I got tagged by Zenobia
Renquist to do a blog hop post for The Next Big Thing. So this week, instead of a Sunday Snippet, I'm participating in the blog hop. I'll do a snippet of the new book next Sunday!
Here goes...
1. What is the title of your latest
book?
Devil Under the Mistletoe – Book 1
Holidays Are Hell series – Release Date 12/01/12
2. Where did the idea come from for
the book?
Anybody who has survived a Christmas
or Thanksgiving get together with family knows that Holidays are Hell. LOL So,
when I was looking for an idea for a Christmas story, of course I thought of
devils and other inhabitants of Hell. Who wouldn't And, since more people seem
to die around the holidays, I came up with the idea of the Perdition Guides.
Think of these sexy devils as escorts for Hell. Trust me, once the ladies start
reading about these guides, they’ll be fighting to go South when they die
rather than reaching for the clouds!
3. What genre does your book fall
under?
Erotic Paranormal
4. Which actors would you choose to
play your characters in a movie rendition?
Christian Bale would be perfect to
play the part of Damian and I’d love to have Molly Quinn from Castle play
Amanda.
5. What is the book blurb for your
book?
Perdition guide Damian is supposed to escort
sexy Amanda to Hell. But he’d much rather keep her.
Damian Noire is a Perdition Guide.
He escorts people who die to their rightful spot in Hell. Business always seems
to pick up around the Holidays and this Christmas is no exception. Damian’s
assignment is to bring a beautiful young woman to Hell to stand before the
judgment assembly, and then take her to her assigned circle of Hell. It sounds
simple. But it’s about to become the hardest assignment he’s ever performed.
Amanda Wright might have been
unjustly judged. She might not belong in Hell at all. Problem is, Damian really
kind of likes her. He especially likes enjoying her lush, willing body under
the mistletoe. If he gets her the judgment she truly deserves, he’s probably
going to lose her forever. But if he doesn't help her, an innocent may spend
eternity in Hell. It appears to be a lose/lose situation on all fronts. Proving
once again that holidays truly are hell!
6. How long did it take you to write
the first draft of your manuscript?
It takes me two to four weeks to write a
story of this length, depending on what else I have going on at the time. #:0)
7. What other books would you
compare this story to within your genre?
It’s hard to compare this to another
story because I've never read one with this premise. I’m sure there’s something
out there, but I haven’t read it. If anybody knows of one leave me a comment and let me know the author/title. I'll go check it out!
8. Who or What inspired you to write
this book?
I really wanted to come up with a
series wrapped around holidays. Once I came up with the series premise the
story line for the first book came pretty easily.
9. What else about your book might
pique the reader’s interest?
The world I created in Hell is really
interesting. It consists of several layers, based on how terrible your crimes
are. Hell has three suns (that’s why it’s so hot) and a boiling sea with black
sand. Fortunately the boiling sea is really just the comfortably warm sea…think
hot tub. And there are portals all over for really quick travel through Hell.
But most importantly, if you end up going to Hell, you’re gonna get escorted
there by a really sexy devil. That’s not all bad right? However, if your crimes
are bad you’re not gonna like where you end up. Just sayin’!
10. And the Next Best Thing?
Now I’m supposed to send you to 5

gleefully) Okay, my victims…er…selections are:
