Ali: Is there an author that makes you go all “fangirl?”

P. J.: Yes! Actually, there's several. I recently had the chance to meet Patricia Briggs. She gave a reading of her recent Alpha and Omega series release and a fun Q&A, then took plenty of time to sign books and chat with her fans.

*squee!*

I'm hoping to meet Nalini Singh at RT and would absolutely love to meet Anne Bishop someday.

Ali: If you could co-write with another author who would it be and why?

P. J.: Hmm. Co-writing is a very challenging endeavor. I have so much respect to writing teams because of the work that goes into the project and the pure magic required to mesh two writing minds (both of which likely have multiple personalities). The complexity boggles my mind!

If I did co-write, I think it would be with my little sister. The two of us have a long history or working together and balancing each other. She's the brilliant mind in most of my brainstorming already. :)

Ali:What are you looking forward to most about AADNola?

P. J.: Meeting readers! I'll never get used to the idea of someone reading one of my stories, and love to meet the readers who enjoy them.

Ali: The world is under attack and you are forced to run for your life. You only have room for one book in your survival kit, what book do you take?

P. J.: iPad - it carries lots of books...

Ali: Who are your favorite literary characters? (Yours or someone else’s)

P. J.: Winnie the Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore. There's a lot of wisdom to be learned from them.

Ali: Are there any of your secondary characters you would like to give more life to?

P. J.: Mack from Terra's Guardians will definitely have a story all his own.
Boggle from the Triton Esperiment series is also a very dear character and I will find a way to give him a love story in answer to the Challenge issued by The Galaxy Express!

Ali: If you friends were asked to describe you in one word what would it be?

P. J.: Effervescent

It's been used by many different, completely unrelated groups of friends and even work colleagues. I figure it's not a coincidence. :P

*Favorite color: Emerald green

*Favorite food: Good food. :)

*Boots or heels: Boots with heels. ;)

*eReader or Print: Print

*Beer, Liquor or Wine: Whatever goes with what I'm eating.

*Favorite place to get it on besides the bedroom: Hot tub

*Favorite TV Show: Firefly

*Favorite Book series (besides your own): The Black Jewel series by Anne Bishop

*Pj’s or Lingerie: Silk pjs

*Vampires vs. Shifters: Shifters!

Looking for answers at the bottom of a glass of scotch, he meets Kat.One shared night of mutual desire seems harmless. But when their tryst is interrupted by attackers hunting Rygard, Kat must reveal her other form, the predator beneath the human façade.Together they embark on a dangerous mission—a race against time to meet the enemy’s demands, while trying to deny the passion between them. Rygard is faced with a terrible choice in the face of duty: Report the existence of a human turned shape-shifter. Or forget he ever met her.
