Ines writes books for strong women who suck at love. If you rocked

by vampires with souls alongside Buffy; if you need your scandalous fix from Olivia
Pope each week, then you’ll love her books!Aside from being a writer, professional reader, and teacher,
Ines is a very bad Buddhist. She sits in sangha each week, and while others are
meditating and getting their zen on, she’s contemplating how to use the teachings
to strengthen her plots and character motivations. Ines lives outside Washington,
DC with her two little sidekicks who are growing up way too fast.What is your go-to meal
when you dine out?Fish and chips. It’s really hard to mess up.Who is your “book
boyfriend” (that hottie you read about and drool over)?I have the biggest book boner on Kristin Cashore’s Po from “Graceling.”
He’s a gentle warrior. I love the interplay of those polar opposites.What’s your favorite hashtag
to watch on Twitter?#amwritingTell us about your favorite
toy as a child.I loved my Jem and The Hologram’s pink Roll’s Royce. I’m beyond
psyched that the live action film is coming to theaters soon.What are your hobbies?If I’m not reading, I’m hiking. Reading transports my mind to
another place. Hiking transports my body to another place.About the Book

Character Interview: Dawn – Reborn to Burn @TheAnnaDurand #RLFblog #PNR
Reborn to Burn
by Anna DurandThe character interview allows a hero or heroine to tell
readers about himself or herself. Today’s interview is with Dawn from Reborn to
Burn.Interview with Dawn
Tell us about yourself,
please.Until yesterday, I was a mummy who died 3,000 years ago in Ancient
Egypt. Scientists regenerated my body, though nobody knows how or why I woke up.
Since I have no memories of my previous life, I let my hero Jake name me. He chose
Dawn, because the Egyptians believed the dawn was a time of rebirth.What can you not do (but
need to do) during this story?I need to remember my first life, understand why I was reborn,
and escape from the scientists who are hunting me.What inner doubt causes
you the most difficulty?I feel I shouldn’t be alive; I’m an abomination, a freak with
DNA from frogs and microscopic creatures. Am I truly human again, or something more
sinister? The question haunts me.In the story world your
author created, explain what it is you fear most and why.I worry I’ll turn into a zombie or some other unnatural monster.
Jake says that’s ridiculous, but who knows? Hey, I’m a resurrected mummy girl, so
anything seems possible.Tell us about your significant
other, that person who makes living worthwhile.Thaat would be Jake Maxwell, the man who helped me break out
of Redeo Biotech. He claims he’s just a grad student, but I suspect he’s a secret
agent or maybe a superhero in hiding, given his talent for outsmarting the bad guys.
He doesn’t see a monster when he looks at me, just a woman — and he awakens desires
in me I never imagined existed.What would that person
say about you?Jake says I’m a woman, not a thing. He calls me beautiful, sexy,
and wonderful — and more importantly, he makes me feel that way.About the Writer
I’m an award-winning writer, a reader, a freelance librarian,
and an audiobook addict. I specialize in sexy, suspenseful paranormal romances.Why did you choose this
character for the interview today?Reborn to Burn, and whole Reborn series, is all about Dawn’s
journey. Jake undergoes a transformation, too, but the stories revolve around Dawn’s
literal rebirth and the questions swirling around her origins and nature. She is
a mystery — a woman with no memory, no name (until Jake christens her Dawn), and
no explanation for her awakening.When writing the book,
what did you discover about this character that surprised you?I uncovered a shocking secret about Dawn and what rebirth has
done to her, but I wouldn’t want to spoil the big surprise! I also learned she’s
willing to sacrifice herself to save Jake, which surprised Dawn, too.Are any sequels planned
for this book?Yes. Reborn to Burn is the second book in the Reborn series,
with Reborn to Die as the first one. The third installment, Reborn to Avenge, will
be published later this year.What genre(s) would you
like to write that you haven’t tried yet?I’d love to try historical romance and urban fantasy. I read
voraciously, and those are two of my favorite genres — after paranormal romance,
of course!About the Book
