As soon as Hailey Parrish discovered her husband was cheating with her co-worker, she swore off men. She had to find another job when her boss went to prison for being a pimp in his spare time. Three years later, Hailey still hadn’t gone on a date and she milks chinchilla for a living. Her life is about to get weirder. 

While in pursuit of inter-dimensional miscreants who use their arcane powers to prey upon humans, Sebastian Kess was ambushed and mortally wounded. To save his life, he used his own magic to convert his soul to binary code and transfer it into Hailey’s soon-to-be shipped Kindle eBook reader. When Hailey inadvertently releases him and he inhabits her body, she finally has a man inside her, just not in the way she imagined.

Hailey must come to grips with the existence of the parallel dimension of Coursodon and the realization that magically inclined non-humans walk the world while dealing with Sebastian’s arrogant banter in her head.  Her predicament also introduces her to another supernatural, the handsome could-be-the-man-of-her-dreams Alex Sunderland.  The action moves from Hailey’s hometown of Tucson, Arizona to New England and across Europe as she and Alex try to return Sebastian to his own body while staying one step ahead of the criminals who want to keep him where he is. 
Special Offers, the first book of the Coursodon Dimension Series, combines paranormal romance, urban fantasy, a bit of science fiction and a healthy dose of quirky humor.
Q) What inspired you to write this story?
I had just purchased my full-priced Kindle when I realized Amazon was selling less expensive versions that came with “special offers” (ads instead of the pretty drawings). For some reason, my warped brain thought it would be amusing if what made the cheaper Kindles special was that they came with some fiendish spirit. Originally, I imagined something like a havoc-wrecking poltergeist, but that quickly changed into the annoying, yet ingratiating, Sebastian.

Q) How long did it take you to write?
It took about six months of writing, mainly in the evenings and on weekends. Those pesky day jobs really get in the way sometimes.

Q) What is your favorite thing about writing?
Letting the story out of my head is very satisfying. As the characters’ personalities unfold, it is like developing a relationship with them.

Q) What is your least favorite thing about writing?
The hardest part is working through a block. It’s tough to write when you’re stuck, and I find that trying to power through doesn’t usually work well for me. I’m better off doing something else and coming back to it later. It’s also difficult to write on a restricted schedule. Sometimes I have great ideas, but I have to go to work instead of having a chance to write. I leave notes to myself constantly with snippets of dialogue or plot lines so I won’t forget. For some reason, I get lots of ideas while driving.

Q) If you could be any famous person for one day, who would you be and why?
Wonder Woman. I really love the boots. And the lasso of truth isn’t too shabby either.

Q) What is the oldest thing in your fridge and how old is it?
I think there is a bottle of green olives from the Pleistocene. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating. But they’ve been in there at least five years.

Q) What can readers expect from you in the future?
The second book in the series — Special Rewards — was recently published and I am currently hard at work on the third.

Amie Wentworth writes paranormal romances, not because she is looking for a degree in ectoplasm, but because she’s got bills to pay. Ever since her parents’ car crash, she has been led a reclusive life and trusted books more than people. Not even a letter from her long-lost uncle, begging her to visit, gives Amie incentive for anything other than ire – until she is stabbed in an alley and brought back to life by a mysterious stranger. 

After crossing the Atlantic to her father’s homeland, Amie is dragged into the very sort of tale she is used to selling. Silver Hollow is a place of ancient traditions and supernatural dangers, where everything is the opposite of what it seems and few escape sane. 

To make matters worse, the man who saved her life keeps turning up and her would-be-murderer is still at large.
But when she comes face to face with the ugly truth, will she too be sucked into her father’s madness? Or will she discover that madness is just another name for honesty?

Q) What inspired you to write this story?
My best friends, who the twins in Silver Hollow are based on, and I had written several stories together through high school. By the time we were in our college years, we were split by cities and life, but when we came together we still made time for “the story” as they called it. One of these weekends, I decided to surprise them with a fun imagining for our future selves. After reading it aloud to them, they requested more of the story. Silver Hollow was born from that.

Q) How long did it take you to write?
The original story was written maybe two years before I published it. During these last two years I would work on it piece by piece and read parts to the twins and their boyfriends (“James” and “Ben”). But I started seriously working on it 2012. I finished the first draft last summer and began work on draft two with my beta, Allison. So altogether, it took me two years and a few months.

Q) What is your favorite thing about writing?
It’s like this compulsion to create, sometimes. I’m going through my day often times, when inspiration hits. And I can’t relax until I get it written down. That’s probably my favorite part of the whole process, the push to tell a story and the feeling I get after. It’s a completion.

Q) What is your least favorite thing about writing?
Drafting, lol. I used to be the type who would write a story and constantly go back to the beginning and revamp scenes I wasn’t satisfied. This left me with a dozen books I had begun and world built like crazy but never finished. So the hardest thing for me is writing a book straight through without looking back. Then going back to the beginning and revising it is so tedious.

Q) If you could be any famous person for one day, who would you be and why?
I’m sure I’m not the first person to say this, but J.K Rowling. I mean, seriously, can you imagine being her???

Q) What is the oldest thing in your fridge and how old is it?
Ehm…probably the condiments that for some reason I keep in the fridge and always forget to use later. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Q) What can readers expect from you in the future?
Many more adventures to be had! Coming soon is the sequel to my novella, Qeya. After this is my high fantasy, Beauty and the Beast retelling. And yes, for those of you who are wondering, there is a sequel to Silver Hollow planned. But it will have to wait for next year. I’ve got so many projects rolling around my head and as I mentioned above, left unfinished. Hopefully y’all will still be hanging with me by the time we get to Faye’s mission to find out what happened to Jo.
