BOOK BLITZ! Getting it Right by Christi Williams

Pre-release book blast 
for sensual contemporary Western romance 
Getting It Right
by 
Christi Williams

Last of a long line of agrarian witches, Selene Pertunda thinks she will never meet the right man...until with the help of a little magic, she finds Beck McNeal.



Named for the Goddess of Desire, can she dream of lasting happiness with only one man?
   Selene Pertunda has no trouble attracting a man. She just can’t seem to find the right one. From abusive husband Robert to tattooed bad boy lover Kevin, Selene draws men to her like bears to her honeypot. The problem is that none of them proves to be a good fit.
   Sure she will never find a shared happiness, Selene has no way to suspect she’s drawn the attention of a powerful goddess. So she scoffs at the idea that the handsome man who begins to  play a large part in her life could be her destiny.  After all, what could worldly, educated Beck McNeal want with a small-town girl like Selene?
   Selene and Beck try to their best to resist the inexplicable mutual magnetism flaring between them. But can two ordinary people avoid the decree of the Goddess of Desire?

Getting It Right is the first novel-length work in the Wyoming Series of contemporary romances by Christi Williams.

AUTHOR LOWDOWN with Christi Williams



You can take 5 items/men to a fully catered desert island – what/who would you take?     J
Book boyfriends are the best and emotional arousal is in your head! So I would choose all my reading/writing implements, which these days are largely electronic.

Who is your favourite author?
I don’t have a fave author. I read a lot, but not all romance. I have lots of fave works, but they’re by all different authors in all different genres. 

How did you start your writing career?
I didn’t go to college when I was young, and the thought of being a writer didn’t occur to me until I was almost 40 years old and a non-traditional student. As with a lot of authors, I was reading a novel and thought, “I can do that". I started in short stories, fantasy and science fiction, and wrote one fantasy novel and a historical novel.

Which character was the hardest to write and why? 
Perris Dalton of Perilous Promises was the hardest for me. I have several members of my family who have had or died of breast cancer. I have never had cancer myself, and so I had to work hard to connect with Perris and the feelings she experienced: anger, denial, terror, and finally a brittle strength that she would never be beaten down by her disease. Readers, especially those with no familiarity with cancer, seem to have a very tough time connecting with Perris. They think of her as a spoiled brat and don’t recognize the fear hiding behind her tough girl persona. But, you know, writing a book is a two-part proposition. A written, edited, formatted and published book isn’t quite finished until someone reads it. Then, if they don’t “get” it, it’s too late for the author to revise it so they will get it. It’s a failure on the author’s part, hopefully one she will take a lesson from for the next one.

Why did you choose to write romance?
After I wrote the first two novels I joined a writer’s group. At first we were writers of many things including non-fiction and poetry. But as people moved away or moved on from a dream of a writing career, we were three romance writers plus myself. I started writing romance in self defense. All I was critiquing was romance, and I thought I would get better feedback if I wrote romance, since I didn’t read much in that genre and didn’t know much about it—I read Nora Roberts, LaVyrle Spencer, and Sandra Brown but that was about the extent of my familiarity with romance.

If you weren’t an author, what would you have ended up doing?
Authors are lots of things before, during, and after their careers as writers. I took any job that would pay me enough to stay alive, and when that didn’t happen, sometimes two or three jobs at a time. I was also a mother of teenagers at that time.

Do you have any rituals/habits when you write? 
I don’t!

If you write under an alias/Nome de plume, how does it feel to have emails etc. addressed to your other name? 
I write under two different pseudonyms, and then there is the name I was given at birth. One alias writes sexy romance and the other writes sweet historical fiction. Sometimes I find myself re-tweeting some blazing erotic romance writers’ messages under the sweet historical persona. When I come to my senses, I can only say, “Oops, I did it again.”

What is on your current and upcoming release schedule? 
I have a third novel and a second novella in the Hawk Point romances finished. But I haven’t submitted them yet, and there’s nothing scheduled for publication at the moment.
