3 GOOD QUESTIONS with Author LAURA TAYLOR
NFE: What book or books kept you up all night reading? And Why?
LAURA TAYLOR: Most recently? Barry Eisler's THE DETACHMENT. I live a double life as a veteran women's fiction author and as a veteran freelance editor. In my editorial practice, I work primarily (and confidentially) with international thriller writers, both established and about-to-debut authors. I'm also a dedicated thriller reader. THE DETACHMENT is the most recent book from Barry Eisler for his John Rain series, and it did not disappoint! What sets the novel apart for me is that the author exceeded the high standard he established in previous books in the series in his first foray into the ranks of indie book writers, having declined a lucrative book contract from a traditional publisher with whom he had an established relationship. This reader will remain faithful to Barry Eisler, because he fully grasps and embraces his responsibilities to his readers. He is a gifted storyteller who excels at characterization, story tension, and layered personal and situational conflict. Barry Eisler also possesses a gift for conveying a viscerally satisfying, albeit pragmatic, code of honor that resonates in the life and death decisions made within the framework of each one of his books.
NFE: Would this book (Intimate Strangers) keep you up all night if you hadn’t written it? And Why?
LAURA TAYLOR: In a nutshell, yes! Like Barry Eisler and most other writers, I endeavor to pen a tale in such a compelling manner that readers cannot set aside the book until they reach the final sentence of the story. When I wrote Intimate Strangers, I deliberately created an emotionally intense and sensual novel for my established global audience of romance readers. Recognition of my name by romance readers conveys an implicit promise that I will meet their expectations of a sensual, dramatic, and well-crafted story with a happily-ever-after conclusion. With 22 published books to my credit, you can probably tell that I take quite seriously my responsibilities to my readers. The ultimate reward, aside from being able to indulge my own creative passion, occurs when romance readers praise my books and eagerly await the next one.
NFE: Give us some links where we can find out more about you? (See, isn’t this an easy Interview?)
LAURA TAYLOR: Easiest ever. Thanks. And I love to hear from readers. You can reach me on Twitter @AuthorLTaylor
Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.
"...A believable and lively world filled with even more lively, engaging characters. The style is very distinct with a genuinely witty, dynamic prose that is very easy to read" --SFBook.com
