Author Interview-

What inspired you to write Crossover?

I didn’t really have an inspiration. I sort of woke up one day and decided I was going to write a story. I might have been having a midlife crisis at the time… lol

When or at what age did you know you wanted to be a writer?

Honestly, I didn’t. Writing was always a passion of mine, but I never thought I’d one day be able to do it as a career. I’d started a lot of stories. Some of them I finished, some of them I didn’t. When I finished writing Crossover, I just had the urge to send it to a friend of mine. Tara read it and told me I HAD to send it in to a publisher. So I did. When Baico phoned me and told me they wanted to publish, I was in shock. It was the most surreal thing ever. Actually, since that day, it’s been an amazing ride.

What is the earliest age you remember reading your first book?

I think I was 5 or 6. I can’t remember the book, but we were still living in Ottawa which means it was around that time.

What genre of books do you enjoy reading?

I read everything. I love war stories, mysteries, romance, epic fantasy, paranormal, horror, suspense, historical, non-fiction…


What is your favorite book?

My all time favorite book so far is a tie between the Hobbit by JRR Tolkien and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and why?

Ooooh! That’s a toughie. I guess I’ll have to go with Steven King just because I’ve read more of his books than anyone else’s.


If you could travel back in time here on earth to any place or time. Where would you go?

I’d love to go to the British Isles back in the 1700. 

 

Why?

I know there was a lot of war there at the time, but I think the history and background is amazing and it would be great to live some of it first hand.

When writing a book do you find that writing comes easy for you or is it a difficult task?

For the most part it comes easy. My newest series is giving me a bit of a headache at the moment just because there are so many stories involved. But no worries. It will be worth it.

Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?

I have a Yorkie named Lady Freya. She’s actually due to have puppies on June 25th.

Then there’s Mister Calvin. He’s my big white and grey cat.

And we have a fish tank. The shark is Butthead, the Ciclids are Elsa, Anna, and Olaf. The Plecko’s name is Plecko. And the lobster is Hook. :D


What is your "to die for", favorite food/foods to eat?

Steak Neptune. It’s amazing. It’s a steak with a hollandaise sauce and shrimp, crab, lobster, and asparagus on it.

Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author?

Write what you love, don’t take bad reviews to heart, and spend the money on a good editor. Trust me. It will be worth it. :)


Thanks for having me!
Stay safe!

Excerpt:

Brooke POV~

"Can I ask you something?" he began nervously.

"Sure, I guess." I looked over and could tell something was bothering him.

"You don't seem to have a problem with Chris putting his hands all over you. Do you like him or something? I mean, it's okay if you do; I just need to know so I can back off, if that's what you want." His voice hitched a little as he finished that last sentence. He was jealous. I needed to clear up any confusion he had right away.

"No Sebastian, I'm not interested in Chris, not like that. He's a nice guy, but I think of him more like a big brother. I don't know, something clicked between us right away, and I could tell we would get along." I cocked my head and met his eyes. "So it bothers you when he shows me affection like that?"

He shrugged, looking away embarrassed, before returning his gaze to mine. This time there was no uncertainty in his eyes. "I just needed to know how you felt about him before I took this any further."

"Where do you see this going?"

"I don't know exactly," he moved in front of me, placing a hand on either side of my head, staring deeply into my eyes. "All I know is that it's taking every ounce of restraint I have not to kiss you right now."

"You want to kiss me," I gasped.

"More than anything."

"Then what's stopping you?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.

"Because I'm afraid if I start I'll never be able to stop," he replied hoarsely.

"Then don't stop."

He raised a hand to cup my face; while the other brushed back the hair from my eyes. I tilted my head, bringing my lips up to his, and our mouths met gingerly, skin brushing lightly together. A warm sensation spread throughout my body, and I shivered reflexively at his touch. A smile spread over his face, and I felt his lips turn up slightly, hearing a soft chuckle escape his throat. I inched toward him, curling a hand around the back of his neck, drawing him even closer. This time, I took the lead, planting both lips firmly against his, covering them completely. Both of his hands pressed gently against the side of each cheek, holding me in place, and he worked his lips slowly over mine, taking time to draw me in. The viper bites rubbed over my bottom lip, and a low moan escaped my throat, causing my lips to part, allowing his tongue to graze lightly across the front of my teeth. His mouth consumed me; breathing ceased to exist, and I didn't care. If I were to perish now, here in his arms, with his lips against mine, I know my life would be complete. In my line of work, I have tasted the finest foods and sampled the finest wines, but I can honestly say that I have never savored anything as sweet and satisfying as Sebastian Miles. I pulled back, and a smile slowly spread over both of our flushed faces.

"You're cute when you blush too," I murmured in his ear, as he leaned back against the sofa, pulling me with him. He groaned inwardly as I hovered over him, my hair spilling across his face. He tucked the errant strands behind my ear, and in the process his thumb brushed over my cheekbone.

"You are so beautiful, Brooke," he whispered. I closed my eyes, leaning in to kiss him again. "If I had known that giving you a compliment would have garnered a kiss, I would have been tossing them out all week," he chuckled softly.

"Just shut up and kiss me again."

About the Author

Rhonda dreamed of being an author for more than thirty years, writing her first novella at the age of fifteen. She has written two novels since that have yet to be published. Across the Miles was the first work she felt compelled to share with the rest of the book loving world. While her first two novels were adult romance, this is her first attempt at reaching out to the New Adult genre. She lives in Michigan, with her husband of twenty-two years, and their two adult children. They share their home with dog, Baily, two cats named Molly and Walter, a crested gecko named Izzy, and a yard full of chickens. When not writing or reading, you will find her in the kitchen, preparing homemade soups, marinara sauce, and meatballs, just to name a few. Her love of bacon is unnatural, and her obsession with technology borders on the insane. She is a natural-born hugger, and if you meet she will channel her character Sebastian Miles, and you will most likely be the latest recipient of a bone crushing hug (don't worry, no bones are actually crushed during this process).

Blog Tour: What Janie Wants by Rhenna Morgan @RhennaMorgan @StarAnge13 #Giveaway

What Janie Wants

by: Rhenna Morgan

Publication Date: June 22, 2015

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Follow The Tour

Synopsis:

Clothing optional…
Janie McAlister should have known better than to trust her quirky sister's taste in resorts. Instead of thatched-roof huts and designer pools overlooking the ocean, she's landed at the one seventies throwback in the Riviera Maya with an open door nudity policy. No way is she going au naturale in public. And she's sure not entertaining the advances of the bold young man with the delicious body daring her to do exactly that…and so much more.
Well, hello, Ms. McAlister…
Zade Painel's a man on a mission-grab some much needed R&R at Gypsy Cove, and figure out how to reclaim his boudoir photography business. He never thought the answer would come in the form of a curvy, forty-year-old redhead and an accidental knee to the 'nads, but Janie proves to be a force of nature with a penchant for fixing things. She's also sexy as hell. One way or another, he's going to help her see just that. And if he plays his cards right, it'll be a heavenly hands-on approach that lasts way past seven days in paradise.

Excerpt:

Told in Janie's Point of View:

Janie froze. Every muscle locked up and her breath hitched. The only thing actively working was her heart, which after its initial stumble, had taken off at a gallop.

"…make damned sure the only thing you can do is feel."

So tempting. So terribly tempting.

The shadows around him accented the sharp angles of his jaw and nose, and his voice dropped to a grumble. "Talk to me, Janie."

And tell him what? That she wanted what he wanted as bad as he did, but she was terrified to give the green light? That she wasn't sure she could take the disappointment in his eyes if things got serious and he saw what a quality sundress could hide? "What do you want to know?"

"Tell me what you want."

Touch. Passion. Contact. Skin. It all rushed in at once, clogging her throat and seizing her thoughts.

"One word." His hand tightened on his lap, not so subtly gripping what looked to be a powerful erection. "One thing at a time."

She swallowed and tried to catch her breath. The request leapt to her tongue, ready for launch. Damn it to hell, she was a living, breathing human, not some freakish deviant. Why couldn't she say what she wanted? Own it. It was one night. One chance she may never get again. "A kiss."

He stared at her. Quiet.

Her lungs burned, the air so thick she could barely breathe.

He stood and padded to her side of the bed.

With every step, her heartbeat surged a notch. Her thighs pressed so tight together it was a wonder the bed didn't shake.

He unhooked his watch. One of those chunky ones her son had begged her for two Christmas' ago. Somehow the silver looked right on Zade. Manly. Effortless and stylish without being overblown.

It clunked against the nightstand as he sat it aside.

He'd rolled his sleeves up, tanned skin and prominent veins peeking from beneath the crisp blue fabric. The top two buttons of his shirt were open, leaving his neck on display. And his eyes, bright blue and bold as the hottest flame, framed by his loose blond bangs.

He scanned her body stretched out on the bed, put a knee to the mattress, and straddled her thighs. Rooting his hands on either side of her head, he held his body over hers, yet not touching. "A kiss." He dipped closer. Slow, inhaling deep. "Want to point out, you didn't put any restrictions on your request."

He traced the line of her lips with his own, close enough to tickle and tease, but not nearly enough to give her what she craved. "You didn't say how…" His warm breath fluttered against her face. "…or where." He licked her lower lip and lifted his gaze to hers. "I'll take that to mean I get to taste all of you."

Meet the Author

Rhenna Morgan writes for the same reason she reads-to escape reality. Yes, her life rocks-two beautiful little girls, a great husband, a steady job, and the kind of friends that would take you out back if you hurt her. But, like most women, she's got obligations stacked tight from dusk to dawn. So, when the world gets her down, she slips into something…less realistic. Romance is a must. So is a steamy romp (or four). Nothing thrills her more than the fantasy of new, exciting worlds, strong, intuitive men, and the sigh of, "Oh if only that could happen to me." So, if you're picking up one of her books, expect portals into alternate realms and men who'll fight to keep the women they want. Romantic escape for the women who need it.
