Even good girls make mistakes.
Kira was shocked to meet her boss’s handsome, long-absent son and find him even more lethal in the flesh. He’d always been just a face in a photo - and nothing had prepared her for the way they clashed and burned when they finally met.
Blake Carter returned to America for a reunion with a father he hadn’t seen since he was ten. But Blake had never bargained for falling for his father’s sexy secretary, the beautiful and impressionable Kira Taylor…
Blake caught one glimpse of the gorgeous beauty from across the crowded room and felt the primal taste of desire like he’d never known. The sparks were more antagonism than attraction on her part as they collided over differences about the way he treated his father. But Blake had very strong persuasive skills when it came to bringing the vulnerable Kira to bend to his carnal passions…

What Keeps a Series going in your mind? Did you know up front before the first book that it would be a series and did you map them out?

What keeps a series going?

The day I finished writing Remedy Maker, my award-winning fantasy romance, I instantly thought, “What’s next?”

Thanks to my outspoken readers (whom I love very much!), they shouted which character should get a spotlight in their own book. As any good author would, I listened and took notes.

Originally, I didn’t plan on writing a series. Of course, I didn’t plan on writing an epic fantasy either! But the story couldn’t end with Rhycious, it had to continue. And thus, a series was born.

What keeps a series alive is an underlying theme. In Star Wars, it was the rebels Luke Skywalker and Hans Solo fighting the evil empire and Darth Vader. In the Black Dagger Brotherhood series of JR Ward, it’s fighting lessers and the Omega through each character’s eyes.

A series is a sequence of books having certain characteristics in common that are formally identified together as a group. In essence; it’s the continued movement toward each book’s common goal. 

Because I didn’t map out my books in a series format prior to writing, I’m enjoying the adventure right along with my readers. It felt natural for Aleksander to be in Book 2, Troll-y Yours, because he was Rhycious’s best friend appeared often in Remedy Maker.

Unbeknownst to anyone, I’ve kept tabs on which characters are mentioned the most who don’t have their own book yet. And yes, I’ve started Book 3 in The Centaurs series and am really excited about it. I hope you will be, too.

Always on the hunt for the uncommon things in life, award winning author Sheri Fredricks thrives on creating adventures in her mythological kingdom for her readers.

A former engineering secretary, Sheri lives on the beautiful central coast of California. "I wanted to move away from inflexible right angles and create an unboxed world with no boundaries." A voracious reader since her early years, Sheri found her brain crowded with stories and characters of her own. "Ultimately," she says, "my husband encouraged me to write them all down."

Sheri loves to spend time at home. A computer hutch keeps her focused on creating stories, but the panoramic view of life on a ranch will call her outside to play in the sun.

Where do the ideas for your books come from?

The Impostor, A Love story began as my story. I had escaped an abusive relationship and went to Alaska to begin my life over again. While I was there a sick man took and interest in me and I had to escape the stalker. But then my muse created Dylan and my suspense became a love story. My muse is pretty sassy.  She is the one in charge. 

Have you ever co-written book/books? If so was it difficult? If not would you ever consider co-writing with another author?

I am working on a book called Out of the Shadows. It is a collective anthology about women who have broken away from the cycle of abuse and are starting their life over. It is a project I began because of something I had gone through and have found so many women share the same pain. I am hoping we will be able to at least help on woman realize that there is life after abuse. If any of your readers would like to be part of the book they should PM me and email me at tiffanycarmouche@ymail.com They can write a poem, describe what they went through, or make a graphic, or even just send in a quote. I am currently collecting submissions.

Where do you get your character names from?

I just used names that I liked… 

What type of research goes into your writing?

I do a lot of research. My favorite is when I am interviewing someone who works in criminal justice over bubble tea, to get in the head of my serial killer. There is nothing like talking about the methods of hunting a victim while the surrounding people wonder if you are planning a murder for real.

Are your family and friends supportive of your writing?

Yes and no! Some very much so. Others not at all…  

Do you remember when your interest in writing came about?

I was always encouraged to be creative but I think the first time I identified myself as a writer was in 5th grade. My teacher Mr Kuykedall got  a poem I had written published and he gave me a blank journal to fill before the end of school when he saw my love for writing. Teachers really can make a difference!

Other then writing what are your interest?

I love sculpting, dancing, traveling, spending time with my girls, and love the outdoors! Especially in the fall! It is magical!

Did you learn anything from writing your books, if so what was it?

I learned how much I love my muse! And how amazing my fans are! I truly have the best fans EVER!! I am learning auto spell check is from the devil and that I will never stop writing again… it is in my blood  And I have learned that writing is more than just writing! All of a sudden you have to wear 100 hats you never knew existed before 

What are your current WIP? Can you share with us?

I just released Becoming Invisible,  the third book in The Alaskan Heart Saga. I am currently working on the fourth book. I am hoping to get it out in late fall.

Quote  

By Marianne Williamsonfrom “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are younot to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Movie 

I love The Guardian, Braveheart, What’s Your Number, (Chris Evans) and the list goes on and on! 

Music 

I love the Goo Goo Dolls, Second Hand Serenade, Marina Desiree, and so much more.

This or That

Day or Night 

Both!!! Sorry  If you had said morning or night… I would have said night! But sunny afternoons are awesome!

Rain or Snow  

Again both! I love rainstorms and jumping in mud puddles and just the sound of them. But I love a good snow! Maybe that is one reason… it is the Alaskan Heart Saga 

Facebook or Twitter 

Facebook! I haven’t gotten use to twitter yet… I use it but not well  I love spending time with all my friends, fans and family on facebook!!

Mac or PC

 PC or notebook or crayon… whatever I can get a hold of when my muse strikes

Coffee or Tea  

Coffee with lots of cream and sugar or Almond bubble tea.
