Saranna DeWylde Interview – Paranormal Mysteries and Romance
Author Guest , Interviews / February 23, 2022

ETERNAL LOVER, which comes out February 22nd, is described as a reissue but with a new story by you. What can you tell me about the anthology, but your story specifically? When I was reading the book description, some of the stories look like historical paranormal ones (which I LOVE), and I know Hannah Howell has done those type of stories before. I love paranormal historicals. That is one of my favorite candies. However, my story isn’t historical. It’s a modern nod to The Mummy (’99) and my hero is basically a mashup of Imhotep and Ardeth Bey. I am really excited to be included in this anthology because it was one that I’d read and loved. I’m a big fan of the other authors in the set.   The third book in your Fairy Godmothers, Inc. series just came out at the end of December. What can you tell me about that series? Can the books be read as standalones? Fairy Godmothers Inc. is what you get if the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus used their powers for mostly good. The series is extra special to me because I went through some really hard times while I was writing…

Vonda Sinclair Interview – Hot Highlander Shifters and Time Travel
Author Guest , Interviews / February 23, 2022

Your new book, DREAMING OF A DEVILISH HIGHLANDER, is the first in a series. Do you have a set number of books you plan on doing in this series? Or you’ll see what inspires you? For the Highland Shifters Series, I plan to publish three books about three Highlander warrior friends who are cursed at the same time by their fallen enemy’s mother. For my other series, like my Highland Adventure Series, I follow inspiration and write stories of previous secondary characters (making them heroes or heroines). I even did a spin off series called Scottish Treasure. But the Highland Shifters characters are separate and unrelated to the other series’ characters. The date is also slightly later.   From the book’s description, there seem to be some supernatural and time travel elements to this story. Paranormal historicals are my favorite. Do you include these kinds of elements in all your books? No, this book contains far more paranormal than my usual books. I have included some very mild paranormal in a couple of my regular historicals, but these were minor elements, like second sight. In DREAMING OF A DEVILISH HIGHLANDER, the hero shapeshifts into a hawk during the daytime and…

Harper St. George Interview – Gilded Age-Inspired Romance
Author Guest , Interviews / February 23, 2022

Welcome to Fresh Fiction, Harper! Congrats on the release of THE LADY TEMPTS AN HEIR. What do you love about writing novels set during the Gilded Age? Thank you so much for inviting me to Fresh Fiction. I’m thrilled to be here to discuss The Lady Tempts an Heir. By far, the best thing about writing books set during the Gilded Age is the research. I love the history of the time and how accessible it is to us. There are so many primary sources such as newspaper articles, journals, and even photographs from the period that help me set the mood for my stories. A close second is the fashion. The gowns were so gorgeous and extravagant. I can easily lose a day of writing by researching what my characters would be wearing in a particular scene.   Maxwell Crenshaw has been content living in New York but must go back to England after vowing he’d never return when his father takes ill. How do you think returning to his family estate changes Maxwell’s outlook on life so far, especially after he sees Helena again?  By this point in his life, and after dealing with his parents social-climbing maneuverings…
