My guest today is Heather Kuehl, a wonderful paranormal romance author with loads of great books under her belt. Her latest release, Love and Consequences - A White Wolf Story, is arguably her best book yet.
Which of your books is your personal
favorite and why?
- Dream Lover is my
favorite book. Not only did it take only four days to write, I also adore
the characters within it. Here’s the book blurb for Dream Lover: Denna Rainerd
has dreamed about Warren Connelly for the past ten years, their
relationship in the dream world hot and passionate. Pity he isn't
real...or is he? Warren wishes that Denna was in his real world, but a
human in his world would be a liability. He's a Hunter shapeshifter; sworn
to protect his world from the darkest of creatures while he's focused on
revenge for the death of his brother. Their worlds collide when Warren
saves Denna's life, setting up a chain of events that will change their
lives forever. Will Denna be able to accept Warren's supernatural secrets?

What kind of writing rituals do you
have?
- Not as many as I wish I had, LoL. I write
when the Muse strikes. If she’s not interested then I’ll end up staring
at a blank MS Word doc for several hours and get nothing completed.
·
What process do you use to develop
your characters?
- Once I start writing, they kind of develop
themselves. As the story progresses and they have to overcome ordeal
after ordeal the character learns and grows. For example, I feel that
Sarah Vargas (from Fade to Black, Malevolent
Dead, and Blood Moon) has a mind of her
own. If I’m writing, and it goes a way that she doesn’t like, then
writer’s block will kick in until I back track and fix the issue to her
liking.
·
Tell us about your latest or upcoming
vacation.
- I am so looking forward to going to Disney
World again. I love it! The people are so nice and the food is so good.
And the rides! I love everything about it. My favorite ride is Peter
Pan’s Flight. I remember that one from my childhood and I loved getting
to take my son on it last time we went.
·
Describe your perfect day.
- My perfect day is a “do nothing” day. Just
lay around and watch TV or read a book. I don’t get enough down time, it
seems, so I cherish those “do nothing” days.
·
Your bucket list. What have you done and what’s left to do?
- I’ll start with what is left to do. Go to
England, Ireland, Germany…let’s just sum that up as “go to Europe.” LoL I
also want to be able to walk into a bookstore and find my book on the
shelf. That’d be cool. I’ve already gotten a tattoo (several actually),
written a book, been parasailing, and seen the Mayan ruins in Mexico. The
ruins were amazing.
·
Who is your greatest source for
inspiration?
- Music. A lyric or a certain beat can get my
Muse going like nothing else. Every time I listen to Avenged Sevenfold or
Evanescence I want to write about Sarah Vargas.
·
I can do impressions of
- A monkey; one of the loud screaming ones. I
only do it for those I’ve known a long time… After all, they know how
crazy I am.
·
My guilty pleasure is:
- Mtn. Dew. I know I shouldn’t drink it – if I didn’t I’d lose weight – but I just love the citrus taste of caffeinated goodness.
Heather's latest release -
Blurb:
Kalia Seffmoyer is a rarity within
her paranormal world; she is an albino werewolf. Mated to the beautiful Sophia
Stone and alpha of the Stone Clan, Kalia Seffmoyer hoped that her life was
starting to turn around. Then, news arrives that her parents are coming in
town. Kalia’s parents are known to obliterate Mates of the same sex. Will
Kalia’s parents do the same to their only daughter?
Excerpt:
My mother, Caitlyn Seffmoyer, had
nothing but hate emanating from her blue eyes, and it was all for Sophia. She
stalked toward us…her eyes looking down at our clasped hands before returning
to Sophia.
“Well, is it true?” she asked,
contempt in her voice.
“Yes, Mother.” I lifted up the hem
of my shirt, revealing my ice-blue Mating Mark. “Sophia Stone is my mate.”
“How could you?” Caitlyn growled.
But the question wasn’t directed at me. “You will die for what you’ve done to
my daughter.”
“What I’ve done?” Sophia asked. “I’m
her mate. She’ll never be alone again. Never again will she be sent from bed to
bed like some whore. She is loved by me, and I’ll do anything to make sure that
you never abuse her again.”
“Abuse!” Caitlyn roared. I felt the
weight of an alpha werewolf in her voice. The members of the Stone Clan
cowered, some of them even disappearing into the woods around us. I
didn’t blame them. I’d run too if I thought it would do any good.
