Today we
have author Tiffany Daune for an author interview. Help us welcome her to MFRW
Author’s Blog.
Tell
us about your latest book, including its genre. Does it cross over to other
genres? If so, what are they?
Surface is a young adult paranormal romance and is also
my debut novel. Romance is the tie that
binds this novel, but if you also crave a good thriller then Surface will be sure to send your heart
racing.
What
can we expect from you in the future?
Surface is the first book in a trilogy and I'm thrilled
Noble Romance Publishing has offered a contract for the sequel, so keep an eye
out for Landlocked in the near
future. I'll be posting tidbits on my blog and may even tweet a few snippets.
I'm also busy writing the last book in the series and hope to be done by this
summer, so I can finally tan my ghostly bod.
Why
did you decide to write romance novels?
I grew up
on Disney. How could I not be conditioned to write the romantic happily ever
after? I'm a sucker for any guy meets girl & falls hopelessly in love
plotline. Love never gets old.
What is your writing routine once you start a book?
For me,
the only way to stick to a writing routine is by following the advice of author
Alyson Noel, "B.I.C. (Butt in the chair)." When I wander into the kitchen for tea and
chocolate or when tweeting seems more enjoyable than my plotline, I recall her
words of wisdom and sit my derrière back down and write.
What
do you do to relax and recharge your batteries?
This is a
tough one, I'm kind of a workaholic because let face it really, I play all day.
I love getting up knowing I'm going to make up a whole new world with new
characters and bring them to life. I kind of know how Victor Frankenstein felt,
crazy obsessed and thrilled when the story comes ALIVE. That said writing is hard work, so when I do
need to recharge, I unplug. I have to get away from the screen and spend time
with my family. My family boosts me up and I'm good to go back to my lab I mean
laptop.
What
is the most rewarding thing about being a writer?
The
clothes
If
you weren't writing, what would you be doing?
Taming
Lions
Are
there any words of encouragement for unpublished writers?
Don't ever
give up. Write and Submit. Write and Submit. Write and Submit. And when the
rejection letters come in blast Katy Perry's song Firework. Then back to write and submit. Write and Submit.
What
do you hope readers take with them after reading your work?
I want
them to feel the story, more than just reading the words. When they put the
book down the emotions of the characters should still resonate within
them.
A biography has been written about you. What
do you think the title would be in six words or less?

Tiffany Daune doesn't get why people want to grow up
or why anyone would ever stop eating candy. Her purse is filled with books, lip
gloss and a few pieces of Lego bricks. She writes best with a dish of chocolate
chips on hand and finds licorice makes a better straw than plastic.
She lives on an island and believes mermaids may be
raiding her candy stash, though she hasn't caught them, yet.
