Welcome to Fallen Angel Reviews Liz. It is great to have you here.

Thanks for inviting me, Amanda.

I recently read A Precious Gift. It is a phenomenal and very moving story! For fans that have not had an opportunity to read it, can you tell us a little about Lily, Connor, Hayes, and Anya?

I think that the two couples, Lily and Hayes and Connor and Anya could have lived happily ever after together if Lily and Connor had never met. If Connor hadn’t broken his leg, and if his mother hadn’t invited him to recuperate at her condo with Lily visiting upstairs, the fate of all four young people might have been changed. It must have been destiny.

This is not your average romance. The growth and depth of the characters was a treat. Their lives actually moved me to tears. How do you create such believable characters?

Oh, but they’re not characters, they’re people who live in my imagination and tell me their stories, both the good and the bad and the ‘why’ of what they do.

In addition to A Precious Gift, you also have Plain Jane’s Tight End available for readers. Can you give us a hint about this story?

Plain Jane’s Tight End is a fun book, and practically wrote itself. Here’s a mini-blurb: Bobby Goodison has a problem--besides what to do with his life after retiring as a Green Bay Packer Tight End. He's engaged to bestselling author FantaCee, but his true love is her best friend, plain Jane Sebastian. And someone wants them dead. What dark secrets do the two women share?

Plain Jane’s Tight End has been a number one best seller at Hard Shell Word Factory. How does it feel to know that your work is so well received?

It’s wonderful to know that a project that gave me such pleasure to write appealed to readers as well. One of my fans likened my writing style in this book to Susan Elizabeth Phillips. It was humbling since I love reading anything by SEP.

Once you start developing a story, do you write until that work is complete, or do you create multiple stories at once?

I’ve always created one project at a time in the past. Recently, however, I’ve started jotting down character profiles and bits and pieces for several stories, rather than lose the details as they come to me. I’ll still concentrate on writing one story at a time though.

What has been the most rewarding aspect of writing to date?

Comments from readers are always rewarding. One on my coworkers slammed my book down on my desk one morning and said, “You kept me up all night!” That’s the ultimate compliment to any writer.

Since I happen to know you are a fan of fortune cookies and have thought of this before: What would you wish if could get what you want?

You’ve been to my website. (grin) I wish that my readers enjoy my books and that I can provide each and every one with a shiver down the spine, or perhaps an occasional tear, and definitely a chuckle or two. And please let me know if I succeed.

You are a member of the Jewels of the Quill. What is it like to get to work with such a talented group of women?

I truly believe that anytime there’s a group of similar-minded people, they create energy and it spreads and sparks more energy. Working with the Jewels has been a fantastic opportunity. I’m writing better and more productively than ever.

Can we expect Dame Garnet to make an appearance in an upcoming Jewels of the Quill anthology?

As a matter of fact, my piece, Garnet’s Light, is included in the first Jewels of the Quill Anthology, Tales from the Treasure Trove, Volume I, which by the way, received a 5-angel review from Fallen Angel Reviews. Garnet’s Light is the first in my Troubled Water Series for the Jewels anthologies. Garnet’s Lake will appear in Tales from the Treasure Trove, Volume II.

What are you currently working on?

My anthology segment, Blame it on the Mistletoe, is in the editing process and will appear in Champagne Books Christmas Anthology, Mistletoe Magic, due out in October, I believe. I’ve just begun another anthology piece, Dang Crooked Arrow, for Champagne Books Valentine Anthology.

As we head into Fall, what would you say is the most romantic element of the season? How would you create a romantic moment when the leaves are starting to change color and there is a chill in the air?

The senses—tastes and smells especially-- are the most romantic element to me. Imagine a couple in warm wool and soft cashmere, maybe one wears a corduroy jacket; add the smell of horseflesh and leather, a crisp apple, and renewed energy. Whether the characters are on the horses or not, whether they’re friends or foes, they share the same senses, cool air and warm bodies, possibly burning leaves and fresh cut logs somewhere close by. Romance is soon to follow.

Is there anything else you would care to share with us?

Watch for Footloose (formerly Mating Season) in October from Champagne Books, a contemporary nautical romance that will kick off my Love on the High Seas series.

As always Liz, it is a pleasure to speak with you. Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to seeing what you have coming next for fans. Readers, if you have not had a chance to read something by Ms. Hunter, stop by her website, http://www.lizhunter.com/, and see what you have been missing.

Thanks so much for your wonderful review and the opportunity to reach new romance readers!
