Can you introduce yourself to my readers a little?
I’m Marcia Colette and I write urban fantasy and paranormal romance. Readers can find me at www.marciacolette.com. I have an upcoming print release from Samhain called STRIPPED. June 1st can’t come soon enough.
Can you introduce us to the world that you have created?
I usually leave werewolves and vampires to the experts like Kelley Armstrong and Charlaine Harris, although I have a half-wolf heroine in my urban fantasy series. My paranormal romance has sexy werecheetahs, a root woman with a secret, zombies of the mentally out there kind, and power-hungry mummies mixed in. Also, I have a YA making rounds that has hags, a telekinetic, and an incubi.
Will this be your first RT or are you a veteran? Any advice for those who are going for the first time?
This will be my third RT and I’m looking forward to it. The best advice I can give is to map out what you want to do/see ahead of time. Pay close attention to those programs that are marked writer, reader, book-seller, etc. They’ll help. Honest.
Are you speaking on any panels during RT? Are there any you are looking forward to?
I’m not speaking, but I’m looking forward to signing at the book expo and the giant book fair. Oh, there’s also the mingling, the parties, hanging out with my writer friends.
If someone were wanting to meet up with you at RT, who should they look for?
The chick with the adorable five-month-old baby girl. On second thought, that sort of describes my mom, too. She’ll be scouting out the best people-watching spot in the place with the smiles-a-lot baby while I’m doing my author thing. And if you miss me, there’s a chance I’ll be holding the smallest fairy in the room at the fairy ball.
Hey Marcia! I love your idea of involving root women and hags in UF. Good luck on the release, and I’ll look forward to meeting you at RT!
Thanks, Carolyn! I’m compiling a list of people I want to meet while at RT and you and Jackie have certainly it. :)
Liz, will be there, too. And Barbara Vey. I’m going to miss all of you!
I’m note going to RT but, hopefully I run into you at Concarolinas:)
I can’t wait for June 1st!
