Welcome to Love Romances & More Reviews Catherine Kean.
Comfortable? Let’s begin, shall we?
To get us started can you tell us a little about what you are working on or have coming out?
I am currently writing A Knight’s Seduction, the fifth and final book in my Knight’s
Series. I hope to have this published by Summer 2014, but with this being the
last series novel, I have lots of story threads from the first four books to
neatly wrap up. Plus, I really love Tye, the emotionally tormented alpha-male
hero of this novel, and I want his book to be extra heart-wrenching and good.
So, I’m giving myself the time to rework and refine and tweak until I’m sure
the book is ready to offer to readers.
Meanwhile, I’m also writing a medieval
novella which will be the first story in an anthology called Charmed, due out in Fall 2014. This is a
project I’m doing with six other author friends, and each of the stories
focuses on an emerald that’s first introduced in my novella, and is rumored to
bring soul mates together. There will be some fabulous stories in this
anthology, including a pirate romance and a novella set in World War II, and
I’m really excited to see how readers will like the collection.
Also on my writing agenda: a novella for a Medieval
Christmas anthology, due out in Fall 2014. My muse is still mulling over the
glimmer of an idea for this story, but it will be good, I promise.
How would you describe yourself using only five words?
I would say I’m a loving, loyal, creative, ambitious introvert.
Do you have any guilty pleasures?
Oh, yes! I love sweets, and a delicious sugary treat is often my reward for getting my pages done for the day.
Name one thing readers would be surprised to
know about you.
I collect antiques. I studied fine art and antiques at Sotheby’s inLondon

If someone hasn't read any of your work, what book would you recommend that they start with and why?
I always recommend A Knight’s Vengeance, Book 1 of my Knight’s Series. It was in so many ways the “book of my heart.” Right now, you can get this novel plus two others of mine in a special boxed set called Medieval Rogues, available on Kindle. The set’s just $0.99 through the holidays.
