Please
describe your novel twitter style 140 characters or less.
Protector of the
Poryria, Trace Stuart is called to defend his race or embrace death.
Defending humans is not part of the plan but he cannot stop himself
from saving Kira
(I cheated. I
deleted a comma and period at the end. lol)
What
is the one thing you wish you knew before you tried to get published?
So much I wish I knew…First, thing
though is writing is not as easy as it looks. Nope. Not at all. It’s
not just about characters and plots, it’s sooooooo much more.
What
to you is the best part of being a writer and what is the part you
wouldn’t mind giving up?
The best part is having a reader tell
you that your characters tugged at their heart strings, and then ask
when your next book is coming out. I heart them so.
Giving up? I guess that would be coming
out of my comfort zone. I like interacting with readers on-line, but
when I’m in front of a reader I’m a little shy, but I’m working
on that.
What
city would you love to set a story in but the right one hasn’t come
along yet?
I always wanted to set my stories in
Florida on the beach, and I finally got to do that with newest
contemporary erotic romance novella, Diamonds. So, what hasn’t
come along yet? That would be Ireland. I love Ireland, and one day
I’ll go there.
Vampires,
Shifters, Zombies, Angels - who wins the final ultimate battle?
I love them all. But I would have to
say it would go in order like this (sorry, Trace) Angels, Vampires,
Shifters, and Zombies. If the story had them all in there, the more
the better.
If
you could witness any historical event past, present or future what
would it be and why?
That’s a hard question. Hmm. I
would’ve liked to have seen the faces of those men when Joan of Arc
kicked their butts. That’ll teach them not to mess with a woman on
a mission. lol
Anything
else you would like to share today?
Yes. Thanks for having me today. ;- )
It’s been fun!

loves. Will Kira be able to reach past her own pain to pull them both

Excerpt
from Not An Angel
by
Dawn Chartier
As
he measured her, his gaze warmed the consuming chill that had invaded
her body. She glanced down, holding the material out. Nothing she
could ever afford. Standing next to him in his stunning black suit,
gave her more confidence than if she wore plain clothing.
“I
wouldn’t have picked it out for myself, but you have good taste.”
“I
know.” Trace’s gaze traveled down her torso, to her exposed toes
and slowly up to her face. “And you take my breath away.” He
kissed the inside of her wrist.
Heat
shot up her inner arm overpowering any nervousness she may have felt
earlier. She leaned into him and whispered, “You breathe?”
Trace
half smiled. “Sometimes.”
She
blinked. “Oh.” That meant sometimes he didn’t breathe either.
Trace
stiffened, then glanced toward the entrance flanked with four massive
columns. It took a moment before she heard footsteps in the foyer.
Five men entered the parlor. All dressed similar to Trace, except
their cold penetrating eyes made her worry. Scared was more like it.
One man strode toward her, eyes narrowed, mouth pulled down in a
frown. She swallowed, then took a deep breath and squared her
shoulders. They will not get to me. I will be strong.
“He
won’t hurt you. Will you, Dev?” Trace stepped forward and crossed
his arms.
Dev
smirked and stared through his long dark lashes. “Depends.”
An
eerie rumble vibrated the room. Kira advanced toward Trace. The sound
of a wild cat drifted in the air. She tilted her head, glanced at
Trace and realized the noise came from him.
“Boys.
Boys. Boys. Dev won’t touch her, but I might.” A slender brunette
appeared out of thin air and stood directly in front of the other
men. Oh hell.
About
the Author:
Dawn
Chartier never knew she wanted to be a writer while growing up.
Sure her parents owned a book shop, and she was surrounded by
bookworms, but she wasn’t one of “those” writers who started
early. No, Dawn was inspired by strange events in her life, one
was a bitch named, Katrina. Yes, that hur-ricane. But a few months
before the storm, Dawn read an article on Marie Laveau in the New
Orleans local newspaper and it sparked an idea. She began researching
the voodoo priestess, and then Katrina hit. Out of destruction, ideas
formed, characters spoke and plots twisted. One thing lead to another
and an author was born. (Must have been something in the air, because
a few authors were born out of Katrina’s wrath.)
Dawn
Chartier sold her first paranormal romance book, (Not An Angel) to
The Wild Rose Press, and her second book, a contemporary erotic
romance (Diamonds) to Siren BookStrand. Dawn is a member of RWA,
Sola-Writers, FF&P and Savvy Authors. You can find her chatting
on Twitter and Facebook when she’s not buried inside of a book or
writing her next one.
Dawn
lives near New Orleans with her husband, two daughters, two golden
retrievers, and plenty of wildlife.
