Hello me hearties! Yes, I don't know why I feel a bit like a pirate today - but never you mind! Look who came to visit us today! 

Sonnet is a published author with Eternal Press and you can find all her beautiful work there! So, grab a cuppa, let us meet with this phenomenal writer!
{I also have it on good Authority that Mistakenly Mated is by far the Hot Seller for this Author, so pick it up today and let me know will ya?!}

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written/want to write?
I've been writing since I was a kid and over the years I find my brain gets more and more lost in worlds of fantasy. I have currently written seventeen books, thirteen published, two yet to be released, one rejected and a new one ready to submit soon. I honestly don't see my stopping any time soon :)

Me: My word! 17 books is not to be scoffed at, and I am happy to hear you're not nearly done!

What Genre do you write, and what genre do you enjoy reading
I try to keep my genre's open though I do find myself far more attracted to paranormal and crime. Romance finds its way in there too sometimes.

Me: I had to chuckle, I think romance is a bit sneaky - it happens to get into just about everything!

What is the name of your latest book/s and what inspired it?
I currently have two books waiting to be edited. The Eighth book in my Cassandra Farbanks Series called Venetian Moon and a YA called The Demon's Bayou. The Demon's Bayou was inspired by a level in a computer game with an abandoned town. Venetian Moon however was inspired by my last trip to Venice during the carnival. Vampires in masks, that’s all I'm really going to day about that one ;)

Me: Venice is a very popular setting for Vampires in masks - how exciting! I love the Y/A reads too, only recently started on that as it was introduced by my friend and fellow Author S.J. Hermann!

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to do it alone and sometimes to music.

Me: Another one who uses music! YAY!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I could name a ton of books that have influenced me but I suppose the most influencing was Laurell K Hamilton and her Anita Blake books. I started writing fan fiction for that and some of the comments about my OC's gave me the boost I needed to bring stories of my own to life. I can never thank that community enough.

Me: I loved LOVED the Vampire Hunter series!

What are you working on now?
I've just finished a manuscript for a book called Kris. It’s the first book of three in The Clock-Watcher Trilogy. I've just started doing the prep work for the next book. However I have several other projects on the go, a couple of Paranormal Romances and the next book in the Cassandra series.

Me: It is always so inspiring to hear how much others are doing, and it makes me feel a bit lazy LOL, how come I can only ever focus on one book at a time? *cries*

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think I'm pretty bad at promoting. I never know what to do or say and I hate the idea of constantly reposting the same bit about my books over and over again. I see it all the time with certain authors and worry that people must get tired of seeing it.

Me: I hear you - it takes a certain mentality to do marketing and sales!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up. You will never know how close to achieving your dream you were if you do.

Me: I like this too, and it is solid logic! Thank you!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write what you know. I once wrote a piece that got rejected from a major publishing house because the agent could tell I had never been to New York although I'd a story there. I tend now to either make up towns from scratch or use places that I know really well.

Me: Very good advice given, but I would add to that: If you don't know it, learn and research. 

What are you reading now?
I'm actually not really. I just got back from a two week sabbatical in which I did read at least fifteen books of different length though.

Me: LOL! Oh there is no shame in taking a break from reading - in fact, one probably would enjoy it all the more when you DO curl up with that lovely book!

What’s next for you as a writer?
Who knows but I do love surprises.

Me: Oh gorsh I hate suprises - can we swap?! 

Tell us something very few people don't know about you!
I'm a diabetic and a chocoholic.

Me: Now that is just Murphy's Law!

What is your favorite book of all time?
I could no more look up into the sky and pick a favourite star.

Me: LOVE this answer, and very well said!
