Look who Made The Paper

Feeling very blessed to have just seen the Orono Weekly Times. I was interviewed by the delightful Peggy Foster a week ago and I must say that it was an amazing experience.



I was very nervous -- so used to being on the other side of the pen that I rambled on about everything from my writing group to my childhood all the way to my favourite authors. All in regards to my writing career of course, wink wink, and yet Peggy managed to weave it all into a beautifully coherent article. What a fantastic experience! Thank you: Peggy, Roxanne and Marg and everyone else involved in putting out this awesome local paper. Please be sure to grab a copy if you haven't already and check it out.

It's basically a one day online pitching session where writers pitch their completed manuscripts two times per hour in 140 characters or less using the hashtag #PitMad and their genre.

Today I'm interviewing bestselling author Marie Lavendar who prefers a gel pen to a keystroke and a journal page to a computer.

When asked if she had any quirks she admitted that while she doesn't write in the shower, she does find herself working on scenes in there. I had to agree...this happens to me all the time.  Desiree Edwards has a problem. She’s been attacked, kidnapped and forced to get along with a vampire of all things. It’s something right out of the story books she reads, or her worst nightmare. But, sometimes he’s not the monster he appears to be. He seems so humanlike that she can’t help it when her emotions betray her, when her body betrays her. To make matters worse, she finds out more about herself than she ever wanted to know. She was unlike any other… Alec has a problem. The animal in him wants Desiree. But, so does the man. The more he learns about her, the harder it is to deny what he wants. But, he’s a freak, and she’s just a human. The two species don’t mix that way. Then an old enemy surfaces and Alec is forced to make a choice. His life or hers. Can Alec’s soul be saved by...
