What do you like best about being a writer?
I love writing the story. I love the characters. I’m constantly amazed on how the characters communicate their story. I love meeting amazing authors and readers.
What's your least favorite part of the writing process?
My least favorite part of writing is editing, lol.
When did you start writing? What inspired you?
I recall reading a book when I was young and thinking that I can write a love story. I especially thought about writing when I didn't like the ending a story.
What has been the toughest criticism you've ever received? What is the biggest compliment?
I truly have not had a tough criticism, lol. I attempt to take all criticism as constructive. The biggest compliment was I love your book and I want to read the next one.
Do you have any advice for those authors just beginning this journey?
I would advise fellow writers to be proud of their work and to own it. We all make mistakes. I have read several books that had some mistakes. There will always be people that will love it and people that will hate it. You will meet awesome fellow writers and readers that will make your day, lol
How many books have your written? Do you have a favorite?
My first novel is Hot & Spicy. I also was compelled to write the De la Cruz Saga. The saga is about the twelve cousin’s love story. The cousin’s stories interlocked. Hot & Spicy is the first book of a twelve novel series. The other eleven novels in the series were written concurrently. I have nine of the novels in the series approximately three quarters completed. The second novel is Hot & Forbidden that was released in October 2012.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on my fourth book Hot & Wild.
Can you tell us about your upcoming release(s)?

What's a typical writing day like?
I love to start to write in the mornings with a cup of coffee. I don’t like to have noise and distractions, but my family does like to visit, lol.
Are you a plotter or a pantser? A combination?
I start off with a rough outline and timeline of the story. I believe this would be a plotter, lol. Ahh, but I’m mostly a pantster. I’m a pantster because I then allow the story to flow out. The characters direct the story. I type away, lol. I believe that I’m a combination.
Which comes first - the plot or the characters?
The characters and plot comes to me together in my dreams. The characters direct their story.
Tell us something about yourself that others might find surprising.
I have been working for the same company for thirty-one years. I have been married to the same man for thirty-one years. My job is to write estimates on damaged vehicles.
Complete this sentence:
When I want to kick back and relax, I take a shower, get some coffee and read a book, lol.

No I have not suffered from writer’s block, lol. I have been busy with the De La Cruz Saga. I need time to finish it.
What are you reading now?
I'm not reading a book right now. Don't I wish lol. I'm too busy to read writing my saga.
What is your favorite movie? Why?
My favorite move is Titanic because of the time period, the romance, and the action.
What inspired you to write?
It all began with a dream. I dreamed my story over and over again. I decided to write these novels after several weeks of dreaming about all of these characters. The characters truly motivated me to write their stories, lol. They wouldn't leave me alone. I started brainstorming and organizing it into outlines. I developed each character’s personalities, interests, and personal love story. I wrote the De La Cruz Saga that is a twelve novel series.
Hot & Enchanting: De La Cruz Saga by P.T. Macias
The hot-blooded saga of the De La Cruz familia and their fortunes is centered on romantic relationships of the explosively passionate nature.
The first novels in the series are Hot & Spicy ~ The bachelor that wars the Mexican cartel to protect his amor, familia, and fortune. Hot & Forbidden ~ Star-crossed lovers break taboos and fight against the chains that bind their amor.
Hot & Enchanting~ Ricardo Emmanuel De La Cruz is the sexy alpha playboy of la familia and is an attorney. He’s one of the managers in the familia’s company. He’s constantly having fun with all of the chicas that chase him. They have been chasing him his entire life.
Ricky literally runs into Jacqueline Cortez in the hallway. She’s a bella, shy, and quiet certified public accountant that works for the familia. Jacqueline turns his world upside down.
Jacqueline Cortez has been in love with Ricardo her entire life. She never dreamed that running into him would unleash the amor that she locked up. Jacki had lost hope of ever catching his eye.
Will she be able to outrun Ricardo and avoid being his next conquest? How long can Jacqueline resist Ricardo’s attention? Is she doomed to fall under his enchantment and into his waiting arms?
Excerpt
Ricky is in a hurry getting out of his carro. Damn it I’m almost out of time. We have a meeting with the new client. I have to make sure that the contracts are correct before I turn them over for Jose Enrique’s review. Si I hate running behind schedule. I’m always on it. I don’t usually arrive so early at the office, thinks Ricky grabbing his portfolio from his carro.
Ricky strides into the hall to get the elevator, missing it, watching the doors close. He stops in shock. Damn it, that’s the hermosa muneca from yesterday, thinks Ricky standing, watching her just before the doors close.
Wow, I totally missed an opportunity to talk to the muneca. How can I get to know her? I know that she recognizes me. She’s looking at me with shock. Yeah, she didn’t expect to see me and I sure as hell didn’t expect to see her. I need to talk to her outside of the building. I don’t want to cause any issues with la familia’s company employees, ponders Ricky impatiently waiting for the elevator to come down. I know that she works here, but a lot of good that does me. My body won’t calm down, I’m totally awake now. I don’t know what it is about her that provokes these amazing overwhelming reactions.

Hot & Wild ~ Christian Arturo De La Cruz is a Navy SEAL. Christian lives for excitement. He loves it when the risk is great, dangerous, and complex. He enjoys the thrill of conquering the enemy when on a mission and the chicas when he’s on leave.
Monique Acosta is a young innocent bella chica. Her freshness and charm captures Christian’s alma. She instantaneously turns Christian’s world upside down.
Christian is hurled into dangerous warfare. He engages against the biggest menacing criminal ever. He fights against time and evil to save his amor and familia.
