The HEA Lover: Linda can you please tell us a bit about yourself?

Linda: Well, I’ve been a cashier, a gas station attendant, a retail associate, a restaurant hostess, a college student, a Marketing Director for a realty company, but fulfilling my dream of being a published author blows all that away! I like rock-n-roll, Star Trek, and Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout beer. Oh, and I doodle dragons when I’m bored.

The HEA Lover: Describe a typical day of writing? Are you a planner or pantser?

Linda: There is a ritual to go through before I start…I brew a cup of decaf Kahlua Crème coffee, add …

Book Blurb:

They’ll never see her coming. . . .

When Evangeline Stone wakes up naked and bruised on a cold slab at the morgue—in a stranger’s body, with no memory of who she is and how she got there—her troubles are only just beginning. Before that night she and the two other members of her Triad were the city’s star bounty hunters, mercilessly cleansing the city of the murderous creatures living in the shadows, from vampires to shape-shifters to trolls. Then something terrible happened that not only cost all three of them their lives but also convinced the city’s other Hunters that Evy was a traitor—and she can’t even remember what it was.

Now she’s a …

Interview with Author Julie Kagawa

We are really happy and excited to have Julie Kagawa here with us today, author of the Iron Fey series, which includes The Iron King, Winter’s Passage (read my review of it later today), and the upcoming The Iron Daughter. I was lucky enough to have already read The Iron Daughter which is going to be released July 27th, so most of the questions center around that…

The YA Lover: In The Iron Daughter, Meghan grows from what I can only call a meek, timid, shy girl willing to “go with the flow” to a strong ray of light, blinding and ever present in her resolve, love and determination; did you mirror her after anyone in your life or is she perhaps a melting pot of amazing qualities those around you possess? JK: Meghan was actually the hardest character …
