Author Interview and Giveaway: Shona Husk

Today I am interviewing Shona Husk and giving away her new book Lord of the Hunt.

1. Tell me about yourself.

Shona: I’m now a full time author (yay!). I love dark chocolate, and cooking especially with chocolate, to counteract the chocolate I also like running and swimming :). My to be read pile is constantly shifting and never shrinking (I promise at the start of every year to reduce the size yet somehow the size never changes). 

2. Your new book is called Lord of the Hunt. Tell me about the book too :)

Shona: Lord of the Hunt is Verden’s story. He is the Lord of the Hunt and answers only to the King, making him the second most powerful man in Annwyn. To get there he played hard and took down the old Hunter…however now he’s been there for a few centuries he’s finding the view isn’t as grand as he should but he can’t quite figure out what is missing as no fairy would be stupid enough to gamble with their heart and fall in love. 

Then Taryn shows up seeking a pardon for her father and what starts out as protecting her from the viciousness of Court becomes something much more dangerous. 

Taryn was a great heroine to write. She starts out as a fish out of water and ends up with great personal power—something she doesn’t want, unlike every other fairy. That’s about all I can say without giving away spoilers.  

3. Will there be more books in the series?

Shona: The Changeling Soldier is a novella that will be out mid-year, and book three in the series, To Love a King, will be out in October. The Changeling Soldier is a romance between a fairy on her way home before the power shift and a man just learning about his fairy heritage. There are some tough choices to be made before they can be together.

To Love a King is Felan’s story! (I know some people have been waiting for this). To claim the throne of Annwyn and save two worlds he’ll first have to win Jacquie’s heart, again. Hopefully they can get their relationship right the second time around ;)

4. Is there a genre you have not tried but would like to explore?

Shona: Last year I started writing sci-fi romance, which is a lot of fun and something that I really wanted to try. If I had a great idea I wouldn’t hesitate to try something new—at the moment I’m not planning on trying a new genre. However I often experiment with different things as it’s fun for me, but it also helps me grow as a writer. 

5.  What is coming next from you?

Shona: I have a busy couple of months coming up. Temptation on a Bottle will be out soon, and then over the next few months I have a couple of erotic sci-fi romances coming out with Ellora’s Cave: Lunar Reunion and Lunar Dancer (set in the same world as Lunar Exposure). And mid 2014 The Changeling Soldier (an Annwyn novella will be out).

Thanks!

LORD OF THE HUNT BY SHONA HUSK – IN STORES JANUARY 2014 

She Wasn’t Cut Out for His World...

The realm of the fairies might be unbelievably beautiful, but its people are notoriously treacherous. Raised among mortals, Taryn hoped to avoid her fairy heritage her whole life. But now she must cross over to Annwyn and appeal to the King to pardon her exiled parents, or they're sure to die. And to get to the King, she'll first have to face the Lord of the Hunt...

He Can't Imagine Life Without Her...

Verden, Lord of the Hunt, is sworn to serve to King. But the moment he sees Taryn, the attraction is instant and devastating. How can he not help the beautiful, brave young woman who refuses to bend to the will of the court? Yet the power in Annwyn is shifting, its magic failing. No matter how much he may love Taryn, the Hunter knows that abandoning his duty could bring down the mortal world forever...
