Interview with Author Liz Carlyle and Giveaway

Today I would like to welcome to RFTC author, Liz Carlyle. Liz is celebrating the recent release of her book A Bride by Moonlight and has stopped by to answer a few questions. Please give Liz a warm welcome.

A lifelong Anglophile, Liz Carlyle cut her teeth reading gothic novels under the bedcovers by flashlight. She is the author of over twenty historical romances, including several New York Times bestsellers. Liz travels incessantly, ever in search of the perfect setting for her next book. Along with her genuine romance-hero husband and four very fine felines, she makes her home in North Carolina.

First off, can you tell us a bit about you?
There isn’t much to say. I’m married and live in North Carolina with my husband and our four cats, and I have a vast extended family. That pretty much sums up the focus of my life.

Did you always want to be a writer?
When I was young, I thought perhaps I might make my way in the world in some sort of writing-related career, but I never envisioned writing fiction until quite late in life.

What kind of writer are you? Panster or Plotter?
Total panster.

Where do your ideas come from?
I have no clue. Sometimes they literally wake me up in the middle of the night.

A la Twitter style, can you describe your book (or series) in 140 characters or less.
A story of two worthy people who find love and redemption.

What are some of your favorite kinds of stories to read?
The last few years I’ve craved police procedurals, but I rarely have time to read one.

Do you have a favorite book and if so what is it?
Wow. Tough one. Today I’d have to go with The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest, just because I really love to see good triumph over evil. But ask me tomorrow and you’ll get a different answer. Charlotte’s Web. Pride and Prejudice. The Wizard of Oz. The Grand Sophy. Anything by Michael Connelly or James Lee Burke . . .

What are the scenes that are the hardest for you to write?
Any scene that the hero or heroine is going to misinterpret in the narrative—those Big Misunderstanding scenes.

If you could have dinner with any three authors, who would you choose and why?
Oh, I could not choose. There are too many great ones. And as all my author friends will tell you, it pretty much takes a stick of dynamite to blow me out of the house as it is.

Last question, are you working on anything right now?
I’m always working on something! I just put the finishing touches on In Love With a Wicked Man, which will be out later this year.

I would turn the tables, and ask Question #7 – what is your favorite book, and why?

Royden Napier, Baron Saint-Bryce, is tall, dark, and ruthless—and on the hunt for a dangerous beauty . . . On the eve of her escape to the Continent, bold, beautiful Lisette Colburne accepts a proposal she dare not refuse: masquerade as the future bride of the steely-eyed Royden Napier and help him solve his most dangerous case. Soon Lisette is in even greater danger—of losing her heart to the one man with the power to destroy her . . .

Estranged from his aristocratic family, the enigmatic Napier has forged a reputation as Scotland Yard's most relentless police commissioner. He's vowed to bring Lisette to justice—but with every forbidden kiss and every tantalizing touch, he finds himself becoming less convinced of her guilt . . . and more certain he must have her. But when danger touches Lisette, can he save her?
