Today's interview is with
Catherine Mann, and there is a great giveaway at the end.
Welcome!
1. Could you tell me a
little bit about yourself?
CM: I have to confess, I’m not so good at talking
about myself. It’s much easier for me to
talk about my characters (or my family or my pets or my foster pets). So maybe that sums me up – I write for
Sourcebooks, Harlequin and Berkley. I’m
a military wife, mom of four, and spend most of my spare time volunteering at
my local Humane Society.
2. Your new book is
called Free Fall; what's it about?
CM: FREE FALL is book 4 in my ”Elite Force”
series featuring Air Force pararescuemen.
Folks have been asking for Jose ”Cuervo” James’ story and this is it! Here’s the official story blurb:
Pararescueman Jose
“Cuervo” James is committed to his job and not much else. He thought nothing
could change that, not even sexy, smart Interpol agent Stella Carson. Their
affair burns hot and fast, but family is everything to Stella, and Jose just
can’t go there. His family demons are too deep, too tenacious.
The demands of their work
make it easy to stay away from each other, until a fateful mission deep in the
African jungle unexpectedly throws them together. With Stella’s life on the line,
uncovering the truth about Jose’s fears and her tragic past might destroy the
spark between them, or gain them a second chance at passion and forever…
3. What is your
inspiration behind this romantic suspense series?
CM: My husband served in
the Air Force for over 20 years. His
service and that of so many of our friends offers endless inspiration for
stories.
4. You have written lots
of other books. What is a typical day at your house like? Write, write and
write?
CM: LOL! I’m a type A, on-the-go-person. My day is a hodge podge of write, tend to
foster puppies, brainstorm with my critique partner Joanne Rock while I load
the crockpot, write, toss in a load of laundry, proof edits, run errands,
write, help kids with homework, write, get ready for supper and realize I
forgot to plug in the crockpot, order pizza, crash w/my family in front of the
TV w/pizza while I read a writing contest entry.... Sleep.
Repeat. I love my life!
5. What is coming next
from you?
CM: Coming out next
month/April, look for book 3 in my ”Alpha Brotherhood” series – PLAYING FOR
KEEPS, Harlequin Desire.
6. And now a tough one,
name the best book ever written (in your opinon) ;)
CM: Wow, tough one
doesn’t even begin to sum up that question!
I have favorites in all genres – it’s like comparing apples and
oranges! How about this? Since we’re talking about military romantic
suspense novels, I’ll pick my favorite military romantic supsense – that would
be Suzanne Brockmann’s UNSUNG HERO. I do
have a lot of favorites and enjoy chatting with readers. I can be found online just about every day

Jose "Cuervo" James is the guy they call for the most dangerous

Interpol agent Stella Carson. They'd once had an affair that burned hot and
