Interview with Leah Michaels...
Quick
round:
Coffee, tea or…what’s your vice? Lattes. I like tea
in the winter and I probably drink 5 cups of coffee a week.
Favorite Movie: Princess Bride
Favorite Color: Teal
Favorite book/author: Of all time: Jane Eyre by
Charlotte Bronte. Of the moment: Real by Katy Evans
How do you feel about bacon? I have a healthy love
of it. My husband thinks it’s his life blood.
And now for the REAL questions...
Tell us a little about yourself.
I’ve been writing
for nearly a decade but I’m only recently published. I spent seven years
working on an epic fantasy fiction novel only to realize I’m not an epic
fantasy fiction novel writer. I took a few years off to try and regroup after
and started writing again at the beginning of this year.
I’m also happily married and the mother of two
toddlers.
What’s under your bed?
Nothing, my box-springs sit
directly on the floor. I know I know, it’s a very “college” look but I haven’t
been able to find a bedroom suite that my husband and I can agree on. We have…
well… dramatically different design tastes.
What comes first, plot or characters? Characters, if
you know your people they’ll tell you their story.
Pantser, plotter, or hybrid? Tell us about your
writing process.
Plotter, I usually have a detailed outline of at LEAST 75% of
the story before I ever write my first scene. I don’t always follow it because
sometimes you characters can surprise you.

| Here's Darshu! |
Me. Actually it’s
probably my Darshu (from the menga Bastard, yes I’m a BIG nerd) action figure.
I’ve had him for over 10 years.
What’s your most interesting writing quirk?
I talk
to Darshu when I’m working through a scene. He’s best at rhetorical questions.
What’s your favorite thing about the genre you write
in?
In all honesty I think it’s the men, as in the male characters. I think we
are able to get away with a much more “alpha” male in our male characters then
would generally be accepted in mainstream genres
What is the hardest thing about being an author?
Finding
the time to both writer and promote. I’m horrible at that balance.
What’s the easiest thing about being an author?
There’s
an easy part? I’m not sure if I’d classify it all a difficult but I think you
have to work at all of it.
Tell us about your latest release!

Blurb For Fit to Be Tied...
What’s a man to do when his fantasy walks into the
room in a mask, ornate corset, and miniskirt made of feathers? Grab his
favorite length of blue silk rope and tie her to his bed.
Mikhail’s life was sitting at a standstill. His
undercover case had finally broken and he was free of the character he’d been
playing for five years. But when you walk in the gutter there’s no way to stay
clean. Haunted by the things he’d done Mikhail had given up the dream of a wife
and family. The kind of woman he wanted to be the mother of his children wasn’t
attracted to a man covered in tattoos who was rumored to beat his girlfriend.
But when Abigail walks into his arms, all pearls, ribbons, and jeweled
manicured toes he’ll stop at nothing to keep her.
Abigail didn’t understand her attraction to Mikhail.
She’d talked to the man once. Well talked wasn’t right, she’d berated the man
once. But she couldn’t get him out of her mind. Love at first site only
happened in the movies. It couldn’t be real. He’s decided she belongs to him,
but can she trust this feeling won’t fade. She thought it was overwhelming when
he staked his claim on her body. She’s in for a ride when he starts working on
her heart.
Fit to be Tied won't be available until Oct. 23, but The Accidental Submissive is available now!
Blurb for The Accidental Submissive...
When Steven Edwards looks up and sees an angel kneeling on his auction block, he knows something’s wrong. Because the angel on her knees isn’t the pain kitten the auctioneer is selling. When he rescues her from a sadist, he can’t help but want to keep her for himself.
When she finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation, and possibly hunted by the Russian mob, he takes her under his protection. Keeping her close to keep her safe, he doesn’t even mind as she stumbles into his heart.

Blurb for The Accidental Submissive...
What’s a girl to do when fate hands her a look into her darkest fantasies? Grab on with both hands, both cuffed hands. Karen McGuven’s dangerously curious nature has gotten her into trouble before, but this time she’s hit the mother lode. Kneeling on the auction block she hears the gavel hit and SOLD just as the blood drains from her head. What has she gotten herself into now?
