Author Interview - Devin Sloane
Q&A:
Q1: What is the name
of your latest book and what inspired it?
Feel Again is the 3rd Bridgewater Novel and all my writing has been inspired by the quote “Write hard and clear about what hurts.” Ernest Hemingway.
Q2: What are five words
that describe your writing process?
Tigger, loud, spinning, wrestling, intense.
Q3: What authors, or
books have influenced you?
Kristen Ashley’s Magdalene series. I loved reading about older MCs. I also really enjoy quite a few of Jody Ellen Malpas. These two might be the biggest influencers. I also love Rebecca Zanetti’s vamps.
Q4: What do you need
in your writing space to help you stay focused?
Music and headphones. And somebody needs to confiscate my cell phone.
Q5. What, to you, are
the most important elements of good writing?
It’s got to be honest and I need to be able to see it in my mind.
Q6: What is the best
advice you have ever heard?
I kissed my forties and all my f**ks goodbye. A friend of mine once said this to me and it has stuck as something I aspire to do more than I do.
Q7: What is your
favourite genre to read?
Romance - probably
paranormal, and near anything Kristen Ashley.
Q8: What comes first
for you — the plot or the characters — and why?
Characters and
individual scenes. I’ll hear a song and people start to populate my head,
showing me their story like a movie clip.
Q9: What are you
working on now?
I am developing my
4th book.
Q10: What are you
currently reading?
I’m currently reading an ARC of Bed of Nails for Nola Marie
Read an exerpt of Feel Again below. Release date August 30!
The tension I had
felt between us ratcheted up fourteen levels. I stepped closer to him, drawn to
him without conscious thought. I looked up into his face. He tipped his chin
down and continued to hold my eyes.
“You have the most
beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen in my life,” I murmured.
I was an artist. I
noticed things like this, but anyone would notice his eyes. A true hazel, the
dusky ring of his iris held a kaleidoscope of blue and green and brown, their
colors mixing with the light making it impossible to discern a clear delineation
between one color and the next.
“I could look at them
all day,” I mused aloud as he held himself perfectly still not six inches in
front of me.
My eyes took a tour
of his face, his high cut cheekbones, the laugh lines at the corners of his
eyes, the grooves of his forehead, his firm perfectly formed lips framed by
that scruffy beard. He was older than me, I vaguely noted.
Suddenly his lips
parted in a wide, white grin and my eyes flew back up to his now smiling ones.
“Are you done?”
