Talking with the Authors:

Thanks for stopping by to talk a little about your writing! Let's jump right in. When did you begin writing and why?
Thanks for having me here! I started three years ago when a friend dared me to write.

Do you have a favorite genre? Is it the same genre you prefer to write?
I love erotic romance, the hotter the better. It is the same as what I write as well.

Do certain themes and ideas tend to capture your writer’s imagination and fascinate you?
I go with whatever clicks in my head. It could be something on TV or someone could mention something in passing.

How do you balance long-term thinking vs. being nimble in today's market?
I’m one of those writers that has to write what my characters tell me. I would love to be one of those writers that can tailor their books to the market, but my muse doesn’t work that way.

How do you find readers in today's market?
Facebook mainly, but I’m trying to branch out more. Get in touch with readers who don’t go on social media.

Do you come up with the hook first, or do you create characters first and then dig through until you find a hook? Characters come first. It will start with a scene that keeps playing in my head. Like earworm.

What's on the top of your TBR pile right now? I want to read J.F. Silver’s Mr. and Mrs. Average Joe.

Tell me a little about the characters in Kassie’s Surrender.
Kassie always wanted to go to Australia and New Zealand. When she enters a contest with Other World Travel, she couldn’t believe her luck. She meets former Hollywood movie star, Hailey Stewart who’d disappeared years earlier under mysterious circumstances.
What Kassie doesn’t know is that, the cruise is really a transport to the unknown dimension known as Landia and that she is never going back home.

Where’s the story set? How much influence did the setting have on the atmosphere/characters/development of the story?
It is set in the fictional dimension of Landia. Earth has several dimensions, each one unique in its own way.  Landia is a dominant/submissive society. When I started to write this, it was going to be a FF contemporary story, but when I started going over it, it suddenly became a vamp.
I thought of Landia when I saw something that there once was an Atlantis-like island near New Zealand.

If you had to write your memoir in five words, what would you write?
Always Listen to your mother.  (She’d always told me I should be writing but never listened.

How often does your muse distract you from day to day minutiae?
My muse likes to wake me up at 3am.

What do readers have to look forward to in the future from you?
I have Zoe’s Mates coming out soon, just waiting on edits.  Zoe’s Mates was in the Coming in Hot boxed set, and was originally titled Sexual Healing.
I’ve rewritten some of it, and added more scenes.
I also am working on the next in my Scandalous Fairy Tales series called Grandma’s Cottage, a retelling of Red Riding Hood.

About the Authors: 

Candi Fox:

Candi Fox, co-host of the wildly popular radio show Candi and Company with over 900 thousand listeners began her venture in the paranormal at the tender age of two, when she witnessed her first apparition. From that moment on the paranormal seemed to follow her. No matter where she moved, the house she lived in the house next door, or the house down the street always seemed to be haunted. 
She often wondered if she drew the spirits to her. Little did she know that she was indeed a magnet of sorts. It wasn't until she was in her late twenties that she found people who could not only explain her gifts, but would also help her hone them. Armed with this new knowledge she began to openly explore hauntings and other paranormal phenomena. 
Growing up in Indiana lent her the opportunity to explore many famous haunted places including the Hannah House, which was once part of the Underground Railroad. A little over two years ago she moved to Tulsa, OK and has began to explore the haunted landscape in a new state. 
Candi lives with her husband, and furry children in Tulsa. She is passionate about the occult, saving and rehabilitating horses, horseback riding, magic, all things mystical and has her Reiki Mastery. 
She uses her own paranormal experiences as well as her own life traumas to write from a grounded and realistic perspective about subjects that are hard to talk about and even harder to feel for yourself.
