What
is something you’ve lied about?
I didn’t realize how much I was lying
to a friend until I found myself growing more and more uncomfortable whenever I
was with her. We just weren’t a good fit. She liked to complain about the
school our kids attended, and then she’d apologize for being so focused on the
negatives. I told her I didn’t mind. I was willing to listen to her, but her
negativity began to weigh me down. It was darned difficult to come up with a
way to tell her that I didn’t want to hear bad stuff all the time. I tried to
steer the conversation to happier topics, but she always seemed to drift back
to the stuff that bothered her.
Eventually, I gently stepped away from that
relationship. It was difficult to do, because close friends are tough to come
by, but it was the right thing to do. Since then, I’ve felt a lot happier.
Who
is the last person you hugged?
I hugged my daughter this afternoon
when she came home from school. She’s a teen, so hugs are a rare and wonderful
thing.
Whenever I hug someone I love, I take a
big whiff of them. Their shampoo, the scent of their skin, the scent of wind
and school that clings to their clothes.
My dog is much easier to catch for a
hug, but I usually end up covered in hair after those encounters. (My dog is a
Sheltie. In other words, my dog is 10% bone and 90% fur.) Whenever I hug my
dog, she smells like corn chips and tennis balls.
What
are you reading now?
I am reading MISTRESS OF THE VATICAN by
Eleanor Herman. It’s an entertaining history book about the Vatican in the 16th
century. I tend to gravitate to historical non-fiction when I’m looking for
things to read at night. If I’m reading a compelling fiction novel, it’s
difficult to put the book down. So in the interest of getting a good night’s sleep,
I often read non-fiction right before bed.
I’ll read romance during the day. If I
know I’m going to need to entertain myself for a chunk of time, I know a
romance will keep me happy. My favorite romances contain a lot of drama,
emotion, and action. The most recent romance that I read was: THE HATING GAME,
by Sally Thorne. It. Was. Fantastic! Unfortunately, it was her very first
novel. So, I have to wait until her 2nd book is released. I can’t
wait!!
I also love anything by Kristen
Callihan. She is amazing. I’ve read my copy of Shadowdance five times over the
past six months. She writes paranormal and contemporary, and I’m amazed at how
well she does both.
Historical romance is one of my
favorite genres, and I’m looking for suggestions. Got any good ones?
How
do you come up with the titles to your books?
I try to pick phrases that my
characters say or think. For instance, in ANYTHING YOU ASK, the hero would
often say, “Anything you ask” when the heroine asked him for something. In RUN
TO HER, the hero admits that he’s been running to her every since they’ve met,
but she’s always been too fast to catch…until one lie changes everything.

your dream cast for your book.
Wladimir Klitschko (real-life heavyweight
professional boxer) would play my hero. Wlad is a huge guy with a rugged,
Slavic face. Whenever I think of my hero, I think of Wlad. A real tough-looking
guy. Hayden Panettiere (the pretty blonde American actress) would play the
heroine, who is an accountant. She doesn’t appear to have much in common with
the hero until she realizes she might be the only one who truly understands the
hero’s ugly past.
AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
Lynn
Kellan writes contemporary romance about strong men who have a weakness for
smart women. She believes men and women aren't that different, because everyone
wants to be with someone who will empty the dishwasher. To prepare for her
career as a romance author, she fell in love with bad boys, burly athletes,
battle-hardened Marines…and married a chemist. Lynn has won numerous writing
contests and served two terms as President of her local Romance Writers of
America chapter, but she feels a true sense of accomplishment whenever she
doesn't embarrass her teenaged kids.
For
love. For funny. For ever.
