Carrie Ann: Thank you so much for having me here today!
Q1) Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Carrie Ann: There isn’t much to tell. I’m a twenty-something chemistry instructor by day and a romance writer by night. I live in New England with my husband and write because I love to read romance so much.
Q2) Have you always wanted to be an author?
Carrie Ann: Not really. I’ve always loved to read and have written in one form of another all my life, but it wasn’t until recently that I decided to write. And oh, how happy I am that I did.
Q3) Who are some of your favorite writers? Who do you feel has influenced your writing?
Carrie Ann: I have so many, but Rebecca Royce, Yasmine Galenorn, and Lauren Dane are the three that come to mind. They write tight and beautifully. Love them.
Q4) Can you tell us what a typical writing day for you is like.
Carrie Ann: I usually work all day at the other job, come home make dinner and hang with the hubby. Then I sit at my laptop on our couch and write or edit for a couple hours. Days off, I usually read instead of work, then write. It works for me. J
Q5) Can you tell us a little about An Alpha’s Path?
Carrie Ann: An Alpha’s Path is about finding your soul mate and then realizing there are paranormal strings attached. What would you do?
Here’s the blurb:
Melanie is a twenty-five year old chemist who has spent all of her adult life slaving at school. With her PhD in hand, she’s to start her dream job, but before she does, her friend persuades her to relax and try to live again. A blind date set up through her friends seems like the perfect solution. Melanie can take one night away from the lab and let her inner vixen out on a fixed blind date – a chance to get crazy with a perfect stranger. The gorgeous hunk she’s to meet exceeds her wildest dreams – but he is more than what he appears and Melanie’s analytical mind goes into overdrive.
Kade, a slightly older werewolf (at over one hundred years), needs a night way from the Pack. Too many responsibilities and one near miss with a potential mate made Kade hide in his work, the only peace he can find. His brother convinces him to meet the sexy woman for a one night of fun. What could it hurt? But when he finds this woman could be his mate, can he convince her to leave her orderly, sane world and be with him and his wolf-half, for life?
Q6) What is up next for you?
Carrie Ann: So much! J An Alpha’s Path is the novella that kicks off the Redwood Pack series – in which the rest are full length novels. Book 2 in the series, A Taste for a Mate, comes out in February and is Jasper’s book. I’m also working on Book 2 in the series, Trinity Bound.
Q7) What is the next book on your To Read Pile that you are dying to jump into?
Carrie Ann: My TBR pile is so large – so I will just talk about the ones actually out – and next on my list is NightShine by Lynn Viell. J
Q8) Is there anything else you would like to add?
Carrie Ann: Not much – other than thanks for having me!
Books-n-Kisses: Carrie Ann, again thank you so very much for making Books-n-Kisses a stop on your book tour. I have enjoyed learning more about you and your book. I look forward to reading and see what you come up with next.
Carrie Ann: Thank you so much for taking your time with me. This is my first released work and something that I’m proud of. I know it’s not perfect – but it’s perfect for me. I’ve learned so much and I can’t wait to write some more!
