I live the life of a very boring, but very busy hermit writer ;-)<br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Hey Jen. Thanks for checking out my site! Elora's Match is like my baby. I even have a tattoo dedicated to the story and getting published. If you do get around to reading it let me know what you think.

All of my characters are Australian, even if the story is set elsewhere, so there are some colloquialisms and saying like 'eyed off' that don't translate properly to the Americans I've worked with. It makes for some funny emails going back and forth!<br />My dream is to find an Aussie epublisher, but I'm out of luck on that so far.Liia Ann Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612018772016785403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-43202016409649797372011-07-18T03:07:37.729-04:002011-07-18T03:07:37.729-04:00Hey DD Thanks for coming by!

This 1NS opportunity was just perfect timing for me :-)<br /><br />Artemis - Gambit is my fave too! Has been since I was about 5 I think. Taylor Kitsch was the perfect actor to play Gambit in my mind. <br />I made both the hero (Xavier) and heroine (Zalia) vegan. In Australia it's incredibly rare to find a vegan. For him it was the sealer of going on the date.Liia Ann Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612018772016785403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-67456518681339224652011-07-18T01:17:45.630-04:002011-07-18T01:17:45.630-04:00Congratulations on your new release.

There's always a lot more involved and I tend to second guess my beginnings (a lot!). My debut took 9 months to write and the follow up and YA I've got in the works look like they're going to take the same amount of time. But hopefully they'll be worth it :-)Liia Ann Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612018772016785403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-43962725602300617602011-07-17T17:10:44.696-04:002011-07-17T17:10:44.696-04:00Hi Stacie!

I'm a new author. At the moment I've got one release out - an urban fantasy/paranormal romance entitled Elora's Match. It's the first book in The Different Saga (book 2 is currently in the works). <br />I've got a couple more 1NS shorts in the works, as well as a couple of holiday stories for anthologies with Silver and Decadent Publishing.Liia Ann Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612018772016785403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-82000047013137814242011-07-17T17:04:26.760-04:002011-07-17T17:04:26.760-04:00@June M - Hi June, thanks for commenting!

If there are people in the house I just can't concentrate enough to get it done - people moving around me is very distracting. <br />As for food and drink; I always have either a red cordial (it's a sugar drink you mix with water here in Oz, not alcoholic) or Pepsi Max nearby to help. I have no idea why they work, but they help keep me on track :-)Liia Ann Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612018772016785403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-86997926766048657512011-07-17T17:02:10.192-04:002011-07-17T17:02:10.192-04:00@Shadow_Kohler - Thanks so much for stopping by!

Figuring out their emotions, what they liked and how they worked together sexually was a lot of fun. Especially working with two emotionally vulnerable people, as well as a woman who was ultimately quite insecure with her physical appearance.Liia Ann Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612018772016785403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-29344478942968986122011-07-17T15:50:06.403-04:002011-07-17T15:50:06.403-04:00Liia, congrats on the release! and it's incred...Liia, congrats on the release! and it's incredible that you only needed two days for writing the story!! but how long does it take you to write a full length novel?<br /><br />booksforalleternity at gmail dot comMelanie S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03050528587604481605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-18913743808235636542011-07-17T15:14:49.933-04:002011-07-17T15:14:49.933-04:00congratulations on the new release,
