Interview + Giveaway with Terry Spear
Welcome to our Virtual tour stop of Terry Spear's A Highland Wolf Wedding brought to you by Sourcebooks.
1. Tell us five
things about yourself that readers may not know about you.
TS: 1) I make an excellent puppy sitter. I’m not too old to
learn new tricks—recently learned how to teach my daughter’s Pembroke Welsh
Corgi nine-week old puppy how to lie down, sit up, and am housebreaking him.
2) Ate red snapper sushi with avocado and fried shrimp at a
Japanese restaurant.
3) Stopped on the highway to take pictures of the wildflowers.
(normally, I don’t do this!)
4) Fell in love with a new chocolate treat—Lacy’s dark
chocolate almond macaroon. Yum.
5) Love watching Romancing the Stone, the Princess Bride, Practical Magic, and Galaxy Quest.
5) Love watching Romancing the Stone, the Princess Bride, Practical Magic, and Galaxy Quest.
2. What does a
typical writing day look for you?
TS: Blog first thing, tweet, FB, then it’s off to the world
of jaguars or werewolves. Often I’ll reread what I wrote from the beginning and
begin writing the new part of the story. Green tea is a must. Nothing else is
required. Except for my muse…who sometimes plays hide and seek.
3. Tell us a
little bit about A Highland Werewolf
Wedding and why readers should check it out?
TS: If you like werewolves and hunky Highlanders—old
Scottish castles, hot wolfish men in kilts, weddings, Irish wolfhounds,
romance, mystery, and fun…then you’ll just have to check out A Highland Werewolf Wedding!
4. What was the
easiest and hardest scene to write in A
Highland Werewolf Wedding?
TS: The easiest scene was Cearnach and Elaine’s meeting. I
was dying to have him wear a kilt in the beginning of the story, so it seemed
perfect to have him on his way to a Highland wedding—and run into the heroine.
Do you think she acts impressed with a man wearing a kilt? The hardest is
always the end where I want to wrap everything up but I hate to leave the
characters that I have grown to love.
5. What kind of qualities does Cearnach have that will
make readers fall head over heels over him? (By the way...I just LOVE his
name...I fell in love with him the minute he was introduced in the previous
Highlander Wolf books)
TS: Ah, thanks so much!! For each of the brothers, I found a name that
worked well for their personalities. For Cearnach, in Gaelic, his name means
Victorious. And he is! Because he believes he will be. He was so much fun to
write about. If a woman he doesn’t know suggests he take off his Prince Charlie
jacket and his shirt to protect them from the rain, he wouldn’t hesitate. If
she suggests he takes off ALL his clothes, he’s happy to oblige. If she’s in any
kind of trouble, he will be there, sword in hand to protect her…with or without
his kilt…and when they’re being chased by dogs while they’re in their wolf
forms, he’ll take rear guard to watch their backs. Not that our heroine,
Elaine, doesn’t stand up for them, too—if a man threatens Cearnach, she’s
willing to step in the way to stop the fracas, even if she’s on the receiving
end of the violence.
6. How many books are
planned for the Heart of the Wolf Series? (Here's hoping there is plenty
of more since I LOVE this series)
TS: J
Plenty more stories to come! In October, look for A SEAL Wolf Christmas. In 2014, another three wolf books are
scheduled! So look for Silence of the
Wolf (January 2014), A Hero of a
Highland Wolf (August 2014), and Mistletoe,
Mayhem and a Highland Wolf (October
2014)… And let’s not forget about my Jaguars! Jaguar Fever hits stores in August 2013, and Jaguar Hunt in Spring 2014, and another one in Fall 2014 (exact
release months to come soon, and titles might change for the releases further
out!). And more are already being lined
up for the next year also. J
7. What are your
favorite type of characters to write and least favorite type of characters to
write?
TS: I love all the characters—the good and the bad, the main
and the secondary characters! They all
have their special parts in the story. They help to tell the main characters’
story.
8. Do you ever suffer with writer's block and if you do, how do you deal with it?
8. Do you ever suffer with writer's block and if you do, how do you deal with it?
TS: No, never!!! I refuse to have writer’s block. Well, of
course sometimes my muse leaves me, and sometimes taking a break, working on
something else, or brainstorming will work and then I’m back to writing the
adventure. But writer’s block is not in my vocabulary.
9. What is up next
for Terry Spear in 2013?
TS: Look for Wade Patterson and Maya Anderson to mix it up
in Jaguar Fever in August and A SEAL Wolf Christmas—which is Bjornolf
and Anna’s story—if you recall, they had a bit of sparring in A SEAL in Wolf’s Clothing and he came
out on top—well she is ready to win the sparring contest this time! That comes
out for an early Christmas treat in October. I’m all for having a Christmas
present early. Aren’t you?
10. Do you have
anything specific you want to tell your readers?
TS: I advocate hugging hunks. Don’t be shy if they’re a
little on the wolfish side, swing a sword if they’re a combination Highland
warrior and wolf, or a lot big cat. They’ve all got a tender side just for you.
So what are you waiting for? They all need lots of loving. J
And oh, yes, if anyone’s got some oil, they could use a little to make those
incredible muscles shine.
Fun Speed Questions:
11. Coffee or Hot Tea
TS: Hot green tea.
12. Summer or Winter
TS: Winter, because we have months and months of summer.
13. Sunrise or Sunset
TS: Sunrise so that I can get started on my fun-filled
writing day!
14. Mountains or
Beach
TS: I love both—love the water, but missed the mountains
when I moved to Florida where it is flat, flat, flat.
15. Rock N' Roll or
Country Music (or another genre of music you may like)
TS: New Age/Celtic/adventure movie themes
Thanks so much to Book Lovin’ Mamas for having me here
today! If you’ve been reading the
stories, who is your favorite character of all of them??? If you’re new to the
either series, what would you prefer? A hot SEAL wolf? A hunky Highland wolf? A
Golden Claws Special Forces jaguar agent? One of the Silver brothers? A PI
turned Arctic wolf? A beta wolf turned pack leader? Am I missing anyone???
