Interview with Author Mary Auclair, Author of Falling for the Grumpy Orc

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Falling For The Grumpy Orc?

I wanted to write a cozy, feel-good small-town romance, so this is how the concept for Saltford Bay was born. I knew I loved orcs, so I made my first MMC in this series a sexy and grumpy orc contractor!

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Falling For The Grumpy Orc, what would they be?

Flowers, by Miley Cyrus.

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

I read across the board, but these days I’m really into romantic comedy, small-town, and cozy, feel-good stories. I read a lot of contemporary romance as well, even though I don’t write in that genre.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Lucy Score, everything about Lucy Score!

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

It’s always the meet-cute! I love a good meet-cute!

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

I am a mood writer, so I light up a little candle, put on some ambient music, and get my favorite drink before sitting down to write. There are also always multiple dogs sleeping in my office, plus the occasional judgmental cat. The cat usually steals the dog’s bed.

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

I guess it would be to do what makes you happiest!

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

Romance stories are at the heart of human civilization. We’re wired to read them, spread them, and live them!
