Please welcome my guest, Lisa Rayns. Lisa is an author of wonderful paranormal romance novels and I'm thrilled she's consented to an interview. So without further ado, let's get this interview started.
Hi Lisa, tell us something about yourself both writing and not
writing related.
The strangest thing about me is
that I come from a family of non-readers. They might read magazine articles or
the paper but they don’t read novels so they have a hard time understanding why
I spend so much time doing what I do. I’m the black sheep, I guess.
Do you have a writing routine? Where do you usually do your writing?
I don’t really have a routine. I
write whenever I can and when I’m not writing I’m usually thinking about it
until a scene strikes me. Then I’m writing again.
I work in a bright pink room with things
around me that inspire me. On the wall, there’s a picture of an artist painting
an enchanting scene which always reminds me to “paint it beautiful.”
I love that - "Paint it beautiful." Why do you write in the genre/sub-genre that you do? Any plans in the future to write in a
different one?
I write in the paranormal genre because I
found it was more fun than the regular romantic suspense. I do write in other
genres. I have an urban fantasy novella out and a psychological suspense in the
WIP stage.
I'll have to look up your urban fantasy novella. It's a genre that's new to me but that I'm enjoying it immensely. How
do you stay motivated when writer’s block hits or your muse won’t cooperate?
I don’t. I find it helpful to take time away from
writing when my muses don’t want to play. If I’m not into the story, readers
won’t be either.
I agree. I feel if I'm bored by what I'm writing then the reader certainly will be. What’s
the strangest thing you’ve ever done in the name of research?
That’s an awesome question and one that requires thought.
Hmm, I think it was Googling how blood changes when someone dies. That would
also qualify as the most morbid.
What’s
the best writing advice you were ever given?
Read.
That's advice I won't have any problem following. :o) What
do you like to do in your leisure time?
In my leisure time, I like to hang out with my family.
Watching my boys grow is an exciting experience in itself. I learn a lot from
my kids.
Tell us about your current
release in a couple of sentences.
Wanted:
Vampire - Free Blood is a dark paranormal romance with many surprises. Alexis Hall
wakes up married to a handsome man with a major secret but a simple
misunderstanding sends her running into the arms of a vampire.
Sounds fascinating. I'll be adding it to my TBR list. Can you tell us a little about
your next project?
I’m planning
four books in my Wanted: Vampire series and right now I’m working on the second
book which is centered around Tara, Alexis’ best friend. She’s a witch with
more problems than she cares to admit. The third book returns to Alexis and the
fourth…well, I’m going to leave that a surprise for now.
Anything else you’d like to
share?
Sure, I’d like
to invite you all to stop by website or blog or friend me on facebook. I’d love
to meet all of you!

Check out the blurb below for Wanted: Vampire - Free Blood. It's great!
Blurb:
Three years
ago, death blew out the candle in Alexis Hall’s life and left her devastated.
Nothing could replace what she’d lost, not even the sexy stranger she awoke
married to. Still, she finds it hard to ignore the dangerous sparks he triggers
within her. She knows Bradley Cox took advantage of her. What she doesn’tknow
is he holds a secret that will change everything.
But Bradley isn’t her only concern. In a moment of desperation to
somehow reclaim what she had lost, Alexis made an offer to a vampire––free
blood. Her blood.
In a story of heartbreak and obsession, a simple ad changed Alexis'
life forever and on one fateful night her dreams and her nightmares will
collide. Can she trust Bradley? Or is he her worst mistake? Can she retract her
offer to the vampire? Or will she fall under his deceptive spell?
