Guest Author, Shiloh Walker & Giveaway!

by sue on Dec.16, 2009, under Book Chat

Shiloh Walker has been writing since she was a kid. She fell in love with vampires with the book Bunnicula and has worked her way up to the more…ah…serious vampire stories. She loves reading and writing anything paranormal, anything fantasy, and nearly every kind of romance. Once upon a time she worked as a nurse, but now she writes full time and lives with her family in the Midwest.

Hunter’s Need, by Shiloh Walker

Setting: Contemporary, set in Alaska
Subgenre: Paranormal/Shapeshifters
Hero: Duke Lawson
Heroine: Ana Morrell59550094 a Guest Author, Shiloh Walker & Giveaway!

One sentence summary: A reluctant hero and an even more reluctant heroine have to overcome their troubled past to help the ghost of a murdered woman find justice.

Scene you like most and would never cut: Probably the scene where Duke surprises Ana after he shows up in Alaska, without letting her know he was coming.  She’s tired, she’s cranky, she’s pissed off and for the first time, she doesn’t try to be polite…and that amuses the hell out of Duke.58971962 a Guest Author, Shiloh Walker & Giveaway!

Thing your heroine would never be caught dead doing/saying: Hard to say, because Ana changes a lot in this book-she hates conflict and tries to avoid it, but in the story, she has to place herself in right in the middle of a huge conflict.  She’s not much for vampires, though—she has a deep, deep fear of them because of events that happened in an earlier book, so she’s not very likely to go chasing after a vamp and saying, “Oh, please, please bite me…”

Your hero, is he a boxer or brief kind of guy: Boxer-briefs.  Or nothing.

Ancillary character you had the most fun with: Brad, Ana’s younger brother.  He’s a cocky kid with a lot of power and he’s way too intelligent for his own good.

Your heroine’s favorite hobby: Photography or reading.59423776 c Guest Author, Shiloh Walker & Giveaway!

Your hero’s favorite hobby: Reading.  Hiking.  Annoying Ana.

What you think readers will like best about this book: Hopefully the characters…Ana isn’t the typical butt-kicking heroine you see in paranormals.  She’s psychic, but she’s human.  She’s spent the past four years of her life surrounded by vampires and werewolves and witches—she views herself as weak, and while she definitely isn’t Buffy the Vampire slayer material, she’s got a deep inner strength.  She doesn’t see that, but Duke does…he sees the strength, just as he sees her flaws, and he loves her, all of her.59419827 c Guest Author, Shiloh Walker & Giveaway!

The person that readers want you to write about but you haven’t yet: Up until this past year, the answer to that would be Nessa, the witch who appeared in my earlier Hunter books.  But I finished her book, so I guess the next character would be Morne, the healer who appeared in Through the Veil.

What’s next: I’m currently working on a romantic suspense trilogy that will be out in 2011 from Ballantine.  The tentative titles are : If You Hear Her, If You See Her and If You Know Her.

Giveaway:  Five signed copies of Hunter’s Need. 59550094 a Guest Author, Shiloh Walker & Giveaway!
