So tell us about your
latest or upcoming release. What is this gem about?
A Treasured Lily is
about a headstrong girl who is willing to do whatever it takes to get what she
wants. She defies her parents and runs away. Somewhere along the way she
re-evaluates what she wants or more importantly who she wants in her life.
How often does your muse
distract you from day to day minutiae?
Not too often. What my
muse has more than anything is inconvenient timing. I've found myself driving
when an idea strikes. Not the best place to take notes on an impromptu idea.
Which is where voice recording comes in handy. Thank Goodness for smart phones.
If you could be any
paranormal creature what would you be?
A Dragon. It would come in handy when wanting to
easily get rid of some unwanted enemies. I stepped on someone? Oops, lol.
What do you do when
you’re not writing?
Depends on the day. I like to read. In fact, its my
favourite past time. I do watch an extensive list of tv shows. I like
entertainment and lots of it. Oh and I also do that pesky thing and work the
day job.
Are any of your
characters like you?
I don't think so. They
are a bit more sure of who they are and what they want. I wasn't always that way
when I was younger. I would have liked to have done things differently, better,
smarter... But who wouldn't? We've all taken paths we didn't think we would.
It's how I ended up writing to begin with.
Do you have a favorite
quote from any of your book(s)?
My books? No not really. It would be too hard to
pick just one.
If a movie or TV
production company chose to produce your books into a series of shows or
movies, who would your ideal cast be?
Ha! This one is easy as I've answered it in the
past. For this series of books anyway— Thor, Viscount Torrington would be Ian
Somerhalder (with long hair of course. Pia, Lady Torrington would be Emilie de
Raven (with blonde hair). Lilliana Marsden would be Phoebe Tonkin and Liam
Marsden would be Justin Hartley. Noah, the Duke of Huntly would be Jared
Padalecki and Lady Gemma Kemsley would be Elena Satine.

Lilliana needs one thing—freedom.
Randall's willing to assist her, for a fee. One kiss and he'll help her attain
her deepest desire.
What Lilliana Marsden wants—she gets. The
thing she believes she desires most is to live in Charleston on a plantation. Her
problem? Parents who refuse to listen to her. Lily decides to make her wishes
come true, and who better than a handsome American ship captain to help her.
Randall Collins finds Lilliana bewitching
and quickly falls under her spell. When she asks if he can take her with him on
his next voyage he finds himself agreeing—for a tiny fee. A kiss as payment and
he'll take her anywhere she wants.
As they set sail sparks fly between them.
Will Lily find something more desirable than owning a plantation and can Rand
convince her he's the better choice?
Teaser:
He wondered how far he could push her. The
decision to give into her and take her on his ship had already been made.
Lilliana just didn't know he already decided to let her come back to America
with him, but only because it worked in his own plans.
"What do I get for my trouble?" he
asked. "I'd be risking quite a lot to assist you with your scheme."
"What do you want? Money? I certainly can
afford to pay for my passage."
Rand's lips rose into a cocky smile. He desired
a lot from her, but at this point only one thing would do as payment. Would the
lovely lady be willing to give it to him? He had nothing to lose and only one
way to find out.
"How about a kiss?"
Lilliana looked stunned as she stared
unblinkingly at him, and then just as suddenly she stopped dancing right in the
middle of the dance floor. Her face flushed a pretty shade of pink as she began
to move to the music again with him in the lead.
"How forward of you. I'm not sure I like
your idea of compensation."
"It's a small thing, one little kiss. To be
given to me at a time of my choosing." He leaned in close to her and
whispered in her ear. "Are you afraid?"
Lilliana's breath sucked deep into her chest,
and he could feel her slowly exhale it in little pants. Her pulse raced on her
wrist beneath the palm of his hand and thrummed a small beat as he held it
firmly in his grasp. A blush formed on her cheeks turning them a nice shade of
pink, and her lips parted in anticipation. Her body's reactions suggested she
had an interest in kissing him also. Would she take the bait and give him what
he desired? He needed her to accept the proposal. Once she did he'd have her
sailing with him in a few short days.
"All right, you have a deal," she
agreed.
