Alexis: Today we have paranormal romance author, Jodi Vaughn, visiting us and she will be giving away an ecopy of VIELED SECRETS to one lucky commenter. Welcome Jodi!
Alexis: When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
Jodi:
I’ve always had stories in my head. I even started to write down a few on
paper. It wasn’t until I attended a one day writer’s conference at a small
University in Arkansas and met Jodi Thomas that I realized I could actually do
this. She told me about RWA and gave me some very encouraging words. From that
moment on, I decided I made the choice to become a writer, and I have never
regretted it.
Alexis:
What made you chose your title?
Jodi:VEILED
SECRETS was not the original title. Quite a few editors had read it and told me
to change the title to something less generic. (No, I’m not saying what it was.
Lol) I started digging into my story and
realized that this story is about my heroine’s journey to not only find out
what she is but to reconcile the fact that those closest to her hide her identity
( that she has Fae blood) for years.
VEILED SECRETS seemed to fit.
Alexis:
What are you working on now?
Jodi:
I have finished the second book, VEILED ENCHANTMENT, and am plotting out the
third book in this trilogy.
I
have also started a shifter series that is set in Arkansas. So far I have four
books written and can’t wait to start the fifth.
Alexis:
What was the first romance you ever read?
Jodi:
The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen
Woodiwiss. I was in Jr. High when my mother let me borrow her book. I never
returned it.
Alexis:
Ah yes, mine was Shanna. What has
been the best piece of advice you ever received for your writing career?
Perseverance
and determination are the key to getting published. Don’t ever stop writing and
don’t ever give up.
Alexis:

away an ecopy of VEILED SECRETS to one lucky commenter. Check out the blurb of
this story!
VEILED SECRETS
When fairies and
demons collide all hell breaks loose.
Celeste Hart yearns for a normal
life, but she has never fit in because of her dark visions. She vows to let
nothing stop her from discovering what she is, good, bad or evil. But she is
soon distracted from her quest when sexy Eric Nordstrom charms his way into her
bed. He leaves her even more confused by her intense feelings for him and
discovers their one night of passion has resulted in something that will change
them forever, a child.
CEO Eric Nordstrom has no interest
in romance and even less in a relationship. His company has always been his
focus. But he can’t stop thinking about the elusive Celeste, who has made him
feel more in one night than he has in his entire life. When he learns of the
pregnancy, he convinces Celeste to marry him on the pretense of keeping the
company from another scandal while trying to seduce her back into his arms.
Celeste struggles to fit into Eric’s
elite world and soon discovers her visions are a result of having Fae blood.
When the vengeful Queen of the Fairies sends a demon army to take her unborn
child, Celeste must embrace her fairy heritage and enlist Eric’s help in her
life and death fight. Suspicious of a
world he doesn’t understand yet determined to protect the woman he loves, Eric
joins forces with Celeste to protect their unborn child from the evil that has
invaded their home.
Fate brought them together, will
destiny rip them apart?
