Today I'm lucky to have my friend Patricia Josephine visiting me on the blog. Patricia has a new book out called Tempting Friendship, and I was lucky enough to get an interview with her.
Welcome, Patricia!
That's a tough one given I like to put my characters through hell (sometimes literally.) Maybe Rose because she likes to dye her hair like me, but unlike me, isn't afraid to speak her mind.
Why? And what would you do that day?
I guess I answered this first part already. I'd wing it. Planning is too tedious and it's annoying when things get in the way.
In what way is your story unique compared to other books in this genre?
Well, the two main characters don't have sex, for one. Or even kiss. I thought a kiss would happen at the end, but Quinn had other ideas (mainly a video game.)
What part of the story was the most fun to write? The most challenging?
Keane's bantering with Quinn. It was fun to make them bicker or have inside jokes with each other. The scene at the farmhouse. I could see it in my head, but I struggled to put it into words.
Which of your characters is most like you?
None, really. I'm a boring person. You so don't want me as a character in a story.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and how would you use it?
I was always fond of the ability to fly. For traveling duh! ;) I just hope that wouldn't get me motion sick like every other form of travel.
If you could reenact a scene from any book (not necessarily your own), what would it be? Who would you choose for your scene partner(s)?
I'd go with something from Harry Potter probably and rope my two besties into doing it with me. They're fans too, so they wouldn't have a problem. It's probably devolve into something inappropriate, too.
Tell us something we’d be surprised to learn about you.
When I was in elementary school, I decided to write a story about a wolf in the style of Jane Eyre. I was about a paragraph in when a classmate stopped and read it out loud and I felt so stupid that I scratched the idea then and there.
What other interests do you have outside of writing?
I like to knit, make jewelry, and have recently gotten back into painting. In fact, I was painting just before answering these questions. And I didn't get paint on my keyboard.
Do you have a nervous habit when writing? A guilty pleasure when writing? (example: chew a pen to death or have a stack of Hershey’s kisses while you write)
I'm not sure and I don't write much around hubby so he can't tell me if I do or not. No, but I do reward myself as motivation to write.
Thanks so much for taking the time to come by and answer these questions, Patricia. I wish you all the best with your new release.

At first, Quinn isn’t impressed by Keane. He’s cocky and has sex on the brain. The polar opposite of her. Despite their differences, something blossoms between the two.
Never one to take things seriously, Keane is an incubus coasting through life without a care. When he meets Quinn, her lack of reaction to him piques his interest. No human has ever been able to resist him.
As Keane and Quinn struggle to understand what is going on between them, something sinister rocks their world. Young incubi are vanishing, and Keane's friends go missing. Someone is after his kind. When Quinn is kidnapped, Keane must uncover who is behind the abductions and get to her before it's too late.
