Interview with Elise Faber, author of Train Wreck

What can you tell us about your new release, Train Wreck?

I love Pepper, the heroine from Train Wreck. She's a bit like every woman out there—fun and sweet, spunky and beyond klutzy, but deep down she's also just a normal girl. Yes, disaster follows in her wake, but I think we all have sticky situations we get ourselves into and what's special about Pepper (besides the fact that she falls for her brother's six-pack-sporting-double-dimple-wearing-of-a-hottie friend) is that she grows from her failures. As a reader and just as a person in general, I really admire that.

Which book from your childhood or teenage years has stuck with you as an adult?

I have two books that really stuck with me. Growing up, I loved Dr. Seuss's Oh The Thinks You Can Think. I remember making up my own stories from all of those fantastical names and characters. It's been a favorite of mine to reintroduce to my kids now that they're old enough to use their imaginations and make up their own tales. The other book was Pride and Prejudice. It's probably super cliche, but I love the conflict between Darcy and Elizabeth and how, while their circumstances didn't make it easy on them, a lot of their struggle was of their own making. The unfurling of the tangle between them is something that really captivated me and influenced my writing.

Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest. What would you want to ask?

Ah! This is such a hard question. I've been lucky enough to meet some of my favorite authors (Julia Quinn, Jill Shalvis, Catherine Bybee, Rachel Van Dyken), but there are so many I'd love to sit and chat with. I think if pressed I'd pick Kristin Ashley, because I've just started reading her books and she seems like she would have some awesome stories to tell!!

What is a typical day like for you?

I get my kids (a 1st grader and preschooler) off to school then head home to my office to work. I mention office, because I finally have one! For the last four years, I've written at our coffee table (Eight books. At a table the size of a postage stamp). So the office is HUGE! About lunch time I take off my author hat and put back on my mom hat as I pick up kiddos then play taxi driver for whatever sports activity they have that afternoon. At night, I either squeeze in some more writing time or I play ice hockey with my hubs (Funny story is that like Pepper, my hubs was my brother's friend until we started playing on the same team together. Add in an intentionally cheesy pick up line that made me both giggle and roll my eyes and—poof!—fourteen years in the books).

What's in your Netflix queue?

I've been bingeing Harlots on Hulu. OMG it's so good. But nerdily enough, I don't have a ton of time for TV. Though that being said, I always watch Dancing with the Stars (confession: I'm an 80 year-old woman at heart) and somehow end up watching way too much Tiny House Hunters.

What's the best advice you've ever received?

That I'm worthy. I think it's totally normal for self-doubt to creep in from time to time, but when someone told me I was worthy of success, that I deserved love, it really resonated. Doesn't mean it always sticks and I sometimes have to remind myself. But the words are there for me to remember.

What scene in Train Wreck was your favorite to write?

There's a scene with a certain type of bedroom aid that had me laughing out loud and cringing with embarrassment because I could picture myself making the same mistake that Pepper did. Not that I have—*cough cough*—just that I could.

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

Look, I'll be honest. Some days it's really "Just Make it Through Today." Life is hard and kids are tiring and this writing thing can be tough. But not every day is like that, so most of the time I try and focus on enjoying every moment because even though kids are tiring, they get big so freaking fast.  And even though writing sometimes isn't all puppies and rainbows, it's something I love (and I feel lucky to be able to do).

Interview with Amelia Wilde, author of Ruthless Kiss

What can you tell us about your new release, Ruthless Kiss?

Ruthless Kiss has been one of my favorite books to write so far! I love the two main characters and how they're equally ruthless in getting what they want...and that causes such a spark between them.

Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask them?

I'd want to have Nora Roberts on my show and ask her how she comes up with all those ideas!

What's the last book you read?

The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

What's your favorite thing about writing?

That moment when I'm writing a story and the characters just come into focus, and everything after that seems so natural!

What's a typical day like for you?

I tend to get up a little later, write, organize details for future projects, write some more, spend time with my husband, and then write later at night!

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to write books!

What scene in Ruthless Kiss was your favorite to write?

All the sex scenes. They had such a fire between the two of them!

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

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. Ha! In all seriousness, I try to keep an attitude of always learning and improving. I want every book to be better than the last!

Interview with C. Hope Clark, author of Edisto Stranger

What can you tell us about your new release, Edisto Stranger?

The fourth in the Edisto Island Mysteries, Edisto Stranger was probably the most difficult of the books to write for me. Police Chief Callie Jean Morgan has experienced a lot of loss in coming to Edisto Beach and assuming the role of police chief. She almost sees herself as the buffer between crime and her beloved tourist community, but it's taking a toll. The weight of all she's experienced made it difficult for me to motivate her through the pain, which in essence made the story a better one through the struggle. Readers of the series have also been wanting to see more of her son, so this story brings the college kids forefront since I set it during spring break at the beach. Throw in her mentor disappearing, her son turning against her, and a big name in town wanting to get rid of her, she has a lot on her plate. She's a borderline alcoholic, and that plays into the story as well. The story is a true test of what Callie is made of. With the juxtaposition of a bucolic beach against death and crime, the book seems to work.

Who is your favorite fictional character from literature?

I love the stereotypical noir sleuth like Sam Spade, but in contemporary literature, I'm fondest of Pierce Quincy of Lisa Gardner's FBI Profiler Series. A close second is Jack Reacher of Lee Child's books. Having grown up military, I appreciate a lot of where Reacher is from, and I love his no nonsense methods. I get bored with soft books, in case that wasn't clear. LOL

What books are currently on your nightstand?

There are 25 on the nightstand and who knows how many on the Kindle. These are the highest on the list:

  • The Charm School by Nelson DeMille (currently reading)
  • Pork City by Howard Browne (love this old author)
  • Halo for Satan by Howard Browne
  • The Distant Echo by Val McDermid
  • Fractured by Karin Slaughter
  • A Lowcountry Heart by Pat Conroy
  • Try Fear by James Scott Bell
  • To Kill a Mockingbird by Lee Harper
  • Stories and Early Novels by Raymond Chandler

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

Nail Gaiman, Stephen King, Lisa Gardner - Not that I read much Gaiman or am intrigued with King, but I love what they stand for in the literary world and how they look at life. I've always wanted to meet Lisa Gardner who I hear is quite personable. So why not throw them together. I'd love to write as a compilation of the three.

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

Sometimes I think immortality because I have so many stories I want to write, but I also sense that would be a greedy choice I would live to regret. So, I think I would like the ability to understand and speak any language and love to better understand other cultures.

What's a typical day like for you?

I work at home, writing full-time, rising when I awaken, no alarm clock. With a place a ways out from town, I have a garden and chickens, so a fresh breakfast is a must for me. If I could eat one meal a day, it would be breakfast with eggs. I often eat it in front of a recorded mystery of some sort, whether movie or TV series. Then to work for 2-3 hours. Then the gym, running errands, or gardening unless I'm on deadline, then I take mini-breaks maybe walking the dogs, but keep on writing. An early dinner around five, then work. I often finish my day with a recorded mystery (currently watching the Justified series), and if I'm not sleepy, then back to work. I work seven days a week with my least work day being Saturday, and strive to get in 40-50 hours per week at the keyboard. My husband is my strongest ally. He fixes my breakfast, and he lets me read aloud to him to edit, which we often do on the back porch in the evening, overlooking the lake, sometimes with bourbon in hand and sharing a cigar. He's my sounding board when I'm plotting a new book and my technical adviser of sorts since he's a retired federal agent.

What scene in Edisto Stranger was your favorite to write?

The last two chapters which involved Stan, her mentor. I adore writing the last 3-4 chapters of a book. They are the easiest and most satisfying writing for me.

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

“Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” ~Howard Thurman

We procrastinate too much and expend too much energy trying to be who others want us to be.
