Interview with Tena Stetler, author of A MAGIC REDEMPTION #spicy #romance #paranormal

Thanks for visiting with me on The Daisy, Tena! Let’s get to know you. Then we’ll take a look at your new book from The Wild Rose Press, A Magic Redemption (A Demon’s Witch Series Book 5).

When did you begin your writer’s journey?

While I’ve written since I was a child and could put pencil to paper, 2015 was the beginning of my journey as a published author. A Demon’s Witch was my debut novel.

How did the idea for this book occur to you?

A Magic Redemption has been in the process for quite some time. Synn the Heroine of the book has wandered in and out of most of the books in A Demon’s Witch Series.

I always knew I’d have to tell Synn’s story, but had to wait until all the pieces fell into place from the other books in the series. I’m super excited to share her incredible adventure and heart-warming story with you now. I certainly hope you enjoy reading A Magic Redemption as much as I did writing Synn’s tale.

Is this book part of a series? If so, what can we expect in the future?

A Magic Redemption is book five in A Demon’s Witch Series. I thought I was finished with the series, but as seems to happen more often than not, my characters unceremoniously informed me that I was wrong. Again. There will be a book six bringing Gale and Dillon’s story to life in the future.

What’s your favorite scene in the book and why?

When Synn rescues the puppy, Storm. Synn struggles with finding her own way in the world, yet saving this tiny puppy brings meaning, understanding, and what it means to have unconditional love to her world.

What drives you to write?

The voices in my head. They won’t be quiet until their story is written.

What are your hopes and dreams for your writing future?

To be the best writer that I can be. For my books whisk readers from their everyday lives into a romantic fantasy adventure if only for a few hours. Of course like all authors, I’d love to make the New York Time’s best seller list. Oh yeah and have my books make into movies. Pretty lofty goals, huh? LOL

Do you have an established writing routine, or do you write as inspiration happens?

My day begins with two hours of promo and social media then onto the work in progress or editing for six hours. I try to take weekends off to spend with family and friends.

What do you do when you’re not writing?

Hiking, kayaking, camping with my hubby. I also spend time in the sunroom with my parrot, Taco, and take my dog, Mystic, for a walk. Our walks relax me and help work out elements in my story that are giving me problems.

Would you describe yourself as an introvert or extrovert?

Extrovert. I love talking to people. The hardest part of being a full time author, is being alone most of the work day. Of course, I have my dog and parrot to talk to and they are great listeners. My parrot is very opinionated and doesn’t hesitate to tell me what she thinks. LOL

What can we expect from you in the future?

I’ll have a new book out early summer, MYSTIC MAPLES, it’s part of the Deerbourne Inn Series. It’s a paranormal romance with elements of time-travel and mystery. I’m also working on the sequel to Charm Me (2016 Candy Hearts novel) and hope to have it out by the end of 2019. Book three in A Witch’s Journey Series and book six in A Demon’s Witch Series are also on the horizon. Audio books for A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance, An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement and A Magic Redemption area also in the pipeline and I can’t wait for everyone to hear them.

A Magic Redemptionby Tena Stetler-now available-Synn, a demon, carries extraordinary magic and power, but there is more within her than she dreams. Kidnapped as a child, her captors murdered her family and forced her into training as a warrior assassin. When an assignment goes horribly wrong, she finds herself at the mercy of the friends and family of her intended target. Offering valuable information in exchange for protection, she gains her freedom, but it is not without its challenges.Gavin Shaughnessy is the publican at his family’s Irish pub. He is certain Synn is meant to be his and isn’t bothered by her past. He must find a way to convince her, their future together is stronger than the dark memories that haunt her dreams.When her past comes calling for revenge, will their love survive the raging inferno she brings down upon them? Or will the searing path of destruction destroy all they hold dear?

Excerpt:

The road to her cottage took them by the pub. He didn’t want to spoil a great day by stopping by Shaughnessy’s. But he had a nagging feeling that was exactly what he was supposed to do. Prior experience taught him nothing but trouble would come if he ignored his gut. “Mind if we stop by the pub on the way home. Storm can stay in the truck for a few minutes. I want to make sure—”

“Everything is all right?”

“Of course it’s all right. I’ve taken time off before.” Gavin bristled. “I had a life before—” He stopped mid-sentence. No way was he going to spoil this day.

She shifted in her seat to face him. “Before what? Me? Before your sister married an assassin? Or Brandy became engaged to a vampire? Before your world came crashing down amid demons, vampires, witches, and world ending shit?” She paused, closed her eyes, and leaned her head against the seat again. “I didn’t mean that. I’ve been on edge since the dream—nightmare—premonition. Call it what you want. Today was a nice reprieve. But when we hit the edge of town—what’d you call ’em—” she tapped her temple. “My spidey senses went off.” She shivered.

He turned on the street behind the pub. The parking lot was full to running over. Weaving through the cars without finding a space, he pulled back onto the road. After circling the block, he parked down the street and cut the engine. “Stay put for a sec.” Gavin stepped out of the truck and surveyed the area. Nothing seemed out of place or unusual.

A slow creak indicated Synn had opened her door. “Stay girl. We’ll be back.” She eased the door closed.

He strode to her side and glared down at her but said nothing. Not looking for a fight.Slipping an arm around her waist, they strolled to front of the pub. He yanked open the heavy wooden door. Friendly voices, raucous laughter, and the yeasty scent of the pub spilled out. Tension eased in his muscles. He released the breath he hadn’t realized he was holding. Synn walked through the door first and froze.

Seated at the bar were Hannah and Tristian. Synn sucked in a breath. This was bad, she could feel it. “Looks like your sister and her husband have come for a visit.”
