Guest Post with Author Ashlyn Chase and Giveaway

Meet Ashlyn Chase, author of the new book, How to Date a Dragon.

Ashlyn Chase describes herself as an Almond Joy bar. A little nutty, a little flaky, but basically sweet, wanting only to give her readers a satisfying experience.

She holds a degree in behavioral sciences, worked as a psychiatric RN for several years and spent a few more years working for the American Red Cross. She credits her sense of humor to her former careers since comedy helped preserve whatever was left of her sanity. She is a multi-published, award-winning author of humorous erotic and paranormal romances, represented by the Seymour Agency.

She lives in beautiful New Hampshire with her true-life hero husband who’d look like Hugh Jackman if you dyed his hair, and they’re owned by a spoiled brat cat.

If you were stranded on an island with one of your characters, who would you choose to be there and why?

This is an easy question to answer. Drake Cameron is a dragon shifter, and he can fly. He doesn’t do it often—that would alert humans to the fact that dragons exist. So for the safety of the few dragons that are left, he rarely uses paranormal abilities that would send up red flags. However, I’m sure I could convince him to fly me back to land under cover of darkness. He’s a reasonable guy and a natural rescuer. Besides, I’m his creator, so I can make him do just about anything I want.

Notice I didn’t say absolutely anything. I’ve had characters go on strike when I tried to make them do things they didn’t agree with or prevent them from doing something they really, really wanted to try. The characters in his book were cooperative, I’m delighted to say.

Drake is the perfect fire fighter. He’s fireproof, so when there’s a fire in Boston he’s usually the first one into the building and the last one out. Unfortunately, his chief begins to wonder if Drake has a death wish. And he’s pushing the chief toward an early grave when he takes crazy chances.

Once, he went back into a fully engulfed building to rescue a couple of greyhounds. He wound up getting a medal for that. The chief hated giving it to him, but they were the mayor’s dogs. What could he do?

But when Drake went back into another fire for a resident’s computer, well that was it! The chief suspended him for a week. Bliss Russo witnessed the dressing down he received for rescuing her computer, and she felt terrible. She had begged him to go back in after it, because she was in a TV competition and all her greeting card designs were on that computer.

All she can do is learn from the event. “Note to self: Next time a hottie fireman carries you out of a burning building, remember to grab the computer with your whole life on it!”

Before I go, I’d like to mention that I’ll be attending the Coastal Magic Conference, Feb 6th through 9th, 2014, in Daytona Beach, FL. Details can be found here: http://coastalmagicconvention.wordpress.com/

It’s the first time I’ve been invited to a conference as a guest author/speaker/entertainer, or whatever they want me to do. What can I say? I’m an extrovert, and unlike my characters I can be talked into anything. LOL

Let the Sparks Fly…

Bliss Russo thought nothing exciting ever happened in her life. Until her building caught on fire and she had to be carried out of the flames in the arms of a gorgeous fireman. Sure, her apartment is now in shambles and she'll have to start her huge work project completely from scratch. But at least her love life is finally looking up...if only she can find her red-hot rescuer again.

Dragon shapeshifter Drake Cameron is the last of his clan, and the loneliness is starting to claw at him. He's met only one woman who might be able to stand the shock of his true nature. After all, she barely batted an eyelash when her home burned down. And feeling her curves against him was just as hot as the inferno. Just when he thinks he'll never track her down, she walks into his firehouse—with no idea what she's about to get herself into...
