It is my pleasure to introduce to you today T.F. Walsh, author of the hot, new paranormal romance CLOAKED IN FUR!
M J, thank you for having me on your blog today.
Oh, my pleasure, Tania! So, what is the best thing you’ve learned about writing and/or the publishing business?
How important it is to build a strong band of friends who share your passion for writing. I’m talking about writing and critique friends who stick by you and prep you up when needed. Many of my friends who don’t write find it so difficult to understand the pressures of writing and publishing, so it’s always great to have people who are in the same situation to have on your side.
I agree 100% How do you balance the demands of your everyday life and your writing life?
To be honest, I haven’t quite mastered that one yet. I tend to squeeze my everyday life into my writing one, but at the moment that could have to something to do with the book launch.
I hear that, too. I hate it when real life interferes with my writing! Do you have a job outside of writing? What is it and how does it mesh with your writing?
Sure do. I work in marketing and social media during the day. So even when I’m not writing, I’m online. When I go on holidays, I try really hard to leave the Internet behind.
Well that has to be handy! Now, for a few fun questions. What was one of the best Christmas presents you ever received?
It would have to be a BMX bike. When I was young, I was a bit of tomboy and I desperately wanted a BMX. That was a Christmas to remember.
Cool. What CD is in your CD player right now?
Pink’s album, I’m Not Dead.
Love Pink! Name your favorite children's story.
Little Mermaid. I’ve always loved this tale, and who secretly doesn’t want to be a princess mermaid. Come on, fess up.
Not sure what you're talking about. Ahem. What was your nickname growing up or now?
Taniuska. We’ll leave it at that.
Okay. It's better than Termite, which was one of my nicknames. Who was your hero when you were a child, and what did you do to be like them?
During high school, I was obsessed with Madonna. Now I remember back then I was dating this guy who had some issues with me wanting to go to University, and things were not going to work out, but I didn’t know how to break it off. One day, Madonna’s song, Express Yourself played on TV, and I recall how determined it made me to stand up for myself and to finally break it off, which I did that very afternoon. Poor guy, he kind of didn’t see it coming. Best decision ever!
What is your concept of a fruitful day?
Writing over 2000 words and then editing a whole chapter.
What one thing (modern convenience) could you not live without?
Internet
No. Since it's part of your job you couldn't do without if for sure. What are your three favorite smells?
The three Cs. Cinnamon. Coffee. Chocolate.
Good answers! Now, let's find out a little bit more about T.F.'s new release, CLOAKED IN FUR!
love with a human. Hell, she never imagined that she’d abandon her pack, endanger everyone around her, and break the worst rule possible. But she did.
A rogue werewolf is killing Daciana’s friends, and she sets on capturing the creature. She’ll do whatever it takes to stop the beast. The police and her boyfriend, Inspector Connell Lonescu, are starting to question her involvement in the murders, which is endangering the pack’s secret existence. But when the pack alpha kidnaps Connell, revealing the awful truth about the creature and its connection to the pack, Daciana must choose between saving the man she loves and saving her pack family from certain death.

So great to be on your blog again... loved your questions... so much fun:) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you, T.F., for joining us here today!
DeleteWhat a great interview! Great favorite smells. Many of my favorite things start with C! :)
ReplyDeleteReally, C-hristine? Thanks for popping in! Those are great smells, for sure! I don't even drink coffee, but I love the smell of it!
DeleteYou'll have to tell me some of your favorite things that start with C, Christine:)
DeleteLoved your Madonna story. We can all be strong and feisty princess mermaids, right?! And what a gorgeous cover! Good luck with the book. :-)
ReplyDeleteHey, Serena Clarke! Thanks for visiting us from the other side of the globe! (If you haven't read this New Zealand author's debut novel, ALL OVER THE PLACE, check it out on Amazon!) I loved the Madonna story, too, and found myself wondering if T.F. dressed like her when she was younger?
DeleteThanks Serena:) Best of luck with All Over The Place:)
DeleteGreat interview. I too liked The Little Mermaid and Madonna. And you won't believe but I'm working on a werewolf story too. Mine is more like a Christmas novella about a male wolf falling for a human girl. She owns a landscaping business but does the Christmas decorating through the season and he's on a hiatus of a sort allowed to exist in his human form but has to work to support himself, living among humans is expensive thing. All the best with your new release and I'll be reading your book.
ReplyDeleteLove your taste Firetulip...:) Your Christmas novella sounds like my type of book. Best of luck with it.
DeleteThanks for coming by, Firetulip! Sounds like an interesting premise for your novella! It's fun making up stories, isn't it?
