Tell me three words that describe yourself starting with A, B, and C.
Adventurous,
Blessed, Caring.
Happy Tuesday readers.
Today I've got author J.L. Sheppard sharing her book, Heavenly Desire, which is on sale for 99 cents for a limited time!
What are your three favorite things?
Family, friends and books.
Are you self- published or with a publishing company (if so, which
one?)?
I’ve published four books, all through publishing
companies. My first, Demon King’s Desire,
was published with Cobblestone Press. Burdened
by Desire, Heavenly Desire and Awaiting Fate were published with the
Wild Rose Press.
What for you is the best part of writing? What is the worst?
The best part about writing is getting ideas. The
worst can be editing. (It depends on how much you have to edit and whether you
agree with your editor.)
Is there a process you stick to, or do you just write as it hits you?
I write as it hits me. I do not plan at all,
which means I edit a lot.
Will there be more books in your series, or can you tell us about any
previous books?
Heavenly Desire is part of the Elemental Sisters Series, and there will be two more books
to the series. One of which is written. Awaiting
Fate, my latest release, is a part of a series, a spin-off to the Elemental
Sisters Series. There will also be more books to that series.
When not writing, what can you be found doing?
Caring for my 7-month-old.
Favorite writer, book?
Too many favorites! My favorite authors: Kresley
Cole, Jeanine Frost, Lynsay Sands and Kristen Ashley. My absolute favorite
books: Demon from the Dark, A Hunger like No Other, Own the Wind, Lady Luck, One Foot in the
Grave and Vampire Interrupted.
When writing, which do you prefer to write with, computer or paper and
pen?
Laptop.

Will he sacrifice his
wings for a woman he loves but can never keep?
BLURB
Clyde, an angel, battles
the one thing he believes will lead to his fall from heaven—his new found
emotions, forbidden among his kind. Nonetheless, the Angel Lords promise to
promote him to warrior when he completes his last assignment—to find Jade. When
he does, emotions he never knew possible arise. For the first time in two
thousand years, he cursed his existence. Knowing she can never be his, will he
sacrifice his wings for a woman he loves but can't keep?
EXCERPT
He bent toward her,
wrapped one arm around her waist, the other around her back, then buried his
face in the crook of her neck and inhaled.
Relishing the feel of
her body melded against his, he forgot the worries consuming him. She soothed
his ache with a mere touch, with a mere embrace.
Exactly what he’d
wanted, exactly what he needed.
She then pressed her
full lips against his cheek, kissing him lightly.
An innocent kiss. There
was no passion behind it, but an unconscious consuming need, one he’d never
felt, swelled inside him—desire. It was exciting, overwhelming and terrifying,
blocking logic and reason.
All he wanted now was a
single kiss. All he could think about was how her soft lips would feel pressed
against his.
Marvelous, he concluded.
It was absurd to want
what he did and feel what he felt, for he was an angel. Carnal desires even as
insignificant as kisses were for others, for all others except his breed, and
yet he felt it so deeply it seared him.
The desire that gripped
him didn’t release him even after she unhooked her arms from around his neck,
and the warmth of her body melted away.
There he stood,
immobile, battling the desire she’d sparked. He didn’t want to leave yet knew
he had to before he’d acted out his longing.
He willed his body to
move. Finally, he placed one foot behind the other, stepped back and strode
away praying the yearning he had no right to feel for a woman who would never
be his would soon subside.
