– Nocturne author – faced with this thought-provoking question:
If my life were a paranormal romance I would have these three things…
Hey – no “ifs” about it. My life already is a paranormal romance.
My closest friends are Weres and Vamps. My husband is an animal (He would be so happy to hear that. Grrrrr). I have an unseen Muse with a very loud voice who sings to me every darn day, thankfully, and often in the oddest places . . . on the elliptical machine when there’s no paper handy to write anything down; when I’m trying to sleep (I keep a lighted pen handy for just this reason); while in the bathtub (I certainly hope the Muse is a female, because I’m usually naked when I bathe); and worst of all times = when I’m driving to work (look out everyone on California roads and freeways, because I scribble while I drive).
Oh, and did I mention that I see dead people?
Life, for me, has always been a supernatural romp. So, answering the above question posed to me is easy.
1) My man – of whatever species – as long as he’s tall, sexy, intelligent, funny, and loyal.
Hot-blooded for only me (sorry vamps, I like warm).
Willing to let me have scribble time, in whatever universe we’re in.
Ready for adventure and fantasy-fests at all hours.
Creative (some of those fantasy-fest ideas should be his).
Not embarrassable when I talk to the dead people.
Oh, and a biggy: Prefers the moon full, anyway.
(Shouldn’t this all belong in the paranormal boy scout credo?).
2) An unlimited supply of everything chocolate. Everyone here knows the reasons for this necessity, so I need not say more.
3) It’s a toss-up between two things here. Since I can’t decide, I’ll list both, as A and B.
A. A very big bed.
For the reason, see all of the above requirements for thing #1.
and
B. Holy Water. Five reasons.
To keep unwanted vamps and other unreligious creatures in their place.
To keep vamps and other creatures in my place, if I want them there. (Sprinkle around the bed in a circle).
To pour on wounds to make them heal faster. i.e., I have a plastic bottle of holy water from the Chalice Well in Glastonbury, England in my medicine cabinet for that very reason. FYI: Prince Charles dipped his elbow in that same water after he broke it playing polo.
What’s good for a true prince…
To drink in an emergency if there’s no other fluid around and I’m dying of thirst.
To sponge-bathe in after scary situations occur.
Well, there you have it. And yes, I do write dark contemporary paranormals for Nocturne. I just have this other side, too. The light supernatural side. A split paranormal personality.
I tread the line.
This is so much fun… I sure hope the next question is…..
“If life were a paranormal romance, which kind of creature would you be?” ha.
And I can’t help but wonder how you’d answer this question that was posed to me here. Life- paranormal romance – maybe one thing you couldn’t do without?
Please do talk to me this morning. And if you answer a question or two correctly from the contest, you’ll get a free book, where you can take a walk with me on the dark side.
Love,
Linda

Hi Linda,
Well, If my life were a paranormal romance I would definitely have to be the kick ass heroine with lots of powers.
My powers would inculde:
a. dreamwalking – because, hey, how much fun would that be.
b. flying – because who I’m trying to be more green and use my car less, and again, how much fun would that be.
c. time travel – being able to go to the future sounds very exciting to me.
answer to the question is Buffy.

I’m laughing because the one thing I probably couldn’t do without if life was a paranormal romance would probably be a stack of sugary sweet home town romances…’cause the reason I adore paranormal is because it’s so different from my day to day routine! If my day to day routine was filled with vamps and weres etc., then I’d probably fantasize about ranchers or sheriffs.

Hi Linda –
If my life were a paranormal romance – I’d be the creature that had all the powers by night, but could move around in the day as well. For some reason, I feel sad for many of the paranormal creatures in romance who can only live when the sun isn’t out. I LOVE the sun.
I know you’re a Buffy fan – I’m a huge Joss Whedon fan – did you see Dollhouse? What did you think?

Good morning Linda,
My life as a paranormal romance? It would have to include a shape shifting alpha hero for sure. Would love to run wild with the beasts.
And yes, Buffy, I still miss that show. Not sure how Dollhouse is going to stack up, but I’m giving it a go.
Linda Thomas-Sundstrom
on Feb 18th, 2009
@ 9:26 am:
Hi Elana. I’m with you on the night vs day thing. Which is why I’ve been writing about Weres lately. Since Weres usually “change” only when the moon is full, they’re mostly human most of the time, right? So they can tan in the sun, and do what most humans do on a daily basis. So much more fun to write about, and so much more room for that creativity I spoke of in my post. Not to mention that a Were’s body temperature can keep a gal warm on a chilly night, (Not that we have so many of those chilly nights in California, but you get my drift).
Ah – Dollhouse. I did indeed watch. Though the critics didn’t take much notice, I liked the first show. But I do have to say that I had a really hard time thinking of Eliza as someone other than FAITH !!! And then a tech showed up who was a member of ANGEL’s crime-fighting team ! The Buffy and Angel charachters are so ingrained in my brain that I’m going to have to behave, and stop shouting their former TV names when they appear on the screen. Joss does like to use his cast members over and over. I kept waiting for Buffy to come in.
Did you like Dollhouse?
Any other Buffy fans here?

I’m with jenny and janeybooks, my paranormal world would most definitely include an alpha male. But I’m not sure I’m up for the whole shape shifting experience. I think the alpha male in my paranormal world would include a Navy Seal with psychic abilities. I could really get behind that.
Almost forget, Buffy is the answer. Sure hope Dollhouse is going to live up to my expectations. Haven’t watched the first show yet, its still on my TIVO. I’m hoping for the best from this one.

Ok, well maybe I haven’t thought this out very clearly. Hmm… I guess I’d also have to have psychic abilities and we could shield each other. Yeah, that’s it. We could only be in each others minds when we allowed it . You’re right I’m going to have to think more on this one. He really doesn’t need to know how much I spend when I hit the mall.

Marisa – Run right out and get those Netflix from your mailbox. Warning though – you have to sit through a few shows to really start to get it. The early ones, which you HAVE to see, were also witty as heck, but it builds up… until it’s Zenlike it its ability to reel you in. Truly. Even my husband agrees, though he tried to fight his attraction to any show called “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”
First, his eyes would pop up over his newspaper, and he would laugh at a line, and get interested the action. That lasted about half a show. After that, he was hooked. You just can’t beat the writing on that show. One of my favs was when Buffy met the real Dracula. Cracks me up.

Good morning Linda! If my life was a P R – I’d like powers like Sam on Bewitched, but I wouldn’t marry a dork like Darren. He’d be a real animal – a werewolf ’cause I don’t like dead things. And my kids would have powers to so that they could snap their fingers and get to school and ballet at will. Hum, might be a parents nightmare, that…but isn’t that what a P world is about?
If you could only have one paranormal power, what would it be?

Janeybooks – yes. Running wild with the beasts. Has a certain ring to it, yes? In my first Nocturne Bite – out last month and titled BLACKOUT, my werewolf is a deputy DA. In WOLF BAIT, out this month, my werewolf is a psychiatrist turned detective. I tend to prefer intelligent beasts for my heroines to run with, since that’s the sort I’d pick to be in a jam with.
How about you?

Morning Jeanne D.
Bewitched was another wonderful show, you are right there. Maybe if you were Sam, birth control would become a major issue – for those very reasons you spoke of. Imagining teen-aged girls with witchy powers makes me shudder. Teen-aged girls have enough moxy and imagination as it is. And as for teen-aged BOYS …. one word sums it up. UGH.
Only one paranormal “power” is the question posed to me, eh?
Well, it would have to be … (drull roll here)… invisibility !
No.
It would be …. Mind control.
No. Wait !
It would be the ability to have ALL abilities at once. (phew).
Like other “Genies” you were trying to trick me, right? If I didn’t phrase that answer exactly right, I’d be in a mess?

@ 10:13 am:
Ah, Maria, our host here. What a question. And the fact of the matter is that I have seen my dearly departed Grangmother sitting in the passenger seat of my car, looking youthful. I have seen a woman in our hotel room in Hawaii – just a glimpse – whom I did not know and later, upon querrying staff – determined it must be the lady who frequented the hotel, and who had recently passed over… the life line. I have seen several other people I didn’t know, and some that I did know. It’s just how things are sometimes for me. Doesn’t feel odd or scary.
Oh – and my father whispered my first story, titled CAFE HEAVEN – (an autobiography of the Aterlife)- to me from the Great Beyond. Of this I’m quite convinced. The book was therfore dedicated to him, since mailing a cheque to the Great Beyond was out of the question. For now.

To Jeanne D.
About law enforcment in my books:
I suppose that since this series I’m doing for Nocturne involves a nasty criminal werewolf in Miami who is biting innocent people – people associated with law enforcement are the key to these investigations. Legally, they can help. And some of them, not all, can carry weapons and badges (called shields by the force) that are tiny throwbacks to the much larger shields of olden times. Which is why in this 5 book series for Nocturne, I think of law-enforcers as modern day knights … chasing down dragons.
The poor FBI always gets a bad reputation on TV, of course, which is the bracchI’d probably choose if I were sane.
If it was to be a toss-up – sane vs not – I’d chose to be WonderWoman. Hand down.
How about you?

Chris Chris Chris – you are so right about Nick St John. (SIGH). Then again, he did burn up his first wife in a fire. And he did get his show cancelled by sleeping with the heroine too soon – a romance no-no. If those Hollywood writers would have asked us romance folks, we would have been able to tell them this – and possibly we’de be able to gawk at old St. Nick to this very day. He deserves a vote for being so good-looking. Good one.
And – EDWARD, eh? Do you or do you not have to admit now that BLONDS have more fun? However, imo – movie casting agents could have made the decision a bit more difficult (talking movie version of Twilight here) by casting Jacob with a younger version of, say, Wolverine-ish Hugh Jackman? Right?
If my first Nocturne Bite book – BLACKOUT – were to be a movie, after fainting with joy I’d want a very sexy actor like those guys. Older than Edward, of course. But not age before beauty.

Jeanne D – Bless you for praising my stories. Sending love your way.
Right now, with this series, it’s werewolves. I just get a kick out of writing about them. Writing about the darker side of the supernatural is sooo delicious. Creating atmposphere is something I like best. Nothing like a full moon to highlight that.
My first book was a dark historical vampire story. That was neat. I could easily go back there….. but dark or light, werewolves presently tickle my fancy. My lighter version of the wolf comes out this April – titled “BARBIE AND THE BEAST.” Title says it all. It’s the comic side of my love for the paranormal.
I need both sides to balance me out.
As for what’s next? I’m thinking…. shhhh…. don’t tell anybody…. %^*%$$##

In my paranormal life I’d have the power of telekinesis so I can lie on my couch while cleaning my home using my awesome mental powers.
And the answer to your question is…….Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I miss that show too, along with Angel and Firefly. I’m a big fan of Joss Whedon’s and thought Dollhouse wasn’t too bad. Pilot episodes are always a bit rough around the edges, so I’m looking forward to future episodes. But any show with a sweaty Tahmoh Penikett showing off his washboard abs gets a big thumbs up.

Hi Linda!
I love your first answer and I totally agree that there should be a paranormal boy scout credo including those items. Like you, I have a small plastic bottle of holy water. However, mine did not come from overseas but from Illinois. My great aunt is a nun (for 75 years now) and is currently residing in a retirement convent in Springfield. I went there two years ago for her 90th birthday and came home with holy water as a gift from her. That is the one thing I wouldn’t want to do without if life were a paranormal romance…well that and a true mate. lol
The answer is: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Hey Karin – I wonder what would happen if we… (gasp) MIXED drops of both holy waters together? Some sort of European and Illinois combustion? Ya think?
I wonder if you’ve used yours? I had a friend try to drink hers … the little nitwit (said lovingly). If you saw the color of the holy wtaer from the Chalice Well, I doubt if you’re try a swig. It’s red – and runs red through an underground stream. Supposedly it’s red from the CHALICE – I mean THE chalice (- that once held the blood of Chist -) being held under the water at this site in England – brought there by Joseph of Aramathea.
Well. Might be an interesting experiment…. and author fodder for a new future book plot.

Yes, chocolate makes the world go ’round. As well as our… um… bodies. So a great paranormal world would allow us to chocolate-feast, with daily chocolate fests, and be slim and healthy. Who do we speak to about this?
*** Unfortunately, I haven’t yet added CHOCOLATE into the Nocturne books as a cure for werewolfism. But I’m thinking that rubbing some chocolate ONTO a nice, sexy alpha werewolf male just might be a new indulgence. Wow. Is it hot in here, or what? ****

Please do buy my two BITES that are out now. BLACKOUT and WOLF BAIT. At http://www.eharlequin.com
I’ll endow the BITES with special karmic powers, so that you’ll have very good days after hitting that buy button.
You will be supporting this creative habit of mine. And at the same time allowing me to buy chocolate until . . . well . .. forever. Hopefully.

So – Marie – if you get this – you will still get a book! Give me a litle time to arrange this, please.
And thanks everyone.

Hi, Linda: I’m still skulking about… I love your cover, too. But as to using it time and time again–well, then you’d miss more fab covers for lots more fab books! Take care, and talk to you soon!
And thanks, everyone, for the discussions. These have been so interesting to read. Take care, all.
