Interview and Giveaway: Anne Elizabeth and A Seal at heart


The Holidays are around the corner, and I am celebrating early with an interview with Anne Elizabeth and giveaways.

Welcome

1. Who is Anne Elizabeth? 
 I am a romance author, a comic creator, a monthly columnist, a wife, a step-mother, a grandmother, godmother, a friend, a mentor, a fur-mother, and an adventurer.

2. Could you tell me about your new book, A SEAL AT HEART?
 Being a Navy SEAL means everything to Jack Roaker, but a mission gone wrong has left his buddy dead, his memory spotty, and his world turned upside down. His career as a US Navy SEAL is threatened unless Dr. Laurie Smith’s unconventional methods of therapy can help him.

3.  Give me 3 reasons why my readers will fall in love with the hero, John... 
John "Jack" Roaker is a not a typical guy. He's stubborn, tender, determined, spontaneous, and purposeful. He loves strongly…as if this is his last moment on earth…and he never gives up.

4.  How did you come up with the idea for this book? 
My husband, who is retired from the Teams, was sitting at the table one night and we were chatting about romance and Navy SEALS. One of my sister romance writers was there and the idea suddenly popped out. I knew it the moment I said it aloud.

5.  I see that you have written comics too. Is there a big difference on how you work on a comic and working in a novel? 
There is definitely a difference. Strangely enough, comics take longer. You have to use a different part of your brain and you have to boil everything down to one detail or visual that moves the action along. It takes a lot of work to really hone the concept and images. Alisa Kwitney (romance author, former editor from DC COMICS, and talented graphic novel author) has given me a ton of advice and she is brilliant!

6. What can we expect next from you? 
I'm working on edits for BOOK II of the SEAL series and writing BOOK III. Also, I've been scripting the next graphic novels and comics for the PULSE series. Oh, then there is my monthly column at RT BOOK REVIEWS magazine, I'm working on the next interviews for that, too.

Giveaway 1:
BTW, to winners of your choice, I'd be happy to give away TWO autographed copies of my latest graphic novel, THE POWER PLAY-A Story From The PULSE OF POWER World. Thank you for asking about A SEAL AT HEART and the PULSE comics. HOOYAH!
