My answers (lol):

 1. What would you do if you went back in time and ended up as yourself at 16 years old again?

I would pursue a singing career. I was evaluated at Duke University at 16 years of age and received a top rating but 

never did anything with it.

    2. Who is your real-life superhero and why?

My mother. She was always there for me despite her many problems. She was a brilliant woman who was 

a friend to everyone she met and wrote beautifully, leaving stories and journals and a book she never 

published. She gave of herself to her children, putting us above her own needs.  

    3. If you could be any of your own book characters (or someone else's) who would it be and why?

That's a very difficult question. There are so many. However, Dani from the Fever Series by Karen 

Marie Moning would be my top choice. Why? Who wouldn't love to be with Jericho Barrons. :)

    4. Puppies or kittens?

I love both but prefer kittens. We have nine rescues living with us. I can't see me walking nine dogs...lol.

    5. What would retirement look like for you and what would you do?

I am here...in retirement...and writing, which I've always wanted to do.

    6. If you have books published, which one do you wish you'd written differently and how would you change it. If not, what would your best of the best novel look like?

I am constantly striving to improve and would love to be a paranormal romance author...a good one. I wouldn't change anything beyond more edits..:) I can never stop.

    7. Happily ever after or happily never after?

Always happily ever.

    8. Do your day job coworkers end up as characters in your novels?

No....just me...lol.

    9. If you could live in a TV show, which show would it be?

Don't watch much Tv...can't hear it...lol. However, I think I'd like to be the Dowager in Downtown Abbey. Her constant barbs (no pun intended) are delightful.

    10. How many books are in your to-be-read pile and which one is up next to read?

Oh my gosh...I have over one thousand on my kindle and keep adding more. My TBR list is not quite that 

big, but it is huge. I just finished The Last Valkyrie by Jennifer Sage and recommend it highly. I'm now reading Hidden Carmina by Adri Sinclair. :)

Peace,

Barb

BETRAYED by SUZANNAH DANIELS

✯ ☆҉‿➹⁀☆҉☆ NEW RELEASE ✯ ☆҉‿➹⁀☆҉☆

BETRAYED (Whiskey Nights #4) -by- Suzannah Daniels

Hosted By: Book Ninja Promotions

 SYNOPSIS :

Paxton Mayfield and his brother, Cade, have a bad habit of falling for the same woman. In the past, their antics gave new meaning to the term sibling rivalry.

But now that Cade has tied the knot, can Pax finally find a woman who loves him?

Jessica Beacham has only loved one man—Paxton Mayfield. She would have gladly given up her college scholarship to stay in Creekview if he would have just given her a sign, but instead of telling her to stay, he ended the relationship.

Distraught and lonely, she was comforted by his brother. 

Seven years have passed since that fateful day. When Paxton receives an unexpected phone call, he soon finds himself face-to-face with the one woman he swore he’d never speak to again. 

He abandoned her. She ripped his heart out. Can they overcome their feelings of betrayal and restore their trust in each other?

BETRAYED is the fourth book in the WHISKEY NIGHTS series. Since each book focuses on a different couple, they can be read as stand-alones, but many readers may prefer to read them in order for maximum enjoyment.

Question 1: We know from the teasers and blurbs that Becky and Thya are the same person, does Becky experience physical changes as Thya?

Yes almost immediately when she arrives in Tsinia. Her appearance chances first which is why she believes it all to be a dream. It‘s when she comes out of the Plecky that her personality and mannerism slowly change.

Question 2:  What persuades her to assist the Tsinians?

Great question. It takes Thya a long time to come to terms with her destiny. She doesn’t fold easily. But when her stubbornness causes great harm she knows she has to step up. It’s not until the tragic death of her confidant, that Thya’s hand is forced and she must act. It’s then that she finally accepts what must be done.

The Whisper/Barbara Chioffi...Part 2

She couldn’t quite process what she was seeing and felt dread ooze into every pore. Suspended near the ceiling, sitting as if there was a chair, was a clown, her worst nightmare. A mask covered his face, one with a large smiling mouth. His legs were crossed as were his arms. The eyes were two lines sewn into the face, and the nose, well there wasn’t one….just two holes.

Anne blinked her eyes several times, hoping the supposed apparition would vanish. It did not. A sinister smile crossed its face, and it floated down to stand before her. Sinking back as far as she could, her one thought was….damn, this is scarier than anything I’ve ever written.

Still staring with her mouth open, she was beyond screaming. This was freaking diabolical. Of all the subjects in her stories, clowns were the farthest from her imagination.

“Good evening, Anne. I hope I didn’t frighten you. I have a request.”

“Are you out of your mind? Of course you’re scaring me. Go back to where you came from.”

“I’m afraid I cannot do that. I need something from you.”

Anne gulped. His voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard, eliciting a shudder, and she imagined everything that was possible, and none of it was pleasant. Stuttering, she asked, “W..what is it?’

“I want to be in your next story.”

Omg. A small sigh escaped Anne’s still open mouth. Is that all? I can handle that, at least I think so. Why does he have to be so ugly? Damn. No eyes, no nose, and that mouth. It’s enough to swallow my head.

Gathering her courage, which was hard to find at the present moment, she squeaked, “I think I can manage that.”
