Who is Jianne Carlo?
-What is your writing day like?
I wake up every morning at 4:30 – I know it's crazy. But I had three sons in less than 5 years, and after a while early morning before everyone woke up was the only time I could call my own. I write from 4:30 to 7:30, then the day job takes over. If the dh is watching sports (the only thing he doesn't follow is basketball), I write and keep an eye on the game for a couple of hours after dinner.
-If you could be any animal what would it be?
This will show my age, but did you ever see those Esso Tiger in a Tank ads? I fell in love with big cats from the minute I first saw that ad. I lived in Trinidad at the time and we didn't have a tiger until I was about 9. We received a pair who mated and had cubs, and the mother rejected one. The vet I volunteered at was charged with taking care of the rejected cub, and I fed the gorgeous cat until he was weaned. Amazing.
-What is your favorite color?
White.
-What is your shoe size?
5
-How many pieces of jewelry do you wear on a daily basis?
I feel naked without earrings, a necklace, and at least one bracelet. Can't stand rings though.
-Have you ever gone commando (no underwear)?
Long before there was a term for it J
-Do you think there is a difference between making love and having sex?
Oh yeah. And I think it's possible to do both with the same man, and regularly do so J
-What is your current project?
I'm working on two books:
The Demon Seed – a contemporary, multicultural, suspense, with BDSM elements
The Seducer and The Concubine's Daughter – an erotic Viking tale
-Do you have any series out? If so what is it about?
I am working on two series right now – The Viking Warriors and The Hades Squad
Viking Warriors is about five brothers who serve King Cnut and are rewarded for their loyalty and bravery with wives who, in most cases, they've never met. Book#3 in this series The Peacemaker was released in June.
The Hades Squad are a band of ex-SEAL paratroopers who own a security firm specializing in maritime security. Because they performed as the Hades Squad, each of them have a 'devil' nickname: Devil, Demon, Lucifer, Sinner, and Satan. Deviant Devil, the third book in the series comes out on August 23rd from Loose-Id.
-Why did you choose your particular publisher/s to go with?
My first book was accepted by three publishers and won a publishing contest, but I really loved one editor that I had been working with during revisions and ultimately went with Loose-Id for Manacled in Monaco. That editor, by the way, was the fabulous Georgia Woods.
My other publishers invited me to write for them.
- Do you have a day job? If so what do you do?
A very hectic day job - I implement financial computer systems for a major, major, software publisher
