Hello C. E.! Thank
you so much for visiting Written Butterfly with me today! It’s such a pleasure to chat with you. So tell me…
Q) How did you dream up the dynamics of your characters?
I was talking to one
of my best friends about writing a romance. I wanted to see a romance between
two very different people, and I couldn’t think of anything more different than
an ex-military-contractor-turned-bodyguard and a ballerina.
Q) Can you give a
fun or interesting fact about your book?
I interviewed a private military
contractor, a bodyguard, a detective, and a lawyer for this book… My friend, Katie, is a ballet dancer,
so it was easy to pick her brain and spend time with her.
Q) What gave
you the inspiration for your book?
Katie would tell me about her younger dancing
life. The intensity, drive, and dedication it takes to be a full-time ballerina
is certainly inspiring. I wanted to write about that for awhile, and then I saw
the dancers of Flesh and Bone (a show on Starz) and decided to write my ideas
out.
Q) Do you plan all your characters out before you start a
story or do they develop as you write?
I plan out as many
characters as possible- some get added later. I write down as much information
about them as I can- even if it doesn’t make it into the story. Description is
one thing, but I’ll even go as far as figuring out their favorite cereal.
Q) What are your upcoming projects?
I’m starting another
romance, as well as polishing an urban fantasy and a sci-fi thriller.
Blurb
As the prima ballerina for a prominent San Francisco
ballet company, Scarlet Rush is used to being on her toes- but after a failed
kidnapping attempt, even her nimble feet aren’t enough to keep her out of reach
of her rivals. Begrudgingly, she’s forced into the protective services of Alex
Strong, a former private military contractor turned bodyguard. Scarlet isn’t thrilled
to have Alex follow her every move, but as hidden dangers rise, she has no
choice but to trust him.
Soon, Scarlet and Alex find themselves passionate partners
in a dance all their own. Alex is captivated by Scarlet and knows he must
protect her at all costs despite the pain of past demons still haunting him.
