Featured - Author Interview with June Moonbridge - RACING HEART Tour
Author Interview with June Moonbridge 1) What do you like most and least about being a writer?What I like most about being a writer is to get lost in completely different stories from my own and get those stories out of my head on a paper to share it with others. I know that sounds a little bit crazy, but you don’t wish to know what kind of dreams I had that time that I didn’t write. Geez…
What I like least about being a writer is – I still have to work for a living, to provide for my family along with my husband. I could make an excuse that I’m just at the beginning of my writer’s career, but… that’s life.
2) Your book “Racing Heart” revolves around F1. Are you a fan of Formula 1 racing and do you like driving fast cars?
Oh yes, I am fan of Formula 1 racing for a long, long time now. Perhaps I was bigger in the past when not so many rules that ‘killed’ the joy of watching the race were involved (like so many times changed the scoring), when not just the ‘old’ bunch of drivers were on the scene but also the leading teams’ men behind the whole thing.
As per driving fast cars – that too. Perhaps I was lucky enough to work for twelve years for a Renault dealer company and every time new or improved model came out – we had tryouts and comparison with all other cars too. I had driven in the past so many different cars I’m pretty sure I’m not able to count them all down.
One of my still unfulfilled wish is to be able to attend (read: afford ;)) the Aston Martin on Ice – Lapland – “a breathtaking opportunity to hone your skills on challenging courses under the expert guidance of our professional driving instructors’ – as is written on their official page – of which I’m a frequent visitor, I have to admit.
3) What inspired the story?
Formula 1 races inspired the story. I was attending San Marino Grand Prix in Imola years back, and somehow everything fitted together perfectly.
4) Did you have to do a lot of research for your book? How did you do it?
Hmmm… researches… Following the Formula 1 for a really long time and at one time I had also an idea to get the race into our country, I had studied the complete manuscript what was needed (then) to be able to apply for it, so I had – let say – basic insight into the thing. The other researches I did while I wrote – internet, books, news, even visited some of the places mentioned in the book. Not really important ones as during the years some of the races were taken out (like San Marino Grand Prix), some were taken out and put back in (like the one in Zeltweg – or as it’s know now: Red Bull Ring) … but some smaller one, that are just mentioned in it.
5) Any hidden talents or crazy facts about you?
Hidden talents: umm… no. Although my daughter would disagree with this; she thinks I’m some sort of grey witch. I always know when she does something wrong… (giggle) Well, looking this way, it can be taken as a crazy fact too.
6) What really gets your heart racing?
Seeing my son’s every day progress, no matter how small it is, knowing that my daughter is doing well, my OH’s love…
7) Tell us about the one thing you can’t write without.
Oops… not just one. There are two; coffee and music. As I’m basically for all my life more of a night owl and not an early bird (life tries to make me be one) I definitely need more than one MUG of coffee and when I actually sit down at the computer, I need background music. I can’t write in silence. Well, I can’t work in silence. When I was offered a job years back one of the reasons why I declined it was also the fact that I wouldn’t be allowed to listen to the music/radio/cd…
I can be silent (most people would disagree), but I need background sounds to be able to work or write.
8) Do you have any advice for (aspiring) authors?
Write when you have time and you feel like writing. Don’t be afraid if it happens that you don’t write a single word for a week. Don’t think of it as a writer’s block. I was reading all about it how you should be writing every day, how you should be writing every day at least one page, or a 1000 words, or… let say first draft in a month. To be honest with the way my life is turning there is no way I can do that. You have to be able to see your possibilities and write according to them.
9) What was the hardest part about writing your historical romance “The Lion’s Embrace”?
The hardest thing about writing Racing heart was getting back the notes from my editor. She did liked the story, but you know – it doesn’t matter how you’re ready for constructive criticism, it gets you… at least it got me for a few days. I reread it several times and only then I saw that the comments had its points.
10) What are you currently working on?
Currently I’m working on another contemporary romance far away from ‘professional sport’ and set in completely different culture. I’m hoping to finish it in a month or so… My deadline – till August is long gone, but as life is dynamic so must be my deadlines… Life and my son taught me that.
About the Book Desiree Hart in desperate search for her kidnapped son, does everything in her power possible to find him. Due to a letter she receives after official search was closed, she changes everything; her appearance, her hometown and even her name.When she meets Lorcan Shore, the Five Times F1 World Campion, their encounter is everything but ordinary. Out of pure fear for her life, she loses her temper and spits over everything he is absolutely certain he can do the best; how to drive.
Leaving him alone on Grand Corniche she is certain she would never see him again. But the next morning proves her being totally wrong. He was no quitter and no matter how she tries to run and hide, her heart desires at the end come back to the surface…
Will the man of her dreams be able to fulfil them all? Including the most important will he help her find her missing son?

About the Author The person behind the name of June Moonbridge, has many names and many faces too. Although living in the same area, she was born and raised in one country and now living in another.She studied economics, and quickly realised she hated it. Afterwards, she found herself working in mainly male businesses; at first in automotive and later - steel products productions. She can choose for you the best steel you need, but don't, please don't, ask her which lipstick to use.
She started to write in her high school and was negatively criticised by her teacher. Stubborn as she is that didn't stop her. Under different pen names for her stories she tried to get some independent opinions, which came back as good reviews in magazines and later she published three books.
Giving birth to two children, and learning that her second child has Autism, she married the father of them and continued to work. All that together took all of her free time. But the desire to write didn't die. When life somehow sorted itself out, she decided to write her novel in English and her first submission to Safkhet was rejected…
For what happened later… read third paragraph, second sentence.

Two M&Bs (His Captive Indian Princess, 2013 and His Runaway Royal Bride, 2014) later she is currently working on her third book. Strength, kindness, honesty, optimism and love were drilled into her as a child by her parents and the first M&B that she read made her realize that these were exactly what romance novels were about! So, writing a romance novel was both emotionally and morally satisfying!

The Story:
For Laksha, life is a gift wrapped in red ribbon. But that’s all shattered when she falls for the misogamist. His ambivalence and vacillation always keeps her at bay, turning her into a neurotic. She gets betrayed by the most credible, loses her job, feels devastated and dejected as incidents crowd upon her corrupting her naiveté.
Enigmas unfold revealing every glitch. Who will clear her blurred skies? What invigorates her career and life? Will she ever forgive her beloved? And how will Laksha survive?
The story also revolves around her rapport with Pallavi, a childhood friend and the relationship she has with her silver-tongued mom. Focusing on how experiences change perception of little things, this contemporary tale gives a better meaning to friendships, relationships, solitude, pain, compassion and success.
More often than not, Life drags you down to the adversities and thrusts outward to shine. It is your grit that truly matters when you reach rock bottom, and left with no choice other than to pick yourself up and leap forward, however arduous it may be!

About the author in her own words: I was shook by a lot of obstacles and unfamiliar, disturbing and ridiculous days that was not really favorable. I took a break, a long break, to realize that I don't want to be a software developer anymore but something of my interest.
What is my interest? - I had the answer, already, but I was hesitating for a while.
Then came the man of my life, my dad, he handed over my life's key and told, "Go, live your life," :) No U turn from then on!!!! :)
I loved reading and that was a part of my everyday chores, I wanted to write for a long time, there were days where my dairy would have half-written stories. Somehow, I stepped into Content writing, slowly moved into blogging and finally I thought it's high-time to write my Novel. It all started with "I don't wear Sunscreen." The title took sometime like a child birth, but was an enchanting and blissful.
Not to forget, Business Analyst by profession, and I love that too!

Author: Ann McGinnis

The Story:
FBI Analyst Caycee Scarlet is back on the trail of another ruthless serial killer, and doing it the wrong way – her way.
Bombing suspect Carl Hicks continues to evade the FBI, but his interest in Caycee heats up. He sends her a love letter, prompting the FBI to place her into protective custody and use an agent as a double to draw Hicks out. The bomber isn’t fooled.
Hating being sidelined, Caycee realizes Hicks may not be a threat when he finds her safe house and reveals his ulterior motive. He’s on a mission – to save Caycee from his dangerous ex-wife Siobhan – who is killing her bloodline to eliminate the Killer Gene. Unbeknownst to everyone but Siobhan’s twisted mind, Caycee holds the key to finding the source of the gene. And the source has a deadly legacy – it’s the notorious Zodiac Killer.
The clever FBI Analyst wants back in the game but her boss, and lover, Agent Gil Graham, is reluctant to expose her to the evil of two serial killers. After all, Caycee’s an analyst not an agent! It causes her to rely more on Hicks, and question which man is her true soul mate – the protector or the trickster? The answer lies somewhere along the trail of iconic 40-year-old murders, and Caycee’s ability to uncover the truth. If she fails, she’ll be the Zodiac Killer’s latest victim.

About The Author
Ann McGinnis
Ann McGinnis writes about characters that let their egos and sense of justice rule their lives, while they protect the public from serial killers and unthinkable crimes. Of course, Ann's characters always find a way to blow off steam -- romantically!
As a writer, Ann comes from the world of action/thrillers and screenwriting. She has two scripts currently in development. A third script, about a spunky FBI analyst, is the basis of "Scarlet Revenge" and the main character Caycee Scarlet. "Scarlet Envy" is the second book in the Scarlet Suspense Series.

Tornado Giveaway 2: Book 84: TELL A THOUSAND LIES by Rasana Atreya

Name of the Book: TELL A THOUSAND LIES
Author: Rasana Atreya
Read some reviews:
1. Ruchi Singh

The Story:
In a land where skin colour can determine one's destiny, fraternal twins PULLAMMA and LATA are about to embark on a journey that will tear their lives apart. Dark skinned Pullamma dreams of being a wife. With three girls in her family, the sixteen year old is aware there isn't enough dowry to secure suitable husbands for them all. But a girl can hope. She's well versed in cooking, pickle making, cow washing -- you name it. She's also obliged her old-fashioned grandmother by not doing well in school. Fair skinned and pretty, her twin sister Lata would rather study medicine than get married. Unable to grasp the depth of Lata's desire, the twins' Grandmother formalizes a wedding alliance for the girl. Distraught, Lata rebels, with devastating consequences. As Pullamma helps ready the house for her older sister Malli's bride viewing, she prays for a positive outcome to the event. What happens next is so inconceivable that it will shape Pullamma's future in ways she couldn't have foreseen. TELL A THOUSAND LIES is a sometimes wry, sometimes sad, but ultimately realistic look at how superstition and the colour of a girl's skin rules India's hinterlands.

About The Author
Rasana Atreya
Rasana is the author of Amazon bestseller 'Tell A Thousand Lies', which was also shortlisted for the 2012 Tibor Jones South Asia award. UK’s Glam magazine calls this novel one of their five favourite tales from India (June 2014). Her other works are 'The Temple Is Not My Father' and '28 Years A Bachelor'.
Now on to more personal stuff – Rasana would like to be able to tell her readers that she once stopped a robbery single-handedly, except she’s terrified of robbers. And geckos. And two-year-olds who throw tantrums. When she’s not running scared, she’s mother to a girl and a boy who were respectively six and eleven years-old when they wrote and illustrated 'The Mosquito and the Teapot'. She lives with her husband and children in Hyderabad, India, where a lot of her stories are set.
