Welcome, Tanith. Please tell us about your current release.
When my heroine Tatum is part of a séance at a party, she finds herself being stalked by a demon in the form of a man she met there, Dante. Another partygoer, Zack, is there to protect her, and Tatum finds herself irresistibly drawn to him – but she soon discovers she has a supernatural power all of her own, and Zack is the man to bring it to the fore.

What inspired you to write this book?
I had never written an angel romance before and wanted to try a new take on the subject. Zack was a fascinating hero to work with and Tatum was great fun to develop from her beginnings as a hairstylist to the supernatural hunter she gradually becomes.

What exciting project are you working on next?
I’m working on the next story in my “Rock My World” series of rockstar romances, as well as the first story in a new series about heroines falling in love with actors. “Rock My World” has so many stories that I want to tell.

When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I first started writing in my teens, but I didn’t aim for publication until I was approaching 30 and having a brief “turning 30” panic. I didn’t truly consider myself a writer until the day I got the email offering me my first contract; fortunately I was on my way out to dinner at the time so we decided to celebrate by ordering a bottle of champagne.

Do you write full-time? If so, what’s your workday like? If not, what do you do other than write and how do you find time to write?
I would love to be able to write full-time, but I have a day job – I’m a debt advisor for a charity. I work from home most days, which means I can write in my lunch break and I do all my prep work in the evenings.

What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
Many people say that writers can do their job in their pajamas, but I’ve learned that I have to be fully dressed before I can write. I don’t know why, but I can’t get my writing head on while wearing a dressing gown.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Other than a writer, I wanted to be an actress. I still do love the theatre and the cinema and go whenever I can, but I realized at the age of 18 that I simply didn’t have the dedication to give up everything else to focus on an acting career.

Anything additional you want to share with the readers?
I’ve often been asked how I deal with writer’s block, and my answer to that is – get a cat! My two cats like to sit beside me as I write, and I find stroking them for a few minutes is a great way to make my brain relax and start moving again.
