Zara Steen Interview

The guest author for today on Interviews with Dante is Zara Steen. She is a writer of Paranormal and Fantasy Romance for both Young Adults and Adults . Her latest work is Blue Moon Rising book two in the Mercrutian Chronicle.

Please tell us a little about yourself.
I absolutely love writing and reading Paranormal and Fantasy Romance. I'm from Atlantic Canada, where I let my adventurous spirit roam for inspiration. My main aim with my writing is to create meaningful stories with captivating characters in magical places. I hope to inspire readers with a sense of joy, excitement, love, and wonder.

Tell us about your latest book.
My latest book released on August 22, 2015 is Blue Moon Rising. It is a young Adult Fantasy Romance about a society of Mermaids co-existing with humans in Seabright, Nova Scotia. The female protagonist, Anya, returns home in this sequel to Heart of Shell (the first Mercrutian Chronicle), after transcending to a full Mermaid over the summer. Now she has new powers, a new and stronger sense of herself, and new challenges she'll face.

What do you have coming out in the future?
In December, I'll be releasing King of Shadows, the second book in the Arzulian Kingdoms Series. This will overlap with the first book in the series Prince of Fire to tell part of Salha's story from her perspective and then encompass all of the characters. 

Is your book a stand-alone or a series?
Both of these books are part of a series but I do have a stand alone short story out right now called Eyesight. It is a quick enjoyable read in the New Adult Paranormal genre and was a winner of the Winter Solstice Short Story Contest. 

Why romance and what makes your particular brand of romance special?
I would say that my brand of romance is fun and sometimes silly, but most importantly I support and explore healthy equal relationships between characters. My young adult books especially try to support positive ideas about relationships. I write females who are strong and don't define themselves only by love, they ask themselves questions to listen to their mind and hearts. I write males who don't feel obligated to follow traditional roles, and ask themselves questions about what they think or feel. I want my characters to express genuine love and affection to their counterpart without being archetypes. 

Is romance the only genre that you write in or do you write in other genres? If so what other genres do you write in?
At this time I only write Romance. It's what I enjoy and I feel can have such a positive impact, so it is my area of focus.

​​In this sequel to Heart of Shell, Anya returns to Seabright changed. Summer has brought her deeper into the world of the Science Mers and what she's learning, she may not like. Meanwhile, Merrick seems the same, but keeps revealing more and more, despite Zale's attempts to curb his conversations with her. Now that The Depths are on the move, everything is changing for the Mers of Mercrutia.

From where do you draw your inspiration?
There are a lot of things that I find inspirational. Walks in nature can be especially helpful to create a sense of calmness and serenity that helps me with finding the right tone and voice. Generally with my ideas though they are eureka moments. An idea kind of pops into my mind and takes over. Suddenly I'm swept up into a scenario outside of myself and my curious nature wants to know more. So I ask myself questions and delve further into the tale. Characters will introduce themselves to me too, which sounds funny but is the easiest way to explain how it happens. I'll be daydreaming and they just pop into my head and say “Hello” because they have a story they want to be told. 

Do you ever base your characters on real people in your life?
I think every writer does whether we intend to or not. I wouldn't say that my characters are specific people in my life, but I would confess that sometimes a gesture, a thought process, or a way a character says things are slightly influenced by people I know. I think when it really comes down to knowing a character, they are telling me who they are – it's up to me to figure them out rather than create them. 

What authors inspire your writing?
When it comes to Romance: Sherrilyn Kenyon, Katie MacAlister, Nalini Singh, Marjorie M. Liu, and Lynsay Sands are some of my favorites. I admire their strong characters and their writing is always just what I need, a bit of intrigue and mystery, or some humor and laughs. I start reading and immediately I'm enveloped by the worlds they have written.

How have your real life experiences influenced your writing?
I'm very fortunate to have the love that I do in my life, with my partner, with my family, and with my friends. I believe all of those experiences influence the way I approach love and romance. I think because of the positivity and faith I have with these people no matter how dark or challenging a situation might appear my characters prevail.

​Anya isn't your typical teenager─ she's mostly mermaid. Only the successful transformation to magic and beauty seem elusive to her. Relocating to Seabright, Nova Scotia she finds that there may be some hope for her, until suddenly things become more complicated, and complicated's name is Merrick Price. A teal eyed, dark haired Mer from a warrior family, he's hand picked her for his mate and she isn't quite sure why. She's a science Mer with no mermaid tail in sight and can't seem to uncover his true feelings or his motives.

​What do you like to do when you are not writing?
Spending time with my loved ones is important to me. As well as taking time to have little adventures in nature. I find wildlife inspirational so I try to spend some time recuperating outdoors. I also like to mediate, craft, and read. 

How did you come up with the title of your book?
It popped into my head. I wanted something that would make you think of mermaids. The moon is equally important to the Mer mythology in my books like water is so Blue Moon Rising seemed very approriate. The rarity of the situation and the historical connotations and meanings surrounding a blue moon are reflective of the undelying themes in the book. 

What is the easiest part of the writing process for you?
Coming up with ideas is the easiest part for me. Sometimes I have too many ideas and I end up scribbling them all down and tucking them away for later when I'll get the chance to revisit. Once I have an idea,  from there the characters and places  and events flow very easily. 

Which of your characters is your favorite and why?
I actually haven't written my favourite character yet. She's a guardian named Stitia from a world called Morianna. I'll be writing her story in a fantasy romance series in 2017. 
If I had to choose a character from my current books though it would be challenging. I would say that Samira from Prince of Fire is my favourite female character and Merrick from Blue Moon Rising is my favourite male. I like Samira because she's tough and doesn't ever give up. No matter what life throws at her, she will perserveer. Merrick would be my favourite male because he gets overlooked sometimes. There's so many things about him that the reader will understand over time. He has a lot of layers and he's not always what he appears to be.

​Samira and Salha Khan, sisters living in modern Halifax, Nova Scotia, awake one day as slaves. Trapped in Arzule, an alternate world they've somehow been transported to, they struggle to make sense of their lives. When Samira is unexpectedly whisked away by an Akorian Prince, Arkson it seems as though their luck has gone even further astray. Samira finds herself drawn to this handsome prince, but cannot seem to decipher his intentions. He is a prince of many secrets, and Samira has secretive tendencies of her own.

​What is your preferred writing environment?
My home office. :) With a cup of hot tea, some instrumental music softly playing and my curtains open to an overcast or stormy day. There's something very magical about lightning, thunder, and rain that I find highly motivating. It might be the sense of awe.

How would you describe your writing style?
It is very creative and imaginate and I try to focus on also building a world that you find yourself engaged in exploring. My pacing is often fast with reflective moments for the reader to pause. There's a lot of action and positive dialogue going on. 

Do you have a careful plan when plotting your stories or do you just go with the flow?
I use both, I typically know what will happen in a book and will plot it out but when it comes to writing I think it is a very organic and cylical process. I'll write chapters, shift them around for the sake of flow and sometimes fill things in in chunks. I'm not a very linear writer. I write in circles until I've completed each part of the curve. 

With many publishing routes available today, which felt the most reliable to you when it came to the many choices? 
Online publishing by myself and through online publishing companies are my choice right now. ePublishing has been really accessible, easy to use and I think something that a lot of authors are exploring now. To me an eBook felt reliable since they're so widely used. I do certainly love a hard copy of a book and so enjoy the tactile feeling of flipping a page, but I feel like focusing on ePublishing is the way to start, print can develop later.

Forthcoming 12/9/2015
When did you know you truly wanted to give writing a shot?
In my heart, I've always been a writer, but there are times when outside influences can drown out that love and that instinct to write. At the beginning of this year I decided I would change. I had written a book that I wasn't talking about and another book (Heart of Shell) was just sitting there waiting to be shared. I took a course in the early spring called Infinite Possibilites and it was then I realized I had all these stories I wanted to tell-- that's when I said to myself, okay let's do this... now or never. 

What is your favorite quote?
“The secret to living the life of your dreams is to start living the life of your dreams today, in every little way you possibly can.” - Mike Dooley

Do you have any advice for other writers and what is it?
Keep writing. No matter what anyone ever says, there are millions of people out there waiting to read your book. The more you write, the better skills you acquire, so keep at it, and BE CONSISTENT. Write your plans out and know what you want to accomplish before you start writing. I don't start writing a book and know all of the ins and outs, but I do know that I will finish it and I think that's powerful in itself. 

Forgive yourself too, you're going to make mistakes and someone will notice. Put your best efforts forward, and another person will think it's great. ; ) Writing involves a lot of evolution. 


Wild Card Question.
As an author, what is the one question that you wish people would ask you, but no one ever has and what would your answer be to that question?


If you could ask your readers anything, what would it be?
I would ask for them to provide positive constructive feedback or reviews. I think we sometimes hesistate to connect with authors to let them know what we thought of their books, if we enjoyed them or that we're waiting for their next book to come out. For independent authors this is something that is highly motivating and so appreciated. Reading a review that someone enjoyed your book, or what they thought of your characters can be wonderful! It also helps us think of things we hadn't considered before. Plus on the bad days when we want to give up and throw in the towel, we then think, no I can't someone out there wants to know more.

Alisha Short Interview

9/25/2015

0 Comments

 
The guest author for today on Interviews with Dante is Alisha Short. She is a writer of Contemporary Romance. Her latest work is Captive-Veiled Desires.
Picture
Please tell us a little about yourself.
Like most authors, my love of writing stemmed from my love of reading. I can’t remember when I started. According to my mom, I started reading as early as 2 years. But moms are moms and they are known to exaggerate out of their love for their children. I was always known as the girl with a book in her hand and so it was natural that I tried to seek a career in it. After beating several different paths in life, I’ve finally made it to the one I love. One that involves dreaming and writing beautiful tales.

Tell us about your latest book.
My latest book is titled Captive-Veiled Desires. Veiled Desires is the first book in the Captive series.  This is the story about a young woman who embarks on an excited journey as a freelance photographer. She intends to explore the unknown and as a result chooses Kashmir as her first point of destination.  However one day, she snaps a picture of a handsome man by a lake and this incident leads to her kidnapping. She is suspected to be a spy and thus her horror begins. Ironically, her only hope for freedom lies in the very man who is the cause of this chaos itself.

What do you have coming out in the future?
Wow, do the ideas ever stop churning! I am excited with the stories I have yet to tell and share with my readers. And I can’t wait to put them on paper quickly enough. But for the very near future I can reveal the following:

1.      A Jar of Hearts. This is the second and final book about the romance between Anne Mullen, a blind woman and Eric Tanner, an assassin.

2.      The Yearning. A story about two people who have lost a lot in life and are in still in the stages of mourning for their loved ones. But for some reason fate brings them together and they help each other to heal.

3.      Claimed 2. A continuation of the dystopian fantasy romance between Jared Ryder, a chimera and the aristocratic daughter of a corrupt politician, Ellie Callum.

4.      Captive- Royal Heat. This is the second book in the Captive series and stars Ethan Afridi, Adam’s brother.

Is your book a stand-alone or a series?
It is a stand-alone. However, it is a series in the sense it encapsulates the same theme and the same family.

Why romance and what makes your particular brand of romance special?
I love romances, whether they are in a book or a movie or on TV. I still have to figure ‘the why’ though. But I do realize it’s a lot to do with making me happy that I don’t get from other genres. There is a connection between two people, there is love and then there is the happily ever after. Sometimes, you don’t get the HEA but that’s okay. Because I went on a journey of love and that made up for it. Perhaps it is indeed due to my dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin levels that I love romances.  But there is certainly a euphoria about romance.

So what does make my particular brand special? A Clarissa Cartharn romance offers readers a different plot in each book, centering about an important theme. For instance my first book, Winter’s End is about a widow, caught in small town gossip and who finds love in the oddest of all places. Red Collar is about a young woman who is trying to make ends meet for her family and as a result turns to prostitution as a final resort. But her principles are challenged when she starts falling in love with her first client. Claimed is about a man who discovers he is a chimera, a mutant with wolf and eagle genes. He falls in love with the daughter of a governor and thus begins the social and class divide in their love affair. Affairs and Atonement is about a young man who regrets his decisions as a youth and embarks on trying to seek atonement from the woman he had unfairly treated and as result discovers he still loves her. So in my romances, readers are guaranteed something new, adventurous and exciting.

Is romance the only genre that you write in or do you write in other genres? If so what other genres do you write in?
At present, romance is the only genre I write in. But if opportunity permits, I would love to try a thriller someday. Or perhaps, a crime drama or horror.

From where do you draw your inspiration?
Inspiration comes from everywhere. Anything could spark it. I could be speaking to you and I would get inspired to write a story. The other day I was watching the news on TV and I thought “wow, that would make a great base for a story”.

Do you ever base your characters on real people in your life? 
Rarely. The closest I have got to basing on real people were Emma Winston’s children in “Winter’s End”.  The personalities of her children were based slightly on my own.

What do you like to do when you are not writing?
When I am not writing, I am usually busy being the mom, the wife, the cook, the housekeeper or the designated cabbie for children as I rush them to and fro between their extracurricular classes. But when I do get the time for myself, I lose myself in a book or in the garden or have a game of tennis with the family.

 How did you come up with the title of your book?
“Captive” was pretty easy to come up with since the theme of the book was regarding captivity. It was the subtitle, “Veiled Desires” which I had to work slightly harder for. The plot is set in Afghanistan, and as is customary there, women are required to cover their heads. “Veiled Desires” as a result hints at both:

The desires behind the veil

Those people who try to hide their feelings about someone


Do you read romance or do you prefer other genres?
I am eclectic in my reading preferences. I read what calls to me. I might read a romance one day, a thriller another or a biography the next.

What celebrity would you chose to play the main character(s) in the movie rendition of your book?
Oh dear (laughs).  I’m going to dream big and say Jake Gyllenhaal for Adam Afridi and Rosamund Pike for Nora Jennings. I think Jake Gyllenhaal had made a fabulous dark prince in Prince of Persia and whose character Prince Dastan, is somewhat similar to Adam Afridi except with more brooding and drama. And because Gyllenhaal is a wonderful actor ranging in different styles of acting, he’d be able to pull off a dark, brooding Pashtun warlord such as Adam Afridi any day.

As for Rosamund Pike, I think she is gorgeous and her acting is absolutely top-notch. I loved her performance in Gone Girl. She is one of those rare actresses who can tear up and still look pretty doing it, which would be perfect for Nora Jennings.

What is the hardest part of the writing process for you?
This would probably be the beginning of the plot and the conclusion. The beginning is important because that is the foundation. Everything is based upon that and if there are cracks, everything else begins to fall apart. Also you need to start off with a bang, something that will captivate the reader and make it worthwhile for them to continue on with the story. It is the lure, the bait.

The conclusion is important because you need to tie up everything at the end and you want to smoothen it and shine it so it doesn’t look abrupt. It must blend into the flow of the writing so the reader will get that closure they need.

What is the easiest part of the writing process for you?
For me, this would most probably be the idea itself. I have more than a dozen plot ideas in the pipeline. But to actually start working and turning them into a feasible tale- that is another story.

Which of your characters is your favorite and why?
I’ve always said my characters are like my children. You love them all, which makes it all the more hard to play favorites. But because I’ve just finished with Veiled Desires, I would have to go with Adam Afridi and Nora Jennings.

Adam is the dark, handsome mysterious stranger who comes to the aid of a helpless woman, falls hard in love, protects those he loves and does not shy from shedding that tear when needs be.

Nora has got an inner strength I love and admire. She pushes on despite her circumstances and does not submit to her oppressors so easily. She fights to survive and will do what it takes to win back her freedom.


What is your preferred writing environment?
I wish my husband could answer this. (chuckles) He has been trying relentlessly to tame and train me to sit on a desk. But like my reading, I love to write in different places. Sometimes it is the couch; other times the bed or the dinner table. I could write in the middle of noise and chaos. Those things don’t bother me at all. Because once I get immersed in the worlds of my characters, nothing else seems to exist.

When did you know you truly wanted to give writing a shot?
I’ve always wanted to write, but circumstances didn’t give me a chance until a few years ago. I suppose I would still be working in a dreary law firm if it had not been for my children. I quit working to raise them, but I quickly discovered I got bored between 9am and 3pm (their school hours). So one day I picked up my notebook and started typing. Never stopped since.
 
Do you have any advice for other writers and what is it?
Be yourself. Do what you’re comfortable with. I gave up imitating a long long time ago. I find more peace just writing what I love and doing what I do.  My best wishes to Nora Roberts and Danielle Steele and Debbie Macomber. But I love being me and I am best doing it.

Wild Card Question.
As an author, what is the one question that you wish people would ask you, but no one ever has and what would your answer be to that question?

Why do I write about social themes? For instance it was prostitution in Red Collar and ‘bacha baazi’ in Captive- Veiled Desires.
While my main objective of my books is to entertain and produce titillating tales of love, I would like to use the opportunity to enlighten on certain problems affecting us as human beings.  My most recent issue has been bacha-bazi in Veiled Desires.

‘Bacha-bazi’ is the Persian term for ‘playing with pre-pubescent boys’. It involves child sex slavery and prostitution of boys, some as young as nine years.  It is an old Afghan tradition which is forbidden by both Afghan and Sharia law. However, most often authorities turn a blind eye to these cases because of the power bacha-bazi owners hold.  We can only pray that one day this gruesome practice will stop.

Ashley Dooley Interview

9/20/2015

0 Comments

 
The guest author for today on Interviews with Dante is Ashley Dooley. She is a writer of Contemporary Romance. Her latest work is Altering Authority. 
Picture
Please tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Ashley Dooley. I am a new author and a homeschooling mom of two. I am originally from St. John’s, Newfoundland and am currently living in Alberta. I am a believer in fairies and breeder of gingers (Ha-ha!). I married my JUNIOR High school sweetheart and together we’ve created ArtsyDarlynn Books. We hope to sign many authors and have them publish under our name!

 Tell us about your latest book.
My first and latest book, Altering Authority has been out since May. It is currently number three on Listopia’s King of the Bad Boys list and has been selling wonderfully. It’s about  a girl named Tatum who has always lived luxuriously, in the shadow of her mobster father. After taking over the family businesses when he dies unexpectedly, a family secret comes to light and turns her world upside down.

She is thrown into the mix with another gang of criminals with very different lifestyles and opinions.

She meets their leader, the sexy, mercurial and very dangerous Jager and is annoyed by his icy cold demeanor and his belief that their lifestyle is no place for a woman.

Determined to change his mind, she sets out on a course that not only causes him to open up to her and see her as an equal, but forces him to face his past and acknowledge that he’s fallen in love with her.

What do you have coming out in the future?
I am currently writing book two in the Authority Series.

Is your book a stand-alone or a series?
The Authority series is a trilogy, although I have some spin-off stories in mind. I’m thinking of maybe doing a book of short stories that branches out from other characters in the book when the series is all done.

Why romance and what makes your particular brand of romance special?
I have an appetite for books with romance. I devour them! Stories where there is none bore me. My particular brand of romance is special because I don’t believe in helpless females. My characters don’t need a man to save them. They can save themselves. They are flawed and real, yet tough and easy to fall in love with.

Is romance the only genre that you write in or do you write in other genres? If so what other genres do you write in?
So far romance is the only genre I’ve been published in. I have a story that I’ve been working on for years that is kind of Sci Fi. Once the authority series is done, I’m hoping the finish up that series. It’s kind of my baby. I want it to be just right and at the moment I’m not really in a fantasy-type of mind and you definitely have to be all in to write a story as outlandish as this one.

When they accept their feelings, will their obligations allow them to be together? Or will it be too late?

From where do you draw your inspiration?
My inspiration comes from real life, TV shows that I watch, songs that I listen to. Basically everywhere. I’m a huge daydreamer and come from a long line of amazing story tellers (I think it’s the Irish in me ;)).
 
Do you ever base your characters on real people in your life?
Some of my characters are based on friends and family in real life, however the similarities are pretty limited. While I love Tatum and Jager, I thank my lucky stars that I don’t know anyone really like them in real life. They are kind of terrifying. Haha!

What authors inspire your writing?
I like to think that my writing is all my own. I’m pretty new to it actually. Authors that I love however include Jojo Moyes, Cassandra Claire, Richelle Mead, and Deborah Harkness.
 
How have your real life experiences influenced your writing?
It depends on the book I suppose. The Authority series is about gangsters, prostitutes, drug dealers and strippers. I’d have to say that thankfully, none of my real life experiences have had anything to do with that.

The fantasy book that I am writing is about fairies, which were a huge influence in my town as a child. Kids were terrified of them and truly believed they existed, however the Newfoundland legend of fairies is a lot darker than the stories other moms and dads read to their children at night.

 What do you like to do when you are not writing?
When I’m not writing I draw. Before publishing I ran a successful shop on etsy selling my art. Also, my husband and I are big movie nerds so we do that a lot.

What was your road to publishing like? Tell us about it.
Publishing was surprisingly quick. The process was tedious. Writing, editing, promoting… That stuff takes a lot of work.

How did you come up with the title of your book?
I knew that the main character in my book, Jager, was going to have a nickname as the gang leader. I thought about words that gave the character a sense of ‘Authority’ and then realized that that word in itself would work. Ha! The title of all three books will be a play on that name. Altering Authority represents Jager changing his frame of mind, how he feels about women and love. It also marks him giving up his role as authority, to an extent. When he and Tatum fall in love, they kind of share in the title together.

Do you read romance or do you prefer other genres?
Romance is my favorite genre. I typically only stick to that however every now and then a story will come along that is out of that realm that I fall in love with. The Virgin Cure by Ami McKay for instance.

What is your absolute favorite book or books and why is it special to you?
There are so many. Jane Eyre was definitely one of them. The girl you left behind by Jojo Moyes as well. They have strong females, and despite the adversities they face, they still get their man!

What celebrity would you chose to play the main character(s) in the movie rendition of your book?
I have this narrowed down to a science! Tatum is strikingly beautiful but kind of rough around the edges. Megan Fox would definitely play her and Jager, while tough and dangerous, also has a soft side. I feel like Garrett Hedlund could do him justice.

Have you joined any writer’s groups?
I am on a few writers groups on Google+ and Goodreads although I’ll be honest, I have no idea how to work them! Threads confuse me and I don’t have the patience to constantly scroll through the dozens of post on a daily basis. My favorite was to connect with other readers and writers is through Instagram and Facebook.

Which of your characters is your favorite and why?
I have a bit of a weak spot of Tatum’s biological (When you read the book, you’ll know why I had to call him that) father, Phil. He’s a Scottish biker with a crazy moustache who shoots up warehouses with his criminal friends, yet he plays with Jagers kids, loves his daughter and tells her so daily. He calls other women ‘darlin’’. Swoon.

What is your preferred writing environment?
I love just hanging out on my bed with a good frappacino and my laptop. I’ll lock myself in there after supper, leave the kids and my husband to fend for themselves and write for hours, or until he can’t handle it anymore and calls on me to settle an argument or discipline by son for being a pain in the ass.

Do you have a careful plan when plotting your stories or do you just go with the flow?
I always do jot notes before hand so that I know that my story has a beginning, middle and end. It has a climax, a problem, a solution… if I didn’t do this, I’d ramble on and on forever.

With many publishing routes available today, which felt the most reliable to you when it came to the many choices?
I’m probably the most impatient person in existence. I knew I wanted to be published. I knew that people would love my story and I knew that it needed to get out there as soon as possible. The only way to do that was through self-publishing. I also wanted full control over my book. All the rights, permissions… promoting is a little bit harder on your own however, if the story is good enough, it will promote itself.

What is your favorite quote?
“You see, in my view a writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, because everything she does is golden. In my view a writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway." – Junot Diaz

Do you have any advice for other writers and what is it?
Just do it. Don’t second guess yourself, don’t worry about the critics. J.K. Rowling has critics. Stephen King has critics. George R.R. Martin has critics. Not everybody will like your reading but what matters is the people who do.

Kelly Marshall Interview

9/15/2015

The guest author for today on Interviews with Dante is Kelly Marshal. She is a writer of Romance and Mystery Novels. Her latest work is The Chair with coauthor Larry Flanders. 
Picture
Please tell us a little about yourself.
I always thought I would communicate in the world as a writer. As a child I was a voracious reader, and knew someday I would pen a great novel. But life sometimes takes left turns and I went to broadcasting school instead of a four-year college. I wanted to be the next Barbara Walters and make a million a year. Well that didn’t happen, but I did spend thirty years having fun, spinning records, interviewing people, doing love song dedications. I had a ball until…Congress passed a law in 1996 allowing broadcast corporations to own multiple radio stations in one market. Well, the gobbling began and soon behemoths like Clear Channel ate up radio stations like locusts in a wheat field. And radio announcers like me were axed on bloody Fridays with surgical precision. I left radio, went to work for the US Federal Government, and in my private hours, began doing what I really loved doing. Writing. 

 Tell us about your latest book.
The Chair is about love the second time around.  In a small town in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, widower Paul Bixby develops a deep friendship with bank teller Linda Bauman—a friendship he hopes will evolve into something more. When Linda’s unusual fascination with highchairs comes to light, Paul builds an exquisite chair for her, crafting the chair with love.

Linda thought her parents had died when she was an infant, leaving her to be raised by her grandparents. She treasures the highchair she used as a child as a symbol of their unconditional love. But when a man shows up at the bank and claims to be her father, Linda searches the Internet and is stunned to learn of a long-buried family tragedy and an unspeakable crime.

Linda moves with her boss, Brad Erickson, to a branch office in a different town and secretly shares a home with him. Though devastated by Linda’s choice, Paul steps aside and wishes the best for her. But is Brad the man she hoped he would be? Or is Paul’s quiet love what she needs?


 What do you have coming out in the future?
I am currently writing a murder mystery called Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die. A serial killer is murdering lesbians in Seattle. Homicide detectives Nick Winston and Pat Strom are assigned the case and hope to find the butcher before he mutilates and murders another woman. For Pat Strom, the case becomes terrifying and personal.

 Is your book a stand-alone or a series?
The Chair is a stand-alone. Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die is the third in a series about Seattle homicide detectives Nick Winston and Pat Strom.

 Why romance and what makes your particular brand of romance special?
I love the mix of romance and murder. My mysteries are salacious and sexy. I love to keep the action moving both in the bedroom and the squad room.

Is romance the only genre that you write in or do you write in other genres? If so what other genres do you write in?
Mystery and crime.

From where do you draw your inspiration?
It bubbles up from some strange place in my brain. I just open the valve and let it flow.

 Do you ever base your characters on real people in your life?
Of course, I do, but I don’t use the whole person. One woman I knew had marvelous hands and I loved writing about her hands. In The Chair, Brad’s personality is based on a man I once dated. He was a jerk who treated women terribly. I really enjoyed writing Brad.

 What authors inspire your writing?
Anne Rice will always be at the top of my list of admired authors. The sensuous, decadent detail in her vampire novels is simply amazing and her colorful descriptions of the Garden District in New Orleans were so vivid, I could smell the fragrant bougainvillea.  Romance writer, Sandra Brown is another. I always learn from her sex scenes. She can write them smooth and sexy, but classy.

 How have your real life experiences influenced your writing?
Yes. Of course. Whoever we are, whatever we have learned finds its way into our writing.

What do you like to do when you are not writing?
I work full-time for the Federal Government, am raising a grandson, and write novels. There’s not much time left. I am studying Italian. I love languages but struggle to find a few extra minutes to study.

What was your road to publishing like? Tell us about it.
I spent a LOT of money on writer’s conferences. I polished my elevator pitch and learned to assault agents and editors in hallways, elevators, and yes, even bathrooms. I was never comfortable with that process. I got a few nibbles but nothing that ever came to fruition. I queried agents and publishers on the Internet regularly and eventually nabbed an agent. That relationship lasted a year, but she never secured a publisher for me. Tired of playing the traditional game, I decided to epub my book. I sold a few copies and felt good that it least it was “out there.” But sales were minimal. California Times Publishing contacted me and asked to represent me. I was thrilled that FINALLY I had been asked to the prom. It has proved to be a supportive, satisfying relationship. Jeff Napolitano is the publisher and is simply great to work with.  I’m not a best-selling author yet, but I’m working on it.

Do you read romance or do you prefer other genres?
I prefer a juicy who-dun-it. I am eager to see if I can solve the mystery before the author does the big reveal. 
 
What is your absolute favorite book or books and why is it special to you?
My all-time favorite is The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough. The pull of forbidden love was heart-wrenching and enticing. I must admit I love 50 Shades of Grey too. Initially, I read about fifty pages and thought, wow, there’s sex on every page. This is over the top. I was vocal on social media about what a lousy book it was and advised everyone to save their money. After a few months, I picked the book up again and gave it a second chance. I became entranced with the love story. Christian adored Anastasia, just like Edward worshiped Bella. Women ache to be cherished. That hooked me.

Have you joined any writer’s groups?
I am a member of a writer’s critique group. We met several years ago in a romance writing course at a community college. We started meeting monthly and have been together ever since. We are very supportive of each other and I trust them implicitly. I have written three novels since joining this group. It’s great to get free editing!

What is the hardest part of the writing process for you?
Editing is the most time-consuming and challenging.

What is the easiest part of the writing process for you?
Is there an easy part? I haven’t found that yet.

Which of your characters is your favorite and why?
My favorite character is in a previous book, 6 White Roses.  Tandy Williams is a raucous, sexy, lovable girlfriend to Detective Nick Winston. She’s very creative in the bedroom and was just plain fun to write.

Who or what are your inspirations/influences?
Again, I must mention Anne Rice. I once stood five hours in towering heels just to get an autograph and photo with her. My feet wouldn’t agree, but it was worth every minute of the wait. I am crazy for early Stephen King. His later material, not so much.

What is your preferred writing environment? 
Early weekend mornings I sit down in my recliner and write before my grandson wakes up.  My brain is fresh and I produce some of my best writing.

How would you describe your writing style?
My novels are spicy and the fast-paced. To bore my reader would be the kiss of death.

Do you have a careful plan when plotting your stories or do you just go with the flow?
With Romance, I let my characters drive the story. With my murder mysteries, I have to carefully plot where I am going to drop my clues in the storyline.

When did you know you truly wanted to give writing a shot?
I’ve always wanted to write. I was side-tracked by broadcasting, but that was okay. I loved radio and had tons of fun, but deep down, it was always writing that called me.

Do you have any advice for other writers and what is it?
It’s a tough business and the competition is fierce. Hang in there and find people who support you.

Wild Card Question.
As an author, what is the one question that you wish people would ask you, but no one ever has and what would your answer be to that question?

What do you get out of writing?
I love the creative process. I just dig words and molding them together to create a wonderful sentence excites me.

Ryanne Anthony Interview

9/10/2015

0 Comments

 
The guest author for today on Interviews with Dante is Ryanne Anthony. She is a writer of Contemporary Romance. Her latest work is Falling: Book One of the Negative Ion series. 
Picture
Please tell us a little about yourself.
I’m Ryanne Anthony… wife, mother, goddess and I live for caviar, smoked salmon and Chandon.

Okay, seriously, I am a wife and mother but I’m more of a Tendercrisp girl. That’s Burger King… and I am addicted to Angie’s Boom Chicka Pop Popcorn, Angry Orchard Crisp Apple Hard Cider, AriZona Arnold Palmer’s and CHOCOLATE!

Oh, and I am a writer…

Tell us about your latest book.
Falling: Book One of the Negative Ion Series is the story of Jaxen and Kimber, through Kimber’s POV. These two have to have a relationship that will only last 125 days, then she’s off to New York to intern at her father’s law office then to law school. Kimber has to leave Jaxen behind in California and pursue her dreams, even after falling hard and deep in love with the ultimate bad boy.

What do you have coming out in the future?
I have the next two installments of the Negative Ion Series, Despair and Fell. Soon, I hope to get the M Series off the ground, as well.

Is your book a stand-alone or a series?
This one is the first of a three-part series.

Why romance and what makes your particular brand of romance special?
Romance, because it’s what I know. I experienced it and I love it. It is out there, despite what some may think. Keeping it, well, that’s the conundrum, I think.

My brand is ‘special’ because I like to give my stories believable plotlines; twists and turns, if you will. It makes a far more interesting story, I think, if you don’t see something coming. Just when you think, ‘hey, now he/she is going to do the right thing’ BAM! Something you were not expecting pops up and you want to reach in and either slap the character or hold him/her tight in your arms and console them while promising a slow, painful death to their antagonizer. That, to me, is entertainment.

Is romance the only genre that you write in or do you write in other genres? If so what other genres do you write in?
Picture
Kimber wanted to be a lawyer almost as much as she wanted Roland Sampson, her older brother’s best friend. After pining for him for two years, Kimber finally accepts that to Roland, she will always be “his best friend’s kid sister” and nothing more.

During her first year of college, Kimber meets Samantha and her twin, ultimate bad-boy Jaxen Malloy, drummer for Negative Ion. Tatted. Muscled. Beyond gorgeous. Soon Kimber finds herself forgetting Roland and thinking only of Jaxen, much to Samantha’s disappointment. Like Kimber’s brother, Samantha wants Kimber as far away from Jaxen, female enemy number one, as possible since she knew all Jaxen would do is viciously hurt her. Not this time, Kimber insisted. Well-schooled on Jaxen’s reputation, Kimber decides to take what she can get, and ignore all the warnings to stay away from the handsome bad-boy.

Will Jaxen ever think of Kimber as something other than his “annoying” sister’s friend or could he possibly be falling for her, too? Kimber hoped so and, to find out, she was willing to take the risk of Jaxen breaking her heart… and soul.

Do you ever base your characters on real people in your life?
All the time! Self, included. There is some of and my husband in every character I create.

What authors inspire your writing?
Judy Blume has always been the best to me, no matter what she writes.

How have your real life experiences influenced your writing?
Tremendously. I have repeatedly pulled from real life events and twisted them, in several books. Not all, but some.

What do you like to do when you are not writing?
Read, listen to music, research with my husband ☺, teach my daughter not to say ‘I can’t’.

What was your road to publishing like? Tell us about it.
Long and winding, and still a bit nerve-wrecking. I’m hoping to get the hang of it soon. Fingers crossed.

How did you come up with the title of your book?
When I title a book, it’s usually as a desperate act to move on. Titling books and naming characters have to be the hardest part of writing to me. No clue why.

Do you read romance or do you prefer other genres?
I think I do prefer romance, HEA or not, I think. Now that I think about it, yeah, I really do. I’ve read other genres, sure, but somehow, me and romance are a fit.

What celebrity would you chose to play the main character(s) in the movie rendition of your book?
Jaxen Malloy was characterized after Colin Wayne. Took one look at that guy and I had Jaxen.

I see Emma Stone as Kimber; I think she’d be perfect as Kimber.

Jesse Williams as Parker, Charles Michael Davis as Roland, and Lyndsy Fonseca as Samantha.

Which of your characters is your favorite and why?
By far, Bobby E. from Effection is my all-time favorite. Close second has to be Marcus Cannon from the M Series. Madison is my favorite female character, followed closely by Kaia from Effection.

What is your preferred writing environment?
I like complete and total quiet, a can of tea and no interruptions when I sit to write… except for my Spotify blasting, preferably Seether but I basically listen to anything.

How would you describe your writing style?
Hectic, complicated and entertaining. If you don’t cry AND laugh AND scream AND get angry in every book I’ve written, at least twice, I’ve failed and that disappoints me.

Do you have a careful plan when plotting your stories or do you just go with the flow?
I start out with a plan and most times, I write the ending/epilogue before I write the story. My goal is to get my ‘babies’ to that ending.

With many publishing routes available today, which felt the most reliable to you when it came to the many choices?
Still weighing the options, so perhaps ask me again in about a year.

When did you know you truly wanted to give writing a shot?
When I finished Mariah, then Broken and finally let people read them. Apparently they were ‘so good’ that I ‘could not be so selfish as to keep them from the public.

What is your favorite quote?
Interjections show excitement or emotion. They’re generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point, or by a comma when the feeling’s not as strong.

Do you have any advice for other writers and what is it?
When I write, I try to be humorous, serious and forthcoming. I look to entertain and keep my characters in the way I’ve portrayed them from the beginning. I want you to laugh, cry, yell, scream, drink, threaten and want to toss your reading device when you read my words. If you manage to threaten my brain, well… my work was done correctly and I’ve earned a fan, hopefully. Strive to do the same things, some if not all, with everything you write but be true to YOU and what you want your ‘babies’ to do, say and be.

Wild Card Question.
As an author, what is the one question that you wish people would ask you, but no one ever has and what would your answer be to that question?

Why don’t you write faster? I need more of Marcus! Matthew! Joshua! Jaxen! Ren! Stone! Greg! Mike! Pleeeeeeease gimme more! More! More!
Okay, lovely! Just give me a little while longer and you will have them, I promise!

Where did your imagination come from?
No clue. I just… have no idea whatsoever.

Ariel Marie Interview

9/5/2015

0 Comments

 
Today's guest author on Interviews with Dante is Ariel Marie. She is the author of the Mirrored Prophecy series, which begins with Power of the Fae. Enjoy learning a bit about this wonderful author.
Picture
Please tell us a little about yourself.
Lover of all romance books, the genre of romance doesn’t matter. It just depends on my mood. Sometimes, I like to read the historical romance, other days, science fiction or even military. My all time favorite is paranormal romance. I began reading romance books at an early age. I love escaping to another world. I’ve had ideas for stores for a while now and finally decided to take the plunge to write my own romance novels.  Aside from reading and writing, I am a registered nurse that works in the transplant field.  In my leisure time, you will find me with a book in my hand to relax and escape the stressors of life in general.  

Tell us about your latest book.
My latest book is Power of the Fae. It is the first installment to the Mirrored Prophecy series. It is about a young Faery Princess who is a Guardian of the Fae. The Guardians are Faery’s protectors. She is sent to the human realm to investigate vanishing supernaturals, not knowing that she is the center of an ancient prophecy. Fate has placed the weight of the realms on her shoulders and a sexy Alpha wolf in her path.

What do you have coming out in the future?
Book 2 of the Mirrored Prophecy, Fight for the Fae will come out this fall. I am working on another series that I have yet to come up with a name yet. This series will debut this fall also.

Why romance and what makes your particular brand of romance special?
I love romance because everyone loves a good love story. I love paranormal romance because I can create a whole new world that we can fantasize about and throw a good love story with that and I’m hooked! Plus I find that we all want fantasize about Shifters, Fae and Vampires!

From where do you draw your inspiration?
My imagination has always been a little more heighten than the average person. There are many times that I catch myself daydreaming and now, I tend to write down my ideas thus the creations of my novels. 

What do you like to do when you are not writing?
When I am not writing, I love to read. Aside from writing and reading, I love to cook and bake. I love trying out new recipes. Most of my cooking is from scratch or semi-homemade.

What was your road to publishing like? Tell us about it.
My road to publishing was very educational. I am an indie author so I do not have a publisher. So my first steps when I decided to become an author were to figure out the best route of publishing my books. After hours of researching on the Internet, I decided that indie is the way to go. It is a lot of work but I feel that it has been worth it and the satisfaction when my first book was released was so much greater.

How did you come up with the title of your book?
When I began writing Power of the Fae, I did not have a title or any clue on what I was going to name it. It didn’t hit me until I was almost half way through writing, on what I would name the book but then I didn’t know what the series was going to be called. It wasn’t until I had finished writing the book that I came up with a name for the series.

Is your book a stand-alone or a series?
Power of the Fae is the first installment to the Mirrored Prophecy series. So far, the Mirrored Prophecy series will be a three book series. I may add to it so readers will have to stay tuned to see what happens.

Picture
The Ancients spoke of a Mirrored Prophecy that would determine the future. One version of the prophecy spoke of a small female of mixed heritage giving birth to a child that will save mankind. The other side of the prophecy spoke of the female’s child being the demise of the world. 

The Princess of the Light Fae, Arlina Waldmar, may be small but she is deadly. She is a member of the elite Guardians of the Fae. She has been given the assignment of going to the human realm to investigate the vanishing supernaturals. 

Colin MacKenzie, Alpha wolf, has determined that finding a mate is not in his future. His people are vanishing. He will need to lead his Legion, defenders of werewolves to find them. His wolf has recognized a certain dark haired Faery Princess to be his mate, but he refuses to claim her. 

There is an evil set on destroying the Human and Faery realms. Colin and Arlina must work together to defeat this evil. His thoughts are constantly on Arlina. Arlina knows there is no fighting the attraction between them. Can she convince him to give them a chance before it’s too late?

Do you read romance or do you prefer other genres?
When I read for pleasure, I only read romance. I’m sure you are aware that in the romance category, there are different genres to pick from.  There is just something about reading about two people falling in love with action, or paranormals or with mystery involved in it. I love all romance books. 

What is your absolute favorite book or books and why is it special to you?
Out of all the books I have read, there is no way I can limit one to being my favorite. I would say that any book that jerks with my emotions, ropes me into the story to the point of me thinking about the book once I put it down would definitely be considered a keeper. I don’t like crying when reading but if the book can bring out tears, then it’s a winner. 

Have you joined any writer’s groups?
I am a member of the Romance Writers of America (RWA). I have learned so much by being a member of this organization that will assist with my writing. 

Have you won any awards for your writing?
I’m a new author but I hope in the future that my writing me recognized and have the honor to win an award. 

What is the hardest part of the writing process for you?
When writing my books, I always want to go back and proof it, add to it and take away things. I want the book to be perfect so I tend to overthink things when it comes to my books. I want my readers to be able to imagine the world that I write about and hope that they are able to lose themselves in the story just as I did while I was writing it. So I tend to be hard on myself trying to perfect each book. 

What is the easiest part of the writing process for you?
The easiest part of writing is coming up with a story line and plot. I love choosing names for characters and I try to pick names that would not be commonly used. I also love developing a new world. That seems to come easy to me because when you are the author, no one can tell you that you are doing it wrong when it comes from your imagination. 

Which of your characters is your favorite and why?
So far, my favorite character is Arlina. Arlina is the type of female that is intelligent, tough as nails and will do for herself. She doesn’t need anyone to take care of herself but yet can remain feminine and balances the tough warrior Princess persona with being a lady. 

What is your preferred writing environment?
Right now with summer approaching, I love to go out on my back patio with my laptop to write.  Fresh air, a cool drink and my laptop is the perfect circumstance for writing. 

Do you have a careful plan when plotting your stories or do you just go with the flow?
A little of both. I will start out knowing what I want to happen in the story. So I will start out a loose outline but then I fill it in with things that I dream up when I take a break from writing. 

Wild Card Question. 
As an author what is the one question that you wish people would ask you, but no one ever has and what would your answer be to that question?

Would you ever consider writing a story from the villain’s point of view? 
Some stories you never know what the villain is thinking. In Power of the Fae, I do switch to the POV of the Villain. I am thinking of a future story where it will from the Villain’s POV. I think that will be fun and different! Bad guys and girls deserve love too!
