1–What is the title of your latest release? A SINISTER REVENGE 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? What happens when one guest at a Victorian house party decides to exact vengeance for a murder that happened twenty years before? 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I knew I wanted to set a book at the country estate of one of my recurring characters, and because there were fossils involved, it was a natural choice to place it in Devon. They don’t call it the Jurassic Coast for nothing. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely! This is my eighth book with Veronica Speedwell, and it’s a delight to hang out with her every time. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Intrepid, audacious, irrepressible. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? That there were clergymen who claimed to know the exact date and time the earth was created. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I plow on through until the book is finished. It’s much easier to revise when I can see the book as a whole. 8–What’s your…

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Jerri Chisholm!   Writes: The third and final book in the YA dystopian Eleven Trilogy is finally here! I’m so excited to introduce ENDING ELEVEN to the world. Not only is it action-packed, but, in my opinion, it’s an epic and fitting conclusion to the tyrannical underground world known as Compound Eleven.   About: I’m Jerri. I write about dystopian nightmares, high stakes, and good old-fashioned romance. I love books of all stripes, indie music, homemade guacamole, and Indian food. I need two cups of coffee to get out of bed in the morning, no joke. I think frogs are repugnant. When I’m not up to midnight writing, you can find me jogging along dirt roads, online shopping, or obsessively cleaning my floors.   What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match: I’m looking for fans of heart-pounding action—nothing light or fluffy for me, thanks! I’d also love to be matched with readers who appreciate all the emotions, even raw ones that leave you emotionally drained you must be…

1–What is the title of your latest release? MARKED FOR GRACE It’s a paranormal romance about Grace, an untrained soul seer who has not a damn clue what they want. After she discovers a mark on the dead that kills the living, her quest to figure out who unleashed it pivots to the half-demon Gideon. She’s got her eye on him, and he’s got his on her too—every inch of her. As the mark haunts humanity’s steps and the death tolls climb, Grace realizes she’s in way over her head. But the lines between good and evil are blurred and choosing who to trust is hard as hell seeing as God is capable of wrath and Satan was once an angel. 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? What if the dead hunted you? 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I wanted it to be in a metropolis style city because my main character is a nurse, so it required a hospital. I needed it to be large enough for a major news outlet, for a business mogul to exist, and population enough to support a casino, all things that have relevance at…

Hello, readers! As the author of THE FAMILY BONES, I’m excited to introduce you to the Eriksen family, a group of individuals, some of which have committed crimes so egregious that True Crime fans know them by name. The Eriksens’ notoriety is in part fueled by neurotypical Olivia Eriksen, a psychology graduate student working on her doctorate, who has been publishing social media videos on her relatives since she was a pre-teen. When Olivia is invited to a family reunion, at a rural mountain resort in eastern Oregon, she reluctantly joins the event with her fiancé, assuring them both that they can leave whenever they want. Then a storm sweeps through the region, decimating roads and causing mudslides. What was billed as a rustic luxury getaway quickly spirals into chaos beyond Olivia’s greatest fears.   T is for Trainwreck. The only way to describe a family reunion among psychopaths. H is for Help, which will not be coming. E is for the Eriksens. The family in question, whose genes carry the spectrum of cognitive conditions.   F is for Fun and games, which quickly devolve into chaos. A is for Alarm, which is raised after a relative is found floating…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THE MIMICKING OF KNOWN SUCCESSES 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A sapphic, atmospherically Holmesian murder mystery set on Jupiter: gaspunk where the gas is piped up directly from the swirling insubstantial planet below. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I wanted to explore what a human settlement on a gas giant would be like. Initially I thought it would be some as-yet unidentified planet way out in the universe, but when I realized my book was partly about the damage humans have done to Earth and the desire to repair it, I moved it to Jupiter. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Mossa: Focused, observant, learning Pleiti: Dedicated, passionate, erudite 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? A day on Jupiter is less than ten hours long! So I had to figure out how humans might adapt to that. In my book they first try to artificially lengthen the day using orbiting mirrors, but society settles into a pattern where people stay awake for a day and a night…

Book Title: THE QUEEN’S PRICE Character Name: I am Daemonar Yaslana, Eyrien Warlord Prince.                                 I am Liath! I am a Sceltie Warlord Prince. I help Daemonar herd the young humans living at SaDiablo Hall.   1.) How would you describe your family or your childhood? We are a complicated family because not everyone who is considered family is also related by bloodlines. We are the most powerful and the wealthiest family in the Realm of Kaeleer. My uncle, who is the High Lord of Hell, is the family’s patriarch, and his word is law. That’s the surface truth of the SaDiablo-Yaslana family. The other truth is my father and uncle are very strict about children following the rules and respecting the Blood’s code of honor because they believe power should be tethered to acting responsibly for the sake of everyone around us. They also believe that children should have fun, and if a dash of mischief is part of the fun, they tend to look the other way as long as no one gets hurt. My mother is a hearth witch and a loom artist, so she is the softer side of the family—unless she gets riled. Even my…

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Sarah Hawley! Writes: I write fantasy romantic comedies featuring chaotic witches, brooding demons, and a mix of steam and magical hijinks. My debut romance, A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon, is about a magically-challenged witch named Mariel Spark who tries to summon flour for a spell and accidentally summons a demon for an unbreakable soul bargain instead. The demon, Ozroth the Ruthless, can’t leave her side until he gets her soul… but as he spends time with lively, kind Mariel, he decides he wants her heart, instead. About: Originally an archaeologist (I excavated at an Inca site in Chile, a Bronze Age palace in Turkey, and a medieval abbey in England), I now write steamy romance and fantasy novels. Passionate about: cheese, books, theatre, fictional villains, colorful socks, and weird trivia. When not dreaming up whimsical love stories, I can be found reading, dancing, or cuddling my two cats.   What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match: Likes to laugh…

To celebrate Jennifer Estep’s new “Gargoyle Queen” book CONQUER THE KINGDOM, we here at Fresh Fiction thought it would be a fun way for readers to get to know her characters better (from her many many fab books) to play a little game we call “The Character Most Likely”. I love this because it satisfies my romance nerd self. If you’re new to her Gargoyle Queen series – It’s a mix of magic, adventure, and romance. The result often combines chaos and eroticism in a satisfying way. Jennifer is free to select her answers from any of her paranormal series. Most likely to figure out a way to use an enemy’s strength against him? ANSWER: Vesper Quill from ONLY BAD OPTIONS. Vesper is an inventor/engineer who works in the research and development lab for a large corporation, so she is always dreaming up ways to make brewmakers, blasters, and other objects better, faster, and stronger. Sooner or later, she would figure out how to turn her enemy’s strength into a weakness.   Most likely to prefer using strategy or magic rather than swords or other instruments of battle? ANSWER: Reiko Yamato from CONQUER THE KINGDOM. Reiko is a spy at…

1–What is the title of your latest release? A WEDDING GONE TO THE DOGS 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Samantha’s best friend/cousin, Candie, is getting married but there is a major hitch. A former fiancé of Candie is found murdered in her home. Sam and her dachshund, Porkchop, jump to make sure Candie walks down the aisle and doesn’t spend her honeymoon in the poky. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? Like a lot of cozy authors, I wanted it to be set in a small town so that my main character would have a connection to a lot of the people in the town. Fortunately, where I live in upstate New York I am surrounded by lovely small towns that are perfect for my story’s setting. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely. She’s independent, feisty, and like me, owns an adorable dachshund. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? She’s fun loving, loyal and willing to be a bit of a daredevil. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? It certainly is no walk in the park, but writing gives me a natural…
