Today I'm chatting with my friend Tena Stetler, a fellow author with The Wild Rose Press.
Hi, Tena! Tell us a little about yourself, and what kind of books you like to read and write.
I have an over-active
imagination and love magic so writing paranormal romances comes naturally. I penned (okay, penciled) my first vampire
romance at the age of twelve, to the chagrin of my mother and the delight of my
friends. Colorado is home; shared with my husband of many moons, a brilliant
Chow Chow, a spoiled parrot and a forty-year-old box turtle. Any winter evening, you can find me curled up
in front of a crackling fire with a good book, a mug of hot chocolate and a big
bowl of popcorn, if I’m not working on a new novel.
I like to read cozy
mysteries, paranormal romance , science fiction and fantasy. I try not to live in reality too often. My writing passions are paranormal romance,
romantic suspense and cozy mysteries with magic spark.
What's your favorite part of being an author?
Making stuff up.
Telling a story. LOL Seriously…. For me
crafting a romance is all about RESPECT, TRUST and LOVE. Only my characters are of the paranormal
persuasion. I want to create a memorable love story with characters that will
grab hold of your heart, hang on long after you’ve read the last word and
closed the book with a sigh.
What's your approach to
writing? Do you plot or go with the flow?
Definitely go
with the flow. I couldn’t plot my way
out of a paper bag. The couple times
I’ve tried, the characters took off in a different directions before I got to
the second plot point.
If you could have one
superpower, what would it be and why?
The ability
to create calm around and in others.
Seems this world is so fraught with tension and stress, it would be nice
to create a calm for people and yourself, even if it’s only for a little
while.
Tell us about your
new/latest release!
A Demon’s Witch has been out
for a while, but it would make a great Christmas present for people who love an
exciting spicy romance with a happy ending of course.
About the Book:
Keeping a lid on all the paranormal beings inhabiting Washington D.C., is a daunting job. Bruce, a six hundred year old demon and the Territory Overlord of the Western Hemisphere, keeps his finger on the pulse of DC’s power players through the activities at his highly successful Wycked Hair Salon. His movie star good looks and body builder physique keeps his dance card full and the rumor mills running. Within these walls, his anonymity is safe, mostly.Bruce’s world spins out of control when Angelique, a pint size, gorgeous witch, with an attitude breezes through the doors of his salon. She is the younger sister of Tristian, Bruce’s long time trusted enforcer, whose professional skills are second to none. Tristian is furious at the relationship between Bruce and Angelique, a dangerous situation. The undeniable attraction between demon and witch promises to tear apart both their professional and personal worlds.
Excerpt for A Demon’s Witch:
Suddenly, he felt the magic aura
shift and switched his attention to the front door. She breezed in, hair like spun gold flowing to her waist, with a
seductive yet regal body and a sway to her hips that should be illegal even in
DC. She wore a snug rose and cream colored sweater, cut low enough he could see
the swells of her rounded breasts, tailored black slacks that fit her cute ass
like a glove and four-inch spike heels. She paused in the center of the salon,
wet from the sudden spring storm, and lowered the briefcase she’d used as an
umbrella. Her sparkling violet eyes glanced up to the mezzanine where Bruce
stood watching. Blatantly her gaze wandered over his well-muscled body,
undressing him piece by piece, until he felt naked. He shook his head slightly
and smoothed his shirt and slacks with his hand, just to make sure he was still
wearing them.
Okay, you’re casting the
movie version of your novel – who would you choose for the main characters?
We’re talking dream cast.
Julianne Hough
and Joe Manganiello
Yum! Okay... Where can readers find
your book and where can they find you online?

ReplyDeleteThanks for having me. Where did all the comments go? There were several earlier. Huh?
ReplyDeleteThis blurb sounds delightful, Tena! And I love your superpower--it is sorely needed!
ReplyDeleteTina, you already have this super-power! Everyone does! When in a tense, not calm situation, all you have to do is keep quiet, breathe deeply, and let calm be your center. You'd be amazed how much it will calm a situation down, just one person being peaceful. :)
