~ Quirky Question of the Month ~

If ghosts can walk through walls and glide down stairs, why don't they fall through the floor?
Ghost don't have feet so they can't fall through the floor. The real question is how do they keep the sheets over their heads like that. ~ Michelle M. Pillow

Not a clue. But if anyone knows, please also tell me where they keep their clothes and why girl ghosts always have a ton of cleavage. ~ Sahara Kelly

They don't want to. It's all about their will. You know..they want to walk through a wall, so they can. If they wanted to slip through the floor to the level below I bet they could. ~ Sasha White

Reverse psychology. They don't think about falling through the floor, therefore they don't. ~ Mechele Armstrong

They do. Just not in public. ~ Lucinda Betts

They suffer from Insubstantial Dysfunction Disorder. ~ Jackie Kessler

Actually, ghosts have to concentrate very hard in order to descend through floors. Their natural buoyancy tends to keep them in the upper levels of the atmosphere. That's also why they're floating around above ground after their bodies have been buried...they're too buoyant to stay in the earth. ~ Debbie Mumford

Evil Without a Face, the first book in your new Sweet Justice Series, is debuting this month. Can you tell us a little about it?

Sure and thanks for featuring my work. You guys ROCK!

Imagine the horror of going to your teenager's bedroom one morning only to find her missing. Her bed hadn't been slept in and her clothes are gone. In 2000, that's what one mother in Florida faced. Her only child had conspired against her and ran away. And worse, she later discovered that her daughter had left the country-without having a passport. From the moment I read this news story, I was hooked and had to know more about how such an atrocity could happen.

The savvy online predator not only manipulated the teenager in Florida, but he also convinced law-abiding adults to cooperate with his schemes to get her out of the country. The naïve young girl was taken out of the country before her mother knew she was gone. And the race to save her was on-a mother's worst fear. I had to write that story and started it in Alaska where I'd lived for ten years and continued the chase into Chicago and parts of Russia.

In Evil Without a Face, an illusive web of imposters on the Internet lures a deluded teen from her Alaskan home and launches a chain reaction collision course with an unlikely tangle of heroes. A new kind of criminal organization becomes the faceless enemy behind an insidious global conspiracy. And the life of one young girl and countless others hang in the balance. This is the initial driver to my new series. And I absolutely LOVE being in the world of these characters. This Sweet Justice series has been a blast to write.

What was your inspiration for this new series?

Real crime usually influences me. And unfortunately for the whole of humanity, there's always plenty of 'inspiration'. I read newspapers, watch TV and search the Internet for stories that strike me and keep notes in a file for later-anything from genetic anomalies and man-eating plants to the whimsical world of serial killers. Many times I weave more than one crime story together into a plot. As an author, I love a challenge.

And lately, I've been fascinated by international and cyberspace crimes that cross over jurisdictions and international borders, making them harder to prosecute. Cyberspace is the new hunting ground for criminals and crimes with a global impact are intriguing to me. In my novels I don't have the limitation of jurisdictions and I can pursue criminals to dole out Sweet Justice, my way. Plus it gives me a certain amount of satisfaction to know I'm shedding light on these crimes.

With an international setting, my new Sweet Justice thriller series will focus on the lives and loves of three strong women-a bounty hunter operating outside the law, an ambitious vice cop, and a former international operative with a mysterious past. These women give Lady Justice a whole new reason to wear blinders. And their brand of justice is anything but sweet.

The Wrong Side of Dead, book #2 in the Sweet Justice thriller series will be out November 2009. And I am currently writing book #3, tentatively titled The Echo of Violence.

If you could become any of your characters for a day, who would it be and why?

This is not easy to answer because I'd love to carry a .45-caliber Colt Python with a trigger as smooth as butter and be as tough and resilient as my woman bounty hunter, Jessie Beckett. I'd like to be as smart and quirky as Seth Harper, a computer genius who loves Jerry Springer and has great taste in tunes. I'd like the Nordic good looks and sophistication of Alexa Marlowe, my international operative with a mysterious past. And I'd love to work with cops all day like Sam Cooper-especially her hot love interest, Chicago homicide detective Ray Garza. But as long as we're granting wishes, if I got my way in combining these characters, I'd want more than a day. Sweet!

If you were a color, what color would it be and why?

I'd like to be the color - beige. That way, no one would know what to call me. Neutral, nude, tan, taupe-what the hell is she? I'd be the Switzerland of color and I'd go with everything. And you wouldn't have to wait until after Labor Day to wear me.

Favorite word? Why?

Seriously, my all-time favorite word can't be mentioned here. In lieu of that, I'd pick the word - ZIP. You can say it without hardly moving your lips and it makes your tongue tingle if you put the right emphasis behind it. Try it. Say it with me, "ZIP!"

Your new novel, I Heart That City: Body Shots, has just been released at Loose Id, can you tell us a little about it?

I Heart That City is a multi-author series centered around a bar of the same name. Body Shots is about Joe and Daphne, who have taken a break from threesomes, as they meet a tempting photographer, Amos, at I Heart That City. Amos wants to take shots of them and off them. Just as they are beginning a relationship, the past intervenes and threatens everything.

I had a lot of fun working with the other authors. A few characters in Body Shots show up in other books.

Why do you think that erotic fiction is so popular?

I think erotic fiction is popular because a good erotic romance novel will blow the doors from the bedroom and lay the couple bear in every way so you get to know them completely. A good erotic romance novel will let you see the characters' sum total and pull you in with them, which is what most readers want from a book. I also think sex is a human need, which means we all identify on some level with love scenes.

Do you have an all-time favorite character (it doesn't have to be one of yours!)? and why?

My all time favorite character is Sarah from Blood Lines: Blood Kiss. I worked on Blood Kiss a long time before it was published so I've known Sarah a long time. I love how she grows over the course of the story of Blood Kiss and becomes a much stronger woman at the end than she is at the beginning. Sarah also has an inner naivety that keeps her fresh and that I adore. Not to mention, she ends up with Nick, who I think is a great hero.

If you could be crayon color, yes only one, what color would you be and why?

I would be green. I think green is the color of rebirth and renewal. I like to think of myself in a constant state of flux so I think it suits me. Plus, it's my favorite color.

Can you tell us a bit about any upcoming books?

I just finished the writing on Settler's Mine: The Man (tentative title). It's not contracted yet but I hope to submit it soon. It's a menage, which focuses on what happens when a mate has left. I really enjoyed getting to know these characters.
