Interview with Gretchen SB


Tell us a little about your latest or upcoming release.

          Lady of the Dead is a Paranormal Romance. It is the first book (hopefully) in the Night World series. The female lead, Gwen, has the ability to see the Spirit World. This ability make her prone to attacks from Spirit World inhabitants. Because of these attacks she has a detail of guards assigned to protect her. While helping the police with what seems to be a common case, Gwen hears about a war beginning in the Night World.
          The male lead, Cesar, is the King of the North American Night World. When he hears the war rumors surrounding the Lady of the Dead he travels to Washington to investigate. He is quietly distracted from his task by an ever growing attraction to Gwen.


Have you ever based your book or characters on actual events or people from your own life?

          My current release is not. There is an Urban Fantasy I am working on where the lead character started out being based on a good friend of mine. I was joking about him becoming a cop. That joke planted a seen in my head and the story bloomed from there.

What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?

          I have a deep love for semi cheesy action movies. I became ridiculously excited when I heard they were making Die Hard 4. I made Die Hard 5 the date for Valentine's Day. I also giggled my way through both Expendables movies.

When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?

          I like to knit. I currently have a queue of four blankets and a scarf waiting for me. Oh, and a sweater, though in will probably be warm again by the time I get to it.

Is there a genre(s) that you’d like to write that you haven’t tackled yet?

          I want to write one of those deeply moving tear-jerkers. I know that will never happen because I feel bad being that mean to my characters. I would also love to write a gripping thriller but knowing me I would make in paranormal without even meaning to.


If this book is part of a series…what is the next book? Any details you can share?

          This book is part of a series. The next book will take place a few weeks later, after things have settled down momentarily. The working title is Viking's Sensitivity. If you read Lady of the Dead, that title will give you a pretty big clue about the plot of the next book.

What is next for you? Do you have any scheduled upcoming releases or works in progress?


          My goal is to have Weres of Washington out by the end of the year. Then have Homicide in King out by the end of March 2014. After that I do not have a set timeline, but I am hoping to have Viking's Sensitivity next by this time next year.
