What can you tell us about your new release, Malak Desert Child?
Malak desert Child is a story of North Africa. The main protagonist is a small girl with lots of courage. Poverty and a criminal parent can break the spirit of some children or bring out the strength in others. Malak is a prodigy in her own way, and her faith has much to do with it. Her destiny and origins are mysteries entwined in the recent and ancient history of the North of Africa and the Sahara Desert. The Algerian war of independence and subsequent civil war also play an important part in the unwinding of the tale. The book is written to interest and excite, wonderful personalities and places people its pages, and unexpected happenings , such as a high speed race at sea and through the Straits Of Gibraltar, grip your imagination.
What or who inspired you to become an author?
I´ve always read books since childhood, and often scribbled. I never kept anything till my youngest daughter one day exclaimed” Papa, don´t throw anything away , keep everything.” That, and having recovered from a bad illness, I went to study film-making, a lifetime ambition. I found I was good at writing scripts and it somehow got waylaid and Eureka! My first book appeared as of it´s own volition.
What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?
Absalom Absalom, I love William Faulkner. The God Of Small Things. Miss Smillas feeling for snow..Tender is the night,Scott Fitzgerald..Hemingway 49 short stories. Actually I could go on and on I have so many top books.
Say you’re the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask?
William Faulkner undoubtedly, it would be fascinating just asking him a few leading and warm friendly questions to inspire him to talk, to open up, as to who he was and how he thought and felt. One does glean lots from his many books, but there would be much more to learn from a chat.
What's your favorite thing about writing?
I love everything about writing. I suppose it´s common to all authors, that we actually become a part of the stories we are writing. I particularly like when the book starts writing itself, and when I read my previous night´s work, don´t recognize it as being my own, a bit like the story of the old cobbler and the elves.
What is a typical day like for you?
A typical day would be: getting up at eight ,30 minutes stretching, bath, medicines and ready for the world. I would have breakfast in a bread shop cum café downstairs, hot coffee and a huge well toasted slice of country bread with garlic and fresh tomato rubbed in and doused with olive oil. I would then walk around town, to the bank, shops, everywhere. Midday up to my country house to water or whatever needs doing, play with Mr Harry, the dog. Lunch at a vegan restaurant. In the afternoon, back in my town flat, after a short siesta I would write, edit, and work generally until evening when a long walk to the next town would be on the agenda. I would visit my good friend Mr Rashid and we would watch the sea and talk and laugh about everything and greet friends arriving at the restaurant.
What scene in Malak Desert Child was your favorite to write?
There are various, however the favorite would be when the family are first led into the Bedouin tent where the Caliph reclines surrounded by his warriors, and meets Malak.
Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?
Not really, I just try to be a good person in an active way, to be humble and always work towards strengthening my faith in God.

What can you tell us about your new release, Boss Daddy?
Boss Daddy is a second chance romance that ticks a lot of different boxes. It deals with young pregnancy, single parenthood, the sacrifices parents make for their children, reaching for your dreams, fighting for what you want, childhood illness and the stress it has on parents, and just a good old-fashioned happy ending!
What or who inspired you to become an author?
I LOVE reading and I have a very active imagination. I have always written poetry and little short stories so I thought, why the heck not try a book? I don’t have kids yet so I figured it was now or never. Plus my amazing husband is great encouragement.
What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?
Oh geez, that’s a tough one. I’ve read so many and I love all different genres. Let’s see….
The First Assassin
Harry Potter
Kiss the Girls
The Bone Collector
Montana Sky
Say you’re the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask?
That’s an easy one. James Patterson. I would ask him how he keeps his ideas so fresh after so many books.
What's your favorite thing about writing?
I love escaping into my own imagination and living out things I would probably never do in real life
What is a typical day like for you?
I get up super early (7 am) and head into work. I put in eight hours at the pharmacy then come home, have dinner with my husband and write until I go to bed around 11:30 pm.
What scene in Boss Daddy was your favorite to write?
I loved writing the scene where Colt finds out he’s a match for Mason and gets to tell Missy. It was a super emotional scene.
Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?
Don’t quit. Whatever you do, just don’t quit. If you fall down, get up. If you fail, try again. Anything worth having is worth working for.

What books are currently on your night stand?
Kelly St. Clare’s Immortal Plunder and Magic Sight, a book I co-wrote with Leia Stone, to prepare to write the next book in the series.
What advice would you give your teenage self?
Follow your dreams from the start. You deserve it.
If you had an extra hour each day, how would you spend it?
Uh, I’d read more.
What makes your world go round? Why does it bring you joy?
My family. My daughters are magical.
What scene in Siren Magic was your favorite to write?
I love writing quirky characters with fiery personalities. In Siren Magic, I loved writing the scene where the fairies take baths in teacups, all the while sassing their hosts.

Small places. Huge hearts. Dark secrets.
That's the soul of a small town called Heart's Edge in my latest romance thriller, No Perfect Hero. I wanted to do something that'd test the hell out of the headstrong, wounded, over-the-top alpha male heroes I love. When I'm in charge of the storytelling, these boys can't catch a break.
Poor Warren. Our star hero came home to settle old scores in a family tragedy, only to smack right into Little Miss Mustang and her ten-year-old niece, Tara. Warren, snarlypants that he is, doesn't take kindly to strangers up in his business – especially when those strangers are in his house without explanation.
It's all a big mistake. A mix up. That's how it begins.
Our heroine, Haley, would slap the dreaded m-word on her entire life so far: an engagement ruined by her ex, a pink slip at work, and lackluster art career. She's left Seattle with her tail between her legs with only little Tara for comfort. So when the car starts sputtering in a little off-the-map mountain town, it seems like it can't do worse.
But actually...Heart's Edge isn't half bad. It's homey, beautiful, and offers second chance at life like candy. Too bad Haley doesn't get the big picture until she crashes into Warren Ford.
She doesn't expect a huge, angry mountain man in her face.
He doesn't expect a feisty, gorgeous young woman who gives it right back.
They don't expect to feel anything like the inferno that catches as two lives tangle up with the lore, the secrets, and the drama of this town.
Can you tell I love small town lovin'? There are so many romance authors who've done amazing things with the trope. Now it's my turn.
No Perfect Hero wouldn't be a book by yours truly if it wasn't twisted. There's unfinished business, there's loss, there's legends that will test the hearts of these characters to the breaking point. There's love scenes so hot you might want to make sure you're stocked up on ice. There's laughs with quirky side characters. More than anything, there's a romance here between Warren and Haley that made me truly proud to type THE END.
In Heart's Edge, it's tradition for two lovers to make a promise when they throw fresh flowers over the scenic cliff. It's almost like a ritual so two battered hearts can let go and love with everything. But what would be the fun without making those hearts dance through the flames a little first?
Warren and Hay, you're on. And I hope you'll accept my invite to Heart's Edge, dear reader, where the heroes are ginormous and the craziest, best kind of love lives in a small place with its secrets.
Nicole Snow is the author of the new book No Perfect Hero.
