AAD Featured Author Interview: Roz Lee

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Roz Lee!

Is this your first year attending AAD?

Yes, this is my first year at AAD. I’m so excited to be part of this year’s event! I love meeting readers, and from what I hear, the most dedicated readers attend AAD.

So where will attendees be able to find you at AAD? Do you hang out in the bar? The lobby? Or are you the one who throws parties in their room?

The one place I know I won’t be is hiding in my room. I spend so much time alone while I’m writing that when I get out I want to stay out! Look for me in the bar or the lobby - wherever there are people to talk to.

Do you have a book coming out before AAD you want the attendees to know about?

The fifth book in my Mustangs Baseball series, SPRING TRAINING, came out at the end of March. It’s the conclusion of a trilogy within the series - I know, that’s sort of strange! I first introduced Brooke and Todd as secondary characters in the second book, GOING DEEP. Readers asked to hear more about them, so I wrote a novella, FREE AGENT (which is free everywhere) telling how the couple met. Readers were still asking for more, so I gave Brooke and Todd their happy-ever-after in SPRING TRAINING.

Just a few days ago, INSIDE HEAT, the first book in the series, came out as part of a sports romance boxed set titled HEART OF A CHAMPION. I’m so excited to be part of this collaboration. There are five full-length novels bundled together for only .99.

If you were to suggest one of your books to the AAD attendees, which book would it be?

For those who haven’t read any of my books, I’d suggest FREE AGENT. It’s a prequel novella to the Mustangs Baseball series and it’s free everywhere online.

What panels will you be on at AAD?

Look for me on the Sports Romance Panel,  Take a Chance, and the Erotica Panel.Drop by and say hello!

If an adoring fan wanted to buy you a drink at the bar, what’s your poison?

Since I’m allergic to the sulphites in wine, I go straight to the hard stuff! However, I don’t particularly like the taste of most liquors so I always go for something that is more fruit juice than anything else. And I’ll never turn down a diet soda. :-)

SWAG. We all love SWAG! What cool stuff are you bringing?

I’ve had so much fun shopping for SWAG! If you’re a wine lover, I have the most awesome corkscrews to hand out. I’ll also have t-shirts, and ceramic coasters.

We’re all excited about the book signing. What books will you have on hand to sign and sell?

I’ll be signing all five books in the Mustangs Baseball series.- INSIDE HEAT,  GOING DEEP, BASES LOADED, SWITCH HITTER, and, SPRING TRAINING.

AAD Featured Author Interview: Joy Daniels

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Joy Daniels!

Is this your first year attending AAD?

More like my fourth! AAD is on my calendar as one of the MUST GO TO events of the year.

What brings you back to AAD?

The list could go on for pages but numbers one through one hundred (and beyond) are the readers. AAD is the best con for authors to meet, interact, and have fun with readers passionate about all genres of romance. Besides, it’s a blast!

So where will attendees be able to find you at AAD? Do you hang out in the bar? The lobby? Or are you the one who throws parties in their room?

I’m a lobby type - and always looking for someone to talk with about books, boys, and just about anything else. So come find me!

Do you have a book coming out before AAD you want the attendees to know about?

I just released my first full-length novel, which I will promoting at AAD - Nashville Trio, a Music City Menage (available NOW). I will also be promoting the kickoff of my new paranormal series with a novella called Soul Seduction (due out in July)  

If you were to suggest one of your books to the AAD attendees, which book would it be?

I also love the most recent one, so it’s hard to say!  If you like contemporary menage then definitely Nashville Trio. If paranormal is your thing, then check out Soul Seduction.

Tell us about the EVENTS you’re hosting at AAD!

I’ll be part of a number of events at AAD. I’m teaming up with a bunch of other fab authors to sponsor Karoake at the NC Music Factory on Wednesday night. I’m also hosting a game table at the Game Parlor, where you can try your luck and win some fab prizes!  

What panels will you be on at AAD?

My first story Revving Her Up is about NASCAR so i’m looking forward to the Sports Romance panel. Nashville Trio is of course a menage - and a love story - so Im also on the Multipartne romance panel. You can also find me on the New Adult panel, and on Sci Fi/Fantasy, which are my two other writing (and reading) passions!

If an adoring fan wanted to buy you a drink at the bar, what’s your poison?

I usually drink red wine but can easily be coaxed into trying something sexy but not-too-sweet. Some kind of champagne cocktail with a kick.

Everyone loves the conference costumes. Can you give any hints about what to expect?

I have two fab corsets that I love to wear up at AAD! And since my new paranormal series is about demons you can expect something a little devilish…but that’s all I’m saying! ;-)

SWAG. We all love SWAG! What cool stuff are you bringing?

I have fun guitar-shaped bottle opener/keychains to promote Nashville Trio, and sexy racing tattoos for Revving Her Up.  I haven’t decided on the swag for Soul Seduction yet, so it will be a surprise to me as well!

We’re all excited about the book signing. What books will you have on hand to sign and sell?

I’ll have paperback copies of Nashville Trio as well as e-copies of my novellas.

AAD Featured Author Interview: Kennedy Layne

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Kennedy Layne!

Is this your first year attending AAD?

Yes, this will be my first year attending and I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am!

What made you want to come to AAD?

AAD is so unique in that it allows us to really get to know our readers. I love meeting readers and finding out more about them and their lives.

If you were to suggest one of your books to the AAD attendees, which book would it be?

I have a military romance series called CSA Case Files. I would highly recommend starting with the first in the series, Captured Innocence (CSA Case Files 1), due to the fact that the books do interconnect with an overall arc. Each team member will receive their happily ever after, but each case may or may not be connected….you must read to find out!  Did I happen to mention that Captured Innocence is only .99 cents for the month of May? :)

If an adoring fan wanted to buy you a drink at the bar, what’s your poison?

Coffee, coffee, and more coffee….unless the bartender can whip up a strawberry daiquiri (that might make me change my mind).

SWAG. We all love SWAG! What cool stuff are you bringing?

I love promotional items and finding unique things to hand out! My favorite swag piece is a coffee mug so that my friends can drink caffeine with me in the mornings...

We’re all excited about the book signing. What books will you have on hand to sign and sell?

I will have all the books in the CSA Case File series….I love all of the team members and I would never be able to bring just one!

Where can readers find you?

I love to interact with readers, so please find me at any of the below social media sites!

AAD Featured Author Interview: Sidney Bristol

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Sidney Bristol!

Hey! Thanks for having me.

Is this your first year attending AAD?

This will be my first year as a featured author *jazz hands*. I went a few years ago when it was in New Orleans and it was a blast.

What brings you back to AAD?

I had SO much fun as an attendee I just had to come back again, and I’m super excited about it. I might be counting down the days, hours and minutes already...

So where will attendees be able to find you at AAD? Do you hang out in the bar? The lobby? Or are you the one who throws parties in their room?

Hey, what happens behind closed doors is secret! I’m kidding. Chances are I’ll be in the bar a little, but I want to be wherever the action is. I’m at AAD to hang out with awesome people, so, I guess the question is, Where will YOU be? Because that’s where I’m going!

Do you have a book coming out before AAD you want the attendees to know about?

Yes! Today, actually, Duty Bound is releasing. It’s the second in my Bayou Bound series about cops and bounty hunters finding their kinky love while battling the bad guys of New Orleans. I classify it as BDSM suspense.

If you were to suggest one of your books to the AAD attendees, which book would it be?

Dang, that’s a hard one. Either Under His Skin, the first in my So Inked series about female tattoo artists. Or, Picture Her Bound, the first in the Bayou Bound series.

I heard through the grapevine you’re sponsoring a table at the Sins & Virtues ball. Tell us more!

I am!!! Who told you? I must thank them. Anyways, I’ll be at the Temperance Table, where we will be practicing the art of restraint. There will be handcuffs, rope and naughty toys to give out to the people who sit with me.

What panels will you be on at AAD?

I’m on four! I think I’m on every single BDSM panel, and one called Sexy, Sexy, Sexy. I’m really excited about being on the BDSM panel where we talk about bringing the kink out of the books and into the bedroom. That’s going to be a fun panel!

If an adoring fan wanted to buy you a drink at the bar, what’s your poison?

Dr Pepper…  I know, not as exciting, but man, I’m an addict!!

SWAG. We all love SWAG! What cool stuff are you bringing?

Well, I won’t say exactly, because it’s a surprise, but I will have some very special kinky prizes to give out. Also, everyone will be receiving some collector pins from me. Attendees can come find me to get additional pins for their collection!!

Officer Odalia Foucheaux is a desperate woman. Incriminating photographs of her after-hours job as a fetish model have been stolen, and she’s willing to break rules to get them back. Standing in her way? The very dominant bounty hunter Jacques Savoy. Jacques has been watching out for Officer Foucheaux. He wants her safe from harm as much as he desires her body, her soul—and her submission. Odalia’s in trouble and struggling to walk the line of the law. His solution? Work together to find out who stole her pictures, what the thief wants and how to stop him. And if they find a pleasure unlike any other along the way, well, laissez les bons temps rouler. Let the good times roll.

If only he were a Dominant, one who would not just flog her into bliss, but love her as well. A girl can dream, can’t she? He was her first love. Mathieu wants nothing to do with another damsel in distress, but he can’t say no when the little blonde woman walks back into his life with proof her ex is big trouble. He’ll give her a place to sleep, but nothing more. His heart is locked up tight. Except, Lisette uncovers his past in the BDSM world and she’s never backed down from a challenge. He can handle her, can’t he? Lisette and Mathieu embark on a relationship that is strictly about sexual gratification, but evolves into more. When the bodies align, the hearts entwine.

Jocelyn's Choice... NA/Coming of Age Romance on SALE for .99 Cents!

My three year publishing anniversary is approaching! Come celebrate with me! Pick up my New Adult Novel Jocelyn’s Choice for just .99 cents!

A New Adult Romance

Jocelyn Andrews, a shy, awkward, high school senior, has never even been on a date until she meets Alex Jordon, the older, more experienced brother of her best friend Evan. Jocelyn falls hard for the charming player and wants to explore all of the “firsts” that go along with new love. Alex has no problem showing her what she’s been missing.

Alex is captivated by young, innocent Jocelyn and to his own surprise, only has eyes for her.  One night of careless passion leads to a life-altering dilemma. Alex must head back to Yale to finish an internship, having no idea what he’s left behind. Jocelyn must decide what to do on her own, forcing her to grow up much faster than she anticipated.

Reality sets in, decisions are made and Jocelyn has to live with her choices. Alex returns home to more than he ever bargained for. Young love has never been more complicated as they deal with a teen pregnancy, social barriers, and concerned family members. Life sometimes throws a curve ball, but the unexpected isn’t always bad.

I sat on the floor in the tiny bathroom and debated whether I should reach up to the counter and check the stick I had just peed on. It had been over five minutes, more than enough time to get the results I dreaded. I’d thrown up twice since starting the test, but I had gotten used to that. I had been throwing up for over two weeks now. At first, I thought it was just the stress I felt over him leaving. It wasn’t until after he went back to Yale that I realized I was more than three weeks late.

Three weeks and two days, to be exact. I didn’t have to look at that test to know what it was going to tell me, because I already knew. My stomach did another flip just thinking about it. The July heat wasn’t helping, either. I hovered over the toilet, pulled my long hair out of the way, and emptied whatever was left in my system, which wasn’t much. I stood from the floor and rinsed out my mouth, my gaze veering over toward the pregnancy test. My hands trembled as I slowly picked it up. I forced myself to look. I needed the confirmation.

Two pink lines . . . no shock there. I even knew exactly when it happened. The day of the week, and where we were. But, how did I let this happen? I knew the answer to that too.

Available now for just .99 cents!
