Look Who’s Going to RT: Jackie Kessler

25 April 2010 Jackie 5

Can you introduce yourself to my readers a little?
I write about demons, angels, the hapless humans caught between them, superheroes, the supervillians who love to pound those heroes into pudding, vampires, and the occasional Horseman of the Apocalypse. I’m also a Deadline Dame and a Reluctant Adult. And I tweet more than is healthy. (At least, to my writing productivity.) For more information about me than you probably care for, you can visit my website: www.jackiekessler.com.

Can you introduce yourself to my readers a little?
Hi! I’m Carolyn Crane, newbie author. My first book, Mind Games, came out last month, and the second in the trilogy, Double Cross, comes out in September. I also run the blog The Thrillionth page. I live in Minnesota, where I’m married, work as a freelancer, drive a duct-taped car, and get bossed by two cats.

I’m Mark Henry and I’m a writer and live in the Seattle area with my wife and 4 dogs. I used to be a child and adolescent psychotherapist but decided to give that up to warp minds with my fiction.

Can you introduce yourself to my readers a little?
I’m Lauren Dane. I write pretty much across the romance spectrum (erotic to sensual) from small town romance to sweeping futuristics. I love paranormals, contemps, urban fantasy, sci fi/futuristic and spec fic. I’ve been writing full time since 2004 when I sold my first book. I write for Samhain, Berkley and Harlequin Spice.

Can you introduce yourself to my readers a little?
So yeah, I figured I should probably do one for myself so if people wanted to, they would know who to look for. I’m sure most everyone knows the basics – I’m a stay at home mom with a three year old monkey and one on the way and a husband who humors my obsession with books.

What people are probably not aware of is that I’m one of they shyest people around. Seriously. I’m usually the one in a crowded room, hanging out by the wall, people watching. I have a hard time going up to people and striking up conversations out of the blue. So if you see me, don’t hestitate to approach me. I’m going to try, but I get intimidated really easily. Plus, I’m probably going to be completely awestruck seeing all the different authors around. *grin*

Look Who’s Going to RT: Angie Fox

Can you introduce yourself to my readers a little?
Well, I write the New York Times bestselling Accidental Demon Slayer series – The Accidental Demon Slayer, The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers and A Tale of Two Demon Slayers – which are a bunch of offbeat books about a preschool teacher who finds out she’s a demon slayer and then has to go out and save the world (while figuring out her powers along the way).

As far as me personally, I’m an advertising writer turned novelist and I just love writing. When a story grabs hold of me, it’s a kick to grab my laptop and see where the story leads me.

Look Who’s Going to RT: Jennifer Estep

Can you introduce yourself to my readers a little?
Of course. My name is Jennifer Estep, and I write the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. The first book in the series, Spider’s Bite, was released in February. Web of Lies, the second book, will be released May 25, and Venom, the third book, will hit shelves on Sept. 28.

I’m also the author of the Bigtime paranormal romance series. The Bigtime books feature sexy superheroes, evil ubervillains, and smart, sassy gals looking for love. Titles in the series are Karma Girl, Hot Mama, and Jinx.

Look Who’s Going to RT: Melissa Marr

Can you introduce yourself to my readers a little?
I write the Wicked Lovely series which is a folklore-based series of books about traditional Celtic faeries and the humans who encounter them in the modern world. The 1st book, Wicked Lovely, received the RITA for YA from Romance Writers of America, was on the recommended reading list for SFF in Locus, and was re-issued in Germany as an adult novel last year. So, I’m not really sure what my genre is. The 4th book in the series, Radiant Shadows, releases the 20th—the week of RT. In addition to these, I wrote a 3 volume manga series in this world and a variety of short stories. My first adult book, Graveminder, releases in 2011, but I’m not really sure what the genre of it is either. I’m currently just calling everything I write “fiction” or “stories” to avoid figuring out a label.

Look Who’s Going to RT: Toni Blake (aka Lacey Alexander)

Can you introduce yourself to my readers a little?
I write sexy yet heartwarming small town contempories as Toni Blake, and I also write romantic erotica as Lacey Alexander. My next Toni Blake book, SUGAR CREEK, comes out on May 25 and is the 2nd in my Destiny Series. I’m loving this series and am delighted that I’m contracted to write at least six books set in the small town of Destiny. As Lacey, I’ll be starting a new series with my next book, coming out from Penguin/NAL next year. Readers can learn more about “both of me” by visiting www.ToniBlake.com and www.LaceyAlexander.net.
