An Interview with Linda Joyce!
It's my pleasure to welcome fellow Wild Rose Press author, Linda
Joyce to my blog with an interview and information about her Fleur de Lis
series. Book #3 - Bayou Beckons has recently been published.
I was intrigued by Linda’s dossier on Amazon, which I’ll share at
the end of this post. Linda's led an interesting life which makes for great stories.
Grab a cup of coffee (or beverage of choice) and read what this amazing writer has to say!
Q: Linda, I’m going to start with the standard question, how long
have you been writing? I feel it gives insight into the passion that brought
you to become a published author.
A: First, Jan, thank you so much for inviting me. I’m happy to
share this time with you. In Louisiana, people drink coffee with chicory. My
dad hates to drink anything else. Me? I’m off caffeine, so I drink decaf Rishi
teas.
But about writing…I officially declared myself a writer on January
1st, 2009. I had been tossing around the idea. Dabbling. When I made
my resolutions for 2009 writing topped the list. I threw myself into it. My
first writing mentor said she’d never seen anyone so hungry to learn.
Even though I declared myself a writer, it took a couple of years
before I truly believed it. Felt it. I think the feeling settled in when I
received my first contract for a short memoir in an anthology.
Q: What have you found to be the most challenging thing about
writing a series?
A: Remembering everything
that’s happened in the first three books!
Time has passed, real calendar time, since I wrote the first and
second books. Book three just released, so it’s still very fresh in my mind.
Now, I’m working on book four, Bayou Brides—it’s a three-parter with each
heroine in books one through three getting married at Fleur de Lis, just not at
the same time. I finished Branna’s wedding and I’m staring on her cousin
Biloxi’s special day. I’m having to consult my spreadsheet with details and
actually find facts in the previously released books.
For example, Ida is a secondary character in book one. She’s a
young girl, and she’s going to be the flower girl in Branna’s wedding I
couldn’t remember Ida’s mother’s name, which sent me on the hunt. As they say,
the Devil is in the details. I want to get them right.
I do hope readers will enjoy book four. There is drama unique to
each bride. A couple of years ago, I started reading a series and when book two
came out, the hero and heroine from book one were already married. I was disappointed.
I so wanted an invitation to that wedding. Which is the reason I’m approaching
book four in three parts. Everyone’s invited to all three weddings!
Q: Is there a particular method you found that helps you keep
everything straight as you transitioned from book #1 to #2 to #3?
A: Each book has characters that carry over, but each book can
also stand alone.
I do work to be as organized as possible. Each book has its own
folder (in Word) and a spreadsheet where I track information: character
descriptions. Their education. Places they’ve traveled, etc. Birthdays. Etc…I
add in conflict questions for plotting. I save links for research. And, the fun
part—I have a Pinterest Board for each book to keep me inspired. All of this to
keep me on the straight and narrow.
Q: In your bio you mention your Cajun roots. Can you expand on
that for our readers since your books are based in the bayou?
A: I don’t have a Cajun accent. I only speak a few
words of French. But I’m a bayou girl. It’s where I fished, shrimped, and crabbed.
I paddled a pirogue—it’s like a canoe. I learned to cook at my grandmother’s
knee—stuffed mirlitons, gumbo, étouffée. I learned about the tides on the
Rigolets, music, and partying! And on the bayou is where I received my first
real kiss.
My father is Irish on his father’s side and Cajun on his mother’s
side. My grandfather died when I was very young, so I only have one memory of
him. He was second generation Irish born in Louisiana and a riverboat captain.
In the opening scene of the movie, Do You
Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans, his riverboat chugs into the Port
of New Orleans. But when you live in Louisiana for a while, you can’t help but
embrace joie de vivre—the enjoyment
of life.
My grandmother, she passed away in 2008, was a Guidry from
Terrebonne Parrish—total Cajun country. While she was an only child, her father
was one of thirteen children.
Historically, Guidrys were one of the original sixty families
relocating from Arcadia—part of Canada—after the British burned them out. Arcadians—later
shortened to Cajun—were invited to come to Louisiana; back before Louisiana was
a U.S. Territory, before President Jefferson made the Louisiana Purchase. (Yes,
I LOVE the history of my home state.)
Q: Can you share a few words about the characters that have become
part of the Fleur de Lis series?
A: Branna and James are wary about love. They’re
the “responsible” people in their families, always trying to please everyone
else.
Biloxi and Nick—he’s my book boyfriend, hot Cajun man that he
is—are seeking to get beyond old grudges between their families who stand in
the way of their happiness. A Romeo-and-Juliet story with a happy ending.
Party girl Camilla and Jared, the Wyoming rancher with Cajun
roots—have a hurricane of chemistry…and conflict.
I believe love can change the world and when you love, you love
completely, which is what my characters do.
Q: With book #3 under your belt, will there be a book #4 in the
series? Or will you be working on something else in the near future?
A: I am indeed working on book 4 – Bayou Brides. The final book of the series will be Bayou Brothers.
And I’m going to be self-publishing The Sunflower series. Book
one, Her Heart’s Desire is set for an
August release.
As if that’s not enough—I’m working on a women’s fiction story set
in New Orleans titled Secrets. It’s
about three women, childhood best friends, reunited when a pivotal man in their
lives dies. Now they’re the widow, sister, and ex-wife of the deceased. Each
woman is at a cross roads in her life and needs the support their old
friendship offered, only each has a secret, which if revealed, and threatens to
tear the friendship apart forever.
Q: Do you have some words of wisdom to share for aspiring writers?
A: Something I learned very early in my writing days: Triumph comes through perseverance.
That is the motto author, Jodi Thomas, instilled in me when I attended the
Writer’s Academy. I am so proud to know her. I seek to exemplify the giving
nature she exudes.
Q: Last question, Linda. Would you share your favorite passage
from Bayou Beckons?
A: Only one? lol Remember, Camilla is a party girl, but trying to
change. Here’s one passage I believe shows some of her conflict.
Whenever her thoughts drifted to Jared, tingling delight washed over
her, head to toe, like silk buffing her body, which caused the imaginary devil
on her shoulder to dance an Irish jig and coo, “Sensually delicious!” while the
angel on the other shoulder tsked in
dark disapproval.
Thank you so much for being my guest, Linda! Your books sound
wonderful! Come back anytime.

In Vegas, In Love - Heather Thurmeier
My guest today is Heather Thurmeier with a magical post - IN VEGAS, IN LOVE! ♥♥
Welcome, Heather!
Welcome, Heather!
In Vegas, In Love
For our 7th anniversary, my husband and I went to
Las Vegas for a week and it was amazing. Sure, it’s known as a place to indulge
in things you maybe wouldn’t do elsewhere… a place to get a little wild and
crazy… a place where people tend to think about being ‘in the moment’ and not
‘what comes next.’ But it doesn’t have to be about that. It can also be a great
place to just hang out with the person you love!
There are so many things to see and do that you can really
keep as busy or as low key as you want. In our week together in Vegas we did a
lot of great things. Here are my top 5 faves to do with your special someone:
n
Relax
poolside! You’re on vacation, right? So take a little time to actually
relax and recharge. Our hotel had a great pool area where you could chill out
(Or bake in the sun, actually!) for hours. Just remember to drink plenty of
liquids, and a little water too. ;)
n
Take in a
show. There are so many to choose from. They are huge, and spectacular and
a fun way to spend a date night out.
n
Ride the
gondola boats at the Venetian. Yes, okay it’s a touristy, cheesy thing to
do, but it’s also strangely romantic! You’re cuddling, on a boat, with singing,
away from the crowds, out of the heat… What more could you ask for?
n
Watch the
fountains at the Bellagio at night. It really is a pretty sight and worth
the effort to wander past the fountains at any time of day, but
in the darkness, the show is really that much more amazing. There are also a
handful of restaurants where you can eat with a view of the fountains so you
get dinner and a show at the same time!
n
Dine
somewhere different every day! Seriously, there is so many good eats in
Vegas! You’re really limiting yourself if you eat at the same hotel every day.
So branch out a little and see what else is around. I bet you’ll find more
great places to eat than you can imagine. We had the best steaks, Mexican food,
stuffed French toast, and desserts! I can’t even tell you the place we ate
because we tried different ones all week!
In WITH THIS KISS Jenna and Max, who dated previously, spend
just a weekend in Vegas to be a part of their mutual friends’ wedding. The
bride-to-be has her whole wedding party along for the ride while they take in
the sights that are on her faves list, including the fountains and the gondola
ride. But when she requests Jenna and Max play along with a kiss that’s
supposed to be tinted with magic, they suddenly find themselves enjoying more
than the sights in Las Vegas…
WITH THIS KISS Blurb:
Jenna knew the weekend in Vegas, as maid of honor in her
best friend’s wedding, wouldn’t be easy—especially since her ex-boyfriend Max
was the best man. Surely they’ve moved past their breakup enough to survive a
few days together. When the bride asks them to play along during the
pre-wedding festivities, they’re tricked into participating in a kiss that will
allegedly bring them eternal love. Good thing they don’t believe in fairytales
or legends, and no amount of magic could spark desire between them again...
Suddenly, Jenna and Max can’t keep their hands off of each other, but if they
give in to their rekindling feelings, are they having a “What happens in Vegas
stays in Vegas” moment, or was there some truth to that magical kiss?
WITH THIS KISS Excerpt:
“Hurry up. Kiss her,” Jacob
urged.
Max leaned forward and slipped
his hand around the nape of her neck, pulling her into his space. He whispered
in her ear, “Let’s get this over with and make them happy, okay?”
“Fine,” she whispered back.
“And don’t wish to fall in love
with me, you know, just in case.” He was joking, of course. Their time as a
couple was over long ago.
“That ego of yours never stops
growing more inflated, does it?” she asked, sounding annoyed. Apparently she
hadn’t heard the joking tone in his whisper. “Don’t worry. I have plenty of
other things to wish for. Not that I believe this guy or some stupid kissing
bridge legend.”
“What are you waiting for? We’re
almost out from under the bridge,” Leah said, urgency in her voice. “Do it.
It’s not like we’re asking you to marry each other. It’s only a little kiss.
Surely you’re both mature enough to handle that.”
Without giving Leah the benefit
of a reply, Max cupped Jenna’s jaw in his hands and pressed his mouth to hers.
The instant their lips touched, he felt her straighten and stiffen against him.
A hum of electricity made his lips tingle. His kiss softened and so did she,
melting against his side.
Her lips parted and he slipped
his tongue inside, savoring the heat of her mouth. It felt so good to kiss her
again. Surprisingly good. Like coming inside to the roaring warmth of a
fireplace aglow after being out in a snowstorm. He deepened his kiss, tilting
his head slightly to the side to connect with her more. She responded by
pressing into him.
He could’ve stayed there forever,
kissing her, tasting her, but instead he forced himself to pull back, ending
their kiss with a firm yet gentle peck on the lips. Her eyes fluttered open and
she met his gaze. A hint of unexpected pleasure and passion reflected his
feelings in her eyes.

An interview with the writing duo, Rob and Joan Carter!
It's a pleasure to welcome the writing duo, Rob and Joan Carter as my guests!
It’s
exciting to have you here,for several reasons – you write a different genre
than I do, the titles of your books draw attention right off the bat, your
stories sound amazing, I’ve never had co-authors on my blog, you live in the
sunshine state and the graphics you use on Twitter are absolutely amazing. I
thought it would be great to find out more about the Carter novelists! So
welcome, Rob and Joan.
Let’s get to
the Q & A right away:
Q: I’ll start with an easy question. How long
have you been writing?
Rob: I started writing in Junior High
School while under the influence of JRR Tolkien. Unfortunately my first venture
was rather similar to his amazing work and, well that didn’t go anywhere. At
the same time I experimented in the poetry realm. With the advent of raising a
large family, my writing endeavors took a back seat but Joan and I continued to
write scripts for plays and other articles for our church. Finally after
everyone left the nest, we were able to bring our first novel to completion in
2013.
Joan: I began writing at the age of 6. I
wrote, directed and starred in an Easter play when I was in the first grade. I
lived in a small town and the whole town came to see our performance at the
local school. There was even a article written about it in the local newspaper
which my mother kept until the day she died. I continued to write short stories,
plays and skits through all my school years. As Rob said above, writing took a
back seat until we had finished raising our family. Rob and I did write skits,
plays, articles, etc. while our children were growing up. I also wrote women’s
Bible studies and Sunday school lessons.
Q: Writing isn’t easy. Do you find it easier or
harder to write as a couple? Have you been doing this so long that you know
where each other is going with a thought without needing clarification?
Rob: It’s definitely easier to do as a couple. With the the O’Rourke
series, I take the lead on the story line and Joan follows closely with her
ideas and where the story line should go. Then when we are finished with the
first draft we do two more rewrites and edits together and sometimes a third.
Joan definitely has the eye for editing and keeping our perspective in line.
Joan: I really enjoy writing as a couple. We don’t always know
where each other is going with a thought but we play off each other’s ideas
very well. Rob would have the characters eating hamburgers, French fries, steak
and baked potatoes all the time. He’s never met a salad or a vegetable (except
a potato) that he liked. So when Siobhan complains to Ryan that he needs to eat
more vegetables and fruit – that’s all me. When Ryan orders Martinis and
pitchers of Margaritas – that’s all Rob. If you are wondering if that happens
in our real life, well yes it does. Also Siobhan constantly punching Ryan on
the shoulder may or may not happen in our real life. Rob thinks of things that
I would never think of and vice versa.
Q: You write
crime novels, more specifically the O’Rourke series. Have you always loved thrillers
and investigative stories? Can you tell us a little about the research that
goes into writing these type of stories?
Rob: I have always liked detective
stories and especially the old fashioned type from the 1940’s and 1950’s. My
favorite author in that style is Max Collins. His Nate Heller series is
historical fiction. I don’t have the patience to research to that degree so you
won’t see that in the O’Rourke series. I do however research all the hi-tech
aspects of our books. Bioprinting was and still is an eye opener. Human body
parts are being reproduced by 3D printers and they are close to replicating
human tissue and arteries (Yikes!). I also draw upon my own experience in air
traffic to help in the aviation portions of the books.
Joan: I love to read. I have always been a fan of mysteries. I love historical fiction and especially historical mysteries. I also enjoy science fiction, dystopian novels and cozy mysteries. Did I just say mysteries a few times? I have always loved them so that was definitely why I chose the mystery genre. As far as the research goes - I love it! I am always researching what a C.I.F.I. would or wouldn't be able to do (Certified Insurance Fraud Investigator). I have also researched the hierarchy in the FBI, the type of mobile crime units they use and which agent would be called in for which crime. Just about everything our characters do I research to see if it is a feasible action. Actually I have looked up so many criminal acts and what the punishments would be, I sometimes worry I might be on a watch list somewhere. For example, I looked up what countries didn't have extradition treaties with the U.S. (now that doesn't look suspicious does it?)
Q: You’re
both very involved in the promo part of being an author. Who comes up with the
wonderful meme’s or graphic art you use on Twitter and Facebook? Can you show a
few so my readers know what I’m talking about?
A: We both
work on the publicity part. A friend has helped with some of the graphic art we
use. Most of our graphics we have put together ourselves. We use readily
available apps and our own or royalty free pictures.
Q: You currently
have Bioprints, Flash Zombies and Clone
Drones in the O’Rourke series. Will there be a book #4?
A: We are
currently working on a complete overhaul of our first novel Bioprints. When we complete that project
we’ll start book 4. We have ideas brewing in our heads already and even some
notes jotted down.
Q: Could you share some excerpts or favorite
passages from your books?
A: Excerpt from
the Bioprints rewrite:
Malibu,
California……..three weeks earlier…..
A
black sedan waited silently in the darkness just off the beach access road. The
partial moon cast a glow on the relentless surf on the beach down below. The
driver waited patiently for the call that would set things in motion that
couldn’t be stopped. Shortly after midnight, the silence was broken by his
buzzing cell phone. Slightly startled by the call that he expected, he answered
the call.
“Yes?”
“Delete
the target,” a deep voice instructed and the line went dead.
Excerpt from
Flash Zombies:
Oakbrook Mall, Oakbrook, Illinois…
It was a bright spring afternoon in
northern Illinois. A tall, handsome, dark haired man with a pencil thin
moustache strolled into the high end Mason’s Jewelry store. The store had
several locations in the Chicagoland area and was perhaps one of the oldest and
most respected jewelers in America . Dressed in a jet
black Hugo Boss suit with a light blue shirt and thin red tie he was not at all
out of place. He asked to see the Harry Winston collection in order to select a
bracelet for his wife. The sales clerk was delighted to show this obviously
qualified gentleman the most exclusive and expensive display in the store.
The brightly lit case was located in the
back center part of the store. It was surrounded by six evenly placed security
cameras. As he looked over the selection of sparkling bracelets, he asked to
see the two on the rotating stand. The seven inch platinum and diamond
bracelets were each close to thirty carats. Taking out a pair of reading glasses
he examined them very closely, admiring them as he set them down side by side
on the blue velvet cloth.
The sound of a buzzing cell phone broke the
pensive silence. The man reached in his pocket and took out his phone. Typing
in a response to the text, he also selected an app. Two keystrokes later, he
glanced up at the security cameras and watched as they all winked off. No one
else seemed to notice.
Excerpt from
Clone Drones:
Chicago, Illinois suburb...
A full August moon bathed the northern Illinois landscape in a soft ghostly light. The security guard, at the entrance to the exclusive collection of imposing homes, yawned as he monitored the video feed from numerous cameras. Tirelessly keeping watch on the sleeping residents, the electronic eyes maintained their vigilant task. The walled and gated community was surrounded by a county forest preserve and was designed to offer the utmost in privacy and security.
A Senator resided in one of the stately homes. On this evening the Senator's wife had already fallen asleep as he finished the last chapter of his crime novel. He put his book on the shelf and poured himself a nightcap before making his way upstairs for the night. Glancing at the security panel he made sure everything was secure.
His normal routine, when he wasn't in Washington, was to sit out on the massive balcony and enjoy a cigar with his Scotch before retiring for the night. This evening was no exception. He made his way out to his evening retreat to relax and clear his mind. Pleased with the way his novel had ended, he exhaled a large cloud of smoke that drifted slowly out over the railing and hung in the still night air. A few minutes later, as he thought about tomorrow's busy schedule, he noticed the smoke begin to ripple from below the balcony rail.
Soon the smoke cleared away with a whisper of sound as a small black box with rotors on top appeared hovering in front of him. The Senator stood rubbing his eyes in disbelief. Suddenly a small panel retracted on the front of the box and two muffled shots hit him in the chest. He looked down as blood began pouring out and soaking his shirt. Grabbing his chest he turned and stumbled toward the bedroom door. Another muffled shot from behind dropped him in his tracks.
On the other side of the balcony railing the flying black box retreated silently into the darkness.
Q: When
you’re not writing, what do you like to do for fun or to unwind?
A: We both
love our children and grandchildren and spend most of our free time with them.
Last year we took a family vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We rented a
huge cabin high in the mountains. There were beautiful views from every room, a
hot tub, a pool table, four indoor fireplaces, four decks and one outdoor
fireplace. We went hiking, took a scenic train trip and visited an orchard.
Every night Joan did Bigfoot whoops off the deck to the delight of our
grandchildren. This year we are renting a beach house on the Atlantic coast for
all of us. We also like to do paranormal investigating, traveling, cruising and
camping.
A word from Jan:
Rob and Joan
are incredible authors who are incredibly helpful to other authors. Their
generosity comes in many ways. One of the big ways is by BROWSE for BOOKS
(Formerly AHA – Authors Helping Authors). It’s a cool site. Check out the
