Hi, Rebecca! Welcome back. I am pretty sure this might be your third visit to my blog so it's great to see you back...and also a good indication of how hard you're working, lol!
Good luck with your tour! Let's get started with the questions...
1)
Did you
set any goals for 2012?
For writing or the rest of my life?
LOL. Yes, in all cases. But, I’ll share the writing ones. I have a list of
publishers I’d like the chance to work with and I have a list of books that
have been swarming around in my mind that I’d like to write.
2)
What is
the best part of the writing process for you?
Seeing
the book come out.
3)
The worst
part?
The
Waiting.
4)
What is
the book you wish you’d written?
Anything
Nalini Singh writes. She’s brilliant.
5)
Favourite
author/s & book/s?
Nalini
Singh’s Psy/Changeling novels.
6)
Tell us
about your latest release?
Darkest
Wolf is the seventh book in the Westervelt Wolves series. It is Rex’s story and
the second to last book in the series.
7)
Tease us
with a blurb/short except
The
smells of human overindulgence wafted through his nose, making him want to turn
on his heel and go out the way he’d gone in.
Rex
Kane observed the scene before him with a strange amount of detachment,
considering he was currently seeing his mate for the very first time. Two
women--no, witches, he corrected--lay in
strangely positioned forms frozen on the floor. Twins, he would guess them to
be. Possibly even identical. He sniffed the air. Yep, they had matching scents.
They were the very rare, but absolutely possible oddity, of identical twins. He
would never be able to tell them apart, not by smell anyway.
His
gaze moved slowly over the diner’s kitchen. At the moment, the twin witches
offered no threat to him. They’d been frozen. He had no idea how long they’d
stay immobile and, truth was, he didn’t particularly care. Witches didn’t
frighten him. They annoyed the piss out of him--there was a difference.
The
unconscious man, who, unless his nose was completely off, would wake up again
shortly, also didn’t bother him. No, the elderly gentleman seemed to be
temporarily stunned. He was also human.
Not a threat.
But
Rex did feel nervous and, considering how rarely anxiety bothered him, he was
willing to acknowledge the sensation for a few brief seconds before he would
deny it had ever happened completely. He raised an eyebrow and forced his
attention to stay on the source of his temporary anxiety: his mate.
8)
What is
your favourite attribute of the hero and heroine?
They’re
both strong and tough while also being misunderstood.
9)
What’s
next?
Right
now I’m writing my next Outsider book
10)
Tell me
where you write?
All
over my house. The bedroom. The
dining room. The living room.
Sometimes Starbucks.
11)
Where
would you like your career to be in 5 years?
I
hope I’m still taking risks and writing stories people want to read.
12)
Where can
we find you?
Darkest Wolf
by Rebecca Royce

BLURB:
Rex Kane has always known he was different than his brothers, down to
the fact that when he shifts into his wolf form, his coat is completely black.
Always in trouble, he is given one more chance by his brother Tristan, the
Alpha of the Westervelt pack, to bring back to their island a witch who can
stop some of the magical assault that has plagued their war-torn home. Rex
knows he has one last chance to set things right. Everything depends on him and
he cannot fail.
Elizabeth Willow has been cursed to look so repulsive no human eyes can bear to view her. Raised in a gentle coven of witches, she is ill prepared for the realities of the harsh world she now lives in. Raised to mistrust wolf-shifters as witch-killers, she cannot seem to help being drawn to Rex. Even if she doesn't believe she is his so-called mate. He can see her as she really is and is the first person to look her in the eyes in years. Although she is not naturally devious, she sees no choice but to use Rex to gain her own freedom and her families' safety.
Together, Rex and Elizabeth will see just how evil the people around them can be. If they can trust their hearts, perhaps they will survive another night. If not, both of their battles will never be won.

Links:
As a teenager, Rebecca Royce would hide in her room to read
her favorite romance novels when she was supposed to be doing her homework. She
hopes, these days, that her parents think it was well worth it.

fortunate to be married to her best friend. They live in northern New Jersey
and try not to freeze too badly during the winter months.

to write series because she loves to see characters develop over time and it
always makes her happy to see her favorite characters make guest appearances in

This book sounds amazing. Can't wait to read it to see what happens between Elizabeth and Rex. I can't believe this is the seventh book and the series is almost finished. *sad face*

Don't ever stop writing. You are an awesome author. I love the sound of this story.
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca...I read you and so many other authors recommend Nalini Singh that I had to pick up something. I read Slave to Sensation and couldn't put it down. Now I look forward to reading your Darkest Wolf.
ReplyDeleteI can wait to read Rebecca's new book. I agree about Nalini and her changeling series being a favorite author too.
ReplyDeleteA agree about the hard working. Rebecca I think you are writing faster than I am reading.
