We are lucky enough today to have Lisa Suzanne with us in the Interview Hot seat, so let's go find out a little about her.
Hi Lisa
Tell us a little about yourself.
In addition to being an author, I also
teach high school English full time. I have published five books and I’m part
of two anthologies. Here’s a little about each of my novels:
How He Really
Feels (He Feels, Book 1)
Julianne and her boss embark on a sexy affair that’s
everything Julianne ever dreamed of... except she can’t tell anyone about it
due to the company’s strict “No Dating” clause. What will happen if anyone
finds out about their secret relationship? And how will Travis, her lifelong
best friend, react when Julianne begins a relationship with someone who isn’t
him?
What He Really
Feels (He Feels, Book 2)
Will Travis ever figure out What He Really Feels, or
will he be stuck on his first love forever? Will he find his happily ever
after?
Since He Really
Feels (He Feels, Book 3)
Julianne and Nick know they should form a united
front, but knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different
things. Will Travis’s presence in their life pull them together or push them
apart? Find out in the passionate and emotional concluding book of the He Feels
Trilogy.
Separation
Anxiety
We all get one true love in our lives, and it’s up
to us to find it. Fate will act and try to push us together, but ultimately
it’s up to us to recognize who that one person is when he’s standing in front
of us. If only my husband would stop getting in the
way of the man with whom I was meant to be.
Side Effects
She isn’t interested in commitment. She doesn’t want
a relationship. The confident Quinn is never nervous around men, so what is it
about preppy Reed Porter that has her questioning everything? And what will be
the side effects of attempting to juggle two men at the same time?
How did you become a writer, and did you always want to write?
I have written since probably high school,
back when I used to write my stories on yellow legal pads (I still have some of
them). I recall a creative writing class that stuck with me, and I remember
writing stories that weren’t assignments for class. I didn’t really consider
publishing, but every day when I got home from work, I would write for a few
hours as a way to relax. Then one day in 2012 I decided to get over my insecurities,
and I shared one of my stories with my husband, and soon after he happened to
hear a podcast about self-publishing. I decided to give it a try in May 2013,
and I’ve never looked back!
How do you hope your readers react to the stories you write?
My favorite thing to hear is when readers
loved one of my books so much that they couldn’t put it down. I always hope
that I keep readers engaged in the story and that they can take something from
it, whether it’s hope for their own happy ending or happiness at the story’s
end.
What responses to your writing have affected you the most and why?
I had a few people message me after I
released Separation Anxiety who told me that they could really relate to the
book because they were going through a divorce of their own. To hear that my
story helped them get through a hard time in their lives meant so much to me.
Other than writing great stories, what other goals do you have for your
life?
Apart from anything to do with writing,
someday I’d like to have kids.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Write. I don’t have a whole lot of spare
time anymore since I teach all day and write and market books all night. I like
to hang out with my husband and we love to take our dog for long walks.
What can you tell us about your latest works?
I’m working on spinoff of Side Effects.
It’s about Quinn’s brother, Grant. This will be told from the male perspective,
and it’s been a lot of fun to write so far!
What stories can your fans expect from you in the days ahead?
Lots more stories! I have another trilogy
already written, but I need to go back through it because I’ve had some ideas
for changing the story. I have a few other standalone ideas, and another series
idea. There’s a lot more coming down the road from me!
What would you like to say to your fans in New Zealand and others
worldwide?
Thank you for reading! Thank you especially
to those of you who leave reviews. They are so important to authors and we really
appreciate it.
Do you have any parting words?
