Today we have the lovely and talented Chrys Fey on the blog.
She has a new story out, 30 Seconds, just in time to curl up on the couch with your ereader and a cozy fire.
So Chrys,
How much
influence do you have on cover art?
I actually
had a lot of say in the cover for 30
Seconds because the artist got the cover wrong at first. In the beginning I
filled out a form to describe the tone, important elements, and how I
envisioned the cover, but the artist did her own thing, which was all wrong for
30 Seconds. Only the title was what I
wanted, so the marketing director let me choose the images to pass onto the
artist. I picked both of the images that are now on the cover.
Which phrase
in 30 Seconds are you most proud of?
“She could
forgive him for missing their dinner date, but she would never forgive him for
dying.”
What did you
edit out of 30 Seconds?
I edited out
a scene near the end. I can’t really reveal much about it because it contains
spoilers, but it’s when my heroine, Dr. Dani Hart, is in the hospital fighting
to save someone’s life. My editor and I decided to remove it because we
realized she wouldn’t be allowed in the operating room as she was emotionally
compromised. Luckily, taking the scene out worked perfectly.
Describe
your writing style in ten words or less.
Thrilling,
romantic, magical, with heroines of steel and sexy heroes.
Would you
like to be friends with the main character?
Absolutely!
Dani is a fun woman. She’s witty, smart, and loves rock music just like I do.
Follow up
question - What is something you can picture the two of you doing together?
We’d go to a Thirty Second to Mars concert and rock out to their music. Then
we’d stop at McDonalds for a quick bite and maybe enjoy a glass of wine at home
while we talk about how awesome the concert was.
Now for a little fun.
If you were
going to commit the perfect murder, how would you go about it?
I don’t
think I can reveal that. If I do, it may come back to bite me in the butt.
Do you ever
write naked?
I’ve never
even tried it. I’m not that free with my body, but now I’m wondering how many
writers do write in the nude.
Do you have
any hobbies?
I love to draw fashion designs, write song lyrics, make jewelry,
and read.
If you were
a tool what would you be?
A hammer. I
don’t like to “put people in their place,” but I will swing if you get me mad.
All of my heroines carry the same attitude. Actually, they are all feistier
than I am. Sometimes I wish I could be more like them...sledgehammers.
Who's more
fun, bad boys or perfect gentlemen?
Bad boys!
They are fascinating, sexy, and can show you a good time. All of my heroes have
a little bit of bad in them, but they are still gentlemen when the time calls
for it, like Blake in 30 Seconds.
thanks so much for stopping by.
