Welcome to my Reading Nook,Rhonda Laurel. Please make yourself at home and let
my cabana boys/girls get you a drink.
Comfortable? Wonderful. Now
let’s get started.
What is your writing
process? Do you outline, fly by the seat of your pants or a combination of
both?
For years I tried the seat of your pants
method and it worked but it took a while.
The last novella I wrote I created an outline and I was able to more a
bit quicker without losing momentum.
Going forward I will do a combination of both methods.
What did you do before you
were a writer? Do you write full time?
I worked various jobs before deciding to
write on a regular basis. I currently
write full time.
If you were going to cast
the hero(s) of your book, what actor would get the part?
If were casting the hero for my novella Ebb
Tide, I would definitely cast Shemar Moore in the role.
I know you're not supposed
to show favoritism but who's been your favorite character to write?
My favorite character so far to write has
been Alejandro, who is featured in a novel I wrote and have submitted to a
publisher. He is a complicated man and
he has several layers to his psyche. And
he’s absolutely gorgeous. Lol.
Do you have a favorite TV
show you can't miss?
NCIS! I love LeRoy Jethro Gibbs!
If you could date any
character from any book, who would it be and why-no it doesn't have to be from
your books?
I would date my
character Alejandro. He is featured in a
WIP I am submitting for publication. He
is an alpha male type who knows what he wants.
Please share with us some
juicy details about your latest release.
My latest release
is a short story titled Masquerade in the Etopia Press anthology Halloween Heat
VI. My character Sydney finds herself
in an interesting position at a mysterious Halloween costume party.
What was your inspiration
behind this book?
This
is my first venture into erotic romance.
I wanted to expand my mind and see what I could come up with.
What is in your To Read Pile that you are dying to start or upcoming
release you can’t wait for?
I
don’t have a specific book but I am looking for a good suspense author to read.
Do you listen
to music while you write? If so what are your favorites Artists and
or albums?
I
love to create soundtracks for all my stories.
Sting inspires me when I am in a spiritual/philosophical mood. I also
like to listen to jazz while writing.
If
you could go any place in the world and to any time period, what place time
would you choose to visit?
I
would go back to the 80s. It was a
highly creative time in the music industry and I get a lot of my inspiration
from artists who were really big during that time.
What
is your favorite super power and why do you want it?
I would love to
read minds.
If you could write a warning label for
yourself as a person or an author, what would it say?
Caution: Genre may change at any moment.
Do you have any guilty pleasures?
I love watching Family Guy and the ID
channel. Lol.
Teaser into Masquerade/Halloween Heat Anthology VI
“Your greatest desires
beckon…”
Excerpt
When Sydney Porter opened
the elegant, gold-embossed invitation, she couldn’t believe her eyes. The
Illuminatus Masquerade Ball held every year on Halloween was an exclusive
event. So exclusive, that the attendees were not willing to discuss it
afterward. She’d known a few friends who’d received invitations in the past and
she’d waited with bated breath the next day for juicy details but was always
told the same rehearsed statement. Hushed tales of decadent aphrodisiac foods,
décor that could have been handpicked by Aphrodite herself, and elaborate
costumes that were made from the finest fabrics was the only information she
could get out of them. Nor would they divulge how they got the invitation.
