Interview of author Alexandra Anthony

Lets welcome Alexandra Anthony to Julie's Book Review. Alexandra is giving away an eBook version of Awakening, so don't forget to check out the Rafflecopter to the right of the page.

Welcome to Julie’s Book Review. Can you tell me a little about yourself?
I’m a stay at home mom from the Midwest that enjoys a good vampire story. After reading quite a few, I decided I wanted to put my own twist on vampires and erotic romance.

What kind of books do you write? Newest release?
I write paranormal erotic romance. My newest release is Awakening (The Vampire Destiny Series Book 3)

What should we expect in your book?
You should expect a mix of drama, humor and sexy scenes that aren’t for the faint of heart!

How do you get ideas for your books?
A lot of daydreaming…and plotting too!

Anything in your stories based on real experiences?
I wish…Stefan would be too good to be true.

Toughest criticism? Best compliment?
My toughest criticism is that my books are classless and crude. My best compliment is when a reader tells me they fell in love with the characters and they feel like they’re in the room with them.

Any advice for aspiring authors?
Keep writing. The more your write, the easier the story comes to you.

How about some fun stuff? Favorite past time?
Reading…when I’m not writing.

Dogs or cats or some other pet?
Dogs. I have two: a Shih Tzu and a rescued beagle

One Favorite book? Why?
My favorite book is an old one. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I love the mystery of the book, how the narrator of the book always feels like she’s living in the shadows of her new husband’s ex-wife…only to find out he detested Rebecca. And I love that we never know the narrator’s name. It’s a book I frequently reread.

Favorite place to travel?
Any place out of the Midwest…either sandy and sunny or blue skies and mountains.

One favorite author? Why?
I can’t name just one. Anne Rice, Daphne du Maurier, Charlaine Harris

Is this your full time job?
Yes and no. In addition to writing, I also homeschool my nine year old.

Where can we find you and your books?

Fated (The Vampire Destiny Series Book 1)
Illusion (The Vampire Destiny Series Book 2)
Awakening (The Vampire Destiny Series Book 3)

Barnes & Noble Links to my books

Welcome to Julies Book Review

Mission Statement and procedures:

To all of my readers, fellow reviewers, authors and friends,

Julies Book Review is dedicated to reading, reviewing and helping out as may authors as possible. As a team we work together and produce hundreds of reviews a year and have helped thousands of authors promote their work.

How do we do this? Co-operation is key. My many reviewers, receive books from many authors and many genre’s all. They then send their reviews to my administrative staff and we then distribute their reviews for them to the different social media sites and selling platforms. This is all pre-arranged with all new reviewers. Reviewers are free to post their reviews for themselves but most choose to let the administration staff do it for them.

Negativity is not tolerated on the site. Only books that the reviewers deem a 3 star or better is advertised by this blog. If a book is not up to those standards, we try other reviewers but ultimately, some books will not be reviewed that are sent to us. I would rather not put a review up than to say anything bad about someones hard work.

One of the first rules I mention to all new reviewers is that no bashing of anyone, is tolerated on the site. It is not just unacceptable on the site but also childish and unprofessional.

Basically this blog and the many sites that are connected to it, all have one thing in common, the love of reading.

Julie Ramsey
