LOL, that's the Golden Ticket question! Between novel writing, blogging, reading, reviewing, marketing, promoting...Oh, yes, I also have a full time job, friends and family that need my attention too. Whew! No, there never seems to be enough hours in the day, but I suppose you always find time for the things you love most. I'm a major multi-tasker, and I'm always juggling several balls in the air at one time. I just don't stress when I drop a few from time to time, forgive myself, pick them up, then put them back into play. Life's an adventure, and I don't plan to waste a minute of it!

Not as a shelved genre, no. If you seek a book, you will find it sectioned off in either a "fantasy" section closer to the "science fiction" genre, while "paranormal" is sectioned by itself (I used to be a bookseller). "Romance" is also its own genre with many sub-genres, "paranormal romance" being one of them.

LOL--that will be revealed in later books. Sorry, no spoilers. :)

Well...I think you're going to pretty surprised. And that's all I'm going to say LOL :) (hint--my Beta Reader was jumping up and down)

As in music for the action in the book? If so, I would definitely have to say "Titanium" is one that kept rolling through my mind as I wrote Sandy/Andee, and "Magic" by B.o.B whenever I thought of Peter.

I did a couple weeks ago, darn. However, you might be even more interested in my upcoming Easter Egg hunt contest this next week awarding (5) winners with Amazon gift cards. Check out my website for details: www.addisoncarmichael.com. I will also post when I plan to offer future freebies and discounts.

That's difficult to answer, because I've never experienced it. The harder question for me is to stay focused on only one project at a time. As soon as I'm in the middle of one story, five more pop up and beg to be recorded on paper. I wish I had more hands!

That I live vicariously through all my heroines and characters! I get to be as old or as young, as beautiful or ugly, live now or in the future or past or even in another world altogether. It's so much fun!

Be a storyteller first, foremost, and forever! The quality of writing happens with work and diligence, but I don't care how musical the words sound on paper, if there's no story, there's nothing'.

Book 2 of the Guard series (Guarded Heart), and this one is definitely telling itself. I'm having a hard time keeping up!

I come from a family of storytellers & writers. My sister (who is also a published author) and I started making up stories when we very little kids out in the backyard! Then it just progressed until by the time I was 16 I starting writing some of them down.

I'm a lit junkie and I always re-imagine some of my favorite works. This is a highly reimagined mashup of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. Then the story took off, and I'm having a hard time keeping up with it!
