Welcome to my corner of the blogging world, Toni.
How has Amazon Montlake been to work with?
Hi Catherine. Great to be here and thanks for having me
here today. Montlake Romance has been great to work with. I’m really enjoying
the team and the other authors at Amazon.
What do you think about self publishing?
I think it’s wonderful authors have other options nowadays.
What do you love about being a writer?
I love setting my own targets and working to my own
schedule. I love getting those voices out of my head and down on paper so
people don’t think I’m nuts went I start talking to my imaginary friends in the
grocery queue.
What do you hate about being a writer?
Nothing much. Maybe the expansion of my butt, and bad
reviews. I need to schedule more exercise for the former. The latter I don’t
mind that much J—it’s all about finding
your audience. Not everyone is going to love your work. It’s a fact writers
have to live with.
Nearly all romance novels have shhh, sex, in them. How do you
answer the never ending question, Why do you write THAT kind of book? Or even
better… How do you do your RESEARCH?
Ugh. This drives me mad because people are rarely shocked
if I kill someone in a story but, god, if my characters have sex it can turn
into the Spanish Inquisition. No one ever offers to be my next victim although
I have a few people in mind J. Romance novels are about relationships and the place
where people are most intimate (generally) is while stripped bare (emotionally
as well as physically) having sex. My family copes with the idea of me writing
sex scenes so everyone else can take it or leave it.
What do you like better, Twitter or Facebook?
Why?
I like both actually. If I had to chose I’d go for Facebook
because it’s more visual and I get to see what my nieces and nephews are up to.
But I love following something on Twitter and just being so connected to the
world. But I don’t have a smart phone so I get to leave it all behind when I’m
not online. I like that too.
And the most important question ever... Do you roll your
toilet paper over the roll or under the roll?
If I do it in the dark anything can happen. Otherwise it’s
over. J
Tell us about your latest release
and were we can find it.
My latest release is DANGEROUS
WATERS, a Romantic Suspense story set in a remote town on Vancouver Island. It
features a RCMP heroine and a former Special Forces hero. There’s a cold case
mystery and a current murder to solve. I hope people enjoy reading it and much
as I enjoyed writing it J. It comes out on November 20th and is available in print,
digital and audio from Amazon,
as well as other bookstores.

Here is the blurb:
Sergeant Holly Rudd arrives in the coastal community of Bamfield after local divers discover a body with a knife jutting from its chest in the waters of Barkley Sound. As she investigates the crime, Holly soon realizes the sleepy town is rife with secrets. But what unsettles her most is the residents’ insistence that she bears a striking resemblance to the victim of a murder from three decades earlier. She shrugs off the uncanny likeness as a coincidence. But her simmering attraction to Finn Carver, one of the divers who discovered the corpse, isn’t so easy to ignore.
Finn, a former Special Forces soldier, knows it’s best to keep his distance from Holly. Yet it isn’t long before they both give in to the consuming desire they share. And as the danger escalates, Finn and Holly must rely on each other to thwart the plans of a cold-blooded killer who’s intent on keeping the past buried.
