Interview with Denise Daye, Author of Under Covers

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Under Covers?

I often find myself rooting for unlikely couples when I watch TV, so I try to offer this theme to readers who are right there with me.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Romance. I breathe romance. Always have, always will. I could spend hours, every day, reading romance novels if I had the time.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

I don’t have a specific one picked out yet, but after things calm down with my move and the remodel of my home, I will dive into a steamy, true love romance book.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The scene in which Noah meets Andrei for the first time. It required a lot of thinking to make them both strong and intelligent in different ways.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I mostly write when my son is asleep. So nap times, etc. There are times when he just fell asleep, and I start writing, and all of a sudden, he starts twitching, and I think to myself, ‘oh oh, not yet, buddy, you just fell asleep… Mama needs more time.’

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Every day is a new day, every moment is a new moment.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

Every reader is so different. Some might remember a character, others a dialogue. I love to read reviews as it really tells me how readers felt reading my book. It is similar to the joy of cooking for others and then watching them eat and hoping they will like it.

Interview with Kieron Holland, Author of As Thick As Thieves, The Price of Infamy

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write As Thick As Thieves, The Price of Infamy?

I just love period adventures and fantasy adventures. I have been into them all my life. I am also into crime fiction and heist stories, and this was an attempt to blend the two genres.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Historical fiction, fantasy adventure, Sci-fi, and Crime fiction.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Eon by Greg Bear, and the Witcher series.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

There were many scenes I really enjoyed writing, but one that springs to mind is when Cohen and Charlotte break Hilda out of the palace dungeon and then have to escape. I really enjoy writing scenes that are based in comedy.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

Not really. Writing has always been a passion for me, but like most people I have a day job and a family and many commitments. I guess I have trained myself to write anywhere, anytime.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

"If there is something you really want to do in life - have a go! You might just succeed." This is definitely one of my philosophies.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I really just wanted this to be a fun entertaining read. I hope readers get some laughs and enjoy it.

Interview with Brenda Trim, Author of Magical Complications

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Magical Complications?

When I initially decided to start writing in the Paranormal Women's Fiction genre, I developed a group of friends that went through a midlife magical crisis and this book is from Aislinn's point of view when her crisis hits its peak.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Magical Complications, what would they be?

"Exchange" by Bryson Tiller.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Anything fantasy and paranormal.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

I am currently reading the latest KF Breene release and will move on to the next Lia Davis and LA Borouf in their Packless in Seattle series.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The scene where the three friends are magically kidnapped from the bookstore and sent to some unknown caves.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I have to have an energy drink next to me (even if I'm not drinking it) and a rerun of one of the classic paranormal shows on in the background.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Dream Big! I believe in always setting your goals high and never quitting.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I want readers to remember to never stop fighting. Whatever life throws your way, try and find a way to survive. My mother taught me that during her fight against cancer. She never gave up and lived her life to the fullest until the end.
