Welcome Today's Featured Author
Kim Deister!!
One Stormy Night is the long-awaited prequel to Kissing
Frogs, a paranormal romance that travels through time! It is Finn’s story,
telling the story of a cursed life. There are real people and real events in
this. Even some of the news headlines that are referenced, although weird, are
real. It was a challenge to find ways to weave those things into the story!
::a blurb::
Everything happens for a reason. Even a
curse...
Finneas O'Malley is not a man built for love.
He could never love a woman more than he loves the adventure and danger of a
life at sea, the freedom to chase the wind wherever it takes him. The lure of a
foreign land, the danger of a battle at sea, the exotic lasses he beds... how
could any man turn away from that?
But when Finn wrongs Siofra, all of that
changes. Curses. Magic. Centuries of being beholden to a vengeful fae who wants
nothing more than to destroy him. Can he find a way to break the curse? Will he
find the very thing he once scorned?
NOTE: This book should be read after Kissing
Frogs.

About Kim Deister:
Kim Deister was born and raised in a tiny college town
called Potsdam in the wilds of northern New York, about as far north as one can
be without living in Canada. She grew up in a family of teachers and lawyers
and bucked all the traditions by joining the US Army. She spent many years in
boots working as a Signals Intelligence Analyst and linguist in the military
intelligence corps (no jokes!). She also spent time as a tech writer for
Corning Glass, a executive administrative assistant, a web designer, and an
editor (still). Now she’s a writer who loves both reading and writing them.
When she’s not writing or lounging on the beach, she’s probably somewhere with
her nose in a book!

1. Can you tell us a little about your books?
I am definitely a multi-genre author! The Kissing Frogs duology is paranormal romance with a little bit of
comedy. The first one is contemporary, while the second travels through history.
They are loosely inspired by the fairy tale, The Princess and the Frog. Eclipsed,
however, is contemporary romance with no paranormal at all, just like Camouflage Christmas, which was part of
the 25 Days of Christmas anthology. Trust in Chaos, part of the Unleashed anthology to be released 20
August, is a paranormal romance set in a dystopian future. Sandy Toes, part of the Wicked
Nights of Summer boxed set is a shifter/witch, paranormal romance. But
I’m currently finishing up a totally different book, Last Night. This one is a psychological thriller/horror novel!
2. What inspires you to write?
A lot of different things. Sometimes, it’s a random person I see
when I’m out and about. Other times, it’s a news story or a photograph I see.
I’m about to start writing a contemporary romance/mystery that was inspired by
a phrase in the Shinedown song Call Me.
3. How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
I’ve written four books, three novellas, and one short story. Kissing Frogs is definitely a favorite,
if only that it will always be a symbol of fulfilling my dream of being an
author. Eclipsed is my most personal,
largely based on my own experiences. But Last
Night, although dark and disturbing has been my favorite to write. I don’t
know what that says about me!
4. Do you have a special time to write or how is your day
structured?
During the school year, I usually write from about 8 in the
morning to about 3. I take advantage of the kids being in school, etc. It’s
much more of a challenge during vacations!
5. Do you have a favorite food or drink you must have nearby when
writing?
Coffee, coffee, and coffee. Have I mentioned coffee? And in the
afternoons, those little Sargento cheese and nut snack packs. I love them!
6. Do you have a favorite spot to write?
If I’m at home, my desk. It had a former life as a dining room
table that sat six, so it’s nice and roomy. Candles and incense and lots of
music help, too. The music changes from book to book, but it’s usually loud and
angry! Otherwise, there’s a little café on the North Shore (I live on O’ahu in
Hawai’i) that has free WiFi, great coffee, and lots of wraps with alfalfa in
them. It’s open air and I love the smell of the ocean!
7. What are some of your favorite pastimes?
Well, I’m convinced I’m at least part mermaid, so my favorite
things to do usually involve the beach. But besides that, I read like there’s
no tomorrow. I also play a lot of World of Warcraft. And during hockey season,
I can be found on game days, screaming for the New York Rangers. And, for fun,
I’m learning Swedish. Yes, I’m a nerd!
8. What are writing projects are you currently working on?
I just finished the first draft of Last Night. I also have a bunch of anthologies coming up at the
beginning of 2019. I’m also just beginning a new novel, the one inspired by
Shinedown. So, I’m betting 2019 will be just as busy as 2018!
