I Am Moore
All That & Moore Book 1
by Celeste Granger
Genre: African American Contemporary Romance

Emery Moore moved away from home after finishing her juris doctorate. She was a successful corporate attorney and had been living in Washington D. C. for the past five years. It wasn’t often that she returned home to Atlanta, but the love of her family drew her back. Emery had success in so many facets of her life, but she hadn’t been as lucky in love. The word love was unsettling for Emery; it was loaded with notions of submissiveness and sacrifice, the loss of self and being dependent on another person. Notions Emery wasn’t sure she wanted. Yet, there was someone Emery couldn’t shake her soul loose of and she tussled with her heart and the sensible tug in her mind daily.

Evan Stanton Esq. had been an integral part of Emery Moore’s life for the past six months. He like she, was an attorney. During the day, the attorneys at law litigated from different sides of the aisle; fighting with everything they had for their clients. But for the past few months, business was left at the door, and the fighting ended as Evan and Emery delved into uncharted territory. Evan loved how Emery felt in his arms. The curve of her hips, the arch in her back made it difficult to keep his hands off her. It wasn’t always like this. Emery had to be pursued, and although Evan was attracted to her unapologetic disposition in the courtroom, along with her sophisticated air, Emery was a challenge; one that Evan planned to take on full steam ahead.

This book can be read as a standalone. It is interconnected to the All That & Moore series

Teach Me Moore
All That & Moore Book 2 

One family. Eight sisters, tangled in romance. Kennedy Moore, the second Moore sister, is the glue that holds the sisterhood together. While Emery, the oldest sister, was away in Washington DC, it was Kennedy that her younger sisters leaned on. A master chef in her own right, Kennedy spends most of her time in the background, pouring her passion into the culinary delicacies she creates for her clientele. Being in the kitchen has left little time for Kennedy to find love, outside of the love she has for culinary arts.
Bryce Monroe is the owner and head chef of Taste, a world-renowned, four-star restaurant in the heart of downtown Atlanta. Much like Kennedy, Bryce spends his days and nights in the kitchen, masterfully creating delectable dishes that keep his clientele coming back for more. Bryce is a multimillionaire who has everything he’s always wanted except someone special to share it with.
An unintentional brush with Bryce Monroe reminds Kennedy that there is more to life than cooking and taking care of her sisters. The two have so much in common, and the chemistry they mutually felt shakes both their foundations. Bryce is captivated by Kennedy and realizes she is what he’s been missing. Yet, Kennedy shies away, unsure whether there’s room for something more in the world she’s created for herself. Will Kennedy let down her guard and allow love in? Will Bryce push past her resistance and pursue the love of his life? Find out in Teach Me Moore: Book 2 in the All That & Moore Series.

Although Garrett does dabble in philanthropic endeavors, he spends much of his time living in the lap of luxury; doing the things he wants to and nothing that he doesn’t have to. Garrett lives by choice, and any relationship he’s had in the past has been an accessory to his lifestyle not a primary focus. With Garrett living life on his own terms, what if anything do they have in common?
Despite Felicity being dismissive of him, Garrett intends to prove just how serious he can be.

USA Today Bestselling Author and lover of Love. It is a many splendid thing, isn’t it? Yet, it’s not a straight path from one heart to another. Most often, love is a tangled mess that challenges our thoughts, beliefs, and challenges us to prove over and over that we are more than enamored with an individual. Love is a tangled conglomeration of what the mind thinks, what the soul feels, and what the heart knows. And I write about it...

Can you, for those who don't know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
I am an avid reader, from high fantasy to mystery to romance. My love of reading is what led me to writing. Someone once said to me that I had a story to tell and I was the only one who could tell it. I believed them and have been writing ever since.

Who is your hero and why?
That’s an easy one. My father is my hero. He is not a conventional patriarch in the sense that when I was little, he combed and braided my hair, ironed my clothes, and taught me how to change the oil in my car. He didn’t hold to gender roles which I learned to appreciate. He loves my mother fiercely. That was my first display of what real love looks like.

Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?
I Am Moore would make an incredible legal drama with a magnificent love story.

Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in your books?
In I Am Moore, Emery Moore is the heroine. She has a juris doctorate, is an attorney and the oldest of eight daughters and takes her role as the eldest very seriously. She is protective of her sisters and understands that after her parents, she is a role model to them. Evan Stanton, Esq. is also an attorney. He and Emery have battled across the legal aisle many times. Evan is attracted to Emery. She’s independent, gorgeous, and sophisticated. She’s a challenge and he is up to the task.

How did you come up with the concept and characters for the book?
Family was the general concept. I had an idea for a story about an alabaster box – a precious container holding contents that were even more precious. Those two ideas melded together to form the concept of the story. The alabaster box is a recurring theme in all the Moore sisters’ stories.

Where did you come up with the names in the story?
I love strong names with meaning. I also like unisex names. Once I determined the first heroine’s name, I wanted the rest to have the same kind of syllabic formation. The hero’s names needed to sound good with the heroine’s names.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
It was scary and exhilarating and nerve wracking because it was my first contemporary romance I intended to publish.

How did you come up with name of this book?
This book, like all of the books in the series are a play on words, a double entendre – phrases that are familiar with the word more, substituted with Moore.

Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story?
They totally hijack the story! I just try to keep up.

Convince us why you feel your book is a must read.
I Am Moore isn’t just a contemporary romance with good tension and a great romance. There’s also family drama and traditions that keep the story interesting. My heroines are strong but they have flaws. My heroes are strong, but they have flaws. You want the hero and heroine to get together. As a reader, you will root for their love.

Have you written any other books that are not published?
I am currently working on a new series, a spin off of the All That & Moore series called the Brothers Ali. Two of the five books in the series are published and I am diligently working to finish the rest.

How long have you been writing?
I have been writing a long time. I understood the power of words at a young age so I wrote became it was a way I could express my thoughts and feelings. I’ve been writing with the intent to publish for the past three years.

Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?
No, my characters do not come to me at the same time. Sometimes I don’t know their names in the beginning. They reveal themselves to me as I write.

What kind of research do you do before you begin writing a book?
I like my stories to be authentic, from the food my characters eat to the places they travel. I research real locations, real recipes, real situations that may have occurred if its going to play a part in the store. I research the occupations my characters have as well as negative traits, flaws, coping skills. I do a lot of research.

Do you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?
If there is a happy medium between originality and giving the readers what they want, that’s where I try and reside. I listen to my readers though while still maintaining my authentic voice.

If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?
Don’t give up. Trust your gift. Keep pushing. Those are the things I would tell my younger self.
