Good Morning Everyone! We are off and running with Raven Hart as our featured author today. Her awesome series, SAVANNAH VAMPIRE, is something I am sure you are all familiar with. The five installments are wonderful reads that everyone should recommend to anyone that hasn’t read them. With winter around the corner, a great series like this, with a hot mug of coffee curled up in your favorite chair would be a wonderful way to spend a couple of “me” hours. Come on now, we all need it once in a while, right? So to help get you started on this series, Ms. Hart has agreed to give away three copies of the first installment, “THE VAMPIRE’S SEDUCTION”. Just become a follower to our blog, and leave a comment telling us what you like to add in that steaming mug of coffee ( tea, or hot chocolate) and your email address. Let us know what spicy sprinkles, or creamy concoctions you use. Even if you just enjoy a simply sweet spoonful of sugar or prefer nothing at all, it doesn’t matter. A random drawing for the winners will be used and winners will be announced tomorrow morning. (Limited to US residents only)

    Here are a few questions we asked Ms. Hart to answer so we could all get to know her a little better.....

      If you were writing these questions to yourself, what would be a question that has never been ask before, and you are busting to tell your fans about?           

                    

      I can’t really think of any question that has gone unasked. I will tell you the most interesting question I ever had from a fan, though. He wanted to know if there was any way he could become a real vampire. I was kind of sorry to have to tell him that I wouldn’t  know where to start looking for one. As far as what I’m busting to tell fans about, I am excited about the werewolf series I’m going to do. As soon as I have time, I’ll get an excerpt ready to post on my web site.

      Which comes first when you explore new ideas, a developing character or and storyline to place him or her in?          

         

     That can go either way. It seems to work better if the ideas spring from the character. I love to brainstorm with people. I have two critique partners who are multi-published, award-winning authors. We were talking about a character in book 6 who’s begging Jack to be made into a vampire. One of my critique partners innocently asked me if I thought this character had an ulterior motive for wanting to become a vampire. From that one question, the three of us came up with a back story for this character that y’all are going to love!   

      How do you write the sex scenes in your books? Do you leave it blank and comeback when you are in the mood, do you go with the flow and just write down what comes to mind, or do you wear a brown paper bag over your head as you pound the keyboard with embarrassment when no one is around.?

      The brown paper bag, definitely! How did you know? I always write a book from first to last. I don’t skip around. When I come to a sex scene or any other scene that’s difficult to write, I just go for it. What’s hard is writing sex from a guy’s point of view. Who knows how guys think? I just know how I want him to think or what would be romantic/funny/scary for him to think—whatever’s necessary. Writing sex scenes is definitely my least favorite thing about the writing process. That and revisions.

      Do you wish that a particular part in one of your books could be different or changed, and if so, do you think this change would have reflected on the outcome of the entire story?

The main thing I wish I hadn’t done is kill off William. (Spoiler alert) I’m bringing him back in book 6, but he won’t be quite the same William. I annoyed a lot of fans by killing him, so I’m trying to make it up to everyone. I have a lot of interesting plans for William in the future. He’s got some very important struggles ahead of him. I think the readers will enjoy his journey. I’m excited about it.

We all are interested in what you have planned for future. Can you tell us more about the werewolf series, or other ideas you have bouncing around?

The werewolf series will star a kick-butt female shape-shifter, a veeery interesting Atlanta vampire, and some monsters the likes of which you’ve never before seen. There are some charming foreign werewolves and cool witches and lots of other surprises. There’s also a murder mystery.

There are a couple of young adult books I want to write as well, but they’re not far enough along to talk about yet.
