EXCERPT
Trace could see countless emotions play
across the girl’s heart-shaped face, but the one that immobilized him was the
instant attraction he’d seen in her alarmed gaze. Though she tried to hide it
with indifference, for some reason it had Trace rethinking his next move.
“Ready?” he asked, holding his hand out
to her, effectively breaking the spell he’d held over her.
She held her shirt close to her chest
and shook her head. “Look—”
Trace smiled as she tried to loosen the
effects of the pain medicine.
“I’m not going anywhere with you, and as
soon as Officer Flores comes back, I’m going to explain to her that you are
some loon from the streets that’s trying to get me to join some Kool-Aid
drinking cult and have her arrest your crazy butt.” She pointed her finger at
him and opened her mouth to speak again.
Before she could, Trace moved. He had
had every intention of taking the girl and doing the job that he’d been trained
to do, but as soon as he looked into her cinnamon gaze, he closed the space
between them and pulled her tightly into his arms. Her small, warm frame
trembled.
“Shh… I am not going to hurt you.” He’d
never said that to a person before, but to her, it felt so damned true. He
hoped it was simply meant to calm her until his head was back on the job and he
would actually be able to carry out his orders.
Her eyes sparkled with unshed tears as
her spine stiffened and she glared up at him. “Yes, you are. That’s why you
came.” Her lips trembled with fear.
Trace placed one open palm on her back
and the other on her hip, locking her in place. “And why do you say that?”
Trace made the mistake of looking down
into her cinnamon gaze. She was young, but he could tell that she’d been
through some things and come out on top. He wondered what price she’d paid in
order to escape what life had thrown at her.
Trace realized how unfair her situation
was. The sadness in her eyes, the way she held herself, and the spunk that she
had thrown at him earlier made him smile inwardly. She was a woman that
deserved a second chance.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW
Do you or would you ever use a pen name?
There is another author named Kristen
Iversen and I actually thought of using a pen name when I first published Few
Are Angels , but then I figured my middle name was easy to remember.
Have you ever suffered from a
"writer's block"? What did you do to get past the "block"?
YES! I have. It’s annoying to have so
many ideas bouncing around in my head that I get so overwhelmed and I don’t
know where to start. Normally, I just take a week off to let my brain settle
and then get right back to work.
What is the name of your latest book,
and if you had to summarise it in less than 20 words what would you say?
Running
in the Dark:
An assassin and a college student find
themselves running from in the dark while searching for the truth.
Sinners
in the Dark:
An exiled prince and an orphaned teen
find solace in one another while evading his traitorous brother.
Would you ever ask a reviewer to change
their review if it was not all positive about your book/books?
No. Not everyone is going to like my
books and that is something I’ll just have to learn to live with. A few bad
reviews won’t make or break any author. It’s the constant bullying and bashing
that I have an issue with. Luckily, EVERY reviewer I’ve worked with is awesome
and honest.
How do you market/promote your books?
You will see me on Facebook &
Twitter on a daily basis chatting with fans!! I also invested in Photoshop, and
I make little promo ads in there. It’s fun, but also work!
How do you come up with the Title and
Cover Designs for your book/books? Who designed the Cover of your books?
The title is normally easy and it’s the
cover that is hard to decide what I want. Normally, I will tell Eden from Eden Crane Design what
feeling I want to cover the have and then point her in the direction of a photo
on Fotolia and we go from there. It’s
fun!! Probably the best part of the process is searching for hot guys to put on
the cover!
