Interview with Author – Leann Ryans

Interviews, Romance

I’m a wife and mother of three who’s been an avid reader since I could pick up a book. It wasn’t unusual for me to read a book a day, ignoring the real world as I was sucked into the pages of a great story.
I grew up on sci-fi and fantasy books before discovering the world of romance. PNR has always been my go-to, and omegaverse is my addiction of choice.
I love writing books featuring heroes who are a bit rough around the edges but aren’t overly cruel. My heroines aren’t always the take charge type, but neither are all women. They are comfortable in their femininity.
If you’re looking for a story that has dark themes without leaving you wanting to punch the hero in the face, mine might just be for you.

Interview with Author – Karin Cox

Fantasy, Interviews

Karin L Cox is the author of the DARK GUARDIANS paranormal romance and dark fantasy series (Cruxim, Creche, and Creed), several short story and poetry anthologies, and a New Adult romance novel ‘What the Sea Wants.’ She officially has too many words in her brain, usually all swimming around in wine. Often, they come out in dribs and drabs, or sometimes in poetic explosions, but mostly she has to coax them out one at a time and wrangle them into line.

She lives in sunny Queensland, Australia, where she occasionally hits the beach in an effort to avoid a vitamin D deficiency from shutting herself in a dark room to converse with fictional people. She comes with all the usual accessories: cat, dog, kids, full-grown man-child, several outfit changes, and shoes she can’t seem to walk in so swaps for thongs/flip-flops. She would also like a dream house, a hot pink camper with a waterslide, and an unrealistically proportioned waist.

She enjoys camping, dancing, folk music, poetry, writing, wine and sometimes even Facebook.
