Across the Beer Bar with KAREN COTE!!!
Welcome to my beer bar Karen! What can I pour for you to start?
Well, I've learned I need to keep my wits about me around you so I'll take anYou have THE COOLEST blog ever...the whole "tv" thing? that is sweet. How did you come up with it?
LOL. Actually, I started it when I was in real estate and wanted to connect with my clients in a more personal way. It was a good concept but it fit better in my fanciful land of Romantic Suspense and writing world.
The cover of your book Erotic Deception is very hot. Is it your first book?
Yes and thank you. Savannah Safi designed it at MuseItUp Publishing. She is the epitome of an artist with a vision.
Do you write full time? If not, what is the Day Job?
Yes…finally. After years of working in almost everything except what I loved most, thanks to my very own hero, I've been able to stay home and focus on my passion.
Oh look, an empty glass--what can I pour for you next?
Uh…ya gots any spinach dip?Oy. No. This is not a restaurant. We make beer. We serve beer. I have some vendors who bring in food for you to buy (like a pop up restaurant) but otherwise, you are on your own for food. Here...pushes glass across the bar....try my Premium Lager, light, crisp, easy drinking. It's been called a "lawn mower beer" by some...until I bonk them on the head with a bottle.
Tell us a little about the Writers Pen for Charity.
Writers Pen for Charity actually came about when I entered the different yahoo loops and noted how much writers were doing for charities and even offering their work up to support them. Writers Pen + Charity = a good marriage.
You have a superb grasp of what it takes to market books in this fast moving, constantly communicating world. Is marketing your background?
Why--thank you! I'll take that as a huge compliment coming from you. Although I don't have a marketing background, I do feel it's important to bring value and I appreciate the principals and laws behind it. I also feel it's important to be a resource and not a salesperson.
Got a new book coming out soon?
I actually have an anthology out called Writers On the Wrong Side of the Road. My particular short story is a thriller with a title of Seven Deadly Sins. More dark than I normally write. I am currently working on a Romantic Suspense I'm very excited about.
Okay, time for a nightcap--what's your poison.
I'm gonna get daring…hot chocolate with marshmallows sound lovely…hehehe. Thank you so much my dear friend. This was fun and I loved the different questions.Oh dear Lord. Are you people DEAF? BEER BAR...here: gives Karen a small glass. Sip this. It's a bourbon barrel aged stout. Killer. *hot chocolate* Jesus.
Blurb of Erotic Deception:
Her brother was dead. He'd practically raised her and stood by her during a miscarriage that left her barren. He'd been the sole person she'd had left in this world. How had Dr. Lily Delaney with a PhD in Psychology missed the psychotic signs of Anthony Capriccio, the Kansas City District Attorney and her ex-fiancé? Now at twenty-nine she was on the run to hide from the impending threats to her own life. But on the road to a safe secluded lake community, Lily crashes into the path of a new dangerous element, literally. One with deep blue eyes who totes a badge and carries a gun. And would their budding relationship be threatened when Lily finds out her own doctor had lied and discovers she really can have children? How would the sheriff take knowing she'd gotten pregnant when she'd already heartily assured him she wasn't?
After his experience as a detective in Kansas City, Missouri, Jet Walker enjoyed his life as sheriff of the quiet lake community, Windom Hills. However, when Lily Delaney literally crashes into his car and life, his world disrupts into chaos. Couldn't the woman do anything normal? Between fighting to protect her and fighting against his growing attraction for her, the previous peace Jet had found was now falling apart. And how could he possibly trust another woman after the trick his ex-wife played in trying to pass off another man's child as his?
