 THE INTERVIEW
TWINS- Where is your favorite place to go in the summer? 
TRACIE- If Im in the UK then Devon and Cornwall are wonderful places with such beautiful beaches and of course, full of Australian surfers.  I have such lovely memories as a child spending days on the beach and nights around a bbq and even as an adult, I always enjoy this part of the country.

TWINS-  What is your dream summer destination?
 TRACIE- As Im also a scuba diving, most holiday destinations have to include a wonderful ocean.  I would love to visit Bora Bora, French Polynesia and those areas but, I guess, Ill have to wait for that elusive lottery win first.

TWINS-  What is your favorite summer activity?
TRACIE- Relaxing in the sun, scuba diving and spending time to just read.  I have a fairly large family and a gathering in the garden with the bbq on also has to be one of my favourites.

TWINS- Swimming or sun bathing? 
TRACIE- Both.  I love the ocean and there is nothing better than taking a dip to cool down after a hours of so soaking up the sun.  I burn quite easy to a large tube of waterproof sunscreen is a must.

TWINS-  Fishing or boating or both? 
TRACIE- Boating.  I never got the attraction to fishing, sorry.  Seems a little bit boring to me.  Unless I can take a good book with me of course.

TWINS-  Beach or Lake or Pool? 
TRACIE- Ah, a tricky one because I spend a lot of time at all three!  Being a scuba diving instructor and living in the UK, I teach in a pool and then a local lake but always prefer the beach.

TWINS-  Hiking or biking? 
TRACIE- Hiking, providing its not too hot of course.  I dont think I could even ride a bike nowadays.

TWINS-  Camping or vacationing?
TRACIE- Both.  Ive has some great fun piling the nephews in the back of the car and pitching a tent, although I couldnt do it for any length of time.  Ive always wanted to go to Glastonbury, a large music festival in the UK but the thought of the mud puts me off.  I wouldnt mind the glamping experience though. For me, my holiday starts when I arrive at the airport, Im excited and love the shopping!  Visiting a new country, experiencing their culture food and of course their wines is always a pleasure.

TWINS-  In your opinion what is the sexiest summer wear on a man? woman? 
TRACIE- Im not the slimmest I could be and at 46 years old, Im too old to care!  Im more than happy in a bikini and I dont think it should matter what size you are, wear what your comfortable in. Confidence is the most sexy thing a woman can wear.  For men, it has to be board shorts!

TWINS-  What is your go to summer read? 
TRACIE- Anything as long as it has a good story and can entertain me.  With long hours to just relax and do nothing, I want a book that I will fall into, one that will keep me absorbed for hours.  It can be sexy or a thriller, I dont mind.

TWINS- Since it is summer and we love steamy reads for summer, what is your favorite steamy summer read? 
TRACIE- My favourite steamy summer read - oh, hard question.  I would have to say my own of course ;)  There are so many great writers and I am a big supporter of indie authors.  I enjoy reading books by Jasinda Wilder, who has a great new series being released.  I cant honestly say I have a favourite book.  There are books I will re-read because I enjoy them so much but each month a new book grabs my attention and they are all my favourite for the time it takes to read them.  

TWINS- Where do you prefer to read in the summer? 
TRACIE-On the beach, around the pool, in bed.  With the new e-readers now, you can sit in the blazing sun and still see the screen, so Ill read anywhere.

TWINS- When you think summer what is the first thing to come to mind? 
TRACIE- Mojitos and Pimms and scuba diving and whalesharks.  I love the smell of freshly cut grass and running barefoot in the sand. To hear the sound of waves crashing against the shore is wonderful.  Summer brings so many things to mind for me.  I was born in July so, as a summer baby, I guess I love all things about the season.

TWINS- Have you ever had a summer fling/love? 
TRACIE- Not telling, but I did write a book about it ;)  A Virtual Affair will be released in 2015.

TWINS-  What is the sexiest way to travel in the summer? (type of car, motorcycle, bike) 
TRACIE- Car with the roof down, motorcycle, horse even!  I want to hire a VW camper van and head down to Cornwall for a bit of surfing this year.
