Justin Rodale is the wealthy bastard son of the Duke of Chanceworth. He owns the most lucrative and luxurious gaming establishment and caters to London’s elite. Educated with the rest of the aristocrats, he knows all the rules by which Society lives, but he is beholden to no one.

Interview

Share 4 fun facts about yourself!

Well, I don't know how fun all these will be, but here you go: 

1. My husband and I met on-line

2. We built our family through foster-adoption

3. I would totally have a house full of cats if I could, but we only have 2

4. My fingernails are always painted. Always. 

Could you tell us a little bit about A Little Bit Sinful?

I think the back-cover blurb will do a better job than I can...

Do you have any rituals for when you’re writing?

I don't know that I'd consider them rituals. I have to be pretty flexible since I have a 2 & 4 year old at home with me. But I use my Bose earbuds a lot and listen to movie soundtracks to write, it helps me immerse in my writing world. 

Are there any songs that inspired A Little Bit Sinful?
"Arms" by Christina Perri was pretty inspiring. Though I'll say that if Clarissa had her own theme song, it would probably be "Reflection" from Mulan. :-)

Who would you cast as Justin and Clarissa, if A Little Bit Sinful was made into a movie?
I love this question because this is a crucial step in the writing process for me. I scour the internet looking for the precise picture that captures the essence of the character for me. It's not the actor, per se, but a specific image that works. 

Amanda Seyfried                                Johnny Depp 

Would you like to tell us what you’re working on now?
Yes, I'm currently working on Temptations of Anna Jacobs, the second book in my Dangerous Liaisons series. The first book, The Secrets of Mia Danvers releases in June and I'm so excited to share these stories with my readers. I've long been fascinated by Jack the Ripper - who isn't - and since I already write in the Victorian era it seemed there had to be a story there. Well, I found it and I just love the world and the characters and I hope all my readers will too. 

I also just finished up revising A Little Bit Scandalous the third and final book in my Forbidden Love series. It's about Roe, Justin's half-brother, and the woman that brings him to his knees. 

Thanks so much for stopping by The Rookie Romance Blog!
Thanks so much for having me! 

About the Author

I’m one of those writers who always knew that she wanted to be a writer. It took me a while, however, to figure out precisely what I wanted to write. Reading Kathleen Woodiwiss’ ”A Rose in Winter” sealed the deal for me and I've been reading and writing romance ever since. I should have known I was destined for this when my Barbies insisted on hosting elaborate masquerade parties, complete with stolen kisses in the moonlight.

I’m the youngest of three children, so of course I’m the favorite. I was raised in central Texas, in the beautiful Hill Country, right smack-dab between Austin and San Antonio. My parents were high school sweethearts and married a week after my mother graduated – they both needed their parents’ permission to marry since they were so young. So I blame them and their amazing marriage for the fact that I’m a hopeless romantic.

Somewhere along the line, I graduated from college with a degree in Sociology, only after completing an internship with none other than award-winning best-selling author, Pamela Morsi. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life and I learned more about the writing business than I could have hoped.

After college I worked a myriad of jobs: Computer Software Trainer, Recruiter, Administrative Assistant. But no matter what my day job, I come home to my real job and click, click, click away on my computer and get lost in my imaginary world where justice always prevails and the girl always gets her guy! It’s the coolest job in the world.

I’m married to the most amazingly supportive man. He’s so proud of my career, and loves to tell people, “My wife is a romance novelist.” We live in the Austin area, where my husband is a university professor. He’s ridiculously smart, but remains goofy enough to make me laugh every day. We’re the parents of two beautiful and precocious little girls who keep me quite busy during the day. We also have two very spoiled cats who are of no help at all when it comes to my writing, although they sometimes nap in the same room where I sit diligently working.

I've published seven historicals, all of which have received great reviews and a handful of them have won awards. I love to hear from readers, so feel free to send me an email, or you can find me online at The Sisterhood of the Jaunty Quills, or, Peanut Butter on the Keyboard, my newest blogging endeavor that’s all about writing moms or moms who write. You can also find me on my Facebook or my Facebook Author page and on Twitter. I’m everywhere!
