Books-n-Kisses is pleased to welcome Nana Malone to the blog today

Nana, can you please share with us a little about yourself

Oh I’m just your average Ghanaian/American girl who lives in sunny San Diego with an American husband who thinks my family is crazy.  My Big Fat Greek Wedding has nothing on us.  In my infinite spare time, I chase around my two year old trying to tame her wild mane of hair, try and corral my spunky Scottie and occasionally let my hubby pamper me.

Have you always wanted to be an author?

Nope.  Way back when I wanted to be an MTV  VJ.  It wasn’t’ until 12 years ago that I actually thought that I could do this as a profession.

Who are some of your favorite writers? Who do you feel has influenced your writing?

Right now Sylvia Day and JR Ward. I love their use of language and description that has you sucked in right from the start.

How did you get into writing in this specific genre?  Have you ever thought about writing in a different genre?

Well, there’s just something about sassy contemporary romance.  It’s the world I live in.  Or used to live in several years ago.  Lol.  It’s Witty comments between friends and lovers.  It’s Sex and the City if done well.  But the geek girl in me also loves paranormal, because who doesn’t’ love a shifter?

What are some of your writing rituals?

I wake up and write 1000 words first thing in the morning.  This is before coffee, before brushed teeth, before I even run off to use the bathroom.  It helps set the pace for the rest of the day.

Can you please tell us about your latest book(s)?

Sultry in Stilettos is the second in my In Stilettos series.  It stars best friends Ricca Munroe and Becket Mills, who just can’t seem to get it together.

Shy, Fantasy Event Planner, Ricca Munroe has never been lucky in love, so when the latest in a long line of Mr. Oh So Wrongs publicly dumps her, she focuses on her career. All she has to do to land the job of a lifetime is work side-by-side with the one man who can break her heart.

Beckett Mills has never been in love. Personal entanglements are a recipe for disaster—that is until one kiss from Ricca Munroe changes everything. Beckett needs this job to fulfill a promise he made. All he has to do is resist the seductive charms of his best friend.

Can Ricca come out of her shell to land her dream job and the love of her life? Can Beckett trust himself enough to actually fall in love and still keep the promise he made?

Warning: Sexy, sass talking women will make you laugh, cry and want a pair of killer footwear.
How did you come with the idea for this story?

I got the idea for the first in the series for Sexy in Stilettos while sitting around with my girlfriends one night getting some drinks. I wondered under what scenario I would abandon my list making ways and out of that, the hero, Alec was born.  Ricca and Beckett were so fun they deserved their own story.

Can you share with us your current work(s) in progress?

Right now I’m working on the follow up to my first published novel, Game, Set, Match, called MisMatch.  It’s not exactly a sequel, but it stars the plucky Jessica, who stole the show in GSM. After that comes Sassy in Stilettos, the final in the In Stilettos trilogy.

What would you be if you were not an author?

A Project Manager.  I’m apparently very bossy.

What is in your To Read Pile that you are dying to start or upcoming release you can’t wait for?

Nothing stays in my TBR pile for too long.  But I’m anxiously waiting for the next Crossfire novel by Sylvia Day.  May seems too far away.  Lol.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Just a thank you for having me today and a reminder that In addition to ebook and print, many of my books are available in audio too.  Readers(listeners) can find them here

I just love to chat with readers.  You can all find me here:
