Interview With Toya Richardson:
1. Can you tell us a little about your
books?
I
write Paranormal Romance, Contemporary Romance and Romantic suspense.
At present, I am writing book 5 in a Paranormal Romance Series, The
Protectors Series which I’m self-publishing. Book 4 Enchanted Passion will be
released Summer/Autumn this year. There are shifters, elementals and witches in
these books, so a bit of everything for readers who love Paranormal Romance.
Last year I completed book four in a Beach Reads series, which is
with a publisher. Each story is set in a location I have personally visited,
New Zealand, Australia, Cromer in Norfolk UK and one set on a cruise ship,
which is a Christmas novella.
I’ve also written my first ever Rom Com, which is another Christmas
novella, called Festive Love Coach. Due to be released sometime this December.
The idea for this came about when a reader told me about all the antics of her
fellow travellers on a coach trip at Christmas. I had a lot of fun writing this
one!
Altogether, I have eighteen books published at present some with
publishers, others without.
2. What inspires you to write?
My
mum was always my biggest supporter. She read to me from a very early age and
always encouraged me to use my imagination. She would have loved to see me
published, but sadly passed away before that happened. Each of my books is
dedicated to her memory.
Other
things that inspire me could be anywhere from places that I’ve visited on
holiday, or when I’m out walking. It could be a person I see in the street, or
a name that triggers off a whole series of events culminating in a story. I
have so many books of notes and half-written stories, so I’ll never run out of
ideas!
3. Do you work with an outline, or just
write?
So
many times in the past I’ve written plot lines, but as soon as I start typing
my characters take over and never go the way I planned. It can be frustrating
but exciting too.
4. Do you have a release
day tradition?
None
at all, just the usual nervous anticipation knowing that your book baby is
about to be released. I usually feel very sick and anxious but that’s all part
of it.
5. If you could be friends with one of
your character, which one would you chose?
Wow,
that’s a tough one and one I honestly haven’t thought about. Probably Mila in
Wild Desire, The Protectors Series Book 1. She has a lot to deal with. Not only
does she have to come to terms with the fact she’s mated a stage shifter and
coping with the intense emotions it brings. She also has to deal with events
from her past that catch up with her. She is caring and compassionate in
nature, but also fearless and loyal. A great asset to have on your side. Oh,
and Elias, her mate, is uber hot!
6. Do you have a special time to write or
how is your day structured?
I
don’t have a specific time. I write when the muse is with me. I work part time
which can be a pain when the writing bug strikes then. I just pray I have the
momentum when I get home. I have Friday to Monday off so have plenty of time to
get writing.
7. If you had a superpower, what would it
be?
The ability to heal even mortal wounds.
8. What writing projects are you
currently working on?
I’m also working on a new paranormal romance series called Hybrid
Lovers. Book 1, Captivated is complete although I have no release date yet.
This one is a ménage between two Hybrid angel/vampires and their human fated
mate.
Recently, I completed a duet set in Tenerife. I was hoping to
release them this year, but it is looking more likely that it will be next year
now.
Plus, last week I was searching through my old flash drives and
found at least half a dozen books in varying stages. Some complete, some a few
chapters long, so that’s given me even more to play with!
