Welcome to Njkinny’s World of Books, Marie!
Let’s start the interview. 🙂
To get us started can you tell us a little about what you are
working on or have coming out?

Hello! My name is Marie Mason and I write shifter
romances. Whew, glad that confession is out of the way. I’m working feverishly
to finish Blind Date with a Bear which
I hope to have out by mid-November. The characters are being a little difficult;
they don’t want the story to end either. In December I hope to have Christmas Wolf, a very short shifter
romance up for the holiday.

Do you have any guilty pleasures?
Chocolate and men. And ice cream. Preferably
chocolate ice cream on a man.

Name one thing readers would be
surprised to know about you.
I secretly want to try a ménage-a-trois – I mean
really what woman wouldn’t?

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
The mountains. There’s nothing more beautiful
than driving along a stretch of interstate on a clear blue autumn day.

How do you get yourself in the mood to
write?
Open my computer and stare at the blank screen. I
also go back and re-read books from my keeper shelf – yes, I have shelves
filled with paperback books even in this electronic age.

What is the strangest source of writing
inspiration you’ve ever had?
inspiration you’ve ever had?
Standing in a check-out line at
the grocery store. I know the plot has been done before, but what if that
handsome stranger just grabbed you and kissed you?

Are your characters able to love or do they
need to be taught?
need to be taught?
They need to be taught. The
women are usually not as self-confident as most. They need someone to show them
they are lovable. Yes, some readers might disagree with not having a strong,
confident heroine, but really, what person is that secure in themselves that
they think they are truly lovable? To me, that person is even stronger when
they allow themselves to open up to another person than the individual who has
no doubts.

The heroes in my stories just
don’t believe in love. They believe in sex and mating, but not the pesky
emotions. To them, mating is loving. There’s a fine line between being
domineering and being dominant. Most men have difficulty learning that lesson.
But don’t worry, my heroines always make sure they learn the difference.

What can readers expect next from you?
Blind Date with a Bear is scheduled for release in
mid-November and Christmas Wolf in
December. And, I’m just saying, maybe
you’ll see a character or two (hint, hint) from Blind Date sometime in 2014.
