AUTHOR UPDATE
FEATURED AUTHOR: CHLOE QUINN
I got the chance to chat with the amazingly talented and sweet Romance Suspense Author CHLOE QUINN this week. It was privilege to have a sit down with her and ask her some more questions. Here is what she said…
Welcome back Chloe. We spoke to you before, can you update us on WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH YOU NOW?
I have won several cool awards, I have been more involved with Facebook. I have actually started my newsletter. A quick thank you to everyone that has subscribed. I also have done several interviews, released more books, and have been involved with other cool projects and giveaways!
Can you please refresh us, WHAT GENRE DO YOU WRITE and what are the TITLES OF YOUR BOOKS?
Pretty much contemporary romance. I’ve been known to write mysteries, but mostly romance. I also have a few paranormal romances in the works. One that I am working on deals with ghosts. It was inspired to do it when I was doing my research on Savory Aphrodisiac for the Calico moments.
And my books are LOST…FOUND (penned under A. Everett), EXPOSED PRACTICES (penned under A. Everett), SAVORY APHRODISIAC, DAPHNE, and PASSION IN SEASON.
What are the CURRENT BOOKS YOU ARE WRITING?
I am putting the finishing touches on BROKEN ETIQUETTE (Caine Series) and OPEN DOOR POLICY (4 Degrees of Chloe Series). But you won’t see those until the series is finished.

I am putting the finishing touches on BROKEN ETIQUETTE (Caine Series) and OPEN DOOR POLICY (4 Degrees of Chloe Series). But you won’t see those until the series is finished.
What TYPES OF ROMANCES do you write?
Ranges from sweet to erotic. Also too a touch of paranormal.
What is one of the MOST REWARDING ASPECTS OF WRITING?
When I finish a book and the idea is on the page. The idea that I have completed this story that was just an idea and it has actually come to life.
What’s your PROCESS OF SELECTING NAMES for characters?
I would have to say it varies. Lately it has been more along the lines of me picking a random or common name and as I write I see who the characters are and [from there] I pick and change their name to match their personality. If someone needs a basic name or a very unique, it is more of how they act in my story.
What is ONE BEHIND THE SCENES THING THAT HAPPENED WHILE WRITING one of your books?
For the most part, my book worlds are hooked across multiple series. Not in the story lines always, but just familiar people in town as you read them. So I’d have to say when I was [well into] writing SAVORY APHRODISIAC I noticed that a name of a character was wrong in Gidget, formally known in stores as EXPOSED PRACTICES, and I caught it too late. It was published with my publisher and in stores. I couldn’t change it. So, I had started the story of SAVORY APHRODISIAC one way and I ended up having to change a major character. I had to go through rewrites on SA because of that error. Which was actually funny. I ended up liking that character more. At the end of the day, it all worked out.

What is SOMETHING FUN THAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW?
I am a big music lover and I am getting acquainted with more updated songs. I am listening to the radio a lot now. I like to do that every now and again. I love music, so that. And I also co-host #FoodParty Tues hashtag game with Lexi Miles. It’s a lot of fun. So those are the things that I am doing.
I like doing that too! (Jacks)
What is ONE THING THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU Chloe?
I am a photographer and I like taking a bunch of pictures of my furbabies! Also, I love to cook. I like to try recipes that I find on Facebook and Pinterest! I even create my own recipes (#FoodParty Cookbook) and carry on family traditional recipes!

Any traces of YOUR PERSONALITY IN YOUR MAIN CHARACTER?
All the time! Even though they might be exaggerated off of a tiny piece of me and expanded to be a lot bigger (I blow up aspects of traits some good or bad) it is all a piece of me.
What is one of your FAVORITE GENRES TO READ?
Ohhh, I love reading romance. I love the genre and that’s why I write it. I am very picky as I write it too, I scrap it if I am not loving the story and would not read it myself.
Who is one of your FAVORITE CHARACTERS AND WHY?
Oh come on, that’s like picking a favorite child. (Giggles) I love all of my characters. They are all different and have their own unique things.
What is one thing that you want to say TO ANYONE THAT READS YOUR BOOKS?
First thank you for reading them. Also I take the thank you a step further. I like to connect all of the books in some way, and just as a way to say thank you to my readers, I put treats [of characters from other books] in the my books to hopefully make readers giggle and laugh when they read it and come across the familiar face of a fan favorite character unexpectedly in the pages of the current book. It’s kind of like having an Easter egg surprise, similar to those you see in the end of a movie, tucked inside the pages of my books. Something as an extra delight for my readers.
Chloe, please DESCRIBE YOUR BOOKS IN 5 WORDS. GO!
Sassy, Fun, Page Turners, Romantic, and They Stay With You
Okay time for the LIGHTENING ROUND, will you please answer the following?
Favorite food:
Chicken anything
Music you listen to why writing:
Pop Music or 80-90s and a lot of times love songs both happy and sad.
Last book/show watched:
Last book was, THE ORDER OF THE MOONLIGHT, Hawaii 5O.
Recent activity:
Went on a walk with my pups and hung out with a friend.
Thanks for answering those. Now time to answer a few more. Chloe, HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU RELEASE A BOOK?
The way I feel is satisfied, excited, and anxious! And anxious because it’s time for the next project!
What is ONE TIP you would like to share FOR ASPIRING AUTHORS?
If you really love to write, just write. It doesn’t matter what anyone else says or does. Yeah, maybe you need to develop it more, but just keep writing. And remember, everyone can’t write a story but if you have one inside and you want to put it on paper, then do it! Just keep writing!

WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU?
I am working on the Caine Family Series, working on my newsletter, and getting more interactive with the reader and writer community out there.
What are the names of YOUR UPCOMING RELEASES?
My upcoming release is BROKEN ETIQUETTE and OPEN DOOR POLICY. Both of those are Fire Romances, no suspense in these. But I have more suspense romance on the way. Also, I am going to be working on a suspense thriller that I am excited about. I guess I really want to push the limits on how I sleep at night. (haha) These are a bit creepy.
What should people EXPECT TO SEE FROM YOU IN THE FUTURE?
More romance, suspense romance, suspense thrillers, and suspense mysteries. There will be death in some. (Giggles) Also outside of writing, expect more interaction with everybody. I also am going to be working on my YouTube Channel as well. So you all can see a more personal side of me. So that you guys can get to know me even more.
ANY EVENTS you want to share that you will be appearing at in the near future?
I am going to be participating in the Winterviews 2017 hosted by KJ Harrowick. I also will be involved in a few more Takeovers and Giveaways. So please be on the lookout for those!
What are you MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO AT THE MOMENT?
Getting back to writing about the Caine Family. I am thrilled about being able to revisit Evie and Liam and continuing their chapter.
WHAT IS NEW AND EXCITING ABOUT THAT?
To see where they are now and what the next chapter will bring for them. They were the book that started it all!
Come on Chloe, ANY SPOILERS TO SHARE?
In this book Evie is pregnant, we also get to learn more about why Liam was glad to be done with his family drama, and we get to find out another piece of Liam’s past. That piece is going to cause a rift between him and Evie. So that’s going to be fun to write!
