Winners from Addison Fox’s visit!Posted by Suzanne Ferrell Nov 28 2012, 11:30 pm in Addison Fox, Come Fly With Me, prizes, Suzanne Ferrell
Congratulations, ladies!!! Please send your email addy’s to me at suzanne AT suzanneferrell DOT com and I’ll be sure Addison gets those books to you ASAP! Coming Attractions for NovemberPosted by Christina Brooke Nov 1 2012, 12:01 am in Addison Fox, Anna Campbell, Catherine Gayle, coming attractions, contests, Jessica Andersen, Miranda Neville, Nancy Robards, Tiffany Clare, vanessa kelly
(Perhaps some will be shivering sooner than others. There’s been some extreme weather up there. We hope our Bandita Buddies and their loved ones are all safe and sound!) Whether you’re trying to beat the heat or getting warm by the fire, it’s a balmy day poolside in the lair.
Here’s what we have coming up for you this month: On November 2, Catherine Gayle will chat to us about her book SEVEN MINUTES IN DEVON. November 3 brings a very special guest–Lorna Doone from Suzanne Ferrell’s new small town contemporary romance, CLOSE TO HOME. Lorna runs the Peaches ‘N Cream cafe, the local hangout where all the good stuff happens (you know the mayor tends to hold court there, most dates start or end there, and any good gossip can be found there), and Lorna has no problem sticking her foot into people’s private or not-so-private business. So if you’re in the mood for a gossip and a good dose of Lorna’s medicine, drop by on Saturday. You’re in for a treat! What a very special event we have coming up on November 6! It’s Election Day in the US and party time in the Lair as Jeanne interviews Nancy to launch RENEGADE.
All good things must come to an end, and SPELLFIRE, the book Nightkeepers fans have been waiting for, will close that series. On November 8, Jessica Anderson joins Nancy to chat about the finale.
“This holiday, seduction is the sweetest gift of all.”
On Friday, 16th November, Nancy Robards Thompson and Katherine Garbera visit the lair to tell us all about their latest releases TEXAS CHRISTMAS and CALLING ALL THE SHOTS.
This should be a lot of fun!
Addison Fox visits the lair on November 21st to chat with Suz about COME FLY WITH ME.
~~CONTESTS!~~
The contest closes 31st December, 2012, and entry is open internationally. For more information, please check out Anna’s contest page.
Nancy also is running a contest on Fresh Fiction for a dragon goblet, a Keeper Kase with a collection of cards, and a Kindle or Nook download of Renegade. to enter, visit her contest page at Fresh Fiction.
And of course, don’t forget to sign up for our monthly newsletter which offers a treasure chest of prizes to be won each month! A short talk with J.D. Tyler and Addison FoxPosted by Suzanne Ferrell Mar 5 2012, 12:02 am in Addison Fox, Alpha Pack series, Ellora's Cave, JD Tyler, novellas, paranomal romances, Penguin publishing, Sons of the Zodiac series, Suzanne Ferrell, THE SURRENDER OF LACY MORGAN
Suz, reaching to pour a third glass of the delicious cocktail:Over here, Addison! JD: Hey Addison! Bout time you showed up, girlfriend. Addison: I am so excited to spend the day with you guys and the Banditas! The Lair is always one of the most fun – and hopping – places on the web! JD, lifting her glass in a toast: I’ll drink to that! Clinking of glasses sound, followed by laughter. Sven, one eyebrow lifted in question, turns to see if the trio is going to start trouble, which sends Suz sets her glass down and turns to her friends: I’ve started writing an erotic novella. I was wondering, you both have been multi published in novel length books. What was different about writing a novella set in your paranormal series? Addison: I’d actually start with what is the same. The world of my zodiac warriors is consistent book to book – that part was actually quite easy to get back into. What was different was finding a way in WAVE OF MEMORIES to put my hero and heroine together quickly vs. the canvas of a full-length novel to get them together. I’m not ashamed to say I used that age-old tactic to help get them together quickly….they’ve got a history with each other! JD: I’ve read many novellas, but I had never written one until BLACK MAGIC. When my editor asked me to write one set in the Alpha Pack’s world, I was both excited and nervous. The idea of squeezing a story into five or so chapters was daunting to me—sort of like trying to fit an elephant into a marble sack. I think “big” story, so that was different for me. I knew I wanted to write a novella for Kalen Black and Mackenzie, but I also knew they would have a full-length book. I’ll explain more about how I worked that in a bit. A cabana boy wanders past and the trio stop to admire the hitch in his gait. Suz, clearing her throat and getting back to the subject of their visit: I’ve been approaching this as a challenge to see if I can tell a complete story in a shorter format. What do you two think are the pros about writing a novella? Addison: Getting to revisit my warriors in WAVE OF MEMORIES and having a chance to put more stories in front of readers, hands down. I absolutely love everything about crafting an entire novel, but the realities of time means there is a wait time between books. As a voracious reader myself, I love when my wait time I shortened and it’s just as much fun as a writer! JD: I get to spend more time with those characters, in this case the heroes of the Pack! I also got to tease the reader with the promise of HUGE things to come when they read Kalen and Mackenzie’s full-length book BLACK MOON, which releases in December. Yes, I’m evil that way. Suz: The trio grin and again clink glasses. Suz: Like I said, this is a challenge for me. Having to be very tight in my writing. What do you consider the cons to writing a novella? Addison: The only con is that you don’t get to spend as much time with these characters on the page because you pretty much have their love story on high speed! JD: I didn’t find a con with writing this one. Mostly because Kalen and Mac’s story isn’t over, it’s just beginning… Suz: Just beginning? Oooo sounds intriguing! JD smirks in that usual mischievous way of hers and reaches for the pitcher of mojitos. Suz: Since I write for Ellora’s Cave, all my stuff comes out as strictly an e-book at first. How do you feel about your novellas being just offered as an e-book? Addison: I’m excited that digital publishing is making more options available to authors. While there is a component of universal availability that comes from being in print and digital, the fact that my publisher can put books/stories out more quickly is a benefit to me and my readers. That said, recognizing the story won’t be universally available, I did ensure that the novella weaves in with the broader world I’ve created, yet also stands alone. I think that’s actually a really important component in any book in a series – the story needs to be a stand-alone story first – but it is especially true with an e-only novella. JD: I think being offered as an eBook makes perfect sense for not just my novella, but all of the Penguin eSpecials. Readers can buy instantly and begin to enjoy the story right on their eReader, tablet, or computer, and that convenience is a very good thing. Suz: Well my experimental novella is NOT related to my book The Surrender of Lacy Morgan, but it is an American Historical that takes place after the Civil War. Tell me about your novellas… Addison: WAVE OF MEMORIES is Aidan’s story. Aidan is my Aquarius Warrior and he’s got a wonderfully angsty backstory with Megaera (“Meg” for short), one of the Furies. An old enemy of both of them has come after Meg and the only person she can turn to for help is Aidan, her former lover (don’t ya just love it when that happens?!?!) Of course in WAVE OF MEMORIES, the tables are turned on our dear stubborn Aidan pretty quickly when his old feelings for Meg come roaring back to life. JD: Kalen Black and Dr. Mackenzie Grant first met in PRIMAL LAW when Kalen was recruited to join the Alpha Pack. BLACK MAGIC (releasing on March 6) is the beginning of Kalen and Mackenzie’s story, to be concluded in December 2012 with their full-length book, BLACK MOON. In BLACK MAGIC, Sorcerer/Necromancer/black panther shifter Kalen Black and Dr. Mackenzie Grant battle a lethal enemy and come together in an explosion of passion. One night will set in motion dire consequences not only for the couple, but for the entire Pack. Those consequences will reach their full, devastating potential in BLACK MOON. As the Pack’s commander/PreCog Nick Westfall predicted, a terrible storm is coming, and Kalen will face not only a battle within himself, but a war on the horizon that could end them all… For those of you who are wondering, the novella IS a stand-alone story. Readers won’t have to read the novella to fully enjoy Kalen and Mackenzie’s full-length book. Yet reading the events in the novella first-hand, knowing exactly what happened the night Kalen and Mac first gave in to their passion, will greatly enhance enjoyment of their journey. I hope my readers love the ride! Suz, turns to look at the pool where several cabana boys and one sexy cowboy are swimming: Speaking of rides, have y’all tried the slide over by the pool? Sven retu So, readers, while me, JD and Addison oogle the males in the Lair, how about telling us what you like about novellas? Does having a “special” ebook in a series wet your appetites for more? We have prizes from both JD and Addison for several commenters today. JD is giving print or e-copy of Primal Law to one reader and Addison is giving an e copy of the novella and a printed or e version of Warrior Enchanted when it comes out to another reader **Okay, so Amazon wasn’t being nice to me when I wanted to add click throughs so y’all could purchase Jo’s novella which is available to preorder today or buy tomorrow. Click on this smaller version of her book and it will take you right to the site!** Blowing in like a Lion! March Coming Attractions….Posted by Jeanne Adams Mar 1 2012, 12:23 am in Addison Fox, Anna Campbell, Annie West, coming attractions, Diane Kelly, Jana Oliver, JD Tyler, Jo Robertson, Joan Swan, Jules Bennett, Kate Carlisle, Robin Perini, Teresa Morgan, Trish Milburn

She’s been a guest with us before and always accompanied by the hottest Warriors of the Zodiac with her. This time Addison Fox has something different for us. She’s going cold…really, really cold! Her new triology is straight contemporary romance and set in a small town in Alaska! Please welcome my friend, Addison Fox! Addison: My deepest thanks to Suz and the Banditas for having me back to visit! I love hanging with you ladies and your new lair is absolutely gorgeous!!! Suz: This is a departure from your first romantic subgenre, why the change? Addison: I am a huge reader in addition to being a writer and have always read across the romance genre. As I think about my career goals, they’re all based around writing the romances I’m interested in telling. For me, it’s been less about picking one sub-genre and more about telling the stories that I have a need to tell. Suz: How was writing contemporary romance different from writing the Sons of the Zodiac series? Addison: I can’t say the writing was all that different. To my point above, I enjoy reading different subgenres across romance (as well as Urban Fantasy, mysteries, thrillers – I’m an equal-opportunity gal!). I’m a very character driven writer and I find the joy of telling a romance is less about the world they inhabit and more about the characters that I’m putting together. I’m grateful my publisher agrees! Suz: How did you come up with the concept of a Bachelor’s auction for the basis of the Alaskan Nights series? Addison: The idea for the book sparked off of a small article I read one day about an annual bachelor competition in Alaska. The article captured my imagination immediately and I just *saw* this world in my head, very rich with stories. I’ve always been a big fan of trilogies and I immediately saw three different women, all brought together in an unexpected way. One of the things I really loved playing with in the book was the concept of expectations. I think it’s all too easy to think a city-dweller behaves or thinks one way and someone who lives in a small town thinks and behaves in another. And the reality is that we all have ideas and thoughts and valuable opinions that may be shaped by our circumstances but don’t need to be defined by them. Suz: Your paranormal series is very hero driven, BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE seems more female driven to me. Was that intentional? Addison: I can honestly say it wasn’t intentional, but rather, flowed very naturally out of the story. From the very first moment the idea for the series struck me, I saw three women and three stories. The funny part is, in the very same way, I can recall the moment I thought of the Sons of the Zodiac and I saw this band of brothers and this very male-driven world. If I can point to something in my process that just makes sense to me, it’s the fact that the characters drive the story. Once I know who they are, the rest is about getting it on paper! Suz: How does your heroine, big-city-NY-girl Sloan McKinley end up in Alaska? Addison: Sloan’s best friend Grier is up in Indigo, Alaska dealing with an inheritance from her estranged father. The locals haven’t been all that friendly (nor has Grier’s recently-discovered half-sister) and Sloan goes up to help out. Once there, Sloan falls in love with the town, all the while helping the locals see what a great person Grier is. And, of course, there’s a very good reason for her to love Indigo in the form of town lawyer, Walker Montgomery. Suz: In BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE, your hero Walker Montgomery isn’t interested in his grandmother’s machinations to get him “auctioned off”. Why? Addison: I can’t give up all of Walker’s angsty back story, but suffice it to say, he’s got some very large family baggage that’s kept him firmly out of the marriage market. Suz: Did you do any special research for BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE? Addison: I’ve spent a lot of time online researching Alaska. I’m also lucky to have a friend, Barb Dunlop, who lives in the Yukon Territory. Barb gave me some great descriptions of both the aurora borealis as well as what the daylight is like in winter in that part of the world. Suz: What’s next in the Alaskan Nights series? How many books are planned? Do we get to meet any of the heroes or heroines in the first book? Addison: The next book is Grier and Mick’s story. We see quite a bit of them in book one and they’ve got a lot of unfinished business between the two of them (lots of yummy, unfinished business). I’m in the home stretch, working on their story now.
The original series was pitched as a trilogy, but I’m not opposed to spending more time in Indigo after the series finishes! Suz: Any news for your Sons of the Zodiac series fans? Addison: I’m so excited to confirm that there are two Sons of the Zodiac stories in the works! The next full-length novel, WARRIOR ENCHANTED, will be out in May 2012. This is Drake, my Pisces’s story. For those of you who have read the other books in the series, Drake’s had his eye on the white witch who lives next door to Warrior Central, Emerson Carano. She’s been leading him on a merry chase and it’s about time to find out if she’s ready to get caught. I had an absolute blast raising the stakes for the warriors and I’m especially excited about the big ‘ole hook that ends the book. (At the risk of sounding horrifically self-serving, I made myself cry as I wrote the ending and that’s never happened to me before!!!) I also have a Penguin e-special out the month before, called WAVE OF MEMORIES. This is my Aquarius – Aidan’s – story. Aidan’s been rather MIA of late and he’s pulled back home to help deal with an ancient enemy who just happens to have his sights set on Aidan’s disastrous first love. I’m so excited about both stories. I have such a fun time playing in the world of my zodiac warriors and I am truly indebted to how supportive everyone’s been of the series! As always, thanks so much for having me in the Lair for a visit. I look forward to talking to everyone today and I’m excited to give away a copy of BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE to a lucky poster on the blog. So, dear readers, if you could travel to anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Some place warm and sunny? Some place cold and crisp? Somewhere in the mountains? Somewhere near the beach? Camping or room service? Addison Fox Has Warriors In The Stars…Posted by Suzanne Ferrell Sep 21 2010, 5:18 am in Addison Fox, Jo Beverley, scorpios, Sons of the Zodiac series, Warrior heroes interview with Suzanne
 **sensing a little deja vu? I had a bit of a brain fart yesterday and managed to post this a day early! Ack…too much wine and too little sleep over the weekend! But yes Addison is visiting us today!!**
I met Addison Fox years before she sold her first book, Warrior Ascended. There was something special about this woman with her contagious smile and always positive attitude. So when she sold her first book to Signet, along with the whole Sons of the Zodiac series, I was thrilled. Now, I’m even more thrilled to welcome my good friend back to tell us about the second book in her series! Suz: Welcome back to the Lair, Addison! And thank you for writing the very sexy, WARRIOR AVANGED! For those who haven’t had a chance to pick up the first book in your Sons Of The Zodiac series from Signet, can you give them a brief overview of the series premise? Addison: Thanks so much for having me back in the Lair! I love visiting with the Banditas!! Millennia ago, the goddess of justice, Themis, created a race of fierce warriors, each imbued with a special power of the zodiac and charged with protecting humanity from the evils of the world. Suz: We met the hero of this book, Kane Montague, in the first book, Warrior Ascended. What is his sign and how does that first encounter play into Warrior Avenged? Addison: Kane is my Scorpio warrior and for those of you who read WARRIOR ASCENDED, you know that Kane was burned in book one by a fellow secret agent at MI-6. The fact that said agent is the delectable female spy, Ilsa…AND the fact that she burned him at a *most* indelicate moment is the set up for WARRIOR AVENGED. Kane’s out for revenge – even as he can’t wait to get his hands on her again! Suz: Mmmmmmm, love me my Scorpios. (By the way, we Scorpios are very sexy…hehehe). Uhm. So, yeah Ilsa was an interesting name for your heroine to use, but it isn’t her first cover name, is it? Addison: Ilsa actually has three names (Adrasteia, Nemesis and Ilsa) and each ties to her backstory and what’s brought her to the point in time where the book starts. I love this heroine – she’s the most flawed, challenged heroine I’ve ever written and I had so much fun writing her and wringing as much emotion out of her as I could. Suz: Kane isn’t just any warrior, he’s a warrior with a major problem. What is it and how does it affect his abilities? Addison: Three centuries ago, Kane went up against a very dark sorcerer who found a way to turn Kane’s scorpion against him. The scorpion’s venom lives in his system and rises each year when the Antares star is at its zenith in late May. Antares is the brightest star in the Scorpius constellation and it was one of those fun little elements I found as I did research for the story. Suz: How do you see the Zodiac Warrior’s war with Enyo progressing throughout the series? Addison: I’m actually having a ton of fun with that part. Although the warriors and Enyo are all very clear characters in my mind, how their battle is going to play out is still a work in progress for me. Certainly, I expect the stakes to continue to rise and the battles to get more fierce, but exactly what form that is going to take is part of the fun for me! Suz: Have you met the hero who will step forward for the next book in this series? Addison: Not only have I met him, but my readers have met him too! The hero of WARRIOR BETRAYED, which is the third book in the series out next May, is my Taurus warrior, Quinn Tanner. As Kane’s story finishes up, Quinn’s got some baggage he needs to overcome. His stubborn Taurus personality has put some distance between he and his brothers and he’s going to spend much of WARRIOR BETRAYED looking to atone for that.  Suz: And do you have any news for us in regards to the future of Addison Fox? (Girl, you know you want to tell everyone!) Addison: Thank you for letting me share my news!!!! (Of course I want to tell!!!) I am so excited to continue writing the Sons of the Zodiac series for NAL/Signet Eclipse. I’m also very excited to announce that I will be writing a contemporary trilogy for them set in Alaska. Here’s a quick blurb on the first book: THE BACHELOR GAME, set in a small Alaska town whose three matriarchs, in a not-so-secret ploy to get their grandsons happily married off, host an annual contest that teams the town’s rugged bachelors with women from the Lower 48. I’m working on that right now and it’s due out late 2011. Thank you so much for having me today. I am so looking forward to visiting with everyone in the Lair!!! Suz: Addison will be giving away a signed copy of WARRIOR ASCENDED to one lucky commenter. Arming the Zodiac with Addison Fox!Posted by Suzanne Ferrell Mar 3 2010, 5:00 am in Addison Fox, paranormal romance, Sons of the Zodiac series, Suz Welsh interview with Suz
Suz: Congratulations on your first book, WARRIOR ASCENDED, hitting the bookstore shelves! We love a call story at the Bandit Lair, so please tell us how this first sale happened? Addison: I love telling this story – thank you for letting me share it!!! The call came on November 20, 2008. I was at work and I got an email from my agent, asking, “Are you going to be around tonight?” NAL had the overall series proposal and a proposal on the first book. I’d already made one round of revisions on the proposal and they’d agreed to look at it again and now we were just waiting to hear. I immediately called my sister (hey – if my productivity was shot for the day, hers could be, too!) and we spent quite a bit of time on the phone and in email trying to figure out the outcome. Fortunately it didn’t take all day and my agent called me around 2 to let me know NAL wanted to buy it. I had to slip out of a meeting to take the call and hide behind a wall of cubicles. So here I am, trying to take notes and not scream and jump up and down. I then started calling and emailing everyone I knew! Suz: I love the premise for the Sons Of The Zodiac series. Can you fill our readers in on it and how you came up with the idea? Addison: I wish I could explain the moment of connection, but I was sitting there on the couch watching TV, not even thinking about plotting and this idea of the zodiac and warriors popped into my head. Truly – it was this rare, “gift moment” that I have no idea where it came from. That said, never one to look a “gift moment” in the mouth What’s been the most fun part of the series is the richness available from a world-building perspective. The zodiac is unique and balanced so there are a multitude of traits to pull on from a character perspective. And then the Greek mythology component adds this really neat layer of world building that’s incredibly fun to draw from. Suz: These guys are all alpha males to the nth degree, just my favorite kind. Brody is the Leo Warrior. With 13 warriors to write about what made you decide to start with him?
Addison: Ava’s got a lot of baggage. Her father – a world famous archaeologist who discovered the famed Summoning Stones of Egypt – was murdered in front of her when she was young. The murder was always believed random, but it shook the very foundation of her life. She had a dream to follow in his footsteps, but from a more academic perspective as her fear of leaving the safe world she’s built around her has always kept her from field work. So instead, she’s put her love of archaeology into a career as a curator at the American Museum of Natural History. Brody is an overwhelming force in her life, but one she’s deeply attracted to. He also arrives at an incredibly important moment – she’s bringing her father’s work to a major exhibit at the museum. Although Brody’s presence in the museum is explained under the guise of museum security, she senses immediately he’s more than he seems. His presence also coincides with something else. Ava’s never told anyone, but she has horrible visions when she gets anywhere near the Stones. Although she’s suspicious of Brody’s sudden arrival, she quickly realizes she needs an ally as the power of the stones – and the visions they cause only her – grows stronger. Suz: Can you explain what the summoning stones are? Addison: The Summoning Stones are a very powerful piece of magic from the reign of Thutmose the III in ancient Egypt. Five, equally shaped stones, about the size of a woman’s hand, that were placed in museums around the world after their discovery. Ava’s exhibit is the first time they will be all brought back together. Each stone possesses a different quality – life, death, love, sexuality, infinity. When put together, they have the power to grant the one who can harness them – a “Chosen One” in every age – power over everything. While I don’t want to give anything away, betcha can’t guess who is the “Chosen One” of this age?. Suz: What’s next for the Sons Of The Zodiac? Addison: Ooooh – my Scorpio’s up next – Kane Montague. I love all my warriors, but Kane’s got a special place in my heart. When we meet him in WARRIOR ASCENDED, he’s just been duped (in a very sexy way) by a secret agent, going by the name of Ilsa. WARRIOR AVENGED begins six months later, when Kane finally runs down the sexy operative he’s not been able to get out of his head. Of course, both of them have some fairly large secrets and it’s going to take a whole lot of together time to make them realize they work far better together than alone. Suz: Ooooooooo Scropio…uh, just happens to be my favorite birth sign!! And Kane is yummo, ladies!! I love your heroes and love the feature interview you do with Brody on your website at http://www.addisonfox.com/index.php/leo/ Addison: So I’ve got a question for everyone. I absolutely love reading about astrology and I’m a total horoscope junkie. Do you all believe the stars influence our personalities or that there are traits that we hold that come from the sign we’re born under? Suz: Addison is giving away a signed copy of WARRIOR ASCENDED to one lucky commenter. P.S. And as always, if you click on the book, you can go to Amazon.com to order your own copy. And don’t forget, clicking on the Bandit books will do the same…and check out Bandit websites and my online story blog by clicking our pics! MAKE ME LAUGHPosted by Suzanne Ferrell Nov 28 2009, 6:19 am in Addison Fox, Jane Graves, Jo Davis, Julie Garwood, laughter, romanitc comedies, Sandy Blair, SEP, T-shirts by suzanne No, I’m not asking for your best Internet forward joke…although I have a great one best told in a bar with an Irish accent. What I want, what I’m craving is a funny book to read. A light-hearted fare or one where there are brilliant moments of comic relief.
In fact, the idea for this blog originally titled, “where have all the funny books gone?”, came from my daughter. She was going through a pregnancy, was home on maternity leave a few weeks early and was looking for books to read. She asked me, “Mom, I’m tired of reading serious, dark books. I want to laugh. I need a funny book, do you know of any?” So, I need some help. Who would you like to read? What writer makes you laugh? Who do you read when you want a good chuckle or to relieve some of the stress in your own life? |
