Today I’d like to welcome
Taige Crenshaw to Fallen Angel Reviews. Thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions for us today!
It’s wonderful to be here Tammy. Thanks to you and Fallen Angel for having me.
To start, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I’m actually a little shy {with a smile} but no one seems to believe me. LOL. My novels are my way of talking to the world. I’ve been making up my own stories, poetry and fairytales since I was a child. I used to gather my family in the living room and tell my stories. They would clap and say they were wonderful. LOL.
Now I bring my stories to the world audience. I write in a variety of genres. My stories are intricate and I like to put my spin on things. LOL. Meaning I don’t do the typical so expect a twist to come and when it does I hope it makes the reader go hmm... or wow. I like to surprise and give readers something to think about.
Also I have to write it’s just something I must do. I get cranky if I don’t. Also I have an opinionated muse named Mikayla who well… It’s not pretty I shudder to even think about it.
What are some of your hobbies besides writing?
I love to draw. I’m an avid seamstress. I can whip up an outfit quick if I have to go someplace special and have nothing to wear. I love to cook. I’m a voracious reader. My library in my house and on my computer is massive. That’s one of the first things you notice when you come to my house.
Can you tell us about your current release
Rarities Inc: All I Want?
We’ll Rarities Inc: All I Want is no longer available since I left the publisher I was with. It will be released by Ellora’s Cave under a new title called Veils Rising. And believe me you don’t want to miss it. It is improved and much better.
What is the best advice that anyone ever gave you?
It was from my Mom who passed away 2 years ago. She always told me whatever is for you, is for you. Basically she meant that no matter what others may try to do or doubts you have in yourself when something good comes to you no one or even your own doubts will block it. It is destined for you and nothing will stand in its way.
What is your favorite type of genre to write?
Actually my favorite is everything genre I write in. No matter if it’s a hot contemporary, sizzling paranormal, nail biting mystery, etc.. I like them all. The characters and plot is what drives me not the genre.
Is there any genre you haven’t yet tried and would like to?
Historical that is the one I haven’t done yet.
Immortal Blossom: Bonded is going to be available soon, can you tell
us more about it?
The first Immortal Blossom book is no longer available since I left the publisher I was with. Ellora’s Cave will release it under a new title called Carnal Awakening. The book has been expanded and changed. You don’t want to miss this book when it is released as well as the other books in the series. As for Bonded the name will also be changed and I am hoping it will be available sometime later this year. Keep checking my site for information on all the titles in the Immortal Blossom series.
Do you have more stories planned for the
Immortal Blossom series?
Yes there will be more in the Immortal Blossom series besides the two I mentioned above. I have it as three stories in total.
What is your favorite part of a book to write?
The plotting of the story and building the characters. I love coming up with the plot and pushing it as far as it goes. The characters enrich what I came up with then they put their own spin on it and make it more.
We all have one, so tell us yours. What is your favorite comfort food?
I’d have to say Jello. LOL. My friends know that give me some Jello with a little whip cream on top and I am a happy woman. LOL.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I'm excited about having this opportunity to spend time with you and Fallen Angel Reviews. The support I have been given by your site has been wonderful.
I wanted to let readers know that I have also contracted a few new books with Ellora’s Cave. In the upcoming days my website will be updated with details on my previous series as well as my other new series coming with Ellora’s Cave. I have also contracted with Liquid Silver Books for another whole new series. In the upcoming days my website will be updated for details on this series also. Be sure and add my upcoming books to your e-book shopping list.
