I am very happy to be having Ms Wellman over today :)
Red on the Moon
Lucas is hunting, not only for a serial
killer, but for his mate as well. With the arrival of his new partner
Toby, he may be able to solve both problems at once.
There is a murderer rampaging through
San Francisco, killing on every full moon while under the delusion he
is a werewolf. Little does this ruthless man know that the police
officer tasked with catching him is a true werewolf.
Lucas Donald has one of the best solve
rates in the state. He's not happy that he's been saddled with a new
partner on such an important case. That is until he meets Toby Devin,
who is possibly the most beautiful man he's ever seen. Together they
have to crack the case. Can they find happiness despite family and
job stresses?
Interview
Please
tell us a little about yourself
I'm
31 years old (I'm going to age backwards from now on) I'm married and
have a son (hubby and monster) I'm dyslexic but I've always found
myself to be very creative.
How
did you come up with the idea for your book?
Ideas
seem to pop into my head and bounce around trying to stick long
enough to be developed into a story, it's one of the reasons I always
have more than on story on the go at any one given time. This story
came from an idea of what it would be like to have a person who
wishes to be a werewolf hunted by an actual one.
When
did the characters first pop into your head?
I
was trying to decide what my characters would look like and the image
of Lucas appeared in my head swiftly followed by Toby. I knew before
I knew what the rest of the plot would be that they would be perfect
for each other.
Without
giving away any spoilers, was the story always straight forward for
you to write, or did it pop up any surprises along the way?
Oh
my goodness, my stories constantly surprise me. This one alone had an
ending that I didn't plan at all. But it fitted so well as it was
being written it was a happy surprise.
Where
do you like to write?
Anywhere
and everywhere, I'm a write a holic. I like to write by hand then
type it when I'm out and about or sometimes I'll take the computer to
bed with me and write when I can't sleep.
Do
you read a lot?
Constantly
Who
are some of your favorite authors?
Terry
Pratchett is my all-time favorite, but I have very eclectic taste
when it comes to books, I literally have thousands of them in actual
book form as well as e-books.
And
last but not least, have you any words of wisdom for aspiring writers
out there?
Don't
give up. Keep writing. Look at what the publisher you're submitting
to wants, read some other books they've published. If you get a
rejection ask if they can give you some pointers on why. Writing is a
huge learning curve and it's not easy, but with perseverance you can
do anything.
Excerpt
Making a snap decision Lucas followed
Toby into their office and closed the door.
"Perhaps you should stay here and
co-ordinate the operation with the Captain, or go to a different
area," Lucas suggested hopefully.
Toby crossed his arms and glared at
Lucas as if daring him to repeat himself. "How about you stay
here and I'll go without you?" he suggested.
"You're not going out there
without me," Lucas said angrily, crossing the room and getting
into Toby's personal space.
He smirked. "So what makes you
think I'll let you out there without me?"
"I, well, I... Damn it, Toby,"
Lucas virtually shouted in exasperation. "Why won't you back
down? What makes you so different?"
"Shut up and get out of my way.
We have a case to solve. I won't ever back down when I'm not the one
in the wrong and if you think I'm going to, then you're going to be
sorely disappointed."
That was the moment—the exact
second, that Lucas was sure, beyond reason—that Toby was intended
to be his mate. He couldn't hold back the growl of arousal that
escaped his lips moments before he brought them crashing down on
Toby's.
Toby pulled back gasping. "We are
not having sex in our office," he said firmly.
"Aww, but..." Lucas teased
pushing Toby into his chair.
"Anyone could walk in." Toby
panted.
Lucas could smell the arousal coursing
through his partner. It was intoxicating.
"I'm not going to fuck you. But I
need you too bad not to have you," Lucas walked over and locked
the door before returning and dropping to his knees between Toby's
legs.
"What exactly did you have in
mind?"
"I want to see if you taste as
good as you look," Lucas said, smirking at Toby's groan. "You
best keep quiet. You don't want anyone coming to see what all the
noise is about, do you?" Lucas undid Toby's trousers and
encouraged him to lift up enough for him to pull them down to his
knees.
Author Bio
Rhiannon has been
making up stories as long as she can remember. Admittedly they had
less sex in back then. She never goes anywhere without a pen and
notebook, and has often been known to stop mid conversation, get a
glazed look in her eye, and need to write down a line, or even an
entirely new plot line to add to her ever growing 'to do' pile.
Rhiannon's approach
to writing, and life, is best described by the following conversation
with her very understanding, and often bemused husband.
"You got bit by
the plot bunny again didn't you?"
"Um maybe"
"Small bunny or
big one?"
"It was a tiger
in a cunning disguise."
When she's not
writing she has a full time job and a family who she loves very much,
she's very grateful for all the wonderful things in her life and
hopes to keep writing for a long time. Working on her books is
Rhiannon's escapism, she can lose herself in different worlds and
situations, if for no other reason that’s the she will write for as
long as she is able to hold a pen and paper and type on her ever
present laptop.
So far Rhiannon has
been published with Breathless Press three times, and plans to stay
with them as long as she can feeling she's found a home with them and
is quite happy to stay there in the company of like-minded people.

As Rhiannon likes to
talk quite a lot she set up a page on face book where people can come
and get information as it happens. She will respond to all messages
sent to her, currently the page only has a little over 100 likes, but
considering the short time she has had the page Rhiannon is thrilled
with the response she's gotten.

She also has a blog,
that’s updated as often as she can think of witty and interesting
things to say, which is never as often as she'd like.
