Please
describe your novel twitter style 140 characters or less.
Oh, good
one! Okay here’s SEAL OF SURRENDER twitter-style:
An immortal warrior is offered the chance at
permanent retirement on his ranch if he can protect a woman who holds the
genetic key to War.
What
is the one thing you wish you knew before you tried to get published?
Besides the
hurry up and waiting? Probably just how fast everything moves once you sign
that contract. My head spins sometimes thinking about it.
What
to you is the best part of being a writer and what is the part you wouldnt mind
giving up?
The best
part of being a writer is getting to make things up for a living. How great is
that?
The
downside is… Hmmm. There really isn’t any downside for me.
What
city would you love to set a story in but the right one hasnt come along yet?
Monte
Carlo.
Vampires,
Shifters, Zombies, Angels - who wins the final ultimate battle?
Angels,
definitely. With maybe a few sexy shifters thrown in for good measure.
If
you could witness any historical event past, present or future what would it be
and why?
Wow, great
question! Don’t know how historical it would be, but I would have loved to
spend some time with Jane Austen while she was writing Pride & Prejudice.
If
you were going to cowrite a new book, who would you want to write it with?
My crit
partners. They’re awesome writers and soooo funny too!
What
books are currently on your nightstand?
Right now
I’m reading: Save The Cat by Blake Snyder, Phantom Evil by Heather Graham, and
Catching Stardust by Heather Thurmeier
What
is the best thing you have done in the name of research?
I watched
the Matrix movies over and over to study their weapons and how the fight scenes
were constructed. A full afternoon of looking at Keenu Reeves buff little bod
was quite fun…
When
writing what is your favorite part of the story?
I really
enjoy writing the action scenes. It’s like creating a mini-movie inside your
own head. And dialogue. There’s nothing better than sparkling conversation
between your characters.
Anything
else you would like to share today?
Just thanks
so much for having me on your blog today, Donna! Great fun to be here!

Book Description:
Love, like War, will always find a way…
War has shaped every aspect of Irena Soldan’s
life—her childhood, her work, her DNA. Unaware she is the genetic host of the
second Seal of the Apocalypse, Irena battles for those who cannot fight for
themselves. As a top human-rights operative for The Omega Consortium, her
company provides both the financial backing required to undertake her task and
a charismatic, publicity-loving boss to promote her cause. Life proceeds on
plan for Irena until a mysterious, sexy stranger arrives claiming to be her
guardian and Irena’s path takes a sudden, inauspicious turn for both the erotic
and the lethal.
Chago has always been the quiet one amongst his
warrior Scion brethren—the brooding, Spanish combat expert with a hidden soft
side. A member of Divinity’s covert
special forces, he’s protected humanity for more than a millennium. Still, his
greatest joy comes not from the battlefield, but from tending the cattle herd
on his remote Montana ranch.
Irena’s new assignment takes her straight to the
heart of a bloody civil conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa and Chago’s mission
demands he follow. Expecting a seething cauldron of female whoop-ass, he
instead discovers a harbinger of peace amidst a world of ever-increasing
violence. The explosively tense situation is further magnified by the cunning
Omega Consortium leader, his ambiguous personal agenda, and an ancient foe
whose audacious rise to power threatens the world’s very existence.
Despite the cataclysmic circumstances, an
undeniable attraction ignites between Chago and Irena. Together, they must
unravel the ancient puzzle of the Seals and discover her employer’s ulterior
plans before they both become casualties of War. Soon, both are forced to
choose between a past riddled with old torments or risk everything they
treasure on a love capable of defeating evil incarnate.
