Romance that Lives and Breathes the Power of Love

In a cyber world filled with books and new releases on a daily basis, a few names stand out. One of these is Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy.

Ms. Sontheimer Murphy is a writer of romance novels. Her first two releases are both paranormal romance, WOLFE'S LADY and LOVE TATTOO. She now writes for four different e-publishers and has an amazing number of upcoming works.

Question: You have two novels out. What's next?

Ms. Sontheimer Murphy:

I have signed contracts so far for nine novels. The sequel to LOVE TATTOO, a really fun take on vampires, LOVE SCARS will be out from the same publisher, Evernight, in June. This summer, I will also have a short, sweet historical out from Astraea Press called "The Marriage Cure", a romantic suspense, "Kinfolk", out in July from Champagne Books, and a contemporary romance, Love Never Fails from Rebel Ink Press in September.

Then I have a time travel release, A Time To Love, out in November from Champagne. I also have two already confirmed for 2012, Witness Protection Program from Rebel Ink and Long Live The King from Champagne. That one will be out in May 2012.

Question: Sounds like you are a busy writer. What else have you done or are working on?

I am busy! I'm working on a third book with Will Brennan and Cara Riley, my characters from Love Tattoo and doing edits for some of the other upcoming works. I have an essay in the latest Chicken Soup for the Soul volume, I do some short fiction, and a lot more.

I hope to add some more titles to upcoming list soon.

Question: When and how did you begin writing?

I always made up stories. I scribbled out my "first novel" in the fifth grade - a start, I suppose, that brought me to where I am now.

Question: Where can readers find your books?

I have an Amazon author page so everything will be there as it comes out. Books are available from the publisher sites, All Romance ebooks, and more including both Smashwords and Barnes and Noble.

Question:

Do you belong to any writers organizations?

Yes, I do. I'm a member of Romance Writers of America (RWA), Missouri Writers Guild (MWG), the Ozark Writers Leage (OWL) and Paranormal Writers Guild (PWG)

Question: How about a short blurb from LOVE TATTOO since it seems to be popular and will have more books with the same characters?

Sure. One kiss detours Cara Riley from her last shot at a Nashville singing career. When she meets sexy truck driver Will Brennan, she's enchanted and must see where their fast moving relationship might take them. From Beale Street to the midnight trolley, they play in Memphis by night. Will has his quirks - he sleeps by day, plays by night, and dresses in black - but when Cara visits his castle like home, she learns the secret he's kept for over two hundred years. Whether or not they can find a happily ever after is up to Cara.

Thank you for joining us today and answering our questions. Best of luck with the novels and the writing career, Ms. Sontheimer Murphy!
