Paranormalists: Author Interview - Rise for Me by Kristal Dawn Harris #PNR #ParanormalRomance #AuthorInterview

- What is your “day” job if you are not a full-time author?

I worked in the hospital for over twenty years, but finally took the plunge and quit three years ago. I write full-time now.

- If you wrote a book about your life what would the title be?

The title would be, “A Glimpse Into The Future.”

- What is the hardest thing about being an author?

Marketing is the hardest thing about being an author. With so many talented romance writers, it’s hard to gain traction.

- What is the best thing about being an author?

Writing is a joy in itself because I can lose myself in whatever story I’m creating. It’s a stress relieving process for me and fun.

- Have you ever been star struck by meeting one of your favorite authors? If so who was it?

I have never met my favorite author although I would love to.

- What book changed your life?

When I read Dark Prince by Christine Feehan, then learned the story behind the idea, I was moved. That first chapter stays with me.

- What were some of your favorite books growing up?

I was a hard-core Cinderella-themed junkie, she if there was anything with that theme, I read it. Once I matured a bit, I moved to Pirate/Historical romances. You know, the ones with Fabio on the cover with every color hair imaginable. My mom used to swap bags of books with her friends, and I couldn’t wait to dive into the pile. The list of authors is too numerous to name.

- What books are currently in your to-be-read pile?

Dark Song by Christine Feehan, and I’m currently reading Rawhide: Ace in the Hole by Desiree Holt.

- Which do you prefer ebooks, print, or audiobooks?

I prefer print or ebooks, especially print. I like to hold the book and smell the pages.

- If you could live inside the world of a book or series which world would it be and why?

The Carpathian or Dark Series by Christine Feehan holds particular interest for me, so I’d want to live in that world. I like the entire concept of one woman for one man, that I would awaken his ability to see color with just my voice, that I would be his everything, and he would do anything for me. I’d like a Dragon Seeker Carpathian please. Plus, a little supernatural power is enticing. LOL…I’m such a sappy paranormal romantic.

Vampire and warlock, Roman Lee, spent centuries alone as ringmaster of the carnival. After befriending and healing a scarred, young woman, Roman realizes Mariah is his mate.

Now he's risen, unforgiving and angry, forced from his grave by the one woman who captured his heart, but will another secret and the call of his mate change everything?

The steady call of Roman's blood and the promise of peace brings Mariah Stone home to the carnival and the vampire she left behind. He ignores her until she forces him from the grave with her blood.

Denied passion leads them down a path of magic and desire, while a devastating secret threatens eternal love.

Excerpt 2 (PG):

Mariah stopped directly over where she knew Roman rested. Her own blood surged in her veins every time she stepped on the worn plank. She tilted her head, listening to the call of his blood and the beat of his heart. Lizzie said he wasn’t feeding as much as he should, so there was one sure way to bring Roman out of his grave. She searched the room for something sharp until her gaze landed on a small, jeweled pocketknife. She grabbed it off the table and pulled the blade out of its slot. It was dull, but it would work.

Mariah placed the small blade against her left palm, then held it over the spot where she knew Roman rested. With one downward swipe, the blade pierced her flesh, opening a one-inch gash. Blood poured from the wound and dripped onto the rough, wooden floor planks. She crouched and held her palm over the crack between the boards, making sure the blood reached Roman. With a deep breath, she gathered her courage as her blood continued to splatter in droplets between the planks. The room seemed to groan, and every trinket vibrated when she finally called to the other half of her soul in a loud, demanding voice. “Rise for me, Roman Lee.”
