Today I’m excited to have author Angela Aaron on the
Sunday’s Author Spotlight. Angela Aaron is the author of several Romance and
Fantasy Romance novels.
About ‘Pleasure Island’:
tropical island resort where the sole business is to provide the perfect
pleasure fantasy, Cassie finds it difficult to overcome her inhibitions and
join in the fun. When she meets the sexy resort owner, Cassie must decide what
is real when it comes to matters of the heart.
Ryan MacKenna isn’t about to let the feisty red-head disrupt his life or his
business. He lives firmly by his set of self-imposed rules which keep business
and pleasure very separate. But from the first moment he meets Ms. Douglas, he
is in danger of breaking every rule.
About ‘The Fire of Beltane’:
possible and dreams come true…literally.
When Aedan is denied his soul mate that fateful Beltane night, he is given the
gift of immortality, permitting him to wait for her prophesied return. Reunited
after eleven-hundred years, he is disheartened to learn his true love holds no
memory of him.
Wishing for a distraction from the winter doldrums, Aislinn never expects to be
caught up in a whirlwind of magic and danger with a man she has spent her whole
life dreaming about. What he asks of her tests the very reality she holds dear.
Now, as Beltane approaches, and with time running out, Aedan and Aislinn must
reach Ireland to pledge their love to one another. But in order to live out
their destinies, they must overcome an ancient foe determined to see an end to
their fated love.
Eleven hundred years he waited for her. He could lose her in a single moment.
About ‘A Mediterranean Affair:
cruise through the Mediterranean on Cupid Cruise Lines, it seems just the
inspirational backdrop needed for him to finally pop the question. However,
when her boyfriend is a no-show and sends yet another consolation gift to make
up for his absence Andrea knows any hope for romance is extinguished.
Lorenzo has better things to do than play delivery boy to a spoiled cruise ship
passenger.
Returning to his native Italy, after swearing off love, he spends his time in
solitude working at the vineyard. Nevertheless, when his grandfather asks him
to make the special delivery, he can’t refuse. From the moment he walks in on
the scantily clad American woman he knows his life is about to take an
unexpected turn.
Now Andrea and Lorenzo must each let go of their past to make room for each
other. Can they accept the lure of Cupid’s arrow despite the miles that
separate them?
About ‘The Guardian’ (The Shadowstone Legend #1):
The past and present meet, a lover’s secret is revealed,and doors to forbidden places open as the Shadowstone’s power awakens. A
fantasy romance full of magic, mystery and sizzle!
Cailen is thrust in to the mystical role of Guardian by an ancient pledge.
Sworn to protect the bearer of the enigmatic Shadowstone, he must unravel the
magic and power of the sacred Fae object before the Fae can reclaim the stone
and the one who bears it.
Rebecca never believed in the Fae or Faerie legends, let alone considered she
was descended from one. On the hunt for her missing mother, she becomes
embroiled in a dangerous quest with an invisible foe and has no choice but to
rely on the assistance of the cocky Scottish laird to stay alive.
As the talisman’s secrets are revealed and passion ignites, Cailen and Rebecca
must confront the looming heartache that threatens their future. *Adult Content *
The Interview:
and some quiet time in the morning and I’m set for the rest of the day. In the
evening, a glass of wine and a fine man…simplicity at its finest.
quite often in the summer you’ll find me camping. Some of my best stories have
been crafted in the forest. I have a very special place I go to each summer
that is really inspiring. I’ve outlined many stories there.
book?
I’m a hopeless romantic, Ihave been since a very young child. I’ve always been fascinated with the idea
of people falling in love and that very special feeling that happens. I guess
that’s why I write romance and lately fantasy romance. I love the idea of an
alpha hero from the past having to deal with modern times. It gives him a sense
of vulnerability while still remaining strong. I love when people ask me when I
started to write because I have been writing most of my life and don’t know
when I started. When I was 9 years old I used to write stories with
happy-ever-afters for my favorite television characters. As I went through
adolescence I continued to write. I never stopped writing. I wrote my first
full-length novel in college and I dabbled with some fanfic after college. But
never considered publishing until just a few years ago. I generally write the
type of stories I like to read, because I figure if I like to read them there
are others that will like them, also.
experiences?
dreams or daydreams. As a matter of fact a beginning scene in The Fire of
Beltane is exactly a daydream I had one cold February morning as I
procrastinated going into work. I sat in my car thinking how wonderful it would
be if some big hero came and swept me away on an adventure, taking me away from
my mundane job. I stopped right there and wrote down what I was thinking before
going into work and when I got home that night, The Fire Of Beltane was born.
It’s easy for me to imagine a normal woman falling into abnormal situations
because I’m, well, a normal woman. Ha.
writing process. I think music is my second inspiration. Often I will hear a
piece of music that will inspire a scene or fit with a thought I have in my
head. With the Guardian there were two very specific playlist that I listen to
over and over while I was writing. I actually put the YouTube videos for this
music on my website so others could listen to it as well.
be able to craft a story. You can make it whatever you want, you control its
destiny. Write because you love to write, because you love to immerse yourself
in different worlds and meet different characters. Don’t write because you want
to be rich and famous. That happens to only a few.
writing is actually finding the time to sit down and write. I lead a very busy
life as a mom, having a full time job and quite often having exchange students
hanging around our house. This is where the good cup of coffee and a quiet
morning comes in.
Watch out when I get started, though.
Once I get going I don’t stop. I’ve been known to binge write for 3 days in a
row stopping only for food and a quick shower. Everything else I let go during
that time. My family knows better than to interrupt me when I’m like this. I am
not a disciplined writer that can sit down for a certain amount of hours every
day and write. With me it’s feast or famine. When I’m writing, I’m obsessed,
when I’m done I go through withdrawal. When it’s over I’m relieved- at least
till the editing starts. Ha.
Shadowstone trilogy. Book one, ‘The Guardian’ is out now and is doing very well.
The audio version is superb. My narrator, Holle Jackson did an excellent
job with all of the accents. She makes you believe you are actually on the Isle
of Skye and you are with characters from the past. It adds a whole new
dimension to storytelling. I got shivers listening to my own book.
Brynn, crafting their story, ‘The Ghost’ – Shadowstone Legend Book Two. Their tale
will take us further into the world of Fae and tempt Fenora’s growing power.
‘The Fae’ -Shadowstone Legend Book Three, is waiting in the wings.
can find out more about ‘The Guardian’ and ‘The Fire of Beltane’ on my website. You can even listen to an excerpt of the audio for both and watch a few fun
videos I made for them.
