Today, fellow author Kat Schuessler is stopping by to talk
about her latest book!
Hello! Thank you for having me here.
Of course! So, let me ask a few questions since
you're here...
All right.
Can you tell us a little about your latest book? When did it come
out and where can we get it?
It
originally came out last April 21st, but was recently re-released in mid-March.
You can get it on Amazon or CreateSpace.
Great!
So, what inspired you to write this book? And how
did you get into writing romance?
My
book was inspired by a heartbreak that I suffered in 2011 and by the man that
helped me get through it with some sanity. As for the romance genre, I decided
to give it a try after I read Kresley Cole's "Immortals After Dark"
series and discovered that dirty writing was acceptable and even craved by some
women. It helped me write what came naturally without feeling self-conscious
about it.
So, tell us...what, do you feel, sets your
book apart from other books in the genre?
I
think that the way I wrote No
Backward Glances is more realistic than most romance books. I tried to
stick with what people would actually say and do so that it didn't come across
as a cliché run-of-the-mill romance novel, and from what I've read in reviews
readers seem to appreciate that.
Please give us a teaser or two of the book if you
can.
Rory felt a fluttering in her
stomach that she hadn’t felt in a long time. She tried to tell herself it was
hunger, or stress from her long morning, and not that incredible grin or his
sexy gaze that held her eyes. But a large part of her wasn’t convinced. She
pushed that thought away, not willing or ready to think about it yet.
The two finished eating, and talked
about everything from music to books and movies until they realized that their
plates had been empty for about an hour.
“Shit, I have to get back. Jon is
going to kill me.” Rory started to gather her tray, mug and silverware.
“Here, I’ve got it. Go back to work
before you get in trouble.” Jay grabbed for her dishes but she moved them out
of his reach.
“Thanks, but I’ll get it.”
“Lorelai, give me the dishes.”
“No,” she exclaimed. “I’ve got it!”
“You’re so stubborn! Fine, take
them.” Jay let go of the dishes he’d been trying to grab, and Rory stumbled
backwards. Jay grabbed at her to stop her fall and instinctively pulled her
into him. They both felt the static shock as her body fit perfectly against
his, her soft curves melting into his lean muscles.
For a brief moment, they both forgot
that Rory’s break was far overdue. They were caught in each other's eyes and
arms, and both of their breathing had become shallow. Going on his instinct
again, Jay angled his lips closer to Rory’s still not taking his eyes off of
her vivid green ones. Just as their lips were about to meet, his walkie-talkie
blared.
Nice tension there!
Let's try another question, okay?
I'm sure readers are curious about your next
writing project. Can you tell us what you've got cooking up now or is that a
secret?
I'm
working on sequels to NBG. I've already got the second book in the series,
Think of Me, ready for editing and I'm
currently writing the third, Twisted
Every Way. I even have ideas for a fourth swimming around. There will
definitely be more from me.
That's great! We certainly look forward
to your next book!
Thanks so much for
stopping by to tell us about No Backward Glances, Kat!
Thank you, Marie, for having me on your blog!
You're welcome! It's always a pleasure!
Readers, you'll just have to pick up a copy of this fascinating, steamy romantic suspense!
Here is the blurb for No Backward Glances.
When Lorelai Todd has her heart shattered by her boyfriend,
she vows to never trust a man again. Six months later, she is called to the
hospital where she works to help with an
emergency. She speeds to get there and is pulled over by Jay, the handsome cop
that will eventually threaten to break down the walls around her heart.
After
pulling over the beautiful nurse that caught his eye, Jay regrets not asking
her out, until he is called to the hospital to identify a potential kidnapping
victim who has been shot. When he arrives at the hospital to speak with the
nurse in charge, he is surprised and happy to discover that it's Lorelai, the
beauty he pulled over for speeding. He wastes no time in asking her out and she
accepts, but hesitantly.
As their relationship progresses and gets significantly
steamier, Jay wonders whether or not he can convince her to let her guard down
and trust him while also trying to track down the man who kidnapped and shot
the young victim that brought them together.
While he's
wooing Lorelai, Jay also has to follow leads, examine new evidence, and deal
with the shock of an unexpected suspect. In the midst of all of this, somebody
from his past shows up and threatens to ruin all of the progress he's made with
Lorelai. Can he convince her that he won't hurt her like her ex, or will she
throw away her chance at happiness for fear of her heart breaking once more?
