Sascha Illyvich for helping us all make this anthology for what it is today.
Happy Holidays!
Tonya: Thanks for
stopping by and spending some time with us. I hear The Ark Hotel: Before the
Dawn released November 22nd. Can you tell us about it?
LR: An emotionally wounded woman finds an
unexpected Prince Charming in a small town in Washington. When you’re ready to
give up on love, love finds you, and in the damndest places.
Here’s the blurb:
With the Mayan’s predicted doomsday a year away, inspires
many to take a spin on the Wheel of Pleasure at the risqué Ark Hotel.
Running north from an abusive relationship, Angie Perkins,
never suspected her life would change by a chance encounter. Repulsed, she
despises The Ark Hotel.
Noah Hawthorne, part owner and CEO of The Ark Hotel, can’t
know that fate would serve up his true love in a small town diner.
With Christmas around the corner, can these two give of
their hearts, finding their way past their pasts to each other as the clock
ticks down on the world’s final moments?
Tonya: Of
course we have to know how you got started writing. So, what prompted you to
pick up the pen?
Jp: I have always
had a creative urge. I wrote my first short story when I was in the first
grade. I am sure my mom still has it somewhere in her trunk of keep sakes. I
wrote poetry, song lyrics and had great ideas, but never finished anything
until I met Lani. She helped me to finish what was started.
LR: I never
thought about writing as a career until 2005. I took some creative writing
classes and started some work, until someone ripped me a new one with
criticism. I laid my pen down and didn’t pick it back up until 2009. I’ve come
a long way since then. I found that critics are everywhere. Some will try to
make you better, some not. Learn from those who want to help you be better.
Tonya: If you
had to pick through your gems of works, which would you call your favorite(s)
and why?
Jp: (Bouncing on
the seat, raising her hand like a maniac) Ooooh, can I answer this one? “Rising
Currents: Louisiana Moon….” It’s not even mine and it’s my favorite!
LR: I have to
agree with JP here. Rising Currents: Louisiana Moon is by far my best work. I
can’t wait until it’s published!
Tonya: Louisiana
Moon?
Jp: Lani’s soon
to be paranormal erotic romance with suspense best seller! I have faith. It is
awesome!
Tonya: *writing
down the title so I can watch for it* Back to The Ark Hotel: Before the Dawn,
who is your favorite character?
LR: Lizzy. She is
a straight talking, pulls no punches kind of lady. I love her!
Jp: Sadly, I
identify with Angie. I haven’t always been happily married.
Tonya: I always dream up and envision my characters
when I write. Who would you choose to represent your characters in The Ark
Hotel: Before the Dawn?
LR: Not in looks,
I can see Kathy Bates as Lizzy. As far as Angie and Noah go, I’d say they are
people of their own.
Jp: I see Angie
as a Kate Hudson Or Piper Perabo, the girl from Covert Affairs and Coyote Ugly.
I see Noah as Bradley Cooper. (He’s hot!) As for Lizzy, I see her as Rosanne
Barr.
Tonya: Where can
your readers find you?

Sexiest Time of the Year. But before you run off read this excerpt from The Ark
Hotel: Before the Dawn
Excerpt:
Hours later,
exhausted but content, Angie hopped in
the truck with Noah. "You're something else."
He was back in his jeans and
sweater, looking sexier than ever. Still, she couldn't forget the fake white
beard and spectacles he'd worn that somehow failed to detract from just how
sexy he was.
"How about a kiss for
Santa?" he winked.
Angie smiled. "Will I
get on the naughty or nice list?"
Noah chuckled. "Depends
on the kiss I guess."
Angie scooted over to the
middle of the cab, eager for a kiss from Noah. His lips were soft against hers.
His masculine scent filled
her senses. She melted into him.
His tongue cautiously traced
over the seam of her lips.
She accepted him.
Their tongues dueled.
A deep throaty groan escaped
Noah. Strong arms encircled Angie's torso, pulling their bodies closer
together. Her breasts ached with longing when they crushed to his well-muscled
chest. She was lost in the sensation of Noah.
Both breathing raggedly when
the kiss broke. They came up for air.
She couldn't say for certain
how long their make out lasted, but long enough for the windows to steam over.
Guilty like a teenager in a back seat, thrilled and excited, she agonized over
how far to let the moment go.
Noah broke the tension by saying,
"Definitely on the nice list."
Angie couldn't help noticing
the large bulge in the front of his Levi's.
Noah smoothed his palms down
his thighs, readjusting his hips.
A warm zing tingled in her
core. A powerful rush came from the recognition of how she affected him the way
he affected her.
His Adam's apple bob when he
cleared his throat.
"Angie, I would love to
play Santa some more with you, and I mean I would truly love to, but
Lizzy is expecting us back at her house for a debriefing. She said she wanted
full, color details since she wasn't able to come tonight."
Angie blushed with pleasure.
Noah wanted her.
"I understand." She
laughed quietly. "We can't have you getting grounded by your mom before
Christmas. I'm counting on Santa to leave me something special under the tree
this year."
Noah's return grin
delightfully wicked, he winked. "You might have to sit on my knee later
and whisper what you want from Santa."
Angie winked. "I might
have to."
He started the truck and
turned on the defroster.
Angie scooted back to her
seat by the door and buckled up. With a single hand she wiped away the
collected moisture from their heavy breathing.
Through the window, across
the almost deserted parking lot she spied a white Ford Ranger idling. Was it
her imagination, or did it have a dent on the driver's front fender. Buddy
drove a white Ranger with a dent.
All the pleasant moods from
moments before spiraled away, leaving a chill of anxiety behind. No damn way!
He didn't have any idea where
she stayed. The stashed credit card remained unused in the pocket of her
suitcase. She called her sister once to say where she was and that she was
alright, but Lisa hated Buddy and would choke before she told him a thing.
Angie was being paranoid. At
least, that's what she told herself.
