Welcome Nikki, please,
tell us about your latest release…
My latest release is called Irish
Comfort. It’s a story about love and
friendship and of course hot sex.
How
did you come up with the idea for this story?
I wanted to do a free read and I
also wanted to do a Saint Patrick’s Day story.
Once I decided that’s what I wanted the story came to me.
Describe
in 3 to 5 words the characters from Irish
Comfort.
Intense, fun, loving and
passionate.
What
was the hardest part about writing Irish
Comfort?
The
short length, because with a short story as short as this one is, I had to make
sure that there was a true connection between the characters and that it wasn’t
rushed.
What’s
your usual writing process like?
I get an idea and I just write what
comes. I’m a panster and can never plot to save my life.
What
are we going to see next from you?
I’m
currently writing a series within the Naughty Fairy Tale series from Evernight
Publishing. It’s great fun. So far I have Waking Beauty (releases May
2013), Cinda’s Fella (June 2013) and Ridin’ Red (June 2013) and I’m currently
working on a fourth story and have an idea for a fifth.
Delving into the mind of the author…
Complete the
following sentences:
If you were
a fruit you’d be__Strawberry_____
If you were
a tree you’d be ___Magnolia Tree____
If you were

If you were
a candy bar you’d be ____a snickers___
If you were

Bonus question:

a super power it’d be ____the power to make everyone love everyone. Why? There is just too much hate going on in this
world. So sad.

How about a teaser excerpt?
Teaser:
“Boxty on the griddle, boxty on the pan; if you
can’t make boxty, you'll never get a man’.” –Irish Folktale
“Girl, do you even know how to make Irish food?”
Imani looked over at her sister Sonia and
laughed. Sonia had the most skeptical look on her face. “Yes, Soni, I can make
Irish food. Besides before Sky’s mother passed away she’d sent me her recipes
for everything that I’ve made for him tonight.”
Sonia crossed her brown eyes and made a silly
face at her, and Imani could not stop the laugh that escaped.
“Do you think I’d try to pretend I knew how to
cook it? If I did that this whole plan could backfire.”
“What are you planning on making him?” Sonia took
a deep breath. “Least it smells good in here, so I guess you do get what you’re
doing.” She chuckled.
“I’m making bangers and mash, along with corn
beef and cabbage and boxties.”
“Okay, I’ve heard of the first two, but what the
heck are boxties?”
“Basically an Irish potato pancake.” She couldn’t
stop the smile that spread over her face as she perused her sister.
“So tell me your plan again?” Sonia questioned.
“Basically, Soni, Skylar has been feeling
homesick. I plan to show him some Southern California comfort via the Irish
way.”
“Ah, so the whole ‘the way to a man’s heart is
through his stomach’ deal?”
“In a nutshell, yes, that’s exactly my plan. Sky
hasn’t been himself lately and the closer we got to today, which is Saint
Patrick’s Day, it’s gotten even worse. I want to show him that home is wherever
he lays his head and that I can take care of him and give him what he needs. I
want him to smile again.”
Thanks so much for having me Elyzabeth. It's a pleasure to be on your blog.
