I continue to study with my teacher, Mark Davis of the Boston Martial Arts Center in Allston, MA Continue Reading

Interview with Christina Henry and Giveaway
Who is Christina Henry? Give us the low down. I’m a thirtysomething (OK, almost fortysomething) mom of one boy and I’ve been happily married for eleven years. When I’m not writing or helping my son build robots out of Legos I like to run long distances, bake sweet things (this is one of the many reasons that I run), and read as much as I can. I really enjoy watching movies where people get eaten by monsters – The Host, Jaws, Alien, and Night of the Living Dead are some of my favorites. Continue Reading

Interview and Giveaway With Nana Malone
I’m happy to have Nana Malone here at Smexy today. We are talking about her debut book, Game,Set,Match. Game,Set,Match is your debut novel. Tell us about your road to publication. Was it bumpy or smooth sailing? Totally smooth sailing. Ha! I wish. When I started writing 11 years ago, I thought I’d have a book written in a month, sell it a month after that and be a NYT bestseller in no time. Clearly I’d lost my mind. The reality was, I had a lot to learn about plot and characterization and Continue Reading
Interview with Kalayna Price and Giveway
Who is Kalayna Price. Give us the dirty low down. Who am I? I'm the girl with the blue hair in the corset who is sporting kick ass boots, a hoop over one shoulder, and laptop tucked under one arm. Or at least that might be who you see at a con. On a day to day basis, I'm just a girl locked to a computer, pounding out words. Grave Witch is the first in your Alex Craft series. I love that Alex is poor, doesn’t get along with her family and struggles physically after she has to use her magic. Continue Reading

She also doesn't speak of herself in third person (that she will admit to), so she's switching to first person now. Ahem.

Who is Lila DiPasqua - Give us the low down. I was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I’m married to a wonderful, totally supportive man and we have three children. Formerly a law clerk, I used to work in a high-end law firm and specialized in litigation. It was a fast-paced, high-stress career.
