Q. How many books have you written to date?
A. I have 7 published titles to date. 3 in the adult paranormal romance category:
Cry Wolf, book one of the Cry Wolf Series, a wolf shape shifter series;
Courting the Darkness, a vampire/shape shifter series, book one of the
Courting the Darkness Saga, and Courting the Darkness Saga: Dangerous, book
 
2. I have a young adult historical romance, Sweet Rebellion, and 3 books in
the young adult shape shifter/witchcraft series Wickford High.

Q. Can you tell us a little about yourself?
A. My stories are more interesting than I am. I’m a college graduate, although my degree is in business management, not writing. I didn’t get the writing bug until a few years after graduating college. LOL I’ve been an author for about five years. I fell in love with the book industry with the release of my
first book, Wickford High: The Revelation. I loved the field so much that when I lost my job in 2011 I took my 401k and opened World Castle Publishing. I’ve not looked back since. I have over 100 great authors and I love helping others do what I love to do: write and publish fantastic stories.

Q. Who/what inspired you to write your first book?
A. It wasn’t a who so much as a what. I’ve always been an avid reader. My love for the written word started when I was twelve. Back then there wasn’t a young adult category. My favorite then was romance which would now be considered contemporary. My love has moved more to the paranormal.
About five years ago I had a very vivid dream and when I woke up I had a strong desire to put it to paper. I really didn’t know where to begin so I wrote down the outline with pen and paper and walked away from it. It didn’t end there though, the story kept nagging at me and I kept passing that paper and staring at it. The book was then titled Desire Everlasting and was released under that title. I wrote the book in six weeks. The original length was 105,000 words, but being my first book I rewrote it about nine times before it was truly released. It took a while before I was satisfied with the story. Before this story was released I had release two books in the Wickford High series and
Courting the Darkness. Because this book is young adult due to the ages of the characters I later decided to change the title to Sweet Rebellion.

Q. Which of the books you have written is your favourite? Why does this book
stand out from the rest?
A. I’d have to say that the last written, Cry Wolf, is my favorite. A writer grows with each book and with each edit and I feel like Cry Wolf is sexier and hotter than any book I’ve written to date.

Q. What genre have you written?
A.Young adult historical romance, young adult paranormal romance, adult
paranormal romance, and adult paranormal/erotic romance.

Q. Have you thought about trying to write another genre? If so, which genre and why?
A. I doubt that I’ll ever write out of the romance genre. I might later try erotic romance without the paranormal, but no books have been planned to date.

Q. How much research do you put into writing your books?
A. When I wrote Desire Everlasting/Sweet Rebellion I did a ton of research. The book is as accurate as I could get it for the Civil War era. The others since they are more fantasy I just researched the cities where the books take place. Sevierville, TN for Courting the Darkness, Dangerous is New Orleans, and Cry Wolf is in Chicago.

Q. What is the biggest obstacles you have faced in your journey as an author?
A. Keeping my muse focused and combatting writers block.

Q. Are you currently working on any new projects? Can you tell us a little about it?
A. Yes, right now I’m in the middle of two books. I’m writing Giovanni which is the sequel to Cry Wolf. The books following Cry Wolf in that series are about their children and their new loves. All the original characters are in the stories so the reader can keep up with the original characters. The books following Cry Wolf are: Giovanni, Nico, and Leonardo. All the books in this series are paranormal/erotic romances. The other book I’m in the middle of is a brand new series The Dark Wolf Series. The name of this book is Dark Wolf: Hunted. This story is about a skinwalker, Aaron Wolf. He’s a Navajo Indian and a skinwalker. The heroine of the story is Nikki, her parents and coven were killed by a pack of werewolves. Her quest for revenge leads her to Aaron. This
book is also a paranormal/erotic romance.

Q. How can readers get in contact with you or find out more about your books?
A. My website is karenfullerauthor.webbs.com and I can also be found at
worldcastlepublishing.com.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW~ LORI WORLEY



DAY 23


Today is DAY 23 of our Author Spotlight/Giveaways. Today we are featuring Author Lori Worley.
Please check out our interview and book information for Rochelle.


AUTHOR INTERVIEW
Lori Worley
1.    Lori, how long have your been an author?
I have been an author for a year this December.

2.    What was the first book you published?
                                  The first book I published was The Mermaid’s Lament. It was a literary fiction novel that was dark and deconstructed elements of a mermaid fairytale.
 
3.    Can you tell us a little about yourself? 
                                    I am a mother of two from Southern California. I write in multiple genres that incluce Lit.  Fiction, Contemporary Romance, and I am working on a YA. I have always been an avid reader and a writer. My greatest loves are the ocean, Hemingway, Green Day, Thai food, and concerts. I detest excessive heat, and the band Journey.
 
4.    Have you always known you wanted to be an author?
      Despite it sounding terribly cliché I did always know I wanted to a writer. I would fill composition books, napkins, and even wrote on my shoes when I was younger.  

5.    Who/what inspired you to write your first book?
I was inspired to write my first book while watching The Little Mermaid with my daughters. We were talking about what we loved and I said everything except I couldn’t wrap my mind around giving up the ocean.

6.    Can you tell us a little about your books? Where are they sold?(Amazon, B&N, etc).
                                                 My first novel The Mermaid’s Lament is a story about the struggle of a mermaid thrust from the sea; a freak amongst what is essentially an island port freak show. It’s my version of the human struggle from the perspective of this cast out mermaid left disfigured and the human man who left broken who finds her. Her character is fighting for herself and his character is fighting for his own soul. It is currently only being sold on Amazon as part of both KDP Select and the KDP Unlimited program.

My other novel, Something Like That, is a contemporary romance about two people who were not dealt the easiest life coming together. It’s an intelligent love story. It’s available on all platforms (Amazon, Nook, Smashwords, and Ibooks.) It is also available in paperback.
 
7.    Which main character would you say is your favourite and why?
      I think my favorite main character has been Dylan McEwan from Something Like That; he was enjoyable to write about. Honestly though I think my favorite character in anything I have written is a supporting character. Fenton Wright from The Mermaid’s Lament will most likely be the character I was most proud of writing when I am on my deathbed. 

8.    Is there anything that you cannot do without when writing?
                                 I cannot do without three things; music, hot tea/green tea, and my nails being painted. The last one is weird but is my nails look bad then I find them distracting while I type.
 
9.    Which comes first; The character's story or the idea of the book?
      I think that both the character’s story and the idea of the book come at the same time. If one were to proceed before the other than I would have to say the characters follow the idea.

10. Are you currently working on any new projects? Can you tell us a little about it?
                                         I am currently working on my first YA novel, Each Wave That Breaks. It is a coming of age story about a group of friends told through the perspective of the main character. At this time I don’t want to say too much about it.

11.  How can readers get in contact with you or find out more about your books?
                            Readers can follow me in a multitude of places. I am currently on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snap Chat, Goodreads, Amazon Author, and Tsu. I am always open to messages and emails to discuss my books.
