A woman whose destiny has been ordained from birth meets the man who has been prophesied for her–but there is more to him than meets the eye. With prophecies and legacies to fulfill, which way will she go: to a man who may be possibly her mate, or to a dark legacy that could take her life.
Thanks for being here, Taige. What or who inspired you to first start writing?
Writing has been in my blood and soul forever. For as long as I can remember I’ve always been an avid reader and a writer. When I was a child I used to make up my own stories and share them with my family and friends. As I got older I continued to write. When I went to college I started getting more information on actually writing professionally. I joined some writing organization and started to learn my craft.
If you could have supper with any of your characters, which one would you choose and where would you take them?
All of them otherwise they would be jealous. LOL. And we would have a pot luck dinner. Everyone bring a dish. It would be so we can eat like family. Since that is what I think of them as.
If someone gave you a minion tomorrow, what would be the first task you’d ask them to complete?
Create a duplicate of me so I can write even more. LOL.
E-books vs print books? E-readers vs. paper? Can’t we all just get along? What’s your preference?
Both. There are some books I already started buying in print so I keep them that way. The same for books that I have in ebook. And there are some wonderful books in ebook that aren’t in print. And I think we all should get along. A quality story is a story no matter the format.
If you were a superhero, what would your name be and what super powers would you possess?
The ability to create stories that made peoples soul resonate. And I would be called Rhythm Maker.
What project are you working on next?
Power of Attraction, book 1 in my Blackstone Haven series releases today. Indigo Rain, book 1 in my Phoenix Intelligence Agency will be released on March 14, 2011.
I just submitted a few days ago Power of Instinct book 2 in the Blackstone Haven series. Started working on 3rd book in the Blackstone Haven series. And 2nd book in the Phoenix Intelligence Agency. I’m working on some joint projects. There are a few surprises I have in store for the series. I’m also self editing some books in my series that I have at various publishers. It is going to be a sizzling and busy year. LOL!
As a reader, what are some of the things that draw you to an author?
They would invoke all the emotions in me. From happiness to tears. I love when a writer takes me to the high of happiness then the release of tears then back to that wonderful place of satisfaction of romance.
What favorite book of yours would you love to see be made into a movie? Why?
That is hard to choose.
In romance – Saving Grace by Julie Garwood
In Mystery – In Death series by JD Robb
In Paranormal - Vampire Huntress series by LA Banks
How excited do you get when you find out a new book by your favorite author is coming out soon? What do you do?
I get hyped. Do a dance and am at door when store opens or on website refreshing obsessively. LOL!
