Hello, Kristal! Welcome to Writing in the Modern Age! It’s such a pleasure to have you.
Can you tell us a little bit about your books?
We have lots of books out.
Fighting For Love is my erotica novel. There is Norse Gods: A Lovers War,
which is out and is a themed Norse series. I have a sweet romance called
Calling You Home out too.
When did they come out?
Calling You Home: June 29th
Fighting For Love: July 8th
Where can we get them?
Amazon, Smashwords and Barnes & Noble.
Is there anything that
prompted your books? Something that inspired you?
Joe always inspires me. These came
from books and my life.
So, when did you know you
wanted to write? Or has it always been a pastime of yours?
I started writing when I was eight years
old. I didn't do it full time or take it seriously until 2010 when I got hospitalised for three months
the year before.
Do you have any favorite authors?
Danielle Zwissler and L. Anne
Carrington.
Do you write in a specific place? Time of
day?
I write all the time.
Are there any words you'd like to impart
to fellow writers? Any advice?
Just keep at it and find a publisher
who gets your vision and understands you.
Here is the blurb for Calling You Home.
Jason finds out that Mary, the woman he let go all those
years ago has returned. Now they have a second chance at the future they have
always dreamed of, but she carried a secret away when she left. Now that she’s
back her secrets have come home to roost. How will Jason react when he finds
out what she has been hiding?
Here is an excerpt.
“Where
better to tell me your good news?” He asked and he watched her tears coat her
eyes. Her eyes looked like a deer’s caught in the headlights of an oncoming
car. He felt his own throat tighten with
his own emotions carving a path through him. She wanted to hear this house
might be their house. He’d built this place for her.
“Didn't you build this for us, for
our future together?” Her emotions tore through her throat and got caught up in
the air. Her sob seemed to cling to the end of her voice and her little chin
trembled ever so slightly. He sensed her
heart breaking and he wanted to wrap his arms around her. Hold her in the
pouring rain and speak the words she wanted more than her dreams. Give her the
life she thought she deserved and wanted.
“I built this to get away from my father. So one day I can bring my wife home and start
a real family here.” He lied, however the
words he used he knew sounded similar if not
words he used he knew sounded similar if not
the same as the ones she wanted to hear. Only
he left
out his desire for the woman he wanted
to settle down with to be her. He saw the anger
and rejection enter her face
faster than the
tornados hitting the plains. He felt himself
struggle to not
give in. He silently asked God to
protect him.
To help him through this.
“You’re an asshole Jason,” she
screeched. He let her
believe he’d planned on a
making a life with someone else. He at no time
planned a life with anyone else
expect her, but
Drew was right. She
needed this opportunity
to pursue her dreams and he wasn’t about to be
the reason
she didn’t go to college. He knew if
God wanted her to understand He'd give him
another chance to do just that later on in life.
He shoved his hands into his
jeans to stop
himself from reaching out and drawing her into
his arms.
“I'm sorry May, I can't believe we’re
doing this. What do
you expect me to say?”
Jason replied and
he forced himself to lean
against the pillar of the porch. He sucked his
breath
deep within his chest and his eyes
glanced at her face.
“I'm your girlfriend Jason. I'm the one,
who you’re meant
to be planning your life
with.” Her
heavy country accent filtered
through her words and he loved the sound of
her
voice. The way she rolled her tongue over
his name and made it sound like it belonged in
her mouth. Like
he belonged in her bed and
her heart.
Here is the blurb for Waking Up His Wife.
Strong, muscled, chiseled, good looks and a
gentleman to boot. This is what Anna's friends thought she married, however
this wasn't what she had caught. They thought she caught herself a fighter.
Instead she caught herself trouble on two legs.
Here is an excerpt.
The sudden
movement of her burying into the thick duvets, pillows and sheets made pain
explode through the front of her head.
Pain lashed out at the backs of her eyes making tears form just behind
her eyelids, they threatened to spill over.
The heat of her tears clashed against the cool air of the room, leaving
her eyes protesting against it. The hot burn of them was enough to send her
cold hands flying to them, in desperate hope of cooling them.
The
room started to spin and aches started to take over the rest of her body. Like
a marching of soldiers, with a steady, determined pace. The aches came in a
series of waves making her feel dizzy and sick. Almost as if she found herself
in the grips of the rough, wild and explosive Irish Sea. With its venom for
ships and those who tried to conquer it on a daily basis. She felt like death
and it wasn't a feeling she'd ever been to use to. It wasn’t a feeling she wanted to get use to
or ever have to deal with again.
She
barely ever drank; she was more use to being on ‘drunk patrol’ rather being
drunk herself. Without opening her eyes,
she knew she faced down a killer of a hangover.
She knew this wasn't going to be easily fixed by a simple aspirin and
fry up. She searched blindly for shades
and hoped none of her clients were going to be too loud today.
Her
hand searched the bedside table and she found nothing. She tried to remember
where she left them and felt sure they'd been there. She wasn't going to open her
eyes to see where they were. She wanted to stay in the darkness as long as
possible.
“Aww.”
She groaned and she replaced her head deeper into the embrace of her nest of
pillows hoping relief might come out of more sleep. It offered her a welcoming
embrace at the edges of her mind. She
hoped it might take her over soon as another wave of sickness finished beating
at her.
She'd
never felt this sick on boats crossing some of the worst oceans or in planes
which felt like they might fall out of the sky.
“How's
the hang over?” Came a voice which
caused her head to jerk up and brought her eyes shooting open into the bright
morning light of her hotel room. A
series of chain reactions shot off around her body like a pin ball in a pin
ball machine. Its reactions caused her
to struggle to not whimper aloud against the pain that flooded her. She instantly regretted her sudden movements.
The
entire room spun around her, her head screamed at her to lay it back down on
the safety of the pillow. She felt last
night’s aftermath of alcohol race up her throat into her mouth and she forced
herself to swallowed back. The burn of
it made her to cough against its alien presence within her throat. Her body shivered against the sudden cooler
air it met. It made the hangover punish her even more with its tight grip.
Her
mind got stuck on something far scarier.
She registered her client standing there in front of her. Her mind became distracted by the sight of
him there to take in the pain lashing at the back of her eyes. More pain
whipped itself up some frosting, in the tender spot in her forehead. Her eyes
feel like there were about to pop out of her sockets.
When the pain eased a bit more she
focused on the man standing in front of her. She hoped it wasn't her client,
but one of the other agents who might have put her to bed, after getting
herself wrecked at the party. Instead when her fuzzy eyes focused she saw her
worst nightmare. Her client standing
right in front of her, butt-naked and dripping wet.
