I’m usually a sucker for second chance-at-love stories and I loved RESTING WITCH FACE. What made you decide to have it come out later in the series? Was it to deliberately build tension for readers? Yes, for a couple of reasons. Of course, I wanted to build tension, but also the characters needed to be seen “apart” before you could see them “together.” After you read RWF, you understand why they couldn’t stay together. And if you read closely the books that come before it, you’ll see how Ruben and Jules have both changed. It also makes their final reunion that much sweeter when you’ve seen them apart in other books but sense their obvious chemistry still sparking between them.   I liked both of the main characters in RESTING WITCH FACE – especially your vampire hero. I confess that – even when the book description doesn’t match – I sometimes visualize the paranormal hero looking a little like Jack Skellington from THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Are there any traits – either physical or personality-wise – that you like giving your heroes? I tend to like all my heroes tall. Lol. I simply like tall men, like my husband, so…

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 Marie Harte! Writes: Romance with heat, snarky humor, and band of brothers, heroes with low angst. There’s always a happily-ever-after, few tears, and a lot of banter with fun heroines and sexy heroes. Whether it be firefighters in Seattle or vampires taking mates, the romance is always steamy and satisfying. About: Coffee addict who loves all things romance, thinks there are such things as stupid questions, and will never, ever go into a haunted sanitarium after dark or jump off a cliff for fun. A huge fan of work smarter, not harder. Too lazy to research and write historicals. Thought about writing an inspirational love story but got as far as “Oh, God, yes,” in a sex scene and figured that was as inspirational as I could get. What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match for BETWEEN BLOODE AND WATER: Has a snarky sense of humor Loves vampires, especially those who can swim Enjoys the camaraderie of six murderous blood-drinkers annoying one…

1–What is the title of your latest release? WHAT THE FANG?, Undead Ever After Book 1 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? I’ll let Sapphyria’s Book Blog tell you since she does it so well. As a magicless witch cast out from her coven, Willa settles in the one place witches don’t belong. She runs Cauldron Boil Books, a bookstore in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, a city run by vampires. She caters to the reading habits of the undead and had made a couple vampire friends. Willa also manages to fly under the radar. That is, until she doesn’t. Upon closure of the bookstore after an event, Willa finds herself the helpless victim of a vampire attack. When she discovers who saves her, Willa’s world quickly upends. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? For my 40th birthday, I had planned a trip with my best friends to Napa Valley. Sadly, this was when Napa Valley had terrible forest fires across the state. On the advice from our travel agent, we ended up going to Charleston instead, which ended up being a blessing in disguise. I absolutely fell in love with Charleston and…

One of my favorite authors – Marie Harte – gave us an interview talking about her new super spicy paranormal romance series. What can you tell me about your new “Between the Shadows” series? I know the most recent installment – Book 2 in the series – came out December 14th. I know it’s about vampires, and that the first two books got sexy facelifts with awesome new covers. What else? I’m so in love with Between the Shadows! It’s a blend of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. The center of this series is the Night Bloode—a clan of murderous vampires who would normally kill each other, but they’re under a spell to become kin (family). Think snarky, vampire band-of-brothers who meet their match in the women they come to love. The Night Bloode clan has been tapped to work for the goddess, Hecate. (Oh, and they hate gods too. Vampires are really arrogant.) She’s gathered them to fight a coming darkness that has the potential to end everything. Hecate has a plan. Force these vampires to find love and they’ll fight heaven and earth to protect it. Each book is a standalone, yet they build up to an ending…

Vampires. Mythical creatures or really great at hiding in plain sight? It’s definitely the latter, and though records of them have been around for as long as humans could write, we really know so little about this amazing race. Until now! In my new series, THE LIBRARIAN’S VAMPIRE ASSISANT, we discover what is myth and what is real. And as we dive deeper into Michael Vanderhorst’s (our ancient vampire, who works as an assistant librarian) world in book two, not only will he solve a juicy mystery and come to grips with his feelings for a certain librarian, but he will also reveal more shocking secrets about his kind. For example: 1. Vampires DO walk in the sun. It’s true! SEE PROOF HERE! They just really hate it as they are hypersensitive to the rays and the sun forces their bodies to work overtime, healing their skin. Sunscreen helps a little, but as Michael points out, Arizona—where he lives—is no match for SPF 100! Still, poor guy, keeps having to kill people in order to protect his favorite librarian! (She’s a huge danger magnet.) That means more trips to the desert for a little grave digging. SEE HERE! Now that’s a…
