Interview and giveaway with Rebecca Royce

Thanks for coming today, Rebecca… and thank you for offering a download from you backlist. So, dear blog readers, see details at the end of this post.

Let's get a little of the formalities out of the way. Tell us a little about your self and the genre you write.

My name is Rebecca Royce. I write mostly paranormal romance with occasional delves into fantasy romance, science fiction romance, and contemporary romance.

What do you love about being a writer?

I love telling stories. It’s such a gift.

What do you hate about being a writer?

When a story isn’t going well. And sometimes promo can be a challenge too.

If there was one thing about the industry you could change, what would it be?

I’m not sure. That’s a good question.  I’m pretty happy in my little corner of the world. I’m not sure I want to make changes…I’d be concerned about fallout that I couldn’t anticipate. (I do write science fiction. LOL)

What do you like better, Twitter or Facebook? Why?

Twitter somedays and Facebook somedays. I don’t like how Facebook is always altering.

And the most important question ever... Do you roll your toilet paper over the roll or under the roll?

Under. LOL

Tell us about your latest release and were we can find it.

I’ll Be Mated For Christmas is a Decadent Publishing 1NS novel.  If you are unfamiliar with the 1NS series, it is a multi-authored series that features one night between a couple set up by the mysterious Madame Eve who run a dating service.  Each book is a short story that features one night and how it changes the couples life.

Here is a blurb for I’ll Be Mated For Christmas.

Bethany Johnson grew up one of the only humans in a pack of werewolves. She didn’t have an easy time and her self-confidence was almost non-existent. Finally, after some serious psychotherapy and the help of weight-loss surgery, she is feeling like the Bethany she has always wanted to be. But now she has to say goodbye to the werewolves in her life. Out with the old and in with the new this year…

Luke Denarius is the new Alpha of the Delta pack. He’s never met Bethany but the second he scents her he knows she is his. No way is she going off to Italy for adventure and hot sex with other men.

With the help of Madame Eve these two will find that a mating is in the works for Christmas.

I'm all about twitter and facebook, so can you be sure and add your handles and links here....

Blog Tour with Rebecca Royce ~World Building ~

 Today I have Rebecca Royce on tour with her new release, Embraced. Great cover, BTW ~ I asked her to talk to us about world building.

Take it away, Rebecca.

World Building

When writing a book, like Embraced, World Building is actually a little bit complicated? Why, you might ask? Well because Embraced is a world that is now but not actually our now.  Have I confused you?

Starting in the world of Eye Contact, I created a world where people with psychic abilities exist but are locked away in Institutions to keep the general public safe.  This idea continues in Embraced. 

So right away we have certain truths and certain things that are the same.  There are still countries.  They still exist.  Laws in those countries are the same as they are today except for additional laws handling the Conditioned.  The USA still has the Constitution but there are amendments excluding the Conditioned from The Bill of Rights.

There are still things like cell phone, Swiss Bank Accounts, fast cars, and restaurants. There are shopping malls.  But there are also hidden societies helping to free the Conditioned and groups out to find them where they hide. 

So, for me, creating Embraced wasn’t so much about what was different as much as what was added.  It had to work within the confines of now. If this was possible, if it could happen, then it had to work logically.  Everything had to be the same except for what was an additional element. 

I hope I’ve made sense and that you might like to spend some time getting to know the world I’ve made up.  Or have I made it up? (wink-wink)
