UPDATED 7/3/17-I did this interview back in 2015 but I am reposting it because Carian has a new series out, The Devils Wolves Books.  I have read both of these books and loved them.  The recent book Tied will have your heart racing and breaking from the beginning to end.  You can’t not love two damaged people trying to find love with a dog and pet fox. Both books are free on Kindle Unlimited or well worth the $3.99.

Tied (Devils Wolves Book 2)
Torn (Devils Wolves Book 1) 

Ash’s & Ember’s is another ROCK series that I can’t get enough of, I was seriously counting down the days for the latest book Lukas to go live. Let me tell you I NEVER do that because I normally have too many books to read.

Carian got me with the first book Storm and now I am an addict. If you like long haired rockers with tattoo’s than this extraordinary series is for you. I seriously can’t get enough of these bad boys with the big hearts!!

The latest book is Lukas who is one sweet, damaged and amazing tattooed man. Lukas is a tattoo artist and Vandals younger brother who falls for Ivy a 36 year old single mom looking to restart her life with a sexy tattoo.   This is a older women & younger man story which is one of my favorite genres.  Please don’t anyone use the term cougar, I hate it! Don’t make me pick a favorite in this series because they all rock but if I am pushed I think it would be Lukas.

Book 1 is Storm he gets stuck in his truck with Evie during a blizzard which is one hot encounter. Add his Husky dog and I was hooked. Book 2 is Vandal who is one hot sexy rock star and is the dangerous one of the group. I won’t spoil it, Vandal’s story is heart breaking but so worth the journey.   Get both Storm and Vandal now they are on SALE for 99 cents!

1. Carian has taken a few minutes of her time to answer my five burning questions. Check out who she’d kill, marry and screw.
I’d marry Lukas, screw Storm and kill Vandal (only if I had to 🙁  I’d have to screw Vandal before I killed him tho)

2. Do you remember the first romance book you ever read? Can you tell me about it?
I think it was Hummingbird by LaVyrle Spencer and it was about a bad guy (who wasn’t that bad!) that a single woman had to take care of when he got hurt. Their bickering was really fun and sexy. It has a sort of love triangle too which I loved.

3. What type of stories would you like to write but haven’t yet? Menage, BDSM or a sexless romance. The sexless romance should come with a warning. Don’t you think?
I really want to write a sweet new adult romance (and yes it should come with a warning if it doesn’t have a lot of sex!  LOL). I’m also working on a dark romance that I’m excited about.

4. What’s your favorite thing to do when you aren’t writing or reading.
Drink coffee and spend time with my hubby and pets.

5. If you could have a rock star dinner party and invite anyone to it, who would it be? Give me your top five.
DJ Ashba, Nikki Sixx, Marilyn Manson, Aaron Lewis and Lana Del Rey

6. For bonus points, what’s your favorite swear word?
Fuckhole

I read this review of Tempt the Boss from Aestas and I was sold! Once I finished reading this one I added the rest of Natasha’s catalog to my TBR. Check out Imperfect Love: Cheeky its about a British bad boy and a woman whose had some really bad luck in love. What girl can pass up an accent.

You can check out the rest of her books here. Enjoy!

1.Let’s start off with Kill, Marry or Screw? Gideon Cross, Kellan Kyle or Jess?
So this might be a little easy for me since I don’t really know Kellan Kyle so I chop him off by killing him. Screw Gideon Cross, I mean if I have to. and then I would Marry Jessie Ward.

2. Do you remember the first romance book you ever read? Can you tell me about it?  EDITOR NOTE: I think mine was Bitch by Jackie Collins and I was about 10 or 11.
The first romance book I read I think I was fifteen maybe sixteen and it was one of those harlequin teen books. I wish I remembered the name of it. It was about a girl who spent the summer with her grandparents. After that I read all the Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts books that you can possibly read. I have all he handbook covers of Danielle’s in my garage. Jackie Collins was another one I devoured.

I picked up reading again when Twilight came out and then of course I fell on the Fifty Shades wagon..

3. What type of stories would you like to write but haven’t yet? Menage, BDSM or a sexless romance. The sexless romance should come with a warning. Don’t you think?
Hmmm. I’m not sure about this one. I have to say that I’ve written exactly what I’m meant to write.

4.What’s your favorite thing to do when you aren’t writing or reading?
Spend time with my family. Go to dinner with friends. Just being away from social media. Sometimes you need to disconnect for everyone’s sake

5. If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone to it, who would it be?  Celebrities, book boyfriends, intellectuals or anyone. 
Oprah Winfrey, Adele, Jodi Ellen Malpas, Aurora Rose Reynolds (She needs to calm me down), Ellen, Can You imagine this table. It would be Ahhhmazing!

6.For bonus points, what’s your favorite swear word?
Fuck. I say it so often I don’t even notice I’m saying it.

Enter here to win here!

Alex is lost and alone, with only his dog, Stan for company. He doesn’t expect kindness from anyone anymore, but sometimes hope can be found in the most unlikely places. He has a second chance at happiness, but there’s a dark side to Alex, and a reason that more than one person has called him crazy.

Single mother Dawn is doing just fine. Except that her ex- is a pain in the a**, her sister isn’t speaking to her, and her love life is on the endangered list.

At least her job as a veterinarian is going well. Until a crazy-looking guy arrives at her office accompanied by an aging dog with toothache. Or maybe Alex Winters isn’t so crazy after all, just … different.

I discovered Melissa Foster when I found one of her books and the hero worked in the video games industry.   My day job is in video game development so I wanted to check it out.  She nailed it! The book is first in Remington Series, Game of Love (Love in Bloom: The Remingtons, Book One) and I was hooked on her writing. Melissa is one of those prolific authors that I will probably spend the rest of my life trying to read all her books. Check out her Amazon page to look at her extensive library of books.

As I try to catch up on her back catalog I will recommend two of her latest books Truly, Madly, Whiskey (Swoony Heartfelt Romance) and Tru Blue (Single Father story). These two books are stand alone stories and are worth your 1-click. I couldn’t put either of them down and are definitely worth adding your to your TBR.

Also check out Melissa’s other writing as Addison Cole here.  Sign up for her newsletter its got some great giveaways and special content.

Melissa took a few minutes out to answer my five burning questions. Check out her answers below.

1. Kill, Marry or Screw? Gideon Cross, Kellan Kyle or Rex (or more)?

Kill: I can’t answer because that evil eye will get me. Bwahahahaha

Marry: Rex Braden from Destined for Love, because who doesn’t want a hot, possessive cowboy taking care of them–in the bedroom and out?

Screw: I’m a total book boyfriend whore. I want ALL the Bad Boys After Dark. The reasons are obvious.

2. Do you remember the first romance book you ever read? Can you tell me about it?  EDITORS NOTE: I think mine was Bitch by Jackie Collins and I was about 10 or 11. 

Oh gosh, no. Even if I could remember the title, I’d never remember the storyline well enough because I’ve read so many since.

3. What type of stories would you like to write but haven’t yet? Menage, BDSM or a sexless romance. The sexless romance should come with a warning. Don’t you think? 
Having written more than 60 books, there isn’t much I haven’t written yet. But a menage is coming up in Breaking Brandon in my Harborside Nights series. I’m excited to write it, but more because I’ll get to know more about Brandon than for the menage. Sex is ALWAYS fun to write, regardless of if it’s a one-night stand, an ongoing love affair, or friends who fall into bed with each other on a weekly basis. Bring it on!

4. What’s your favorite thing to do when you aren’t writing or reading? 

When I’m not reading or writing I’m usually on Cape Cod at the beach…plotting. 🙂

5. If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone to it, who would it be? Celebrities, book boyfriends, intellectuals or anyone. Name five people. 

Five people I’d invite to a dinner party? Pleeeeaassseee can they each bring a plus one? lol. Okay, here goes. Chris Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman. No explanation necessary. Drew Barrymore so I have someone to drool and laugh with. Bear Whiskey from Truly, Madly, Whiskey, because the guy’s got it all going on, and Blake Carter, my first Love in Bloom boyfriend from Sisters in Love. I’ll always have a hot spot for the naughty playboy who fell hard for his woman (sorry Danica, but tonight he’s mine!).

6. For bonus points, what’s your favorite swear word?

Definitely the F-bomb 🙂 What can I say? I grew up with six brothers.

I must confess I am sucker for a sexy cover and I got sucked into Fox (Bodhi Beach Book 1) from the cover but 1-clicked it once I read the description. Come on you know you do it too!!

Who couldn’t 1-click this book after reading this description. “Sophie Fordham never thought much about motherhood until her body forced her to. With the onset of early menopause, she knows if she wants to have a baby, it’s now or never. So what’s a single, financially-strapped girl to do? Go with what you know, of course.”

After reading Fox, I added SM Lumetta other book You Are Here to my TBR.  I love to shine a light on new writers so I hope you take the time to check out her stories.

I grateful to SM for taking the time out of her busy writing schedule to answer my five burning questions. Find out her answers and then 1-click on Fox today!

1. Let’s start off with Kill, Marry or Screw? Gideon Cross, Kellan Kyle or Fox?

That’s a tough one. You know I have to marry FOX — I mean, have you seen him!?!? Plus he has the sense of humor I adore, and is a truly genuine, sweet guy.

Screw? Of these choices I’m going with the rock star, Kellan Kyle. If I was adding my own, I’d pick Randy Ballistic (Pucked Over by Helena Hunting). Talk about stamina.

Kill? Sorry, Gideon. Maybe a f*ck to the death? That’d be OK with me. ;P

2. Do you remember the first romance book you ever read? Can you tell me about it? I think mine was Bitch by Jackie Collins and I was about 10 or 11. 

I do, actually! It was The Promise by Danielle Steel. I bought it at a garage sale when I was around 11 or so. 

3. What type of stories would you like to write but haven’t yet? Menage, BDSM or a sexless romance. The sexless romance should come with a warning. Don’t you think? 

I have a paranormal romance (possible series) in the works, and I would love to write an erotica/BDSM or menage romance. I have one BDSM story in mind, but I haven’t had the chance to work on it yet! Sexless romance should come with a blue-balls warning. 😉

4. What’s your favorite thing to do when you aren’t writing or reading? 

Sleep. LOL It’s been a while, but I knit. And I’m a big film buff, so I like to catch up on movies & the like. If I had a pool (temp-controlled and indoor/outdoor, because if I’m dreaming…), I would swim every day. I’d also be a lot slimmer in that case LOL.

5. If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone to it, who would it be? Celebrities, book boyfriends, intellectuals or anyone. Name five people. 

A bit random, but:

Jim Morrison, Melissa McCarthy, Beckett Taylor (Debra Anastasia’s Poughkeepsie series), Willy Wonka (because WHY NOT!?), Edgar Allen Poe

6. For bonus points, what’s your favorite swear word? Fuck. In all its glorious forms. 😀

I stumbled across this book The Coppersmith Farmhouse (Jamison Valley Series Book 1) by Devney Perry from one of Aestas great reviews. I’d been up for reading a swoon worthy story about an Alpha rancher and this one didn’t disappoint. This book wasn’t your typical rancher story and this new author Devney Perry has a great new point of view to this genre.  If you are a fan of Kristen Ashley or Sawyer Bennett Alpha’s you will love this book.

Read it today and pre-order her next book The Clover Chapel (Jamison Valley Series Book 2). I’ve already got my copy ordered.

Devney took a few minutes out form her busy schedule of writing and being a wife and mom to answer my five burning questions.

1. Kill, Marry or Screw? Gideon Cross, Kellan Kyle or Jess?
Kill: Jess. I love reading and writing alpha heroes, but in real life I’d probably want to throw things at him on a regular basis.

Marry: Jess. The incredible sweetness hidden behind his grouchy exterior is my favorite thing about him. He’s definitely husband material.

Screw: Jess. All. Night. Long.

2.Do you remember the first romance book you ever read? Can you tell me about it?
Tami Hoag’s Dark Paradise. It wasn’t the first romance I’d ever read but definitely the most memorable book from my youth. I read it my junior year in high school and it was the first book I’d read that included sex. I loved it. As a good girl, it was my dirty little secret. That was, until I made the monumental mistake of taking it in for a one-on-one book report with my fifty-something-year-old male English teacher. He had asked us to bring in our most recent read so I plucked Dark Paradise out of my backpack. I remember thinking, “He’s just going to thumb through and make me tell him about certain parts. What are the chances he picks a sex scene? There aren’t that many.” Oh, young and foolish Devney. I blathered on about the suspense and love story, meanwhile, his random thumbing found every sex scene in the book. Finally, after saying, “Hmm. There is a lot of sex in here.” he dismissed me so I could scurry back to my desk with beat-red cheeks. I still re-read Dark Paradise from time to time, and I always smile when I think about that book report.

3. What type of stories would you like to write but haven’t yet? Menage, BDSM or a sexless romance.
I love the contemporary romance genre so it would definitely be a stretch for me to stray. My grandma is begging for a sexless romance with cleaner language. ** Shakes head and laughs ** Maybe one of these days she’ll get her wish. It would definitely come with a warning to my current readers, or maybe it would be for Grandma’s eyes only.

4.What’s your favorite thing to do when you aren’t writing or reading?
I go on Netflix and HBO binges. I am always the last person to watch a TV show because I like to wait until every episode is out. I just finished Downton Abbey and before that, Sons of Anarchy and True Blood.

5. If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone to it, who would it be? The cast of Friends, but I would require they be in character.

6. For bonus points, what’s your favorite swear word?
Fuck. Though, I’m really trying to curb my usage of the glorious word. My oldest is at that age when he repeats everything I say to his teachers. I’m expecting a parent/teacher conference request any day now for the inevitable language discussion.

Amazon Author page 

I might be a bit late to the Tara Sivec party but I brought booze so deal with it!  She’s one of those authors who never disappoints whether you want a funny book like  Jed had to Die, sexy or just a an ugly cry she always delivers.

I confess that when I want a funny but sexy read I go to Tara’s books.  Her latest holiday series starts with a Christmas story which had me hooked The Stocking Was Hung (The Holidays #1). Trust me you’ll want to read what outrageous Aunt Bobbie is up to as the year goes by. She just published her Easter installment The Bunny is Coming of Noel and Sam’s story so go back and start and Christmas.

If you aren’t up for some seasonal reading check out her latest book Below Deck or the Story of Us. If you want something slightly more serious read Fisher’s Light and bring the tissues.

Tara’s library of books leaves you with a little something for any type of story you might fancy. Check out her Amazon author page for a list of any of her books.

I am grateful that Tara took a few minutes out of her busy writing schedule to answer my five burning questions.  Her story about meeting Jared Leto is worth your time.

1.    Let’s start off with Kill, Marry or Screw? Gideon Cross, Kellan Kyle or lead in your latest book? 
Kill: Christian Grey. I know, I know, don’t hate me!  I mean, I love the guy. And I ADORE the books and the movies. But I’m not exactly the type of person who takes orders very well. The first time he told me what to do, I’d probably punch him in the face.

Marry: Declan McGillis from my book, Below Deck. He’s hot. And dreamy. And I love him.

Screw: Jude Soren from Finding Mr. Wrong by A.M. Madden and Joanne Schwehm. He’s my most recent book boyfriend and WOW is he hot. Hot, hot, hot, I’ll take two and can you please supersize that order for me? 

2.   Do you remember the first romance book you ever read? Can you tell me about it?
My Sweet Audrina by V.C. Andrews. That was actually my first “naughty” book, if you want to call it that! That is one of the only books I’ve ever read more than once. I think I read it at least fifteen times when I was a teenager.

3.   What type of stories would you like to write but haven’t yet? Menage, Paranormal or a sexless romance.
I’ve actually tackled pretty much every genre I’ve wanted to at this point. Romantic Comedy, Romantic Suspense, New Adult Drama, Contemporary Romance and Psychological Thriller. I have thoughts every now and then about writing a Paranormal Romance, but then I read one and think “OMG, I could never do this. It’s too hard!” LOL!  I draw a lot from my own personal experiences when I write, and I’ve never had a paranormal experience, so I don’t know if I could do it. But then again, I wrote a Psychological Thriller and never killed anyone. Allegedly.

4.   You have several series of books, how do you keep track of your characters?
I don’t LOL! There are a lot of times I’ll see a book quote on Facebook and go “Oh, that’s a good one. I like that.” Then I’ll click on the book link and see it’s from one of my books. I don’t even remember if I ate breakfast this morning. Foreget about remembering something I wrote five years ago! I actually do have characters sheets I fill out for a lot of my characters, especially those I know will be in more than one book. It has everything from the character’s physical attributes to their favorite song and favorite movie. But a lot of times, I forget to fill them out and just jot down a few notes, and then have to reread previous books to remember how old someone was or what color hair they have. I really need a new brain.

5.   If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone to it, who would it be?  Celebrities, rock stars, book boyfriends, intellectuals or anyone.  Name five people.

1.Kelley Johnson from the Bravo reality TV show, Below Deck. I have a new book by the same name, and he was my muse while writing it. He’s also responded to a few of my Tweets and Instagram posts about the book, and now I’m just waiting for him to file a restraining order against me. It should be any day now.

2. Jared Leto. I am completely obsessed with his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars. I have two books titled after two of his songs (A Beautiful Lie & Closer to the Edge) and I have the lyrics from Closer to the Edge tattooed on my ribs (I will never forget. I will never regret. I will live my life.). I met him once at a backstage meet-and-greet at his concert in Toronto a few years ago and I was a bumbling idiot who forgot what words were. I handed him a copy of A Beautiful Lie to keep, and had this huge speech planned, where I’d tell him how much he inspires me, blah blah blah. I just threw the book down on the table and said “I wrote that”, and then started giggling and walked away. I want a do-over.  (SHE CARRIED THE WATERMELON, WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE.” 

3. Ryan Gosling. Because…Ryan Gosling. He’s pretty. I don’t think I need another reason.

4. All of my author friends. I’m combining this into one big group because there are too many to list. I’ve cut way back on my travel in the last year and for the next year going forward, and I miss my friends! I want to sit down with everyone I love and drink and eat and laugh.

5. Anna Kendrick. I just adore her. She’s like a tiny little wood sprite I could fit in my pocket, and pull out whenever I needed a laugh or someone to help me come up with an awesome, sarcastic comment.

6. For bonus points, what’s your favorite swear word?
FUCK!  Of course! It’s a noun, a verb, an adjective, an adverb…it’s everything all at once!

I can’t lie I fell in love with the cover of Vicious (Sinners of Saint) before I read the description. Come on, you did too!! You’ll find him hard to love at first but once you do you’ll fall hard forever. When Defy (Sinners of Saint) was released shortly after Vicious I didn’t even have to read the description or look at the cover. I was 1-click addicted to this series!

These were the first two books of L.J. Shen’s I’ve read but they won’t be my last. Check out her Amazon page to see her entire library of books. She should be your 1-click list too.

I am grateful she took time to answer my five burning questions before she got back to writing those stories of some of my favorite brooding males. Enjoy!

1. Let’s start off with Kill, Marry or Screw? Gideon Cross, Kellan Kyle or Vicious?
Kill Gideon, screw Vicious, marry Kellan. I really love Kellan. At the same time, I have a soft spot for Vicious (gee, I wonder why.)

2. Do you remember the first romance book you ever read? Can you tell me about it?  EDITORS NOTE: I think mine was Bitch by Jackie Collins and I was about 10 or 11.
Yes. It was The Promise by Danielle Steel. I was a book junkie from a very young age but I remember putting the book down every night (I kind of stole it from my mom’s shelf. I think I was ten at the time, maybe slightly older), and thinking: I’ve never felt this way. Ever. Not just about a book, but in general. The euphoria it stirred in me was foreign and magical. And until this way, I try to read 2-3 non-romance books a month, but I always go back to the contemporary romance to get my fix. Always.

3. What type of stories would you like to write but haven’t yet? Menage, BDSM or a sexless romance. The sexless romance should come with a warning. Don’t you think?
Out of the three, I’d probably write a sexless romance. If I ever get to a point I write a sexless romance, I would probably throw a warning in, even though I find it ironic (in every other industry in the world, they warn you when there *is* sex involved.)

4.Tell us a little about your writing process and where you find inspiration?
 I find inspiration in absolutely everything, and I don’t have a process. It sounds like a mess, but I really don’t. Every single book I’ve written was different. With one, it took me three weeks and the whole book was done. With another – eight months. With one, I thought, on the third draft, that it is ready for publication. With another – I got to an eigth draft and still wasn’t happy with it. I wish I had a better system. I feel like that way I could have probably published more books a year. But the truth is whenever I write a book, I’m pretty much its bitch. It dictates my schedule and not the other way around.

5. If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone to it, who would it be?  Celebrities, book boyfriends, intellectuals or anyone.  Name five people.
God, that’s a toughie. Okay, dead or alive, right? Out of the top of my head – Charles Bukowski, J.K. Rowling, Kristen Wiig (what? I love her!), Conor McGregor, Jared Trent (from the Fall Away series by Penelope Douglas).

6. For bonus points, what’s your favorite swear word?
FUCK! I try to tone the word down because I use it way too often in every day life too, but I just can’t. It’s a wonderful word. Really is.

Lately, I’ve been in the mood for funny and steamy versus tearful and sexy so when I read the description for this Clam Jam and I was in!  After reading Clam Jam if you want to go back to a little more angst driven romance check out RC’s other book Out of Love.  Two words:  Navy SEAL!

“Clam Jam”
Definition: the female equivalent of a cock block.
Example: You’re chatting with a guy you’re interested in and your friend comes along and lays claim to him.

Thank you RC for taking time out of your busy writing schedule to answer my five burning questions.

1. Let’s start off with Kill, Marry or Screw? Gideon Cross, Kellan Kyle or Ry?
I have to admit that I haven’t read either series so I’d have to use the men from my own for this. This is a really tough question…Kill-Lawson Briggs from Laws of Attraction, Marry-Mac from Wildest Dream, Screw-Foster Kavanaugh from Out of Love

2. Do you remember the first romance book you ever read? Can you tell me about it?  EDITORS NOTE: I think mine was Bitch by Jackie Collins and I was about 10 or 11.
I couldn’t tell you the title but I know it was a Harlequin Teen Romance novel. And I was hooked from that point on.

3.What type of stories would you like to write but haven’t yet? Menage, BDSM or a sexless romance. The sexless romance should come with a warning. Don’t you think?
I haven’t yet written a full-fledged romantic suspense and I would love to do so at some point. And I truly don’t know that I could ever write a sexless romance. I’m far too pervy for that. ;)

4.Tell us a little about your writing process and where you find inspiration?
I find inspiration everywhere in daily life, quite honestly. My writing process begins with an outline (which I usually veer off from either around the mid-point or the end because I get a better idea along the way) and then I go from there. I write while my little one goes to half-day Pre-K so I plug my earbuds into my laptop, turn on music, and type away for those three hours.

5. If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone to it, who would it be?  Celebrities, book boyfriends, intellectuals or anyone.  Name five people.
I’d invite Tim Tebow, JJ Watt, Paul Rudd, my husband, and Jimmy Fallon. That list is in no particular order, of course. 😉

USA TODAY bestselling author Renée Carlino is known for her beautifully unique love stories that you should be reading.   I first became aware of Rene with the rave reviews for Sweet Thing and then Swear on your Life. The rave reviews weren’t wrong, these books were short listed on many must read books from last year. The story of Swear on Your Life is about a young woman who finds out her childhood friend has written a best selling novel all about her. 1-click!

Her next book Before We Were Strangers is a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. 1-click!

Her latest book Lucian Divine is a unique story of a flawed Angel who falls for Evelyn. His name is Lucian and he’s a 2,000 year-old guardian angel. His sudden presence in her life is both good—he’s brilliant, witty, and warm—and bad and hot as hell. See I said one of kind stories.

Check out her answers for my 5 burning questions and her awesome range of books. Enjoy!

Here’s the questions:

1. Let’s start off with Kill, Marry or Screw? Gideon Cross, Kellan Kyle or Lucian? 
Kill Gideon, screw Kellan and Marry Lucian 🙂

2. Do you remember the first romance book you ever read? Can you tell me about it?  NOTE: I think mine was Bitch by Jackie Collins and I was about 10 or 11.
I can’t remember the first romance novel I read. I read a lot of YA, but maybe the first book to really pull me in was OUTLANDER By Diana Gabaldon. 

3. What type of stories would you like to write but haven’t yet? Menage, BDSM or a sexless romance. The sexless romance should come with a warning. Don’t you think?
Menage sounds fun, though my books are pretty mild in that department, but you never know. I could spice things up…

4. Your new book asks you to believe in angels, what was your inspiration for the book? My inspiration for the book was just pure curiosity. I wondered if I could make people fall in love with a flawed angel. 

5. If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone to it, who would it be?  Celebrities, book boyfriends, intellectuals or anyone.  Name five people. |
Jeff Buckley, Martin Luther King Jr., Stephen King, Julia Child and Louis CK. 

6. For bonus points, what’s your favorite swear word?
Any variation of Fuck. Hands down.
