*fans herself* Sounds really good right???

 

Now, as a part o my stop the amazing Robin Covington agreed to come visit today for an interview, wich of course has me jumping around like the silly girl I am.

Come meet the amazing autor behind this book !!!

Serious Interview

1.       How would you describe Playing the Part?

It is a sexy, glamorous, sexy story about an movie star action hero and a romance novelist heroine who stop hiding behind the roles they play and stumble into love.

2.       Which character you had most fun writing?

Mick – the hero was so much fun.  He was a combination of Shemar Moore and Tony Stark in my mind and he was alternatively cocky, arrogant, sweet and sexy. I loved his over-the-top personality and the way he took all the Hollywood/Celebrity stuff in stride because he grew up there.

3.       What was your main source of inspiration for the story?

I was looking over some celebrity blogs and it occurred to me that the price of celebrity was pretty high – the media frenzy, the lack of privacy, the inclination of the public to jump on any celebrity that slips off the pedestal. I had the thought of exploring how a relationship would grow or fail in that spotlight and the rest is on the page . . . .

 

4.       What should readers expect from Playing the Part?

Great dialogue, glamorous settings, the red carpet, the Oscars, lots of sexy scenes in bed, on the beach, in a car . . .

 

5.       What was the book that most influenced your life — and why?

Oh wow. I have no idea!  I have been a crazy reader my entire life.  I love the wit of Jane Austen, the on-going family saga of Anne of Green Gables, the humor of Hank Edwards, the heartwarming sexy heroes of Robyn Carr, the rough and erotic plotlines of Avril Ashton . . . I could go on and on.

 

6.        If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your book?

I would have named the heroine Robin and given her curly hair . . . oh, did I say that out loud?

7.       What are you reading right now?

I’m reading a New Adult novel by C.M. Stunich called “Losing Me, Finding You.”

 

8.        Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?

I think my books all have the same underlying theme: that no matter who you are, no matter your past or the past of your family – you can be and do whatever you want and that everyone deserves to be loved.

9.       How has your environment/upbringing colored your writing?

I was raised in storytelling, smartass Southern family and I think it feeds my need to entertain. I also have a supportive family and I try to weave in the importance of family (genetic or created) into my books.

 

10.   When did you first know you wanted to be a writer?

Since I was little I’ve been scribbling down stories and tucking them away. A few weeks after my 40^th birthday, I had a close friend die of breast cancer and I realized that I might not get the “somedays” that I was counting on. I started writing and never looked back.

Silly Me

1.       Why are things sent by car called shipments, and things sent by ships called cargo?  Because Mr. Webster had an amazing sense of humor.

2.       Why is it good to be a Daddy's girl, but bad to be a Momma's boy?

       Who says?  Don’t be fooled – all men are ruled by their Mothers –whether that be a good thing or bad thing.

3.       Is it true cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?                               Yep.

SYNOPSIS

 

Have you ever gone just a little too far?

 

Lexie Banks has.

 

Yep. She just had mind-blowing sex with her stepbrother.In her defense, she was on the rebound, and it’s more of a my-dad-happened-to-marry-a-woman-with-a-super-hot-son situation. But still, he’s been her best friend and confidant for better part of the last few years…and is so off limits. It’s a good thing she’s leaving in two days for a year abroad in Rome.But even thousands of miles away, Lexie can’t seem to escape trouble. Raised Catholic, she goes to Confession in hopes of alleviating some of her guilt…and maybe not burning in hell. Instead, she stumbles out of the confessional right into Alessandro Moretti, a young and very easy on the eyes deacon…only eight months away from becoming a priest. As Lexie and Alessandro grow closer, and when Alessandro’s signals start changing despite his vow of celibacy, she doesn’t know what to think. She’s torn between falling in love with the man she shouldn’t want and the man she can’t have. And she isn’t sure how she can live with herself either way.

Series:  Lila Gray, book #3

Genre:  Urban Fantasy

Publisher:  J. Taylor Publishing

Release Date:  June 4^th, 2013

 

 

In a battle of wills, who is strongest? The one who hates or the one who loves?

In a test of faith, who will fight the hardest? The one who has everything to lose or the one who believes only in herself?

For Lila Gray, the answer is both. For the Magi, the questions are pointless since they can’t lose, and they’ve been waiting since before Lila’s birth for this one moment. Lila only needs to find them to understand her entire purpose in life. This time, though, instead of protecting her people, Lila may be leading them all, including her unborn child and the man she loves, to their deaths — and not by accident.

In the ultimate trial of heart and soul, and the conclusion to the Lila Gray series, Lila will learn that the greatest weapon of war is herself, with one ultimate unknown. For which side will she fight?

Book Trailer

Excerpt

Chapter 1

I choked on the black fear unfurling in my soul, brought on by what would come, what always assaulted me the moment I slipped into unconsciousness. It was stupid to think I could run from it for a third night, but shreds of hope were all that had kept me sane. Primal, cold and so dark it blotted out my Light.

Sleep, more terrifying than anything I’d faced yet, claimed me again.

Standing on the balcony of the new fae castle, I gazed over winding rows of ancient shifter houses, each quiet and seemingly content in slumber, in a night that wasn’t dark. Dark and light all at once—a perfect balance, as if the world hadn’t yet decided which side would win, until the red clouds rolled and curled across the sky like blood spilled into water. Flames, intelligent and ravenous, spread from the east, ready to consume everything and everyone until nothing but ash remained. Heat licked at my skin, growing hotter. Knowing it was only a dream didn’t keep sweat from pearling along my face and neck or the blue streak of profanity from escaping to color the air. Heart thundering, I gripped the railing while I stared at the coming storm, brain frozen with the puzzle I hadn’t yet solved.

What are you trying to tell me? What am I missing?

From below, shrieks invaded my ears, thundering across the land until they rose into a deafening clatter of sound. The houses came alive with light, moaning as fae spilled into the cobblestone streets and stared skyward before scattering, each filled with agony and despair deep enough there would be no escape from it. Dying. They were dying. My own scream built in my throat, to tell them I would fix it somehow, that I would save them, but it couldn’t find an escape. Nor would my body obey my commands to move, to help them. To do something. Anything.

The scene changed as it always did. I stared down from far above, my limbs turned to torches of white fire. A globe of light around me cast a white wash over the city, over the fae who still ran in every direction.

From me.

I am the storm.

Wings pounding against the wind reached me a moment before a giant snowy owl arrived to hover before me, those golden eyes shining with rage and fear, both inducing immense relief that Liam had come and blinding horror with some distant knowledge that he should have run, too.

My scream pierced the silence as a wail let loose from his beak.

No. No!

“Wake up, Lila. Please, wake up!”

Warmth on my arm jerked me awake.

Damn near hyperventilating, I scrambled out of bed and landed on my hands and knees on the hardwood without a stitch of clothing on, unsure if the room spun or if I was just dizzy. When Liam approached, his eyes haunted and glassy, a chilled realization hit me and stalled my breath until my lungs ached with need. What if the storm hadn’t been a dream?

Blessed by the very gods who have abandoned him and carrying the fate of all the worlds onÊ his shoulders, Chase Williams is about find out just how much one man can endure.

Excerpt:

I jerked up from the couch, but the repercussion that came with the motion made me curse. My chest heaved and sweat dripped down my face.

Chase? I heard a voice say, but it was groggy. I wasn´t quite in reality yet.

I cleared my throat and threw my legs over the edge of the couch. More pain came, but I didnt care. I needed to touch the floor. I needed to ground myself.

Chase, are you okay? It was Rayna´s voice and she ran down the stairs.

I screamed as the scabbed over skin on my back tore open when I attempted to stand. I fell to the couch and beat my fists against the cushions as though that could alleviate the pain.

Chase, hey calm down.

Rayna´s voice soothed me. She crouched in front of me and carefully touched my shoulder. Calming energy emanated off her body and soaked into mine. The adrenaline and pain faded, leaving an empty pit stirring inside me. I went completely still. The green cat eyes staring back at me had stolen my words and my breath. Swelling had formed under Rayna´s right eye and she looked tired, but she was as striking as ever.

Are you okay? she asked.
