Happy Monday readers. Please join me in welcoming fellow TWRP author, the fantastic Katherine Grey.
Welcome Katherine, Please tell us three words that describe yourself starting
with A, B, and C.
A = Approachable
B = Bighearted. I’m told I can be too empathetic.
C = Creative
What are your three favorite things?
Are you self- published or with a publishing company
(if so, which one?)?
I’m published with The Wild Rose Press.
What for you is the best part of writing? What
is the worst?
The best part is writing the first draft. I enjoy the
process of getting the story down on paper. The worst part for me is revisions.
It takes me longer than it should to revise a manuscript and get it into
something that’s publishable.
Is there a process you stick to, or do you just write
as it hits you?
I try to write 5 days a week for at least an hour and a
half. This doesn’t always happen but as long as I meet my weekly page goal, I
consider it a productive week.
What is the ultimate goal you have for your career?
I’d like to write full time and support my family from
that income without having to have a job in addition to that.
Describe your perfect day?
It would start out by going out to breakfast with my mom.
Afterward we’d go to the library or bookstore. We’d spend the afternoon talking
books and reading, then have dinner together and end the evening with a Dairy
Queen Blizzard. We don’t have them often, so it’s a special treat.
Favorite item of clothing in your closet?
It’s a sweater my mom made for me. She knit it a few
years ago so it’s starting to pill and is a bit out of shape, but it’s the
first thing I reach for when I’m cold.
An Unexpected Gift
Blurb:
Known only as Lazarus to the band of cutthroats and thieves
he leads, William Prescott will do anything to find his missing sister, even
blackmail a fragile young woman into helping him. But he never plans to fall in
love with this mysterious woman with a troubled past.
Excerpt:
Removing
her hat, she crossed to the dressing table and pulled the
pins
from her hair, letting it tumble down around her
shoulders.
She massaged her scalp, then ran her fingers
through
the thick strands.
“Watching
you do that could give a bloke ideas.”
Olivia
whirled around, her hand pressed against her
chest.
Her heart stuttered for a moment, then began
racing
like that of a runaway horse. She reached behind
her
and grabbed her hairbrush. As a weapon, it was the
best
she could do. She scanned the shadows for the
intruder.
Lazarus
lounged in her favorite reading spot, his
feet
crossed at the ankles while he rested his elbows on
the
arms of the chair. Situated as it was near the
window,
his dark clothing blended in with the shadows
among
deep blue drapery. He watched her over his
linked
fingers.
“Aren’t
you going to ask why I’m here?”
She
didn’t answer; the warning she’d received
earlier
replayed itself in her mind. Fear ran its fingertip
down
her spine.
“Shall
I tell you then?” He stood with slow careful
movements,
then advanced on her until there was no
more
than a hair’s breadth between them.
She
took a step back and banged into the dressing
table,
setting the small collection of bottles jangling.
“Afraid?”
Olivia
shook her head. “Of course not.”
“You
should be.”
