My life is nothing like a fairy tale!

I work as a Receptionist at Hour Glass Dental and trust me, it’s just as chaotic as it sounds. Between dealing with angry patients and insurance plans, phone calls and emails, I dread my ten-hour workday as I clock in at the busiest office in Brittleton, Tennessee.

Doctor Chase Hatchett suggests that I transfer to a bigger city and climb up the corporate ladder, even implying that he may move with me. Maybe I can start a new chapter with the most eligible bachelor in the office!

But my friends Rafa, Brian and his sister help me to look at life a bit differently. My happiness may not be about chasing the promotion as much as it is about following my heart.

Whatever I decide, even in the midst of all this confusion, I hope I can find my Happily Ever After!

More from Sunshine Rodgers

I remember when I was writing the pages for Once Upon a Time… In a Dental Office. I was a receptionist at a prestigious Dentistry. I worked with these two very handsome – very charming – Dentists. And the truth is, I’d be FLOSSED without them!

And I put the pen to paper about all my personal experiences in my book. “Walking down the hallway, I hear the whizzing and churning of dental equipment as I observe room after room of patients getting their teeth cleaned from plaque buildup, or teeth getting surgically extracted or my least favorite, hearing the groans from patients receiving a root canal.” (pg. 39)

And I created a world inspired by those two Dentists. Receptionist Kay Vity is sought after by Dr. Chase Hatchett and Doctor Brian Alchan at Hour Glass Dental. And TOOTH be told, it’s a Love Story that is sure to make you “SAY AAH!”

Author Interview with Sunshine Rodgers

When did you first know you wanted to be an author?

I wanted to be an Author at a very young age. I was a student at Shady Grove Elementary School and my teacher, Ms. Bond introduced storytelling to me. A class project was to write a book – edited, formatted and illustrated – for a classroom competition. My book was called, “The Bear who lost his Way” about a bear who realized all his woodland friends could help him find his journey home.

I don’t think I won the competition, but that assignment truly won my heart and I kept my little “book” for safe-keeping as a reminder that imagination and storytelling are the key ingredients for every great writer.

When you are not writing, what other hats do you wear? What do you do for fun?

When I am not writing, I appear as a guest and featured author doing Media Interviews, primarily radio, podcasts, and online magazines. I am also a Brand Ambassador to 25 Fashion, Health, Food, and Skincare Companies. I am a Blogger and an Entrepreneur with 53,000 social media followers. I am married to the love of my life, Travis, and we reside in sunny Florida.

What is your favorite holiday? And why?

I love Valentine’s Day! I love Love! I even got married on Valentine’s Day! At Walt Disney World!! And now my husband and I celebrate our Wedding Anniversary on February 14^th which makes that holiday even more special!

Which character did you enjoy writing most?

My husband Travis Rodgers is a Main Character in nearly all of my books! In my Fiction Novel, The Characters Within, Travis plays the Love Interest. In my Fiction Novel, Andrew’s First Act, Travis is one of the Main Comedians. My husband has such a great sense of humor! In my Christian Dark Fiction Novel, The Roland Sisters and the Spirit Program, Travis plays a body guard. My husband is a former professional wrestler so I used that inspiration for the piece.

What is your current WIP? What can you tell us about it?

I am currently writing my Book #14, a Christian Fiction novel set to be released early 2024. Tentatively called, My Spiritual Mom, the main character Cami connects with a fellowship at her Church where she grows closer to the Lord… which is quite a different atmosphere from her family who worships the god of money, status and fame.
