Interview with Cassi Armstrong

Welcome Cassi Armstrong to our live chat session, in our very own Coffee Time Romance chat room. This is and will be the very first live interview ever in here and you are our special guest today. I hope that you will love that distinction being the first, also in here for me, to conduct a live interview in our own chat room.

Lainey: So, hello Cassi.

Cassi: Why thank you, and hello to you too Lainey!

Lainey: OK here we with go with the first question our readers might want to know for you Cassi. How did you get started writing and your first published story?

Cassi: How did I first start writing? I was actually a sophmore in college…and it kind of stemmed from off a growing obsession with romance novels. That probably doesn’t sound terribly romantic for a romance writer, does it?

I actually didn’t start reading anything from my genre until my sophmore year. And my first story was published by Whiskey Creek Press Torrid, September of 2006. I guess that is only half of the story to how I started writing. I pretty much, after reading a lot, decided to try my hand at it. I had so much fun, and it was so different from what I normally did that it became a hobby.

Lainey: That is ok, as you said it is a start and quite a young one at that! I think our readers should know that you are still pretty young and still in school, correct? Where do you go to school and how old are you if you do not mind me asking?

Cassi: Yes, I don’t mind you asking. I’ll be 24 the 14 th of April. And I go to Cleveland State University.

Lainey: Well happy almost birthday then Cassi since today is the end of the month and March 31st for all our viewers.

Cassi: Thank you!

Lainey: Now the next logical question shall be, what is your major and when do you graduate?

Cassi: English, with a concentration in creative writing. I’m set to graduate May of 2008. It would have been earlier, but I have to take a French course, which they unfortunately only offer in the spring…

Lainey: That is still great, what are your plans after you graduate?

Cassi: Join the military, return to school for a degree in Engineering… and of course, write another novella, or perhaps a novel – since I’ll finally have plenty of time on my hands..

Lainey: Wow, that is fantastic Cassi. I am so happy for you and your chosen career and to be able to write at the same time and keep that going as well.

Cassi: It’s all a work in progress of course…but I look forward to it. Yes I never wanted to do the ordinary.

Lainey: Now to the complete works you have had published, can you tell our readers about those so far?

Cassi: Sure. In September of 2006 I published Love in the Bahamas, which is part of Torrid Teaser Volume 12, which I share with Mary Chapman’s Dance with Me. And released earlier this month, The Man Upstairs, which is a part of Torrid Teaser Volume 23, which I share with J. T. Schultz’s Kiss of the Wolf.

Love in the Bahamas is about a woman, tormented by past love gone bad, who finds new love in a most unexpected place. The Man Upstairs is a little different. The entire story revolves around cooking (and the main character’s inability to cook). It’s a story of a woman overcoming her insecurities to welcome love.

Lainey: Those definitely sound like very different stories. Can you tell us what you have going on right now? Are you working on another story or do you have another coming out anytime soon?

Cassi: I’m currently working on another story. I haven’t decided if I’m going to publish it yet or if I am going to use it for a scholarship, that’s being conducted through my school.

Lainey: Well it sounds to me like you can do both. Scholarship first then publish it later.

Cassi: I might end up doing that in the end. It’s just that the department that is hosting it likes to publish anything that is a part of a contest …that might complicate things in the end too.

Lainey: Well I would think they can publish it as part of a contest but you could also publish it later like a Re-release with another publisher, your own or something.

Cassi: That might be possible.

Lainey: Something to figure out and find out all the regulations for it and go from there maybe?

Cassi: Yes.

Lainey: Now what is there you want to tell all of our readers and fans of yours, is there anything you think they would be interested in or need to know about you or what you want to do?

Cassi: I guess I can say that since I love Sci-Fi, one day, if they stick around , they’ll really love what I have in mind. At least where I want the direction of my career to go. Sci-Fi as in folklore and curses … *smiles* mixed of course with romance in one form or another, because I’m a firm believer that one can never get too much of romance.

Lainey: Wow, that sounds exciting and a nice progression in your own life as with your writing in a different genre as you go. I do have another question for you as it goes along with what you just said. If you continue to go in a different genre will you use your own name still or maybe go with a pen name instead for it?

Cassi: I think I may continue to use my own name, but then I’m not sure what the future holds , so I can’t say whether or not I’ll ever use a pen name.

Lainey: That makes sense but it always gives you that option in the future to do so.

Cassi: Yes. I think, if I ever were to write something extremely personal , I might use a pen name. I’ve been thinking about writing a few things that I’d consider extremely personal for a while.

Lainey: Then that fits well in your life, it gives you an option to write what you want and yet use another genre and name also.

Cassi: It’s quite grand when you put it that way.

Lainey: Many use a form of their name or initials and others decide a totally different name suits that genre better, that will be for you to decide.

Cassi: I’ve thought about that … I actually thought about using a pen name for my current publication and my first one. But I decided not to at the last minute.

Lainey: That is ok, you can make that decision at any time and when the time is right or calls for it in your life.

Cassi: Yes.

Lainey: How about you give us any web sites, blogs, email or anything else your readers can see and contact you at?

Cassi: I don’t have a particular website up yet. But I do have several blogs, there’s http://torridtempations.blogspot.com, http://cassiarmstrong.blogspot.com, if any of my readers would like to contact me via email, my email address is cassi.armstrong@gmail.com, I also have a space on myspace. It’s basically my name, if anyone has trouble accessing it, just email me and I’ll respond ASAP. I’ll most likely post it on my blogs when my website is up.

Lainey: So is your myspace www.myspace.com/cassiarmstrong ?

Cassi: I believe so…*laughs* I’ve tried looking at my site, but I always get a funky URL given to me. But my real name is used on the account and if anyone needs to search for me through email, it’s cassiann2005@yahoo.com, I guess I create a lot of work *laughs* I’m also on Facebook. My ID for Facebook is Cassi Armstrong, and I’m in Cleveland State University’s Network…it seems so strange that I have to tell people how to find me rather than give an actual URL. Facebook may not be a good way to contact me…I do check my email and I’ll respond if anyone sends me an email. I think I might have to leave it at that at this point *laughs*

Lainey: That is ok and those are plenty of ways for people to contact you and also see your sites including blogs.

Cassi: I think that’ll have to do for now. Do you have any other questions?

Lainey: Thanks so much for being here today Cassi, I truly enjoyed your company and will hope to see you on our boards and in our chat room and E-Loop chats now too. Well I can only ask , is there anything coming up to promote your latest release like a scheduled chat or anything?

Cassi: You most likely will see me. No, I don’t currently have anything coming up, but I do chat in Whiskey Creek Press Torrid’s blog every 15th of the month. Their blog is http://torridtempations.blogspot.com. Actually that is my day to host the blogspot. So feel free, anyone feel free, to stop by, leave a message if you want or start a conversation about something with either myself or one of the other authors.

Lainey: Do you also go in our chat room every first Sunday of the month for Whiskey Creek Torrid chats?

Cassi: I feel kind of bad to say, I’ve been unable to do it. I’ve tried to get in there several times. I’ll have to come in tomorrow… I guess I’ve been a bad writer in that sense. I haven’t kept up with that little part of the bargain, coming to chat rooms to discuss my books, which I would LOVE to do. I saw that you have tomorrow at 8 PM…I haven’t even been to the ones on my publisher’s site… I really did mean it when I said I had trouble finding time to come into chat rooms. It actually got to the point, I temporarily forgot the password to log in the author section…*laughs* I probably shouldn’t be laughing. Maybe when the semester is over, I’ll find more time, a lot more time. I actually can’t wait.

Lainey: Well now you have come in here so if you can make the monthly chats here in our chat room you will be ok the first Sunday of the month. And you are logged in here, so it is easy next time you use it *smiles*

Cassi: *laughs* It wasn’t that hard to log in actually.

Lainey: So see, now no real excuse for how hard it is to get in here except your time away from work and school.

Cassi: Yes. I don’t have any major papers due, at least until the 13th, so I should be able to make it in. I don’t know about May 1st yet that is finals week. I saw that WCPT is going to be chatting in your chat room May 1st.

Lainey: Yes but they will be here tomorrow so maybe you can just surprise them then and not worry about May’s chat *smiles*

Cassi: *laughs* It probably will be a surprise. Hopefully the chat topics won’t make me blush too much…

Lainey: That is ok, we can also come in and join you. If you need some support I will be here too, how about that?

Cassi: *laughs* I’ll probably need it, you probably would laugh if I told you that while I wrote the sex scenes in my stories, I had to make sure I was by myself … But since I’m getting off topic…Is there anything else you would like to know about me or my writing?

Lainey: I think we covered most of it but maybe you need to tell our readers just what kind of romance are in both of your stories, say steam or heat level…*smiles* while we were talking about that a sec ago…

Cassi: hmm…there’s definitely steam in both of my stories. I’ll say that while parts of it is graphic, there’s no B&M in it…I think that’s what it is called. *laughs* hmm…there’s a lot of innuendos in them. I think the best thing my readers could do is just go out and buy a copy of both books for themselves and discover just how steamy both of my books are. And they might not want to be out in public while they’re reading it … they might start fantasizing as if it was really happening.

Lainey: Well on that note I would say our readers definitely can read this interview, then go out and check out your books for themselves to find out for sure *grins*

Cassi: *smiles* Yes.

Lainey: I guess I should let you go now since you’ve been so kind being here for a while today with me. I had a fun time though.

Cassi: So did I.

Lainey: I will see you out of here so you do not get lost… *laughs*

Cassi: *laughs* It was nice chatting with you. Bye.

5 Elements of a Scene: #5 a Closing Hook by Kayelle Allen

We`ve been discussing the elements of a scene. In fiction, a scene is where action occurs (scene of the crime), or an incident takes place (a seduction, an argument, a beginning conflict), etc.

Good scenes consist of five things. An opening hook, a complication, a discovery, a response, and a closing hook.
We`ve discussed the first four here:
#1 Opening Hook https://coffeetimeromance.com/advice-for-authors-by-kayelle-allen/

#2 Turning Point https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-2-the-turning-point-by-kayelle-allen/

#3 Discovery https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-3-revelations-by-kayelle-allen/

#4 Reaction https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-4-a-reaction-by-kayelle-allen/

#5 Closing Hook

Now let`s get to the final element, the closing "hook" that will propel the reader to the next scene (or book).
Closing Hook
How do you decide on a closing hook with punch? A solid closing hook will end with a decision, however unlikely at the beginning. In fact, your closing will reflect the opening in some way.

What is your protagonist`s inner conflict? How has that been shaken—or evolved? What elements of the scene or story made their conflict worse? Is there something in the situation that you can tie to their reaction to create a question?

In fact, learning to end on that moment of surprise or indecision is key to the hook. Less is more.

Example 1 – a man and a woman argue. Which hook is stronger?

He stalked off into the night.

She followed him.

OR

He stalked off into the night.

The second ending is the better hook. Why? Because we don`t know her reaction. Also, we don`t know where he is going, why, or what he is going to do. But we want to know.

Example 2 – A character is running.

He fled down the alley, dashed around the corner and slipped into the darkness.

Hopefully, they wouldn`t find him.

OR

He fled down the alley, dashed around the corner and slipped into the darkness.

The second ending is better. Why? Even if we already know who or what is following him, we don`t know how it ends up. We can infer how he feels from the verbs in the sentence:...

Hi Everyone!

I hope you`re having a wonderful holiday season! Have you watched any holiday movies you love? I`m obsessed with The Holiday so will definitely be doing a rewatch of that!

In the meantime, I`ve been hard at work on the Wolves of Crescent Creek books and I am IN LOVE!!! I also just got the covers back for the series and I just have to say...PREPARE YOURSELVES! I am so obsessed with them and hoping to show you in the new year with fun updates on that front!

For now, I`ve got an audio sale and a super fun giveaway for you!!

I’d always wondered what it would be like to have a family. I just never expected to find it with five mysterious strangers who have more secrets than I could ever imagine.

Getting a scholarship to Evergreen University and majoring in premed means I need to keep my head down and focus on my studies. But campus is full of distractions…

The football god with his golden retriever charm. The tortured one with his vicious tongue. The broken boy with his determined protectiveness. The merciless billionaire with a penchant for spoiling me. And the genius professor with his brilliant mind.

They make me feel like I belong for the first time since my parents were murdered. And when they touch me, my whole world sparks to flame.

But they have enemies. Those who would give anything to harm what they hold dear. And while they’ll do whatever it takes to keep me safe, sometimes falling in love will put you right in the line of fire…

Grab the audio for $5.99 for Audible Plus Members!

St. Nicked by Damon SuedeSt. Nicked: There`s no gift like the present.

Holidays this fun can’t be legal. When a cat burglar dressed as Santa targets a glitzy Manhattan high-rise, the holidays get unhinged.

As superintendent, Mark Almeida needs to keep the residents safe, and as a former NYPD cop, he knows he can crack the case without any help… until he meets a suave stranger too handsome for his own good who pushes buttons Mark didn’t know he had.

As the holly-jolly crime spree unfolds, Mark wrestles with duty and desire while juggling festive clues, lavish gifts, and stolen kisses in time for a truly crooked Christmas.

St. Nicked, the newest contemporary romance from Damon Suede, combines the tension of a mystery with feel-good romance in a way only Damon can deliver.

Purchase Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D9HGW7GC/

Meet the Author

Damon Suede… between soft and rough

Damon Suede grew up out-n-proud deep in the anus of right-wing America, and escaped as soon as it was legal. He has lived all over: Houston, New York, London, Prague. Along the way, he’s earned his crust as a model, a messenger, a promoter, a programmer, a sculptor, a singer, a stripper, a bookkeeper, a bartender, a techie, a teacher, a director... but writing has ever been his bread and butter. He has been happily partnered for over a decade with the most loving, handsome, shrewd, hilarious, noble man to walk this planet.

Addictions: sweetness that isn’t sentimental, wit that isn’t bitter, strength that isn’t cruel. Allergies: professional victims, half-assery, clichés.

Beyond romance fiction, Damon has been writing for print, stage, and screen for over three decades, which is both more and less glamorous than you might imagine. He`s won some awards, but his blessings are more numerous: his amazing friends, his demented family, his beautiful husband, his loyal fans, and his silly, stern, seductive Muse who keeps whispering in his ear, year after year.

Damon would love to hear from you... you can get in touch with him here or at any of the following social media hubs:

The Ramseys by Amber Daulton - in Time Complete Box Set NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!

The Ramseys in Time box set features spunky heroines, brooding heroes, and a trip through time. Each of the two novellas included have a 50k word count, making this box set top off at 100k.

In Timeless Honor, Jaye Ramsey goes on vacation with her friends to Bolivia in order to prove to her eccentric grandmother that time travel doesn`t exist. There she finds a time portal in the Salar de Uyuni (the salt flats) and winds up in Georgian England. Never did she expect to fall in love with a man from her grandmother`s past, Lord Lucas Kenway, who was accused of murdering his wife on their wedding night.

In Timeless Beginnings, Leonora Harris flees her newly wedded husband`s home and loses her way in the woods. After she falls through a portal, she wakes up in 1960s Bolivia. Luckily for her, she meets undercover CIA agent Rodger Ramsey and embraces her new life as a modern woman.

Even though these novellas are standalones, it`s best to read them together, in any order, because you`ll be able to fully immerse yourself in this fictional world of magic portals, culture shock, and happily ever afters. And besides, who can get enough of time travel romance? Not me, that`s for sure.

For the first time ever, the Ramsey in Time Complete Box Set is now AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER.

In Timeless Beginnings, Leonora Harris flees her newly wedded husband's home and loses her way in the woods. After she falls through a portal, she wakes up in 1960s Bolivia. Luckily for her, she meets undercover CIA agent Rodger Ramsey and embraces her new life as a modern woman.

Even though these novellas are standalones, it's best to read them together, in any order, because you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in this fictional world of magic portals, culture shock, and happily ever afters. And besides, who can get enough of time travel romance? Not me, that's for sure.

For the first time ever, the Ramsey in Time Complete Box Set is now AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER.

Down at the Shore by Karen Cino

An Author’s Twelve Days of Christmas

With the holiday season upon us, it is our time to reflect on the year gone by and start getting together a list of resolutions for the New Year. This is one of my comic relief poems. I refer to it as my quick pick-me-upper when my muse comes to a halt. This is my version of The Twelve Days of Christmas.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my friends gave to me:

Twelve hours of nonstop writing,
Eleven great plots ideas with a twist,
Ten true to life characters,
Nine boxes of tissues,
Eight books on writing,
Seven sites on marketing,
Six unique promo tips,
Five colored highlighters,
Four packages of post it notes,
Three colorful loose-leaf binders,
Two boxes of colorful paperclips,
And a bottle of Procesecco to stimulate my mind.

To all my writer friends and readers I`d like to wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season full of love and happiness! I`m sharing with you my Christmas tree and decorations.

If you stop by and leave a comment, you will be put in a drawing to receive an ebook of your choice: Roses or Seaside Reboot (Jersey Route 35 Cozy Mystery). All you need to do is tell me your favorite Christmas/Holiday treat and/or what you want Santa to bring! Good luck!
Down at the Shore
Brooke Dascoli is in a relationship that’s going nowhere. She moves into the beach house her grandmother left her at the Jersey Shore and forms a friendship with her neighbors, Flo Meadows and Jane Cummings. Flo carries around a huge secret that has haunted her since her first marriage and Jane is having a hard time dealing with a cheating husband who died shortly after their divorce. Together each woman shares their past indiscretions and future dreams, while dealing with loss, renewal and starting over.

My Fake Italian Marriage by Romy Sommer
Escape to Italy for a summer romance
As the nights draw in and winter approaches, you may be indulging in hot cocoa, woolly sweaters, and Hallmark holiday movies...or you might be indulging in dreams of summery destinations and strappy sundresses. I`m definitely in the latter camp. I don`t do well with the cold, so I hibernate all winter, warming myself up by escaping to warmer climes in the pages of books. One of my favorite destinations, no matter the season, is Italy - the home of pizza, pasta, gelato, and amazing wines. (And yes, I am a tad obsessed with the taste of Italy!)

Enjoy your own escape to Italy with "My Fake Italian Marriage," a romance filled with sunshine, mouth-watering food and wine, and (of course!) a heart-warming fake marriage romance.

In the words of The Unrepentant Bookaholic: "Set in the beautiful Tuscan hills and vineyards, this story was delightful, sweetly steamy, and still romantic. Sworn off men after two failed relationships, Cleo is sent to Luca`s family vineyard to protect her company`s investment. Sparks fly, and a reluctant partnership is formed to keep the failing business alive. Fabulous!"
