Interview With
Montana Ash!!!
Interview With Montana Ash:
1.
Can
you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Well,
I’m an Aussie from country New South Wales and I write paranormal
and fantasy romance. ‘Warden’
is my debut novel and I see many more books in my future. I love
reading from all genres but paranormal romance always brings that
extra little bit of joy. I love to travel, eat chocolate, and I have
one dog and one cat (Montana and Ashby).
2.
Can you tell us a little about your book?
‘Warden’
is the
first book in my Elemental Paladins series. It features a gaggle of
smokin’ hot knights, born to protect and serve, as well as one very
clueless charge, born to annoy the hell out of them! The leading
lady, Max, is quick-witted, sharp-tongued, dirty-minded and pervy!
Very, very pervy! She’s tough because she’s had to fight to
survive and can’t believe her luck when she stumbles upon the
‘harem’ of good looking paladins. The sarcastic little redhead
meets her match in Ryker, the reluctant leader of the ancient
knights. He’s broody and insensitive … but he does have nipple
rings! Did I mention Max was pervy? So she can pretty much forgive
him anything when he flashes those metal bars at her from his
amazingly ripped chest!
3.
Do you have a favorite character to write about?
Well,
my author tagline is; ‘Where
the fallen find redemption’,
so I guess I enjoy writing about the flawed who have the potential
for greatness. I love it when perfection rises from the broken and
believe everyone has the potential to be more- some just need a
little help … or a little kick up the butt! And there’s nothing
better, when a strong, stubborn Alpha admits he’s wrong!
4.
How
did you choose the genre you write in?
I’m
a thinker- with live action movies constantly playing in my head. All
my internal worlds and daydreams feature all things paranormal;
knights, shifters, witches, demons, mages etc. etc. So I guess
paranormal and fantasy romance kind of chose me, not the other way
around. I love the endless possibilities paranormal and fantasy
writing provides.
5.
Do you work with an outline, or just write?
I
just write. I actually write scene by scene, writing passages as they
come to me and then stitch it all together like a patch-work quilt.
It’s probably not very efficient … but it gets the job done!
6.
What do you do when you are not writing?
I
am a scientist. Specifically, I am an embryologist, so I mix up
babies in a dish all day! I also do some freelance proofreading and
copyediting on the side. And I read … I read a
lot!
7.
Do you have a favorite spot to write?
The
lounge! Again, probably not the most efficient place to write. I have
big dreams of an elaborate home office in my future.
8
Do you listen to music while you write?
Yep!
Or I have the TV on with an old favourite movie. I like noise!
9.
What
writing projects are you currently working on?
I
am currently working on book two in the Elemental Paladins series,
‘Paladin’.
It follows immediately on after ‘Warden’
and features Darius and Diana as the main love interest. I’m hoping
for an Easter release. Soon to follow will be a new series, cheekily
name-dropped courtesy of Max in ‘Warden’.
For everyone who has read (or yet to read) ‘Warden’,
keep your eyes peeled for mention of Sabre, the rather violent angel
assassin from the Reluctant Royals!
‘Warden is the
debut novel for Aussie paranormal and fantasy romance author, Montana
Ash.’
Synopsis
Ryker
is a paladin. An ancient knight, born to protect those precious few
who hold powers over the elements. He is bound by honour, courage and
loyalty. But when tragedy strikes he forsakes everything he stands
for, vowing never to serve again. He opens his home to other rejected
and dishonoured knights … but never his heart. That is, until a
sarcastic, sword-wielding, miniature Warden barges into his life,
bringing chaos and mayhem to his carefully ordered world.
Will
he forgive himself for past mistakes? Or will old wounds continue to
scar his future?
Max
is different. She has a strange affinity to nature and finds herself
constantly causing disasters wherever she goes. What’s more,
strange creatures stalk her every step, their relentless pursuit
driving her to the brink of exhaustion. Stumbling upon a gaggle of
hot ancient knights seems too good to be true but she can’t deny
they have the answers she’s looking for. Too bad their Captain is a
growly, insensitive jerk who insults her every time he opens his
gorgeous mouth.
Should
she trust her instincts and allow herself to hope for the first time
in her life? Or will her fierce independence cause her to lose the
one thing she has always craved? A home.
Excerpt
Warning 18+
He was just walking past the
window to grab his clothes when a flash of flesh from below caught
his eye. Cali was dressed in her usual tight shorts and sports bra
but it wasn’t the sight of the willowy blonde that had him freezing
in his tracks. No it was the shorter, curvier red head, dressed in
tights and a belly-revealing singlet top. She was bending over, head
flush with her knees, arms wrapped her legs with all that glorious
hair brushing along the ground. So much for negative reinforcement,
he thought as he glared accusingly at his once again rigid dick. The
woman’s arse was a thing of beauty, all round and firm, and his
hands literally flexed with the need to touch. As if sensing his
gaze, Max whipped herself upright, her turquoise gaze latching onto
his form that was no doubt outlined perfectly in the early morning
light. Hell, the window he was standing at was even arch-shaped, like
he was posing for some cheesy romance novel or something. Panicking
and acting purely in self-preservation rather than rational thought,
he allowed his limbs to go loose and face-planted on the floor below
the window.
For the next five minutes he
could do no more than mewl like a kitten … he had landed directly
on his stiff cock.

About Montana Ash:
Montana is a
self-confessed book junkie. Although she loves reading all genres
from romance to crime fiction to sci-fi, her not-so-guilty pleasure
is paranormal romance. Alpha men, just a little bit damaged, and
Alpha women who don't seem to know they need looking after, are a
favourite combination of hers. Throw in some steamy sex scenes, a
touch of humour, and a little violence and she is in heaven!
Her overactive (and
overindulged) imagination could only take so much before the many
voices wanted out. Thus, Montana's journey into the wonderful world
of writing.
She is a scientist
by day, having grown up in country New South Wales, Australia.
Writing about ancient knights, demons and shapeshifters is such a
delicious contradiction to her day job in the laboratory, that she
doesn't see the voices stopping anytime soon!
