Ask an Author Week #7: Terry Irene Blain

Question: If you could meet any author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

Terry Irene Blain: Janice Holt Giles or Elsworth Thane. Both wrote wonderful series that entranced me as a young reader. And yes, they are historical novels, but each had strong romantic thread.

Kentucky Green: Journeying to her childhood home of Kentucky, April Williamson allows nothing to deter her. Certainly not Dan McKenzie who’s duty bound to escort her. Dan believes the frontier of 1794 is no place for women. But in spite of their mutual attractions, a dark secret in his past means April cannot be his.

Ask an Author Week #7: Carrie Lofty

Question: If you could meet any author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

Carrie Lofty: Shakespeare among the dead folks because--c'mon! The Bard! We might need a translator and he'd probably be a complete git, but it'd be fun. Among the living, I'd go with Ian McEwan because his work inspires me, frightens me, and makes me think I'll never ever be good enough. I love that humbling experience, and I'd love to talk with him about his perspective on being a creative person.

Born in California, raised in Indiana, Carrie found the love of her life in England. What a Scoundrel Wants, the hot, adventurous tale of Will Scarlet and his dangerous lady love, was a 12/08 Zebra Debut. Scoundrel’s Kiss will follow in 01/10, featuring a warrior monk and an opium addict.

Ask an Author Week #7: Donna Alward

Question: If you could meet any author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

Donna Alward: I’d like to have dinner with Jane Austen, the Brontes, Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot. They were true trailblazers as women and romantic authors. But in present day – I’d love to meet LaVyrle Spencer. I developed my love of romance novels from reading her books, I have them all and have read them so many times some of them are falling apart. I re-read her final novel, Then Came Heaven, last year, and seriously if I could write one book that fantastic, emotional, and beautiful before I die I think I will have achieved something great.


Donna Alward is an award-winning Canadian author for Harlequin Romance. Her next release is HIRED: THE ITALIAN’S BRIDE, available in June 2009. You can catch up with her on her site (www.donnaalward.com) or blog (www.donnaalward.blogspot.com ).

Ask an Author Week #7: Bess McBride

Question: If you could meet any author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

Bess McBride: Georgette Heyer...just to meet her and ask her about how she created the Regency world of fiction. 

College teacher Ellie Standish thinks she’s on a sleek modern train heading to a conference on women’s studies in Seattle, but she awakens from a night’s doze to find herself on a bizarre historical train full of late Victorian era reenactors who refuse to come out of character. When the leader of the group—one handsome, green-eyed Robert Chamberlain—finally convinces her the date is indeed 1901, a skeptical Ellie decries any eccentric theories of time travel and presumes she is smack dab in the middle of a very interesting historical dream. She turns the directorial reins of her dream over to one smitten and willing Robert, only to realize that dreams cannot last forever. Someday, she must wake up to reality, though Ellie no longer has any idea what reality is. She only knows that Robert must play an important part in her future. But how can he...if he’s only a figment of her imagination or worse yet...a man who belongs to an era long past?

Ask an Author Week #7: Sherry Lewis

Question: If you could meet any author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

Sherry Lewis: Of authors of non-fiction, I’d choose David McCullough because his work has touched me so deeply. I’m going to cheat here and give an answer for authors of fiction, too because I’d love to meet Mark Twain. My grandmother was a genealogy buff, and she told me many times before she died that Samuel Clemens was a distant cousin. I love his sense of humor and the jabs he takes at society. I’d love the chance to sit down over dinner and talk to him.

Sherry is the multi-published author of contemporary and time-travel romance, and of traditional mystery. When she’s not writing or talking on the phone with her incredibly beautiful, intelligent and gifted grandchildren, she can be found teaching writing classes online.

Ask an Author Week #7: Kate Alister

Question: What genre (if any) have you always dreamed of writing but haven't found the time and/or inspiration to write?

Kate Alister: I would love to meet Steven King. More than just meet him, I would love to know him as a friend. He has the most creative mind of any author I've ever read. I've read everything that was avaible to read. I especially liked his Gunslinger series. When there was a long lapse of time continuing it, I could really understand his dilemma. The last book was so incredibly good, I couldn't figure out how he could possibly end the series. Bringing himself into the stories was brilliant in my opinion, and I loved the ending of the series. Twenty years of my life was devoted to the Gunslinger. Steven has a way of drawing the reader into his world, stange, unfamiliar and scary as it is, that in my opinion, as no other author has ever had.

Ask an Author Week #7: Patricia Sargeant

Question: If you could meet any author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

I am not entirely sure what that means, but I'm sure he would laugh and get it.

Ask an Author Week #7: Ingela F. Hyatt

Question: If you could meet any author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

Ingela F. Hyatt: I think I would need to write a whole article to answer this question properly, because I can't choose just one author. But I'll try to keep this short. For those authors who are dead...Shakespeare, of course. His plays inspired me to embrace literature, particularly Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, and my favorite, Hamlet. Charles Dickens whose life and writings are utterly amazing, and it would be a thrill to meet him. J.R.R. Tolkien for Lord of the Rings--the ultimate fantasy adventure which my mother read to me over and over again when I was a child. I think it is the reason I have such a vivid imagination. I would like to ask Mr. Tolkien what inspired him to write such a masterpiece. And I would have loved to have met Katherine E. Woodiwiss. I was deeply effected by her passing in 2007 (as many writers and readers). Her romances were so beautifully crafted and inspired a whole legion of authors. I wish I could have told her what her books meant to me.

Of the living...well, there are a whole slew of authors I would love to meet in person, and some of whom I've been lucky enough to converse with online. I've even developed friendships with some. I would love to meet: Teresa Medeiros, Jo Beverley, Bertrice Small, Gaelen Foley, Virginia Henley, Karen Marie Moning, Nicole Jordan, Liz Carlyle, Dean Koontz, James Patterson, Stephen King, Mary Balogh, Eloisa James, and Cheryl Holt...just to name a few. 

He is a desperate prisoner escaped from the dungeons... She is his beautiful and daring captive... Will his passion kill again?

Imprisoned by his look-alike cousin, Lord Reynard de Fauconer escapes with the aid of beautiful Lady Rianna de Termonde, come to marry the imposter Baron Rothwell. Desperate to escape his cousin's wrath, Reynard kidnaps Rianna realizing, though unbeknownst to her, he is her true betrothed, becoming infuriated when she does not recognize him. Racing across England, they fight brigands, hidden foes, and a love so passionate it threatens to destroy them both.

Cesca Marinelli is on an afterlife high until a budding stand-up comic, Jo-Jo the Jester, escapes from his Atlanta nest looking for sanctuary. With a psychotic vampire in the wings, and a plague knocking off the country’s head vamps, Cesca must unravel the mystery even it kills her. Again.

Ask an Author Week #6: Ingela F. Hyatt

Question: What genre (if any) have you always dreamed of writing but haven't found the time and/or inspiration to write?

Ingela F. Hyatt: Good question. When I first began writing, I never dreamed I'd want to write anything other than Medieval Romance. Then I discovered the Georgian Era and I haven't looked back. I'd love to write romances set in ancient Egypt and feudal Japan, but those are still historicals, of course. Recently though, I've become obcessed with Paranormal Romance. I can't seem to read enough, and I have several Paranormal series crowding my thoughts. One series in particular is just dying to get out and I'm hoping I'll find the time and inspiration soon---I can't wait to write it! There's just something about Vampires that gets the blood flowing...
