Tempting a Prince, Once Chance & Silent Night's Seduction.
(You can read my thoughts on each here)
Welcome Clarissa!
Clarissa: Well, I've been writing since I was a kid, but I never
knew I really wanted to become a writer until I decided to make a change in my
life. Five years ago, I quit my job as a manager at a spa, packed up all my stuff,
got on a plane, and moved to Hawaii from New York. Jobless, with nothing to do
but hangout at the beach, walk the harbor, go shopping and sightseeing, all I
did was catch up on the reading I never had time for when I was working. And I
started going through my old stories, and actually decided to make something of
it. Since then, I've been chasing my dreams that I never knew I had. So I can't
say I was born a writer. It just kind of came to me, and I love it! Clarissa:They're usually from everything. I could be watching a show on cooking or even HSN, the shopping channel, and ideas would come to me. I used to love sitting on the beach and staring at the blue waves and just brainstorming. Now that I've moved back to the mainland, my muse has been having a fit.
Kari: What is your favorite book so far?
Kari: What exciting projects are waiting in the wings?
Clarissa: I'm actually working on a series for Entangled
right now. The first book, my editor has, and I hope she likes it. *fingers
crossed* I do have a new release coming soon on February 2nd, called True
Connections, which will be released along with Entangled's Valentine's
Anthology. It's about Lia, who has returned to her hometown to open a
matchmaking company, and with grandmothers who dapple in everything, they try
to hook her up with her nemesis by having Lia find Max a date to the
Valentine's party. You never know when love is going to bite you.
Kari: Who is your favorite literary character and why?
Clarissa: I love watching Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Lizzie just comes off as the girl that I want to be. Courageous, brave, and always speaking her mind. And the way she finds love...*sigh*. Oh, Mr. Darcy.
Kari: Just for fun, if you could be any animal, what would it be and why?
Clarissa: I would LOVE to be a panda bear. Well, one, they're
my favorite. Two, bamboo is probably good for you. And it's pretty.
Three...wait, panda's aren't skinny, are they?
Thank you so much for having me here!
