You’re being abducted by hunky aliens and they’ve never
watched a DVD. What five movies do you take to watch with them?
My top five would be:
1. Almost Famous – A serious education about the rock and roll
lifestyle!
2. Terminator 2 – Because it’s badass and it’s about humanity
screwing itself over, but being resilient in its fight to take their home back.
3. Amelie – A film about
serendipity and romance and discovering the good things in humanity.
4. Dead Poets Society –
A beautiful example of sticking it to the man and forming your own ideals and
ideas about the world.
5. The Shawshank Redemption – Another example of the futility
of humanity and the resilience of a strong mind.
Do you have a favourite author? Who is it/are they?
The authors I grew up with stick with me the most, I’d have
to say. I was hardcore into Fantasy, so my favorties are Isobelle Carmody,
Garth Nix, Ian Irvine, Alison Croggon and Kristen Cashore.
How did you start your writing career?
Writing stories about horses when I was eight. Seriously,
true story. I always wanted to be an author, but life took me in a different
direction. I circled back a few years ago after a few life experiences and gave
it another crack.
Which character was the hardest to write and why?
I have a hard time writing whiny and bitchy women. In Beat,
it was Monica that was the hardest to write. In Unexpected it was Evie!
If you write under an alias/Nome de plume, how do you deal with being addressed by that name?
Amity isn’t my real name and I don’t make a secret out of
it, but when people call me that? It messes with my identity! I have a friend
who calls me by my real name half the time and Amity the other. THAT messes
with me! But I like being Amity. She has more fun. There’s something freeing
about assuming another identity. It’s all me, but I feel like I can be a little
wilder than usual.
How would you classify the genre you write? Why did you
choose that genre?
I write Erotic Romance first and foremost, though I do have
some Contemporary Romance coming. I was tired of the weak heroines and wanted
to write something that I wanted to read and couldn’t find.
If you weren’t an author, what would you have ended up doing?
I probably would’ve ended up coasting from job to job being
extremely unhappy. I’d be stuck at a desk at some mundane office admin job,
most likely.
Do you have any rituals/habits when you write?
Nope. I’m completely boring and just sit down and do it. I
do like to have an energy drink and write during the day, but I don’t think
that counts as a ‘ritual’. I’m uptight about planning all my books, I guess you
could count that as a habit.
What would be the weirdest one?
I have to plot all my books start to finish. I break out in
cold sweats if I don’t know where I’m going!
What is on your current and upcoming release schedule?
Beat released October 6th and I am currently working on the
second book, Pulse. I have a number of other projects coming up that haven’t
been announced yet, so keep your eyes peeled! I’ve got some dark and twisty
alpha males, sexy rock stars and more beefcake fighters!
Where are your books available?
All the usual suspects. Amazon, iBooks, Barnes&Noble,
Kobo and Smashwords.
