Setting: Regency Ireland
Subgenre: historical-paranormal
Hero: Aidan Douglas, Earl of Kilronan
Heroine: Cat O’Connell
One sentence summary: Lord and thief race to unravel a mysterious diary’s dark secrets while struggling against a dangerous passion.
Scene you like most and would never cut: Aidan’s cliff-climbing scene. For me, this part of his character is tangled up with his continuing effort to live up to his dead father’s expectations even as the horrible truth about him unfolds. It’s always difficult for a child to reconcile the love they have for a parent with the anger they might feel for that parent’s sins. Something Aidan struggles with throughout the book.
Thing your heroine would never be caught dead doing/saying: “Rescue me, you big hunky strong man.” 
Your hero, is he a boxer or brief kind of guy: In 1815, he’s commando all the way.
Ancillary character you had the most fun with: Jack O’Gara, definitely. Aidan’s wise-cracking cousin tried desperately to take over every scene he was in. I had to beat him back with a stick to keep him in line.
Your heroine’s favorite hobby: Breaking and entering
Your hero’s favorite hobby: Cliff-climbing for reasons stated above.
What you think readers will like best about this book: I hope readers come away loving these characters and this world as much as I do.
The person that readers want you to write about but you haven’t yet: I’ve had readers ask what happened to Dangerous As Sin’s Brodie MacKay. Someday I would love to write his story.
What’s next: The second book in the Heirs of Kilronan trilogy, LORD OF SHADOWS is due to hit stores in July 2011 with the third book whose title is TBA releasing in January 2012.
There’s only three more days until the New Year! My resolution for 2011 is to exercise regularly—according to my doctor, typing doesn’t count. What’s your resolution for the new year? And did you follow through on the one you made for 2010?
Comment and you’ll be entered to win a copy of EARL OF DARKNESS along with an extra little bonus gift I couldn’t resist. Thanks again for letting me come and chat with you. It’s been a pleasure!
