Welcome Guest Author Larissa Ione

It is my great pleasure to be able to introduce our latest guest author, Larissa Ione. ::round of applause, raising of drinks:: I did a happy little fangirl dance around my apartment when she agreed to stop by the island for a visit. Why is that? Well, she snagged a spot on many of our "Best of 2008" lists. Her latest release, Desire Unchained, was among my most anticipated releases of 2009. I envy her mad writing skillz and covet her heroes. The creator of the dark paranormal romance Demonica series, Larissa has built a world that is vivid and rich with possibilities. Most days she can be found at her own blog or at Writeminded, but for the next three days she is all mine ours! Now, without further ado, I pass the mic to Ms. Ione!

Favorite Reading Position: Sitting on the couch with feet up on the ottoman!


Best love song: I actually hate to say it, but...Everything I Do, by Bryan Adams. It’s the most over-played wedding songs in the history of wedding songs, but I still love it.

If you could be in one book/series/world which would you pick: Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time world. OMG, I love it. Love. It. Let me just make that clear...I LOVE IT.

Author everyone loves but you don't: Clive Cussler. I love the stories, but something about his style just doesn’t work for me.

How old is your inside voice: 25.

Favorite sex song: Big Balls. What? Does everyone say that? Okay, okay... actually, I can’t think of anything. I’m not a real big music person.

What heroine would you like to be: Riley Jenson from Keri Arthur’s urban fantasy series. She’s so kick-ass and uninhibited.

If you could be a hero who would you be: Hmm...that’s a tough one, but I’d probably have to go with Joe Mackenzie, from Mackenzie’s Mission, by Linda Howard, because he’s a pilot (hot!) and he’s not too messed up.

Boxers, Briefs, boxer briefs, kilt (I say we add commando): I say you add commando too!!!! But let’s go with boxer briefs for now.

What heroine is most like you: I’d have to go with Kira from Unleashing The Storm. She’s an animal lover to the extreme, just like I am.

What hero is most like your significant other: I’d have to go with Eidolon, from Pleasure Unbound. He’s very intelligent, cool, calm, and collected, and when he gets angry, it’s a glacial, scary kind of angry.

What hero would you like to be your significant other: If I wasn’t married...hmmm...I’m going to jump back up to Joe Mackenzie. OMG, I love flight suits...

Favorite book set on a tropical island: Um...Treasure Island?

If you were stuck on a desert island what 3 things would you bring: Books, my husband (cuz he’s survival guy,) and migraine meds.

Favorite drink to bring to the DIK party: Chocolate martinis, baby! Yum!!!
