Sylvie Fox discusses her new release, Ready For Her Cameo

By Sylvie Fox

One day an author emails me. She’s one of those friends with a million good ideas, so I tend to drop whatever I’m doing and listen.

In her email she proposes a great project. How about a mysterious cameo appearing in multiple books sparking off a romance?

The idea got under my skin and I ran with it. Even coming up with a little poem etched on the back of the jewelry that we could all use.

Love has this jet to which she clings

With ivory and circling locks about

Bone within silver to cast fear out

Love once found has need of no such thing

Set it free on a pair of dauntless wings

For reasons I can’t remember the project never got off the ground, but the idea kept bouncing around in my head popping up every so often. I even started writing the book, only to put it down and work on other more urgent projects.

Fast forward a few years and the #meetcute idea comes along and my first thought was I have to resurrect Sabrina and Henry because their meet cute is lovely. Like other books I’ve written, it all starts with a dog.

Sabrina is a jewelry designer who is on a path to either the greatest high or low of her career. She finds an antique cameo and her life changes in a way she never expected. I can’t wait for readers to discover the magic a cameo can bring. Also a big thanks to my friend who came up with the idea, I had a cameo made for her this summer and sent it as a surprise. I’ll be forever grateful.

Happily, I’m already working on the next book in the series: Cameo Appearance starring none other than Sabrina’s best friend Mona Love.

After you read it, be sure to contact me and let me know what you think. Ready for Her Cameo is available at all retailers

Interview with Willow Winters, author of Damaged

What can you tell us about your new release, Damaged?

Well, the first thing is that I wrote it with my heart and I wanted the pain that this couple goes through to be very present for the reader. My main early feedback is that their hearts ACHED for both of them and that Evan, my hero and the husband in this case, made them all sorts of wrecked. And it made me happy to hear that (I know I'm mean) because I cried a LOT writing this book.

What advice would you give your teenage self?

Oh gosh - steer clear of men named Adam. I made that mistake more than once. Sorry, Adams of the world!

Who is your favorite fictional character from literature?

Too hard to pick one! I have to say that I do love Edward Cullen (how can you not!). Although I saw the movies first, and I was actually rooting for Jacob! **runs and hides**

Which books would we be surprised to find on your shelves?

Hmmm Maybe Lipstick Jungle would be a little surprising? Or how about the Hobbit? Is that shocking?

If you could have dinner with anyone, alive or dead, who would you choose and why?

Probably my grandmother on my father's side. She passed in 2001 when I was only 12 so she missed a lot of my life. But the main reason I'd want to talk to her is because she always wanted to be an author. She had manuscripts in her bedroom. Obviously publishing back then wasn't as easy as it is now. So I'd love to hear her stories now, because back then I was too young for her to tell me them. I have a feeling my grandmom wrote romance.

What are you currently craving?

Salts - It's super late right now and my late night cravings are salty! Maybe Pretzels or dark chocolate with sea salt... and now I need to go for just a moment before I finish this interview.

What scene in Damaged was your favorite to write?

My favorite scene is when Kat caves in, but knows it's only for one night. It's hot and sexy, but full of emotion because she's made the final decision and just wants a memory to hold on to where she feels the love she knows they each have for each other, even though after that night, they'll never be together again. I got teary-eyed all over again. Don't worry, I believe everyone deserves a HEA. It's why I write. My lips are sealed after saying that!

Interview with Jamie McFarlane, author of On a Pale Ship

What can you tell us about your new release, On a Pale Ship?

On a Pale Ship came from an idea that took seed when I started thinking about how major injuries (amputations and the like) would be treated in the far future. For me – the future isn't just about how can we take what we have and make it better – it's more interesting if we look for that quantum leap forward. So in the case of limb replacement, what if the new limbs weren't just good substitutes, but what if they were substantially better – but only in some cases. Drop an evil genius on top of this and all of a sudden, we have genetic experimentation and super soldiers popping up everywhere.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

One of my favorite childhood memories was a conversation I had with my belated mother. I recall saying to her that I could write stories and that I even had some that I was thinking about. She challenged me to make good on that idea and I promised her (at the age of thirteen or so) that 'I sure would.' It was a promise I promptly forgot about as I went about the rest of my life. It wasn't until I was about to turn 50 that Amazon made independent writing a possibility and I decided it was time to make good on that promise. I like to think Mom knows I did.

What's the last book you read?

I've jumped hard into post-apocalyptic fiction. I think the last book I finished was 'Locker Nine' by Franklin Horton. Either that or 'Opus Odyssey' by Boyd Craven.

Who is your favorite fictional character from literature?

So many to choose from, but John Greystoke aka Tarzan.

What's a typical day like for you?

Writing days are reasonably well organized. I start right away in the morning when I wake up and get settled behind the computer before my wife wakes up. My goal is to get some writing in before she does, but I don't mind being distracted by business things, if they're pressing. After breakfast, I like to get right to writing, the goal being 2 scenes (about 2/3s of a chapter) by lunch with another scene after lunch. Once I get a chapter done in the day – I consider everything else to be gravy and I'll allow myself to be distracted by other issues.

If you could have dinner with anyone, alive or dead, who would you choose and why?

I think everyone would love to have dinner with a loved one that's passed so I'll mention it, but also let it rest. I think I'd like to spend time with Elon Musk. Here's a guy who thinks big and seems to be constrained by very little, including his imagination. As far as I can tell, he's going to drag us into the future, no matter how hard we resist.

What scene in On a Pale Ship was your favorite to write?

It's a small, mostly inconsequential scene about halfway in. There's an antihero named Jimmy Bang. He comes across as a cheesy, cardboard cutout cowboy. Hiding from responsibility, he's opened up a western melodrama, of which he's the star and does trick shooting. It was fun writing a mini-western in the middle of a space opera.

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

Everyone has a life story that's worth listening to.

Interview with Angela Blake, author of Falling for the Beast

What can you tell us about your new release, Falling for the Beast?

It's inspired from a love and obsession with Disney movies!

What or who inspired you to become an author?

I love entertaining people. And I do love the written word. It's also always been very therapeutic for me to write. Drains the stress right out of me.

You're hosting a literary dinner party. Which three writers are invited?

Amy Brent, Rye Hart, and J.K. Rowling.

Which books would we be surprised to find on your shelves?

Harry Potter (of course), the Twilight series and Dan Brown's entire collection.

What is a typical day like for you?

Get woken by my toddler climbing into my bed. Get up to my 1-year old. Get them sorted for the day with food and dressed. And if I don't have other plans, get straight on to the laptop in my pajamas and get to work! Hopefully if hubby is home that day (he works away), we can eat dinner together, put the kids to bed (eventually) then curl up with the sexiest new release romance from the Amazon Top 100, and fall asleep dreaming about my next characters.

BAM. You're a superhero. What's your superpower?

Reading minds!

What scene in Falling for the Beast was your favorite to write?

Definitely the introductory scene where we meet the Beast for the first time. I love trying to get the reader to see him through my eyes.

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

Always remember to stop and smell the roses.

Interview with Ilsa Madden-Mills, author of Spider

What can you tell us about your new release, Spider?

Spider is an emotional standalone about a British rock star and the woman he can’t forget.

What or who inspired you to become an author?

Great question. My biggest inspiration is simply the way I grew up in a house full of books from all types of authors, ranging from Stephen King, Barbara Cartland, Louis L’amour to F. Scott Fitzgerald.

In college, I dabbled in writing but never fully committed to it. It wouldn’t be until several years later, after teaching high school English and working briefly as a librarian, that I took the plunge and self-published my first book Very Bad Things.

You're hosting a literary dinner party. Which three writers are invited?

Stephen King because…hello…he’s a horror freak and I love his brain. He’s also an expert on the craft of writing, and I’d love to know how he overcomes writer’s block.

George R. R. Martin to ask him why he kills people I love. I wouldn’t ask him when the next book is coming out. Ha.

Since I love British Literature, my last guest would be William Shakespeare, the greatest playwright of all time—Romeo and Juliet, be still my heart. He has to show up in attire from his time period, of course, and I’d want to hear about his personal life (we don’t know much about him), his inspirations, his politics, his lovers, and the Globe Theatre.

What books are currently on your night stand?

Only one: Emotional Beats: How to Easily Convert your Writing into Palpable Feelings by Nicholas Rossis.

What is a typical day like for you?

A typical day for me is waking up and getting my kids off to school. After that, I throw myself into writing. On a productive day, I’ll get a run in at the park.

If you had an extra hour each day, how would you spend it?

Sleep. Duh.

What scene in Spider was your favorite to write?

I love the scene on the airplane. The heroine, Rose, is terrified of flying and the plane has horrible turbulence. Spider, who’s sitting next to her yet doesn’t know her, comforts her by distracting her with crazy questions—and a kiss. He’s a flawed hero who makes a lot of mistakes, but at his core, he’s a beautiful soul.

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

“You’re always one decision away from a totally different life…” Not sure who said that but it reminds me that ultimately we are responsible for our own happiness.
