Today,I am featuring an interview with KevaD, author of"Desire Damned" and "A Dance with Bogie and Bacall,"available from Noble Romance Publishing.
Blurbs:

For thousands of yearsthe two men have been doomed to a life of torment. While one walks the earth,the other suffers under the devil's lash. Their only respite is an occasionalnight; a random, beautiful, love-filled night, knowing that with the dawn oneof them must die in battle and return to Satan's wrath.
On the war-torn fieldsof Gettysburg the two lovers are reunited once again. But this time somethingbeyond Hell's reach has happened. Something so wondrous, Satan may finally gethis wish.

Maureen and Frank Johnsonshared the kind of romance most people believe only exists in movies. Until aballroom fire took Maureen's life.
Franci Johnson grew uphearing her grandparents' love story a thousand times and wishes to find thekind of undying love Frank and Maureen had once upon a time.
DJ Scott Kincaid justwants the ghost following him to go away. But Maureen thinks the hunky DJ mightbe just the answer to her granddaughter's dreams.
Welcome,KevaD.
Many thanks for having mehere, Brita.
I'm thrilled you stopped by and as a Civil War buff AND a huge fan of Bogie and Bacall, I'm definitely reading these two stories.
Glad I struck a chord with you! Now, I'd like to add a bonus for your readers.I'll give away a $10 Noble Romance Publishing gift certificate to a commenterI'll randomly select.
Thank sounds great! Shall we get started?
Whatmakes your writing unique?A really good question. Ithink it's that I'm not one who chooses the path less traveled – I make my ownpath. My mind writhes in stories I want to tell. I see inspiration everywhere.
Recently, I developed anentire storyline from the curve of a woman's brow in a picture. I wasfascinated. In her brow I saw her desire to please her current lover at thesacrifice of her own untapped needs, and her unshared fantasy of a man strongenough not to just unleash the woman inside her, but capable of understandingthat woman. Hers is a heart captured, but not yet earned, and it will take avery special man to compete for the right to uncover her true sexual cravings.
A haggard man drinking acup of coffee alone at a table in a crowded restaurant inspired another storyI'll start soon. In my mind, I saw the last of the anti-society activists fromthe 1960s. Pursued by the FBI for decades, he's tired, aged, and ready tosurrender, but he has one last public statement to make – one that will foreverchange the lives of several people in a small town.
Haveyou ever written to music?Absolutely. For "ADance with Bogie and Bacall" I played Bertie Higgins's Key Largo until my wife curled up on thefloor and begged me to stop. After that I turned down the volume. To set themood for my current work in progress I listen to Rod Stewart's Broken Arrow. The video's awesome. Itused to be one of my wife's favorites. Used to be.
Howdo you deal with criticism?Constructive criticismneeds to be listened to, and I always pay very strict attention to the comments.Then there's destructivecriticism, the kind meant to insult and make the critic appear humorous orintelligent – it never does. To me, destructive criticism just shows the personneeds a hobby, and maybe a life.
Whatgenre do you write mostly and what appeals to you most about your genre?Everything I write - beit comedy, suspense, mystery, or horror - contains a love story somewhere.Someone will fall in love. I insist on it. I love love with all its beauty,dangers, warmth, and heartache. I'm addicted to happy endings.
Whatdo you enjoy reading the most?Anything withwell-constructed characters and a clever plot. Seriously. There are so manyfantastic stories out there, and I don't want to miss a single one by limitingmyself to one or two genres.
Whatare you reading now? I just finished"Gangsters, Harlots, & Thieves: Down and Out at the HotelClifton." The book is a compilation of Todd Moore's gut-punching poems andessays about his childhood growing up in a low-rent, deteriorating hotel withan alcoholic gangster father who did odd jobs for the Capones. Honest to God,the book is like watching an old film noire movie. It's an incredible book puttogether by Todd's son, Theron Moore.
Tellus about your latest releases?"A Dance with Bogieand Bacall" is a delightful little story of two people stumbling throughlife, and the ghost bent on bringing them together."Desire Damned"is an erotic and dramatic tale of two men doomed for eternity and the sacrificeone will make to ensure the safety of the people he loves.
Whatare you working on next?"Hearts on a PaperBoat" is the story of two broken lives whose paths cross. After fourteenyears in prison for a murder he was convicted of while seventeen, LaytonLanders isn't sure he can make it out here in a world totally foreign to him.Hannah Preston, pregnant with her dead lover's child, is only living becauseshe has to – for her baby. Until she realizes that despite Landers's claim tothe contrary, Landers didn't commit the murder.Only by uncovering theirpasts can they find their futures.
Whoare your favorite authors?Whoever I'm currentlyreading. I'm a really tough audience, and for an author to hold my attention tothe last page requires some seriously good writing. But like I said earlier, Ienjoy any genre, so I don't tend to read more than two or three books by anyone author.
Isthere anything you'd like to tell your readers?Thank you, thank you,thank you!! The readers keep me seeking that next story and putting it intowords. You are my true inspiration. Without you to enjoy my mental instability,my wife would have committed me long ago.
