Q+A with Sharon Ashwood

EJ:  When did you begin writing? 

Sharon:  I’ve always written for my own pleasure—I think I started on walls and moved to paper sometime in grade school. I began seriously writing novels with publication in mind about 10 or 12 years ago. The best thing I did was join a couple of critique groups.



EJ:  What brought you to the paranormal genre? 

Sharon:  Stories to do with magic and the supernatural have always been my go-to books. I particularly like the collision between the supernatural and “normal” worlds—there is a great potential for both humor and conflict when realities collide. My natural style is just between paranormal romance and urban fantasy.  I seem to love chase scenes and blowing things up.



EJ:  If you could be any paranormal or have any one supernatural talent, what would it be? Why?

Sharon:  Hm. Maybe the ability to go for days without sleep?  Or make time stand still while I finally got some quiet hours to work?  All my desires seem to be about getting through my to-do list—maybe I really want to be The Flash!


EJ:  Tell us why readers will enjoy your new release.

Sharon:  Because my werewolf hero, Faran Kenyon, is adorable. He’s a definite alpha wolf, but he is funny and smart. Of all the heroes I’ve written, he’s the one I wouldn’t mind keeping for myself. For one thing, he is a trained chef and can pamper his guests with delicious meals. For another, he knows his jewelry. Well, he was a jewel thief once so if he goes to buy something for his lady love, he knows what he’s looking for.

I think what I like most about Faran is that he got a rough start in life but is better for it. Sure, he carries some scars, but he’s wise. There’s a lot to be said for someone who really knows himself and is ready to take on an honest, intense relationship, even if it’s a challenging one. 
And oh, he has to work for his happy ending in this story!

EJ:  If your book(s) were being made into a movie, who would you cast for the leading roles? Why?

Sharon:  Jessica Chastain might be a good fit for Lexie Haven, the heroine. She’s got the long red hair and the same spark. Faran--definitely Chris Hemsworth.

Thank you Sharon for joining us here today at From the Shadows!

Possessed by a Wolf (Horsemen #3) by Sharon Ashwood.

Wolves mate for life… and wolves never forget their first love.

Royal photographer Lexie Haven wasn't expecting to see her ex-boyfriend Faran ever again. She could accept that he was a spy, but a werewolf? No way. No matter how good they had been together, she has very personal reasons for steering clear of monsters. That is, until he literally crashes into a royal gathering in all his furry glory—and with a gunman on his tail.

Within minutes of seeing each other again, the two estranged lovers are on a collision course. For now, Lexie is a prime suspect in the heist of a priceless ring, and only Faran can help her find the jewel and restore peace to the royal kingdom. But first, Lexie needs to trust in second chances and the supernatural.
