THE UNINVITED

Krewe of Hunters Series #8

Interview with

New York Times Bestselling

Athor

Heather Graham

Heather a few months ago I was flipping through one of several RT magazines. While chowing down on my favorite veggie lover’s pizza I was flipping I came across the a truly exciting article by Liz French, Stephanie Klose, Faygie Levy and Elissa Petruzzi titled “Legacy of Love.”  In short, the article explained about how the market might be changing but romance, which I agree whole heartedly, is forever.  My curious readers and I would love to know your thoughts on what you believe are the “Legacy of Love.”

I don’t believe we can ever change the human condition—loving and being loved in return is something we desire—we are, by nature, social beings. There are many kinds of love, of course, but I think it will always remain a dream that we find that one person who can make the earth stand still with a smile. It’s actually one of the finest aspects that we have as humans—and should be applauded and celebrated. That the path isn’t easy—well, we all know that there’s trial and tribulation, but we crave a happy ending.

You’re in the thick of your new Krewe of Hunters series; can you tell us more about it?

I have a tremendous amount of fun with the Krewe of Hunter series. For one, it gives me a wonderful opportunity to do all kinds of fun things. I have friends, the “Peace River Ghost Trackers,” with whom I’ve been able to do a number of “expeditions.” I was recently with them on the Queen Mary and “expedition-ing” we were alone in the bowels of the ship, the infirmary, and other areas of reported hauntings. We’ve also done the Myrtles plantation—most haunted plantation/bed and breakfast—the Spanish Military Hospital, and a number of other venues. I’m looking forward to our final day of NECON (Northeastern Writers Conference) when I’ll head with some other writers for our annual stay at the Lizzie Borden house. Naturally—in the pursuit of research, of course—I go on every haunted tour out there. And for an earlier book, Mira arranged for a séance at the House of the Seven Gables. I love hearing the facts of history—far stranger than anything I could create!—and then what has been reported to have happened since. My “Krewes” consist of teams hand-selected by Adam Harrison to head to the FBI academy to learn all the basics, but they’re selected with the express purpose of being Krewe; each Krewe has a unique talent as far as finding his or her way of communicating with those who haven’t managed to leave this world behind. The Unseen puts the second Krewe together when there are a number of disappearances and deaths in San Antonio, Texas. In The Unholy, Krewe members move on to L.A. where a bizarre death has occurred in the small film noir museum that connects a special effects studio with an old cinema. I have a lovely young friend who works at Legacy Studios and gave me a tour—I was like a kid in a candy shop, just viewing all the imagination at work there—horrible monsters right next to giant rats and termites!

Heather, I am manic about your books and become completely addicted to your characters.  You continue to give readers time and again a powerful emotional love story with engaging characters that rips readers hearts out  while making them root for a happily ever after.  Can you tell us more about the latest Krewe of Hunters release:

Onward, coming up next, is The Unspoken. The Krewe (along with Will Chan from the original Krewe) is called in when a diver dies mysteriously after having discovered a ship wreck in Lake Michigan. I love Chicago—saw my first mummies there as a child. (My mom moved to Chicago when she and her family first came to the states, so I love the city!) I also remember seeing Lake Michigan for the first time when I was very young. It was so big—I had a bad time understanding that it wasn’t an ocean! Sunken treasure and an Egyptian curse—and, of course, the mystery of the ship singing!—are all explored in the story.

The last book in this series, The Uninvited, take place in Philadelphia when a costumed interpreter in an historic house is found dead. The Krewe then discovers that the house has had a history of mysterious deaths, and all are tied up with a case of betrayal—to lover and country—that occurred during the British occupation of the city during the Revolutionary War. Philly is another city I love—walking where our Founding Fathers walked and imagining the days when our country began and faced hurdles that were insurmountable—and yet they surmounted them.

THE UNHOLY - July 2012 - book #6

THE UNSPOKEN - August 2012 - book #7

THE UNINVITED - September 2012 - book #8

Is there any part of your personality that bleeds into your characters while you write? 

Interesting question. I don’t really know. My characters (heroic characters, at least!) have a tendency to agree with my social outlook. I am a huge proponent of the American dream—true equality for all. And for children’s causes, the ASPCA, and other associations dedicated to preventing animal abuse. I worked in commercials and dinner theater before writing—my degree—so I have a great deal of fun writing about some of the odd jobs we get to do while striving to make a living performing. (My personal tops? I was a singing, tap-dancing rib salesgirl!) I love music as much as reading, so I do tend to wind up with musicians!

What inspired you to start the Krewe of Hunters series?

 

Having used Adam Harrison in previous books, I really liked him. He’s a good man who lost his son (who had extra sensory abilities) and Adam began to look for people like him, certain that they could do a world of good. I have a number of friends in different areas of law enforcement who will tell me strange stories—it seemed to make sense to use a real branch of service with a mixture of characters. I also liked a Federal branch—so that they would have jurisdiction across the country, when they were asked in, of course.

What is your favorite part of writing a series?

My favorite part of the series is the planning. Who are they going to be—and what is their specialty? And then, I love travel and the amazing stories you hear when you do travel. Local tales are extraordinary and amazing. Deciding what cities to use and who will do what where is always intriguing and enjoyable. Also, each place I’ve used in both of the Krewe series has been one that I love. NOLA—I’m always there! Plantation country, New York City, and Salem, Mass, in the first series. San Antonio (I’ll never forget seeing the Alamo at night for the first time; the air seemed somehow sacred,) L.A. (my daughter, Chynna, just graduated from CalArts!) Chicago (spent a lot of time with my great-grandmother growing up. Her burr was thick as butter and she had us believing in leprechauns, banshees, pixies . . . you name it!) and Philly. I love history and the story of us as Americans. Philly has Dolley Madison’s house, tales of yellow fever, traitors, spies, and the incredibly heroic.

Okay, I want to give a warm welcome to, Tyler Montague and Allison Leigh (Waving franticly, trying to get the besotted couple’s attention). I know you two have gone through a lot to get to your happily ever after so I will try to be brief. (Blushes scarlet as she catches the intimate glance between the newlyweds, clears her throat).

.

I’m curious. Allison, what was your first impression of Tyler?  Tyler, I would love to hear.Was it love or lust at first sight? He was certainly impressive; he’d been a Texas Ranger before joining the Krewe.  But, of course, when I first met him, I’d just found a friend and associate dead. I was pretty upset.

Allison, when was the moment you knew that Tyler was for you? Hm. I think it was when I realized that although he looked like a tough guy, he was well read, willing to listen to others, and gentle when he worked with people who were down. He had a way with him, you know?

Tyler, name one thing about Allison that you believe changed your outlook on love.

That’s easy. Coming to know Allison. I loved her mind. Yeah, sure, you say. But, it’s true. She was stunning, but, honestly, I’ve been privileged to know many beautiful women; she just had the mind and there was something in the light of her eyes; I loved her humor and the way she looked at the past and the present. And at me, of course.

 I have become addicted, lately with books about time travel.  This got me to thinking.  If I handed you my time traveling piece would use it to go back in time to change anything. “Sheepishly pleads”, Allison and Tyler, please, please, chuck this question up to the inquisitive mind of this very curious interviewer.

Allison: That’s so hard to say. If we could go back and prevent something really terrible from happening, that would be great. But could we manage something like that? If it were possible, maybe I’d go back and do something to stop the atrocities of World War II. But, of course, hindsight is great—if I were there now, would anyone listen to me? However, at some point, we are planning to have a family. I don’t want to say anywhere I’m not going to have good disposal diapers or a really fantastic service. Of, course, Tyler, we could go back and buy a lot of stock in Apple and the Internet.

Tyler: Sure—we’ll prevent a lot of very bad things—and buy stock. It’s true that you don’t really know what could prevent. Maybe if I were able to go back with a lot DVDs, I could stop a lot of wars. But, cool heads always warned about the bloodshed.

Allison: I would love it if we could just go and have a dinner party with Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry—

Tyler: I’d enjoy that with the characters I admired from the Civil War—Lincoln, Lee, Jeff Davis—and Davis’s wife, Varina. Both presidents lost sons in their separate Whites Houses. They were people; we see them in history as the sum of the lives and forget that they were human and that they suffered, and they often found themselves in situations they didn’t like.

Allison did you have any apprehension about getting involved with Tyler?

Of course. Love isn’t easy. It always comes with the fear that we’ll be hurt, and there’s nothing so fragile as the human heart. It’s also something we have to work at when times are tough. I’m in for long haul.

Tyler, what about you?  Did you have a sliver of doubt about becoming involved with Allison?  

I have to say, it’s the same. They claim that men are different—sure, of course, we are. But, being in love . . . men fall just as hard.

Do you, Allison and Tyler, believe that love conquers all?

Allison: Hm. Maybe, in the end, it even conquers death. We don’t know that.

Tyler: It can definitely conquer the demons in the mind—and make life beautifully worth living.

One more thing before I let you go.  Do you believe that everything you two went through to find one another, fall in love and finding your happily ever after was worth the price you had to pay?

Together: In a heartbeat!

Now back to Heather.

How did you mark the occasion of finally finishing THE UNINVITED? I hit the send button, told the pets how happy I was . . . and began to wonder what revisions my editor would want!

What do you hope readers walk away with after reading THE UNINVITED? A great feel for Philly and a desire to go back, stop by the Liberty Bell, visit Dolley Madison’s house, and throw a penny on Franklin’s grave. Also, perhaps more curiosity about the world we live in—what we see, and what we may not  see. Unexplained phenomena is fascinating. They know we don’t use the full capacity of the incredible computer that’s the human brain. What may we discover that we can do in the future?

You’re clearly very busy.  What do you do in your limited spare time?  Are you reading anything right now?  Any reading recommendations while we wait until your next release in your, Krewe of Hunters series? So many recommendations! If you’re a history buff, I really recommend Killer Angels. Horror? Anything by F. Paul Wilson. Home and heart? Sheryl Woods . . . vampires? If you’ve never read “They Thirst” by Robert McCammon. Psychological and spooky—Alexandra Sokoloff. Pure fun—I’m waiting now for my friend Beth Ciotta’s first cupcake book! I read constantly—and I read everything. Loved Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, and the Game of Thrones series is excellent, too. Dexter—love the Dexter books. So many books—so little time! Maybe Heaven is a pile of clouds filled with books! Kathy Love is fun and quirky, Harlan Cobin is incredible—my list could go on and on. A Tale of Two Cities remains one of my ten top reads, you can’t go wrong with Poe . . . wow. Need to stop!

Heather, please share with desperate readers where they can connect with you in cyber world. =) eheathergraham.com—and I’m on facebook. Two pages, Heather Graham, author, and Heather Graham Pozzessere. I’m on almost every day—it’s one way to keep up with my kids. I also throw a workshop every year in New Orleans which, because of the help of so many writer friends, is truly amazing and lots of fun. We have a few crazy parties along with great workshops and speakers, editors and agents.

Heather, you rocked RCJR eZine and Over the Edge blog and its readers.  Thank you so much for stopping by to dish about Allison and Tyler from THE UNINVITED in your Krewe of Hunters series released by Harlequin.

Overview

1777: In the throes of the Revolutionary War, Landon Mansion is commandeered by British Lord "Butcher" Bedford. He stabs Lucy Tarleton—who spurned his king and his love—leaving her to die in her father's arms.

NOW: After the day's final tour, docent Allison Leigh makes her rounds while locking up…and finds a colleague slumped over Bedford's desk, impaled on his own replica bayonet.

Resident ghosts may be the stock-in-trade of stately Philadelphia homes, but Allison—a noted historian—is indignant at the prospect of "ghost hunters" investigating this apparent murder.

Agent Tyler Montague knows his hauntings and his history. But while Allison is skeptical of the newcomer, a second mysterious murder occurs. Has "Butcher" Bedford resurfaced? Or is there another malevolent force at work in Landon Mansion? Wary, yet deeply attracted, Allison has to trust in Tyler and work with him to discover just what uninvited guest—dead or alive—has taken over the house.

Or their lives could become history!

Who are you Secretly Crushing On?

Over the Edge is SECRETLY CRUSHING ON...#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kennyon's A Dark Hunter Series.  Specifically, Sunshine and Talon of the Morrigants from NIGHT EMBRACE. 

Dear Reader,

Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night.

Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants. Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments.

But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago. With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing. But for me to love her would mean her death. I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both.

—Talon of the Morrigantes

Why:  First, i have to share that I am a complete--and will never recover--addict of any and all things Sherrilyn Kennyon writes.  So it is no surprised when I took a trip to my local Barnes and Nobles to pick up JR Ward's LOVER UNBORN and LOVER MINE that i would walk away with more books than I anticipated.

Reader, I could NOT help myself.  Sunshine and Talon cried out for me.  So there I was grabbing it from the top book shelf, reading the back and walking to the cashier counter without a second thought.

The why is very obvious.  Two complete opposites collide...literally...all the while fighting with all their might not to fall in love.  I ask you, could you have just walked away from that?

                                       

 Who are you Secretly Crushing On?

SAMURAI GAME

Ghostwalker Series # 10

Interview with

#1 New York Times Bestselling

Author

Christine Feehan

Christine a few months ago I was flipping through one of several RT magazines. While chowing down on my favorite veggie lover’s pizza I was flipping I came across the a truly exciting article by Liz French, Stephanie Klose, Faygie Levy and Elissa Petruzzi titled “Legacy of Love.”  In short, the article explained about how the market might be changing but romance, which I agree whole heartedly, is forever.  My curious readers and I would love to know your thoughts on what you believe are the “Legacy of Love.”

A:  I think readers are always going to want books.  I am a reader.  I think there are people like me who write that always want a happily ever after ending.  No matter how the industry changes.  I believe most women want to find a soul mate and have a family with them, that’s what appeals to them, so I believe the romance genre will remain no matter what happens in the industry.

You’re in the thick of a few of your phenomenal series.  I would love to learn more about your Ghostwalker series; can you tell us more about it?

A: The fun thing about the Ghostwalkers is that I can go anywhere with it.  The science is up to date or in the future.  The stories can be military or when they are not on a mission it gives me scope.  I always look forward to writing them.  I enjoy writing action, thriller and romance blended together.

Christine I am manic about your books and become completely addicted to your characters.  You continue to give readers time and again a powerful emotional love story with engaging characters that rips readers hearts out  while making them root for a happily ever after.  Can you tell us more about SAMURAI GAME?

A: Samurai Game was really great to write because I had such a courageous and intelligent heroine to work with.  Azami is an assassin.  Sam is an intelligent Ghostwalker and from the beginning he admired her skills and respected her abilities.  They worked very, very well together.

Is there any part of your personality that bleeds into your characters while you write?

A: You try not to let that happen as a writer but I think there is a little bit of the writer in every character that is written.

Did you have Sam ‘Knight” Johnson’s full character arc when you started the Ghostwalker series?  Did you know what would happen to him in the end?

A: I think when you start a character you know them pretty well because you have to know their history but as you continue to write them you learn more, which is what I find so fascinating about writing.

What inspired you to start the Ghostwalker series?

A: Robert Ludlum’s Bourne Identity.  The actual book.  I loved the hero and heroine in the book.  She was equally as intelligent and equally as important for their survival.

 

What was one of your favorite moments when writing the SAMURAI GAME?

A: When Sam came home and saw the origami lights floating down the stream.

Okay, I want to give a warm welcome to, Thorn and Sam (Waving franticly, trying to get the besotted couple’s attention). I know you two have gone through a lot to get to your happily ever after so I will try to be brief. (Blushes scarlet as she catches the intimate glance between the newlyweds, clears her throat).

.I’m curious. Thorn what was your first impression of Sam?  Sam, I would love to hear your thoughts about the first time you laid eyes on Thorn. =)

Thorn: I knew about Sam before I ever saw him but I though he was extremely attractive, so much so, I had to remind myself to stay serene and not look at him.

Sam: At first glance I thought she was beautiful, innocent, and mysterious and perhaps a little dangerous.

Was it love at first sight or lust at first sight?

Definitely lust at first sight.

Thorn, when was the moment you knew that Sam was for you?

Thorn: I think it was when we almost lost him.  I had gone through combat with him and shared some moments with him and realized how completely alone I was when he was gone.

Sam, name one thing about Thorn that you believe changed your outlook on love

Sam: I never thought there would be a woman for me until I saw her in combat.  She understood me as a warrior.

I have become addicted, lately with books about time travel.  This got me to thinking.  If I handed you my time traveling piece would use it to go back in time to change anything. (Sheepishly pleads) Sam and Thorn, please, please, chuck this question up to the inquisitive mind of this very curious interviewer.

We talked it over and we would probably be selfish and not change anything.

Thorn did you have any apprehension about getting involved with Sam?

Yes, of course.  I wasn’t even sure I could have a real relationship.

Sam, what about you?  Did you have a sliver of doubt about becoming involved with Thorn?

No, not really from the very beginning I knew she was right for me.

Do you, Sam and Thorn, believe that love conquers all?

Thorn: I think love makes it easier to get through things.  It can’t conquer all but it makes it better to have someone through those times.

One more thing before I let you go.  Do you believe that everything you two went through to find one another, fall in love and finding your happily ever after was worth the price you had to pay?

Absolutely.

Thorn and Sam:  Thank you for some very interesting questions that kept us up discussing them over candlelight.

Now back to Christine.

How did you mark the occasion of finally finishing SAMURAI GAME?

A:  I immediately started Dark Storm.

What do you hope readers walk away with after reading SAMURAI GAME?

A:  I hope they feel satisfied and entertained and that the characters stick with them.

You’re clearly very busy.  What do you do in your limited spare time?  Are you reading anything right now?  Any reading recommendations while we wait until your next release in your GHOSTWALKER series?

A: I am holding my new beloved granddaughter and I don’t ever want to put her down.  I am reading James Rollins Sigma Force series and I love it! Anyone that loves the Ghostwalkers,  I really recommend the Sigma Force series.

Christine, please share with desperate readers where they can connect with you in cyber world. =)

A:  I have a website at www.christinefeehan.com  I have a community there, much like Facebook where I connect with my readers a couple of times a week if not more.  I have a Facebook page with updates.  I also hold a small, intimate convention every year called FAN where I can actually meet my readers and spend some quality time with them.  The website for FAN is www.fanconvention.net.  Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to connect with my readers.  I look forward to hearing from them in my community or seeing them at the convention!

In a world so dark and seductive, expect nothing less than a triple-cross in the explosive all-new Ghostwalker novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan…

In an underground club, a high-ranking public official spends his secret nights indulging in fantasies as exciting as they are depraved. For a seductive employee of the Dungeon, it’s her job to fulfill them. But she’s playing a far more dangerous game—one of blackmail, politics, and murder that reaches into the shadow world of the Ghostwalkers, and the creation of a spectacular, one-of-a-kind new weapon of defense.

But when a dictator makes his own catastrophic moves, the Ghostwalkers have no choice but to bring in two major players—a man and woman both driven by passion and revenge. Both expendable. Both with nothing left to lose.

Overview

1898: Bound for Chicago, the freighter Jerry McGuen goes down in Lake Michigan, taking with it every man aboard. But what other fate could befall a vessel carrying the ill-gotten sarcophagus of an Egyptian sorcerer?

Now: A veteran diver and "ghost ship" expert is exploring the legendary wreck for a documentary. He dies inexplicably inside the freighter's main saloon. Then another diver is killed and panicked rumors rise like bubbles from the lake: ancient demons have awakened below!

The expedition's beleaguered financier calls paranormal investigator Katya Sokolov to Chicago to save the film—and perhaps some innocent lives. Along with media forensics guru Will Chan, Kat plumbs the depths of an evil that may date back to the time of the Pharaohs. But some secrets are best drowned in the seas of the past.…

TEASER

"We'll know when we discover it," Will said. He looked at Kat. "Bedroom or Office?"
"Office."
"I'll finish the guest rooms, then," Tyler said.
He and Will headed upstairs, while Kat went across to the office.  She made a point of leaving the door open.  Maybe Will should have done this room, since he seemed to love things Egyptian. But she couldn't forget the way she found the elderly man.  He had loved the den.  If there was something to find, it might well be there."

A Vampire In Chains

Held captive in a basement prison, wrapped in silver chains, the vampire Gideon is too weak to fight the monster who enslaves him. For years, she's tapped his precious blood like a fountain of youth--sustaining him with human females she captures for his pleasure. But with the latest victim she brings him, he senses something intriguingly different. Something dangerous, yet oh so tempting.

Kay Alissano is no ordinary woman. Every full moon, she must answer the call of the wild--unleashing the wolf within. As daughter of the Shadow Pack's Alpha, Kay is extremely powerful--and when she's offered up to Gideon, she doesn't surrender easily. In wolf form, she might be able to unchain Gideon's heart and set them both free--if only he can resist the urge to consume her, body and soul, before the next full moon. . .

Master of Darkness by Angela Knight

Published Date: August 7, 212  Publisher: Penguin Group  Genre: Paranormal Romance

Overview

In the final book of New York Times bestselling author Angela Knight's Mageverse, two werewolves must save humanity from a madman, despite their mutual distrust—and growing passion...

Miranda Drake is the daughter of Warlock, a werewolf sorcerer and sworn enemy of King Arthur. Like her father, she's a werewolf with magical abilities, but after years of abuse from the Alphas in her family, she is determined to stop Warlock from spreading his poison throughout the werewolf population.

Born to a long line of cops, William Justice thinks that protecting Miranda is his chance to redeem himself for not being able to stop Warlock's manipulation of the werewolves into war. But despite Justice's insistence, Miranda has no interest in trusting another dominant Alpha, even if the sexual tension between them is enough to set her aflame.

As Warlock rallies his forces and sets out to destroy Avalon, Miranda and Justice will need to learn how to trust each other—before the spark between them dies along with all of Magekind...

Library Journal

Realizing she fits into neither the Harmonic Enlightenment community in which she was raised nor Harmony's mainstream parapsychology world, aura healer Rachel Blake heads for sanctuary on Rainshadow Island to reopen her bookstore and café and regain her balance. Then shadow-aura Harry Sebastian barges into her life. Namesake of his legendary pirate great-grandfather and scion of the family who owns most of the island, Harry is on a mission to see what's wrong in the island's mysterious, dangerous Preserve.

Stygian's Honor (Breeds Series) by Lora Leigh

Published Date: August 7, 2012  Publisher: Penguin Group  Genre: Paranormal Romance

Overview

Window Rock, Arizona, is the last known location of Honor Roberts, who vanished when she was just thirteen. It was her only sanctuary from the Breed research that would surely have ended in her death—one such insidious experiment should, indeed, have killed her. That she lived is both a miracle—and a great mystery.

Stygian’s mission is to find Honor Roberts, no matter the cost. Now, with the help of Liza Johnson, assistant to the chief of the Navajo Nation, he is closer than ever to his goal. But will the discovery of Honor Roberts mean the destruction of the mating heat that has developed between Stygian and Liza?
