AND NOW FOR THE JUICY DETAILS…..
ALEXA: How often to you get lost in a story?
ONCE UPON A TRUE LOVE’S KISS AUTHORS: All the time!

ALEXA: What is the first book you remember reading?
JULIE JOHNSTONE: When I think back to my younger years and the first book that I remember reading, or perhaps it's better to say the first book that left a huge impression on me, was Are You There God? It's Me Margaret. I know for a fact this was not the first book I ever read, but Judy Blume's character Margaret seemed to be going through things that I suppose I must have been at that time, and so when I recall reading early on in life, I don't recall my childhood stories, honestly, I recall stories that helped me as a young girl.

ALEXA: High Heels or Hiking Boots?
KATHERINE BONE: I prefer swashbuckling pirate boots!!!

ALEXA: What sound or noise do you love?
COLLETTE CAMERON: I grew up on the Northern Oregon coast and to this day, I love the roar of the ocean and the cry of seagulls. I live about 90 minutes from the beach now, and whenever I visit, a sense of sweet nostalgia always sweeps me.  

If I even hear seagulls on TV I get the same yearning. Fortunately, we have lots of family at the coast, and I make frequent trips to my hometown.  There's nothing line sipping a piping-hot pumpkin spice latte and walking on the beach early in the morning. 

ALEXA: What three things are, at this moment, in your heroine’s purse, satchel, reticule, weapons belt or amulet bag (whatever she carries)?
JILLIAN CHANTAL:

                1.    A hanky because you never know when you might have to wipe up some blood somewhere or bandage someone’s injury.

2.    An apple. For Socrates. Her horse is always ready for a treat.

3.    A pair of gloves for those moments when she has to behave like a proper lady which is not her favorite thing by far.
ALEXA: High Heels or Hiking Boots?
SAMANTHA GRACE: Hiking boots! No contest. I love the outdoors. 

ALEXA: What’s the first thing you do when you finish writing a book?
ALANNA LUCAS: Have a glass of red wine, then call my mom :-)

ALEXA: What’s your favorite fairy tale?
LAUREN SMITH: My favorite fairy tale is Sleeping Beauty. There's just something about the draw of a spell to make you prick your finger and then the dark fairy casting a spell of a 100 year sleep over the land while you wait for the price to ride through a forest of thorns to your tower *swoon.

ALEXA: How often to you get lost in a story? 
VICTORIA VANE: Every time I pick up a good book! I’ve loved books ever since I was a small child and have always been able to tune the entire world out whenever I read. Bombs could be falling on my head and I would never know if I’m reading a great book. I’m also a binge reader. Once I start, I don’t like to close the book until I finish. I have lost countless hours of sleep in my lifetime because I had to read “just one more page” or “one more chapter”!  It is my dearest wish for readers of my books to experience that same kind of immersion – to get totally caught up in my stories.

ALEXA’S GOTTA ASK: What books first drew you to romance?
