Get down and dirty with us as we chat about Under Construction, Kate Cole’s debut novel, that features strong women, dirty construction sites, and a handsome project manager who has a weakness for orange highlighters (IYKYK). We’ll nail down all the details about the book, Kate’s writing process, and what it’s like to be a woman in a male dominated field. Kayleigh Platz will host the discussion. Don’t worry, we’ll leave time at the end for questions from the audience. This event will take place on zoom.
More about Kate:
Since meeting Mr. Darcy in English 101, Kate Cole hasn’t managed to shake her obsession with all things happily ever after. A sucker for romance, this Canadian bibliophile is a buttoned-up bureaucrat in the street, spicy rom-com writer in her desk seat. When she isn’t reading or writing, she’s also a wife and mom in suburbia who can’t get enough of Duran Duran or pedicures that match her current reads.
Under Construction is the first novel in Kate’s Women in Trades Romance series. Stay tuned for more!
About Under Construction:
Avery has had enough.
Two years into the rehabilitation of the historic Taylor Building-a project plagued by delays and cost overruns-she’d like nothing more than to see the back of the site trailer, and pesky Project Manager Kent Armstrong.
Avery is a no-frills team player who knows her way around a mortar shack and is determined to chip her way through the patriarchal barriers of heritage stone masonry.
Kent is a buttoned-up budget boy with a stony facade. Impossible to please, he’s a cost, scope, and schedule junkie who thinks he knows best and never seems to listen to his expert mason.
When Kent and Avery meet steel toe to steel toe on the scaffold, tempers flare and egos clash. Will she crack his hard exterior? Or will the fissures she hides beneath her carefully honed exterior undermine her own footings?
Sometimes there’s more to people-and projects-than meets the eye.
