Interview & giveaway with Tammy Falkner

Books-n-Kisses is pleased to welcome Tammy Falkner to the blog today to chat about her newest release “THE MAGIC OF ‘I DO” 

Tammy, can you please share with us a little about yourself?

I am a mom of two boys – 18 and 9. And yes, they still fight even though there’s such a large spread between them.  I have been married for more than twenty years (and I just turned 39)

Have you always wanted to be an author?

I have always written, but didn’t know I truly wanted to be an author until someone at work looked at a short story I wrote and told me I was in the wrong profession.

Are you a plotter or a punster or combo of both? And you explain the difference?

Both!  I have a general idea of where my story is going when I start it, but I don’t know the particulars.  I know the major events that will happen, but not how they will tie into every scene.

 What is your most interesting writing quirk?

I procrastinate.  A lot.  To the point where I end up writing a book in a month, rather than the six that I planned to spend on it.

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

My new series revolves around a family of faeries – Sophia, Claire and Marcus.  Their mother fell in love with a human, and her wings were clipped, so when she delivered three fae children, they were stolen from her, along with the memories of them, and taken back to the fae world.  My faeries are mission faeries, and they’re taxed with helping humans where problems arise.  So, they must live and interact with humans but never fall in love with them.

How did you come with the idea for this story?

I had already written vampyres and Lycans in Regency England, and I wanted to expand and see what else might live and interact with the ton.

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

I just finished the third book in the series, THE MAGIC BETWEEN US.  THE MAGIC OF ‘I DO’ launches June 4^th, and I have a new adult book coming out at the end of June called TALL, TATTED AND TEMPTING.

What is the best piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to get into writing?

Join RWA or your local chapter of RWA.  The resources they offer are invaluable, and I wouldn’t be published today if not for them.

Can you share with us something off your bucket list?

I want to learn to water ski.  I used to do it when I was REALLY young, and I tried it last year and just wasn’t able to pull it off!

What is one book everyone should read before they die?

Colleen Hoover’s SLAMMED series is one of my new favorites

What is your favorite time of year & why?

Definitely the fall.   It’s cooler, and there’s no pollen like in the spring.

Who is your Celebrity crush?  And what would you do if you ever meet them?

I just asked my husband this, and he got this little gleam in his eyes and said, “Ellen Degeneris.”  He’s right. I would have to go all fan girl if I ever got to meet her.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Thanks so much for having me today. I hope everyone loves THE MAGIC OF ‘I DO’!

Desperately Seeking Excitement…

With the temporary prohibition on magic on the land of the Fae, Claire Thorne might as well go back to the Regency world. The haut ton has just as many annoying rules as her world, but at least they have parties and dances. Plus, the roguish Lord Phineas “Finn” Trimble is there…

When the feisty faerie tumbles into his room through a magical portal, Finn can’t believe how completely unpredictable she is. Even before the two stumble into a dangerous intrigue that threatens both their worlds, Finn discovers that his hitherto carefree life is about to go up in smoke…
