K.S. Hello MaryLynn!!!! Welcome to the blog. I am so pleased to have you here today. MaryLynn is a local Las Vegas author, like me. I've had the pleasure of chatting with her and I am just thrilled to be featuring her here today on the blog. So, without further ado, why don’t we start off with a small introduction?
Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m a southern girl, grew up in Texas, but moved to Las
Vegas in July 2010. This year I will be married to my wonderful husband Patrick
nine years. I have 3 children who are grown, no grandchildren yet, but
hopefully will sometime in a couple years.
I have worked the past 10 years with companies contracted
with the US military, so I was fortunate enough to get to travel to S. Korea
and Japan last year for six months.
Right now I am currently in between contracts so I get to focus all my
time on my writing.
K.S. Any interesting writing quirks or stories you
would like to share with my readers?
I guess I do have a writing quirk…while writing I am on Facebook
looking at post and answering messages all the while chatting in instant
messages and on Skype to a really good friend.
K.S. When did you realize you wanted to be a
writer? What sparked the desire to pen your first novel?
I always loved when my teachers handed out reading and
writing assignments. So, really, writing has been a passion since I can
remember. When a friend of mine suggested I enter a 5,000 word contest for a
werewolf story. I wrote the story and set it aside and didn’t enter the
contest. I continued working on a story that I had begun the year before. However,
Amber kept calling to me so I went back and her story just flowed and took
three months to actually write.
K.S. What genre do you write?
PNR and PNR erotica
K.S. What would you say has inspired you most in
your writing career? Or, who is your favorite author and why?
I have always loved Sherrilyn Kenyon and her Dark Hunter
Series. I love how she created her world. I can immerse myself in her stories
and tune everything around me out until I complete the book in one sitting.
K.S. What does your family think of your writing?
My family enjoys my stories and are very proud to tell
everyone they have a family member who is a published author.
K.S. What was one of the most surprising things
you learned while creating your book/s?
I was surprised to find how creative I could really be in
forming my characters and my own little world for them to live in.
K.S. What inspires you?
Having fans contact me telling me how much they enjoyed the
story and wanting to know when the next one will be coming out.
K.S. Can you tell us a little about any of your
novels?
Synopsis:
Due to her unusual birth, Amber has
abilities no other werewolf has ever possessed. On the run since childhood, the
lone wolf avoids contact with other werewolves at all cost, continually moving,
constantly looking over her shoulder and always alone. Everything changes when
Amber saves a werewolf from the mere brink of death, Blake, the only werewolf
to ever protect her. Love blossoms, but not without tribulations when Amber
realizes she must help her new pack rescue a member who is being held hostage
by a rival pack. Warring with emotions of going from lone wolf to the pack
leader’s mate, Amber must decide if she is willing to risk Blake’s life to know
true family and friendship despite the fact that the Council is hell bent on
locating her and will stop at nothing until she is found. Will Amber’s special
abilities be enough to keep everyone safe?
Excerpt:
The wind howled as she ran
through the heavily wooded forest. Or was the howling the beast that haunted
her? Amber knew she should keep running, but instead stopped in her tracks. She
was tired of always running from the darkness that followed her everywhere. She
gave in to the hot searing pain and fell to the ground, quickly shedding the
clothes that bound her to the human world. Throwing her head back, she screamed
when her flesh crawled and her bones began the painful cracking and popping.
Rain poured through the trees while Amber clawed at the wet soggy ground, her
head feeling like it would explode. The flashes of lightning, followed by the
loud rolling thunder, swallowed her howls of pain. On all fours, Amber panted,
the transformation was complete. She was alone in her own world of nightmares.
Bright yellow eyes rimmed
with black peered out from the dense trees, the silhouette of the large wolf
illuminated in the storm as the lightning lit up the night sky. Amber’s
sensitive ears heard the drops of rain falling through the trees and bushes,
landing on the bed of leaves and wet earth around her. At the sound of rustling
leaves, the wolf whipped her head in its direction. Something scampered from
tree to tree before stopping dead in its tracks, feeling the presence of
danger. The rat’s beady eyes stared into the menacing yellow glow, its body
stood motionless. The only thing moving was the twitching of its whiskers as
the rodent quickly sniffed the air.
She was hungry, but not for
the rat. Amber rose from her hunched position on the sodden leaves. Turning
away, she could have sworn the rat gave a sigh of relief as it scampered away.
Moving deeper into the woods, Amber knew exactly where she needed to go.
K.S. Where can we buy your novel?
K.S. Do you have a website, fan site, or Blog that
we can visit?
K.S. Do you have any closing advice to aspiring
writers?
Just keep writing. The
feeling of finishing a story (even if it needs work) is so amazing.
