Exclusive Excerpt & Interview with novelist, Constance Gillam

By 3 Comments

I am so happy to host author, Constance Gillam today. Constance writes in a variety of genres. Her latest romantic suspense novel, Under Cover of Night (Book 3 of the Lakota series), releases on March 30th. It is available for pre-order now. Let’s get started with the interview. And be sure to check out her exclusive excerpt at the end of the interview.

Can you share a bit about your background?

I grew up in Indiana amid ice and snow. Both my parents worked, and I baby sat for a hoard of rebellious and rambunctious siblings—this was particularly hard during the summers when I was responsible for them all day.

As soon as my mother returned from work, I’d grab a book and disappear into my current hiding place. I lived in the stories I read. Stories of fairy princesses who always got their happily ever after, and women who traveled across the plains of 19th century America to find a home in the west.

This love of reading morphed into a love of storytelling. My best friend and I would make up stories on the walk to school and leave those stories on a cliff hanger. We’d finish the story on the way home.

What is your writing process like?

Because I write constantly, I’ve developed inflammation in my wrists and fingers. I’ve started dictating my scenes using the Microsoft dictation program. There are pros and cons to this process.  Big con: the computer doesn’t always recognize the word so it will give you a facsimile. A 1200-word scene of facsimiles is a daunting task to correct.

Pro: dictation allows a stream of consciousness that allows the words to flow. I come up with more emotion and a deeper look into the character’s consciousness.

My goal is to write at least one scene per day. I’m a slow writer and because of this I write seven days a week.

If the words are not flowing, sometimes it takes me all day to write that scene. If I’m hung up too long, I set a timer for thirty minutes. I write without stopping for those thirty minutes. It doesn’t matter if I’m off topic. I just write. Usually by the ten- or fifteen-minute mark I’m producing good material. When the timer goes off, I keep writing.

What genres do you write?

I write mystery, suspense and women’s fiction. I’ve written one young adult paranormal. I’ll write another young adult novel, but it will not be paranormal.

I’ve also ventured into romantic comedy. I have a romcom, The Hookup Dilemma, coming out late summer 2021 with Entangled Published.

I think delving into your character’s psyche allows the reader to experience the character’s emotion. Reading is all about the emotional content (my opinion).

What are you reading?

I just finished a novel by Barbara Samuel, In the Midnight Rain. Glendy Vanderah, Where the Forest Meets the Stars. Judges’ Girls by Sharina Harris.

I’ve never read To Kill a Mockingbird nor seen the movie.

What books do you return to?

  1. The Last Child by John Hart
  2. Rangoon by Christine Monson
  3. Scribe by Elizabeth Hunter

Three very different books. John Hart’s book is a police procedural. Christine Monson’s book is a historical romance, and Elizabeth Hunter’s book is a paranormal romance.

Tell us about your latest release, Under Cover of Night

My most recent book, Under Cover of Night, is the third book in the Lakota series. Lakota Dreaming is the first in the series, followed by Lakota Blood Moon.

The main characters in the series are Zora Hughes, a corporate executive and John Iron Hawk, a tribal police officer in the Sioux nation.

The series combines police procedural, love story and mystery/suspense.

In the first book Zora arrives on the reservation determined to solve the mystery of an ancestor’s death. She meets and runs afoul of John Iron Hawk. Sparks fly and a romance develops between the two.

Under Cover of Night continues their love story but finds John fighting for his job when his sister finds his political rival murdered.

What advice do you have for aspiring writers?

  1. Learn the craft.
  2. Write everyday whether you feel like it or not.
  3. If you’re serious about becoming a writer, don’t give up.
  4. Read, read, read. Never let the writing stop you from reading.
  5. Surround yourself with positive people.
  6. Find a critique group.

Thank you so much for joining us today, Constance!

Excerpt from Under Cover of Night

An hour later, exhausted and cold, John Iron Hawk crawled into bed. He’d never made it to headquarters.
He wrapped his arms around Zora and pulled her against his chest. The warmth of her body started to thaw his cold, tired one.
Outside, thunder boomed. John settled deeper into the comfort of her body.
His cell buzzed.
He squeezed his eyes tight and pretended he didn’t hear it. But with his only deputy off the reservation, John was the on-call person.
“You going to get that?”
“No.” But he picked up the cell and flipped over onto his back. “Iron Hawk.”
“John.”
The panic he heard in his sister’s voice shocked the drowsiness away. Lydia never panicked.
“He’s dead.”
John jackknifed up in bed. “Who’s dead?”
Beside him, Zora lifted her head. “What’s wrong?”
His sister’s strangled cries made the hairs on his arms rise and quiver. “Lydia, talk to me.” Was she having some delayed grief over her husband’s death?
“There’s blood everywhere.”

Author Interview with romance author, Harlem Boston

By Leave a Comment

I am so thrilled to have Harlem Boston as our special guest today on the blog. Harlem’s latest release A Princess Doesn’t Kiss Frogs is available for pre-order now. It releases on April 30th.

Let’s dive into today’s interview!

Can you share a bit about your background?

I am from the volunteer state of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee. I am one of six children. I come from a long line of educators, my maternal grandmother being one, and my mother being the other, and some other relatives. My mother had this pet peeve when I was growing up that she didn’t like for my siblings and I to use the word (at) at the end of a sentence. So if I asked her, “where is my brother Tim at?” She would say, “he’s behind that preposition (at).” It took me a long time to realize why she would do that, but it was just her way of breaking us up from using (at) at the end of a sentence.

Have you always been driven to write? Or did you begin writing in response to a particular stimulus?

I was such a funny character as a child and I liked spending alone time by myself and I would create almost anything. I would create my own stories, paper dolls, and even create my own imaginary friends and I would act out scenes from soap operas.

What would a fly on the wall see if he watched you while you are writing?

That fly would see me focused, very relaxed at my desk and if something breaks my thought patterns, I’m totally thrown off course and by that point, I just stop what I’m doing and try to regain my focus.

What works best for you: typewriters, computer, dictation, fountain pen or longhand?

I usually start out with my fountain pen and then switch to my laptop computer. Although, I’ve been told I-pads is where it is right now. I don’t know about that statement, but you have to go with whatever works best for you.

What was the first book you ever fell in love with?

Okay, if we’re speaking in terms of childhood, Three Little Pigs! But if we’re speaking in terms of adulthood, it will have to be Unspoken Love by Doreen Rainey!

Is there a phrase or quote about writing you particularly like or that inspire you?

Oh my goodness! Yes! “If there’s a book that you want to read but hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” Perfect quote in my opinion by Toni Morrison. It’s simple but yet refined.

Do you ever incorporate something that happened to you in real life into your novels?

Not that I’m consciously aware of, but sometimes I may do it. Sometimes, I’ll use someone from my friends circle “real life stuff” and incorporate it into my novel.

What are you currently reading?

There’s like a whole list of books from different authors that is now on my To Be Read Later List. I’ve been working non-stop and haven’t had any time to catch up on any of my reading but hopefully I’ll get caught up someday.

Have any new writers grasped your interest recently?

She’s not a new writer, but she’s new to me, and I recently came across an article on her. Her name is Denise N. Wheatley.

What is your most recent book? In twenty-five words or less, tell me why your book should be a reader should someone start your book next?

My most recent book is A Princess Doesn’t Kiss Frogs, a romantic comedy series. It’s funny how you don’t know you need something, until you come across it.
With my book you’re going to see that love is not so unrealistic as it seems, so it’s really about trying to give hope to the girl who’s being overlooked by men, the girl who thinks she’ll never find love or that girl who feels she’s not enough or pretty enough for someone to love her and appreciate her for what she has to offer.
In a nutshell my novel shows you how to find love and how to recognize it when it comes along.

If you were describing your writing to someone who hasn’t read anything by you before, what would you say?

My writing is more like a comedy show. I like to make my readers laugh and make sure that they’re going to have a blast, so quite naturally you’re going to laugh throughout, but there are some serious moments also. So you can expect to laugh until you need stitches and you’re going to fall in love with my characters.

At what point did you come up with the title? Did your publisher change it?

I had actually began laying the groundwork down and much later down the line, I threw out a bunch of titles before I chose my title. My publisher did not change it, but they’re okay with most of my choices.

Who is the protagonist in your most recent work? Describe her in ten words or less.

She is a branding expert and all around shark in business who doesn’t mind going the distance for business but not for love. She is a foodie, competitive, ambitious, sensitive and rich.

Could you say something about your relationship to your fictional characters? How autobiographical do you think your current work is?

Each character is totally different, they all have their own distinctive personalities. I say 0% autobiographical.

Favorite thing about your genre?

The ability to make readers feel something that will hopefully stay with them not just in the moment but for a lifetime.

About A Princess Doesn’t Kiss Frogs

Who wants to fall into the arms of a bodacious physical therapist?
Mahogany Taylor sure doesn’t… At least not anymore since her college crush broke her heart. Now that she’s a multi-millionairess princess owning one of the largest branding enterprises in the country. She’s over love… Or is she? Mahogany joins her besties in the beautiful snowy mountains, and doesn’t expect to find anything. Well… That is until her college crush Des Franklin shows up uninvited. Des Franklin, the hot bod, physical therapist any day other than when he puts his firefighter volunteer hat on.
Undeniably the perfect pair especially when they’re sneaking off to cover each other in chocolate kisses, but Mahogany won’t admit that she’s slightly attracted to him. Absolutely not, never going to happen in a million plus years, but when fate takes control sparks fly. However, just when she starts to fall for the green-eyed hunkster, Mahogany’s high profile client gives Des play by play competition, and her face ends up plastered all over social media. Will Des blow out this fire before it ruins everything? Is Mahogany keeping a secret of her own?

Exclusive Excerpt from A Princess Doesn’t Kiss Frogs

Mahogany came downstairs in a long fitted dress with her hair pinned up in a chignon with twists that made her tiny eyes pop. She held on carefully to the circular two-sided golden banister, and marble staircase until she made it down to the bottom step, and paused, but not without her feet wobbling though. Surprisingly, she had black stilettos on that matched her waist cinching dress. Her eyes sparked every time she looked at Desmond, and those butterflies immediately swirled around inside her stomach when she realized he was watching her, the same butterflies that a girl feels whenever she’s intrigued by a guy, and Mr. Desmond Franklin couldn’t stop watching the way she curved her hips from left to right, and how her eyes lit up the whole room, and how the pop of color on her cheeks captured his heart. Then it made other parts of him come alive too.

“Wow, Maho! Who knew you could look like a real human being,” Brixton said. Layyah placed her hands over his mouth and pushed Brixton along.

“Have fun!!! Be a good girl,” Layyah mumbled, as she pulled Mahogany to the side.

“I’m trying!” Mahogany said, while hitting at Layyah to back off.

“You look beautiful, Mahogany!” Desmond said, as he grabbed the door for her.

“Um, what did you say?” Mahogany asked. She paused before she went out the door.

“You’re beautiful!” Desmond emphasized and grabbed her hand.

“I don’t know what to say, but you look decent too,” Mahogany professed. She side-eyed him but she threw in a half smile.

###

This is not a date, Mahogany Taylor! You’re just doing a favor for two of your soon to be ex-best friends. That’s all. Who’s gonna owe me big time. How much longer before this elevator opens up? If it doesn’t soon, I’m gonna scream. I can’t stand being in tight places. Okay, I need to calm down.

After that kiss with Desmond, I haven’t been able to think straight. I have tried to avoid being around him for long periods of time by myself. I’m not falling for him, am I? Am I falling for, Desmond? No… I had a crush on him so long ago. No one still likes the same person they liked when they were in college. Besides, I am a grown woman now, and I got over the fact that he didn’t look at me with the same intenseness that I looked at him.

I mean… So much time has passed. There’s no way I still care about him. What is wrong with me? Am I running a fever? Mahogany laid the back of her hand on her forehead to check her temperature, and on the sides of her face, and underneath her chin.

Ooh, it’s hot in here. This elevator is a death trap. Why isn’t it moving fast enough? Someone call the ambulance because I’m hyperventilating. I need a breathing machine.

Oh, here comes another one.

Mahogany started panting, and hitting the elevator buttons. Desmond watched how Mahogany stood at the far end of the elevator, while he stood relaxed with his head leaned back with his hands underneath his armpits, at the other end of the elevator inspecting every curve she had, and the ones she didn’t have, and then his male antlers almost got the best of him, but he played it cool. It was not great timing on his part though when his stomach started doing the limbo. It remains to be seen that Mahogany will ever get over herself long enough to fall for someone like, Desmond.

Mahogany hugged herself, and avoided eye contact with him by looking down. She had one heel on, and the other heel off when the elevator rocked, and the doors opened.

“Feet hurt?” Desmond asked, he held the elevator doors and let Mahogany go out ahead of him.

“I’m not used to wearing them,” Mahogany said, stepping out the elevator.

“Why is that?” Desmond inquired. He rubbed his hands together.

“They’re uncomfortable,” Mahogany countered, pointing down at her feet.

“You don’t wear them for work?” Desmond persisted. He looked at her feet.

“Nope!” Mahogany said. She paused and dropped her high heel and twisted her foot until it went inside.

“I love being here!” Mahogany said, still twisting her feet inside her heels.

“Yeah, but I couldn’t live in this climate for long periods of time,” Desmond proclaimed, as he held her arm so she could finally get that heel on. For once and for all.

“How is it any different than Naughton’s weather?” Mahogany asked, she curled her lip up.

A Lowcountry Bride is featured in Essence Magazine’s website!

By Leave a Comment

I squealed when I saw this article on Essence Magazine’s website! A Lowcountry Bride is listed as one of the “21 Books We Can’t Wait to Read In 2021”
I feel truly honored to see my book listed along with books by Alyssa Cole, Vanessa Riley, and Sunny Hostin. Angie Thomas’s and Stacey Abrams’s books are on the list too. OMG!!

The first line in the caption really tugged on my heartstrings. It says: “2021 is bringing us the Black romances we deserve.”

That’s all I ever wanted to do in my romance novels. I want to deliver happily ever afters to Black folks despite what the world says we deserve. This is truly an honor.

Inspiration for A Lowcountry Bride

By Leave a Comment

quote by Toni Morrison

Is there a book 📚 that you would love to read, but it hasn’t been written yet?

I recently joined in on the #MyRomanceBook2021 chat. Authors answered questions about their 2021 romance novel releases. One of the questions asked was: What is the inspiration behind your 2021 release?

I tweeted that I wanted to write about the lives and loves of Black and Brown people in the Lowcountry. I haven’t seen many romances and women’s fiction with Black and Brown main characters set in the Lowcountry, even though they make up a good size of the actual population.

When I went to grad school at the College of Charleston, I made lifelong friends who I now call family. I attended an African Methodist Episcopal Church on Sundays, and I developed close ties with my church family there too.

But I didn’t see many own voices stories written about this vibrant community. So, like Toni Morrison said, I wrote one.

The writing process was pretty tough. A Lowcountry Bride is the first novel I ever completed, and so I learned as I went along. However, I believed in these stories and in these people, and so I was persistent.

Now, this story will be out in the world in six months!

Is there a particular story that you want to see in the world?

Featured Author Interview with Erin St. Charles

Featured Author Interview with Erin St. Charles

Hello friends! Preslaysa here. I am so happy to welcome Erin St. Charles on the blog today. Erin and I worked on two anthologies together, and she has a new, steamy holiday romance out now that’s entitled, Sleigh My Name.

Sleigh My Name by Erin St Charles

Today she is talking about the writing life and her new release. Without further ado, let’s get started!

Tell us about yourself. Did you always want to be a writer?

I grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and moved to the Dallas area about 20 years ago. I always enjoyed writing, and was first published at age sixteen through a program of the City of Chicago. I went on to study journalism at Northwestern University, thinking I would be a reporter somewhere. When I graduated from college, there weren’t a lot of journalism jobs available, so I wound up going into corporate communications and marketing and largely stopped writing for fun. I started publishing my own stories in 2018 and now I do that full time.

What made you pursue writing as a career?

I have been a writer throughout my career in Corporate America. I started writing fiction again when I was diagnosed with a serious chronic illness several years ago and I was forced to reevaluate what kind of life I wanted to have.

There are numerous examples of artists and other creatives whose periods of illness led to enormous creative leaps. I’ve published more than a dozen books and stories during the last two and a half years, I think, because of my illness.

What in your childhood contributed to you becoming a writer?

My parents, my dad in particular, always encouraged my writing and creativity.

If a stranger was watching you write, what would they see?

They’d see me binge-streaming some TV show in the background. Right now, I’m watching Medium.

Do you prefer writing on a computer, laptop, or by hand?

I write in 4thewords. My current streak is more than 700 days. I don’t write in longhand, I use a PC and sometimes dictation.

Do you set daily writing goals? What happens if you don’t meet them?

Definitely! Usually 2,000-3,000 words a day. If I’m having trouble meeting my writing goals, I at least do 500 words and call it a win.

What genres do you write in? What can readers expect from your characters?

I write romance, primarily paranormal romance with diverse characters.

I think a lot of paranormal romance deals with themes around hidden illness, treatment of people of color and other minorities.

I love characters of all types, because I personally believe that everyone deserves love.

Does your real life experiences ever get put into stories?

I deal with chronic illness and pain every day. My characters often have some kind of secret condition they don’t tell others about.

What are you currently reading?

When I’m writing, I like to default to my “comfort reads” on audio. I re-listen to Suzanne Brockmann or Nora Roberts endlessly, as well as Delaney Diamond, Theodora Taylor, and a few others.

What books inspired you as a child? As an adult?

I read Stephen King as a child, as inappropriate as it was at the time. I think that fed my interest in the supernatural.

Also, Barbara Cartland and Mills and Boon romance novels from the seventies and eighties. My parents tried to throw out my romance novels, but I went and calmly fished them out of the trash, without any fuss. They never tried that again.

Thank you so much for joining us today, Erin!

You can get a copy of Sleigh My Name on Amazon!

Sleigh My Name by Erin St Charles

About Sleigh My Name

Tor Oleander needs to make his Christmas trip to his hometown short and sweet. Get in, find out what his estranged father wants for Christmas, stay for an obligatory dinner, then leave. Spending time with the old man does nothing but bring up bitter memories of the past, things that Tor put in his rear-view mirror when he left Center City.

But Tor’s plans for a quick exit are thwarted by Holly Flowers, the girl next door.

The girl who used to sell him Girl Scout cookies is all grown up, and Tor takes notice. Gone is the little girl who Tor always thought of as the annoying little sister he never had. In her place is a gorgeous, self-assured woman, and Tor wants to do her like Kwanzaa: all week long.

But Tor’s a blue collar guy who works with his hands, and she’s an uptown girl who works with her brain. In short, Holly is way out of Tor’s league, even though it’s plain to see their attraction is mutual.

Fate brings the two opposites together in the form of a winter snowstorm. Sparks fly, windows are fogged, and bedsprings rattle when they finally get together. But while their chemistry is off the charts, family issues intervene and threaten to put coal in their stockings before they can unwrap a love that’s real.

About Erin St. Charles

Erin grew up watching Star Trek and reading Barbara Cartland novels (don’t hate), wishing she could create something that brings her love of science fiction together with her love of romance. She has a degree in journalism from Northwestern University, and an MBA from Baylor University. Still a romantic nerd at heart, she writes sensual, diverse stories that blend fantasy, adventure, and love.

You can keep up with Erin on Twitter and Facebook.

Book Review: Unexpected Love by Andrea Boeshaar

By Leave a Comment

My Review:

It’s 19th century Chicago and Nurse Lorenna Fields is hard-working, dedicated and – self conscious. She has a glaring birthmark on her face which she insists has repelled many suitors, leaving her a spinster. When a rogue, mysterious man is admitted into her medical ward, she grows to care for him and lovingly gives him the nickname “Mr. Blackeyes.” He has suffered amnesia and blindness after a recent accident.

While Lorenna cares for him, they become close friends and Mr. Blackeyes develops a relationship with Christ. Lorenna feels comfortable with their relationship because he cannot see the birthmark on her face. As Mr. Blackeyes’s memory slowly returns so does his eyesight. But he keeps his recently gained eyesight a secret from Lorenna because of her insecurity. Can Mr. Blackeyes love Lorenna after his tumultous past? Can love base itself on appearance alone?

Andrea Boeshaar’s Unexpected Love (Seasons of Redemption, Book 3) deftly handles these questions and provides a page turning romance that shows the power and depth of true love.
