So, KyAnn, did you
learn anything from writing your book and what was it?
I think I
learned to trust myself as a writer. I know the roles in this story aren’t
typical for a hero, heroine or antagonist. Landon is a felon, convicted of
crimes that in real life, I think I would judge his character more harshly than
he deserved. He’s a great hero and in writing the story, I fell in love with
him, too. At times I felt sorry for Gretchen but she does things, knowing she’s
harming someone she’s supposed to care about. She’s a great antagonist but I
did have sympathy for her. And Crystal is a great girl that has made bad
relationship choices in the past. Is Landon going to be another one?
Can you share
a favorite passage from the book?
“What’s
wrong?”
“Nothing…everything.
You, me, and what I’ve never wanted and now what I might never have. Nothing
makes sense in my head, but what I feel inside my heart does.” Still snuggled
on the couch, she rolled onto her stomach, and placed her palms one over the
other on top of his chest. “Let’s go to bed.”
Landon’s
heart stopped beating. At least it felt like everything inside him ceased for a
moment as her words lingered in the silence between them.
He gently
framed her face with his hands and brought her lips to his. Maybe he was a
bastard. He took everything she offered.
Would you
like to be friends with the main character?
It’s
strange, and I think you can agree, I think most writers would agree, we are
friends with our characters. We spend so much time with them while writing,
listening to their thoughts in our heads, feeling what they feel, that for the
time we are writing their story, they could be real. I think that’s why it’s
hard for authors to end stories, say goodbye to characters, and meet new
friends in the next story. Writers spend a lot of time alone, but for most of
us, I don’t think we ever feel lonely. There is always a character to spend
time with.
If you were
a tool, what would people use you for?
I’m a
widget. I’ve told my husband that before. A Widget is an unnamed thing - a
little device or mechanism, especially one whose name is unknown or forgotten.
So either I’m a useless tool, or as I like to think, I just haven’t figured out
my purpose.
Thank you so
much for having me today.
Thanks for being here, KyAnn. It's been great!

Betrayed Vows:
Life on the
outside is not as Landon Booker expected. But how can he make a future for
himself beyond prison walls when the woman who is supposed to love him wants to
see him sent back to the penitentiary.
Crystal
Evans isn’t a home wrecker. Landon needs a friend…someone who can help protect
him from his conspiring wife. Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan.
Yet vows
betrayed leave all three with something to lose—Crystal her heart, Landon his
freedom, and Gretchen the life she had before.
To Purchase
Excerpt:
“Are you
fucking crazy?”
She put her
hand over her heart to stop the rapid beating. “Are you going to get the steaks
on the grill because everyone is here?”
“The steaks
can wait. Who is this guy? What in the hell are you doing? I thought you had
better sense. Use your head, Crystal. That’s why God gave it to you.”
She spun
away. “I’m following my heart. Stay out of it, Ross.”
“I can’t.”
He caught her by the arm before she could walk away.
“Trust me.
If he was in a real marriage, I’d back way up.”
Ross eased
the pressure on her arm. “You know where this will lead. I might’ve been young,
but I remember how much Glen hurt you.”
“I was
eighteen and naïve. Glen was thirty-five with three kids. Big difference. See
for yourself. Get to know Lanny, and watch the way he is with his wife. Better
yet, watch the way she is with him. They aren’t even sleeping together. They
never have.”
Ross’s snort
sounded an awful lot like bullshit.
She followed
him toward the kitchen. “Promise you won’t say anything.”
“I’ll
reserve my decision until the end of the night.”
“I’m not
stupid. I’m in love.”
“I heard
everything. And I wasn’t pouting.” He rubbed his hand over her head messing up
her hair. “You aren’t the only one looking for a love life. I’ve got a lady
friend. Nothing serious. And,” he said, a smile curling his lips. “My
constitution isn’t the only thing I keep stiff.”
“I’m your
sister. You shouldn’t talk to me about sex.” She walked ahead of him down the
hall. “Put the steaks on the grill or I’ll take over.”
“Stay away
from my meat!”
