us is stronger. Which of us sleeps well at night and which of us tosses in the moonlight.
Strength isn’t about what you can and cannot achieve. It’s about what you will and will not do in order to achieve. And on that, I know exactly where I stand.
Watching Jenna across the inn’s lobby, I take a deep breath and prepare for round two of what is sure to be a memorable—if not fatal—road trip back home.
“I’m ready when you are, diva!” I call out.
Complete agitation covers her face as she whips around with narrowed eyes and yells, “Don’t. Call. Me. DIVA!”
I grin. “It never gets old.”
“God!” she exclaims, thrusting her arms up again.
The look on her face is priceless. I could do this all day. I might, actually.
Wagging my eyebrows in an inappropriate manner, I slip back outside and let the door fall shut.
A moment later, the inn door flies open and Jenna stomps down the porch steps to meet me by the car. I quickly shove my phone in my pocket, wanting to put as much distance as possible between my present circumstances and the mess waiting for me back home, and climb into the car at the same time she does.
She’s huffing and puffing and cursing under her breath like a spoiled teenager, but when her eyes finally flick to mine there’s no hostility there, just impatience.
“You’re paying for all the gas,” she says, sliding a pair of dark sunglasses over her golden eyes. “And I mean every single drop.”
I lean back in the passenger seat, repressing the joyous satisfaction I feel at the haughtiness on her face. “Yes, ma’am.”
If buying Jenna’s gas keeps her safe by my side then I’ll purchase every last drop in the country. And then some.
