The Super Talented Ciara Gold
Welcome Ciara, and thank you for submitting yourself. (Anybody know where the handcuffs went?). Just kidding. Tell us about yourself.
Hmmm, handcuffs, eh? You already have me blushing. But thank you so much for letting me be your guest. So who am I really? I’m a native Texan with the twang to prove it. I consider myself well rounded (in more ways than one) with an interest in dance, music, visual arts, sailing, camping, sewing, gardening, and of course, writing. I am also blessed with two wonderful children. Ah, the teenage years. There is never a dull moment at our house.
I am not looking forward to my kids teen years. Aside from the volatile emotions, it means they’re growing up. 
You’ve got quite a few books under you belt. Which is your favorite?
My favorite is the one that keeps me up at night or rather the one I’m working on right now. Hubby laughs. I never have to worry about another woman with him because his boat is the other woman. And of course, he never worries about me, because my other men are all in my dreams. I do have a deep fondness for the first book I wrote, Sarah’s Brass Token.
Here’s the question I love most. What is the embarrassing scene you ever wrote, the one that made you blush and squirm, but that just had to be included.
I had a scene in Eliza’s Copper Penny that I had to rewrite 6 times. He’s wounded and bedridden. To make him comfortable, she offers to give him a sponge bath. He baits her, amused of course. She’s a spinster and has a lot of bottled up mothering instincts, so when she tries to put baby powder on him, (you can see where this is going and of course my telling of it, doesn’t do the scene justice) he comes unglued.
What’s the nicest review you ever got?
Trevas from eBookGuru.org blew me away with his glowing review. Here’s a snippet; I’ve read and reviewed some books from big name authors in the past couple months. If you read through my reviews, I’ve posted my thoughts on books from the likes of Terry Brooks, George R.R. Martin, and Mercedes Lackey. Here’s the thing though – Ciara Gold’s Celestial Dragon blows all of them away as far as reading enjoyment is concerned.
You must be working on something new, do tell.
I am elated to report that I just finished the sequel to On the Silver Edge of Time. I made a goal to do so before school started and I went back to work on August 14. I confess I had to have the weekend, but I was determined. I still have to polish so if you see me out and about with tarnished fingers, you’ll know why. But man, Torin, the hero literally kept me awake nights. For those that haven’t read On the Silver Edge of Time, it’s a Viking Time travel.
Now for the dream part of the interview. When you get rich and famous, where will you vacation for six months being served hand and foot?
A castle somewhere near Waterford, Ireland. I did a wee bit of research last night on the area for my book and instantly fell in love. I’ve always wanted to go to Ireland.
When you walk into a bakery, what concoction makes you slobber on the display case and fork out way too much money for blissful, oral enjoyment?
Chocolate silk pie. I love, crave anything with chocolate and I especially love chocolate with a creamy texture. Okay, mouth is watering now. Might need to make a midnight run.
I ask everyone this, because I like to know what turns you on?
A)Husband taking off his shirt
B)Husband doing the housework.
C)Husband taking off with the kids for the day
D) Curling up with a hot book ;P
It’s a tie between A and D. I’m lucky because he does about 50% of the housework or more, but I love watching him work in the garage. He has a way of making the most ratty jeans look sexy. And of course, curling up with the right romance is always a nice way to get the imagination revved up.
And finally, if you had a super fan standing in front of you right now, clutching their e-reader loaded with your book, eyes shining bright, what would you say to them?
“Oh my gosh, is that a Ciara Gold you’re reading? Which one is your fave? Really? If I could make it happen, would you like to meet her?” Actually, I’d be saying all that in my head, but in reality, I’d be very subtle about it. LOL.

Who’s it gonna be?
Big Brother is now down to 4 and at this point I think I’m gunning for Lane to win even though Brittany did more to get where she is. My problem with Britt though is how mean she’s been about some contestants. Some of her insults really crossed the line and were really not necessary as well as unspeakably nasty. And she’s still throwing them around. Has she not realized the people she’s bad mouthing are the jury who’s gonna decide who gets the half million?
As for Hayden and Enzo… Hayden needs a haircut. Sorry, but he’s looking more and more like cousin It. I know he’s won HOH twice, but his gameplay has been lacklustre. Enzo has talked alot but really, what has he done other than meow? Lane actually only recently started to play, but the way he actually managed to bring two separate alliances with him to the final four is smooth. He slid that one under everyones radar and stands the best chance of making it to final two.
Now if Brit wins HOH, Lane is guaranteed. If Enzo or Hayden win, it could get dicey, because Brit and Lane will go up against each other on the block and the Brigade might just toss Lane then. I’ll be avidly watching Sunday for HOH results (or I might cheat and go onto the BB website for a sneak peek).
So who’s your favorite at this point?
And might I say in closing, I WANT THE JURY HOUSE! Oh my god, that place is gorgeous and the swimming pool is to die for.

Vote now or go to Hell!
I’m not joking. Muriel here, and for those who don’t know me, I am a princess of Hell. That’s right, Satan’s very own daughter. In case you hadn’t heard, my story of how I finally found my man and kicked some serious demon ass recently came out and is up for cover and book of the month at Happily Ever After. I expect all who read this–and even those who didn’t–to hustle their asses over and vote for Lucifer’s Daughter. It’s not hard to spot it, just look for the hottest cover. If you do I’ll be sure to put in a good word for you with my daddy.

Dee Julian Historical Romance Author
Welcome Dee, and thank you for sitting down and submitting to <cough>torture. LOL.
Hi Eve! Thank you for having me.
We want to know, what makes you tick?
A variety of things, really, and not necessarily the same thing each day. When it comes to reading, or writing, I love getting lost in a heart-pounding romance with the happily ever after ending. The next day I might enjoy being scared silly by a “can’t put it down” paranormal. By afternoon, you might find me at the movies watching the latest romantic comedy. There is no logical pattern I follow, which is strange because I’m a Virgo.
I love that you write historicals. Tell us about your debut novel, The Macgregor’s Daughter.
Since I’m terrible with synopsis, I’ll give you the blurb:
In 1776 England, American born Anadreya Macgregor is branded a spy by the arrogant Marquis of Canderlay. Despite her pleas of innocence, he refuses to listen and has her imprisoned. Aided by the Scottish father she never knew, Dreya escapes to Dragon’s Breath Castle.
Five years later, the laird is missing and a badly injured Frenchman washes ashore. Dreya is wary of the blind and amnesic man, though something about him is hauntingly familiar. Is he an ally or a ruthless mercenary who stumbled upon her father’s smuggling activities?
The stranger’s vision and memory gradually return, and Dreya discovers her fate and the continued existence of her clan might very well be in his hands. As the web of deception binding them together unravels, both are in danger of losing everything. Including their hearts.
Are you ready for the question I love most? What is the embarrassing scene you ever wrote, the one that made you blush and squirm, but that just had to be included.
I write sweet/lightly sensual romance, so I really can’t think of any scene that actually embarrassed me as I was writing it. Still, The Macgregor’s Daughter has a great deal of sexual tension, and I might find myself slightly uncomfortable if my grown son or daughter read any of those scenes.
Naughty mommy writings, lol. I hear you. My children will never be allowed to read my work, even when they’re old.
I read on your site that your second book, Promise Me, has been contracted. Tell us about it.
Sure, I’d love to.
After a hasty promise to her dying fiancé jeopardizes the future of his illegitimate child, Lady Leah Sheridan vows to make amends for the gentleman’s lack of honor by personally seeing to his son’s financial needs. But the boy’s heartless mother abandons him, and Leah finds herself nearing a disastrous scandal. To matters worse, her fiancé’s older brother returns to England demanding answers she swore never to divulge.
When the Duke of Chase meets the woman his deceased brother had intended to wed, he does not expect to be captivated by the lady’s beauty or overwhelmed by desire. As he fights falling victim to both, he soon suspects she is hiding a secret.
Will Leah break her promise and confide in the only man who can keep her safe?
What’s next on the agenda for you? Any more books in the works?
I’m not sure if I’ll stay with historicals or cross over to another genre. I think I get bored too often and too easily. I’ve enjoyed writing historical romance, but it’s been very demanding on my time and energy.
Now for the dream part of the interview. You’re rich and famous. Do you splurge and get a live-in housekeeper, butler or chauffeur?
Definitely a housekeeper!
I hear you! I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t have a secret indulgence. What’s yours?
Chocolate, of course!
I ask everyone this, because I like to know. What turns you on?
A)Husband taking off his shirt
B)Husband doing the housework.
C)Husband taking off with the kids for the day
D) Curling up with a hot book ;P
Hmm, if you don’t mind, I think I’ll add Option E…Hubby in the captain’s seat of his deck boat with his Tennessee Titan’s cap flipped around backward and a satisfied smile on his tanned face as he races through the waves. I love a man in charge!
What is a fabulous answer! And finally, if you had a super fan standing in front of your right now, clutching their e-reader loaded with your book, eyes shining bright, what would you say to them?
I would be awed…and sincerely thank him or her for purchasing my book. And thank you, Eve! It’s been a pleasure chatting with you today!
