Interview with author Destiny Blaine

Interview:

Hi, Destiny!!

Welcome to Rex Robot Reviews- excited to have you here today! I would like to thank you for taking the time to join us for the interview. 

1. Destiny, which character do you enjoy writing the most and why? 
Right now, I have a weakness for the tortured alpha male.

2. For readers that have not yet read any of your books, which would you suggest they read first? 

That’s a great question. I’d probably suggest a short story or novella that isn’t in a series. Something recent like Domination Plantation or Inevitable Surrender.

3. What did you enjoy most about writing Damaged Goods (Sport Wives #4)? 

I enjoyed writing about Suzy Illiani. Suzy has some serious flaws but what I love about her story is that while she wants to change for Marco, she doesn’t make life-changing decisions based on her desire to please him. It’s more or less just something that happens because Marco points out the errors of her ways and she’s the kind of heroine who doesn’t mind to face the truth and plan for change.  Best of all, after she takes charge of her life, she really likes the end results. 

4. Could you tell us a little bit about what your writing process is like? 

The writing process really varies from day to day and depends on the manuscript. Some stories call for a lot of research while others require none. Some take a lot of effort while others are just a blast to write.

5. What do you do when you aren't writing? 

Right now, I do what my bosses tell me to do. I have two teenagers and they keep me hopping and their friends are almost as demanding.  There’s never a dull moment here!

6. So, what comes after Damaged Goods? Excited about any other releases or works  in progress? 

I’m working on the Winning Virgin series for Siren submissions.  Within a few months, I should have everything completed that was either promised or sold on proposal to all of my publishers so I’m at a good place right now. I’m anxious to begin new projects. Shadowfire Press will release The Vampire’s Fated Kill of Mr. Gadget Man which is a steampunk paranormal so that’s exciting since steampunk is somewhat of a new venture for many writers.

7. If one of your books could be a movie, which one would you choose? 

Lying Eyes. Who would be your dream cast? Brad Pitt would make a perfect Max Reynolds and Cameron Diaz is suited for the role of Audra.

8. What do you think about the Kindle and other e-readers and the effect they have on  the book community? 

The industry is ever-changing.  We’re going to see more e-readers in the future. We’re going to see more digital and e-publishers. As authors, we’ll have choices we didn’t have five years ago. As readers, we’ll have options we didn’t know about five months ago. It’s a wonderful time to be involved in this industry and it’s an author’s market as much as a reader's market.

Thank you for taking time to interview me today. I've enjoyed spending time with you!
