Author Interview About Latest Book
Today my good friend, Christy Gissendaner is joining
us. Like me she lives in a home full of testosterone with a hubby and three
boys out numbering her. Thankfully for us, she finds time to write some amazing
stories. Christy writes contemporary paranormal romance who believes laughter
and love should go hand in hand.
CLAIMED is one of my favorite books. I’d certainly vote for super hot Cameron Maddox for US President! The hero is a
powerful politician who has his eyes set on the presidency AND a cute little
bakery owner. Love it!!!
Christy
is a prolific writer and has published with various houses such as Entangled, Etopia, and Liquid Silver Books.

| NEW RELEASE The plot has humor, intrigue, great dialogue with witty one-liners that will stick with you. The characters are a twist on the usual shifter tale. A love between a wolf & dragon? Anything is possible. |
Thanks for joining us, Christy.
Congrats on the new book! How many books
do you have written?
Oh goodness
no. I’ve lost count actually. Between both names – Christy Gissendaner and
Robin Danner – I’m well over thirty works.
Wowza! You certainly
have an overactive imagination or a muse with a slave-driving personality. What
inspired you to write your latest book?
Hmm…that’s a
hard one. I can’t actually remember what inspired me. Probably the title. I
came up with it first, and my publisher wanted me to write something hot, funny,
and fast. So I did!
How did you come up with the title?
Shift
Happens is just my tongue-in-cheek humor.
I love it! LOL How do you come up with your characters’
names?
Babynames.com.
LOL! No, I’m serious. I do like to look up baby names to pick my characters’
names. I do sometimes look up their meaning, especially if I’m utilizing
mythology.
I’d admit, I do the
same but I’ll have to check out that site. If you could have any movie star
take on a role as one of your heroes, who would it be?
Oohhhh…Ben
Affleck. Just cause I’d love to meet him!
Yeah, baby! His eyes can be so intense but when he smiles,
he looks like he’s hiding a sexy secret. Speaking of sexy
secrets, how naughty do you get with your writing? I’m more of a “sweetly” hot writer. Some of my ratings vary
from down and dirty to practically PG-13.
What would you say has
been the hardest scenes for you to write?
One of the
hardest scenes to date has been a sexual abuse scene one of my heroines
suffers. It was very personal and I hope I stayed true-to-life without
upsetting too many readers.
I’d agree. What is the
strangest thing you’ve Googled while working the story?
Google is my
friend! I Google things all the time. In fact, one of my favorite slogans is
“Let’s ask The Google” in a mechanical, robotic voice. I Google anything from
real estate to legends to foreign phrases. The strangest thing…hmm…I’d have to
think about that one. Probably researching the porn industry.
Do you have any rituals
while writing?
No rituals
really. I snatch writing time when I can. With a full-time day job and three
sons, I barely have time as it is!
I feel ya sista!!! Do you have anything you would like to say to
your readers?
(Tapping mic) Is this thing on? Okay, good. Thanks
for sticking by me and reading whatever pops into my head!

Blurb:
Ellie Reynolds
runs a nail salon that caters to shifters of all varieties. The proverbial
shift hits the fan when billionaire mogul Jackson Lawrence walks in the door
and offers Ellie two million dollars to sell her shop. Ellie has no intention
of selling out, especially to someone who plans to bulldoze her shop to the ground
and replace it with a fast food joint. Their battle of wit and will is brought
to a sudden halt when Jackson’s enemies appear, throwing them into a fight for
their lives.
Jackson
believed he'd left violence behind when he resigned his position with the Blood
Wolves, a secret shifter military group, but someone wants his company's cyber
invention and will stop at nothing to get it. He didn't mean to drag Ellie into
his mess, but he’s willing to do anything to protect her and the firewall his
friend created...anything except fight his attraction to the outspoken redhead
he's suddenly responsible for. Jackson soon learns Ellie is hotter than he
first gave her credit for...like dragon hot...and life is about to get a whole
lot more interesting.
Sometimes
shift happens when you least expect it.
