Alec Kaden: Endless as the Rain @mskosciuszko #RLFblog #romanticsuspense
Endless as the Rain Interview with Alec Kaden
This interview is designed for your hero or heroine to tell
readers about himself or herself.Tell us about
yourself, please.Alec Kaden. Yes, one of those Kadens, the organized crime
family. My business is legitimate; I don’t give a shit if you don’t believe it.
The good thing about having money is I can hire people who aren’t insufferable
to keep the cretins away from me. I can’t exactly beat the hell out of people
who get in my way like Father did. Apparently, I was often in Father’s way.What inner doubt
causes you the most difficulty?It’s not doubt so much as Father’s ever-present commanding
voice. Even in his grave, he can reach out and choke me. But I’m thankful to
him for keeping me in my place.In the story world your author created, explain what it is
you fear most and why.I fear not being able to keep my word to Adriane.Tell us about your
significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.While there is someone to whom I’m faithful, I don’t have
the right to call her my significant other.What would that
person say about you?My hope is that she never knows me well enough to form an
opinion, that she never discovers what she means to me. I would never wish that
upon her.What is your family
like?My mother died during my birth, and Father is also dead.What special skills
do you rely on?I know how to make money, a skill I gained from my education
at Oxford. My greatest talent, though, I gained from Father. Just like with
him, people know better than to fuck with me.About the Writer
M.S. Kaye has several published books
under her black belt. A transplant from Ohio, she resides with her husband
Corey in Jacksonville, Florida, where she tries not to melt in the sun. Find
suspense and the unusual at www.BooksByMSK.com.Why did you choose
this character for the interview today?Alec is the most complex and intriguing character I’ve ever
written or read.Are any sequels
planned for this book?The prequel will be released this winter, I’m working on the
final draft of the sequel, and then I’ll start on the final book.What would your
readers be surprised to learn about you?I’m a fourth degree black belt and certified instructor of
Songahm Taekwondo, and I have a motorcycle license.Is there anything
you’d like to say to your readers?Thank you for reading my stories, for being a part of
something I hold so passionately dear.About the Book
Title Endless as the RainGenre Romantic SuspenseAuthor M.S. KayeBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13When Adriane Graham discovers a city councilman is part of
an embezzlement ring, she doesn’t realize her life is in danger until Alec Kaden,
the son of a mobster, kidnaps her—not to kill but to protect her. But why? And

and find the key to her own.Buy This Book

Celisse from Fight Princess by @mskosciuszko #RLFblog #romanticsuspense
M.S. Kaye shares details about the creation of Celisse
Blalock in the book Fight Princess.About the Book
Title Fight PrincessGenre romantic suspenseAuthor M.S. KayeBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13Things
aren’t what they seem. Don’t get involved.Celisse is too headstrong to
listen. Her best friend’s boyfriend is dead, and she does not heed Cullen’s
warning, slipped to her in a note as he’s being arrested for the murder.Cullen tries to keep Celisse out of danger and also tries
to avoid her, both unsuccessfully. He can’t deny his feelings for her anymore,
but he knows he can’t have her. If she ever discovered the truth about his
past, she’d surely hate him.While struggling with her intense feelings for Cullen,
Celisse uses her skills as an ex-prosecutor to investigate, all while
continuing to fight for Ogden, the organizer of an underground fight ring. She
eventually realizes things are connected—the ring, Ogden, Cullen, the murder,
and herself. She races to uncover the truth before she’s arrested or becomes
the next victim—or perhaps, the next culprit.Introducing Celisse Blalock
Name: Celisse BlalockAge: around 30Gender: femaleBirthplace: ChicagoProfession: former attorney, currently office assistantEthnicity/Species (if not human): whiteDescribe his/her body build, skin tone, height and weight.
Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars: light brown,
long hair with loose curls; strong, very fit buildWho is the
significant other in your character’s life?No significant other at the beginning—read the book to find
out if that changes.Tell us about this
character, please.Celisse was born into an affluent, high-society family. But
that wasn’t for her. She is a licensed attorney and worked in the District
Attorney’s office, but she had to give that up. Now, she works in an
administrative position for a bitchy, stupid boss. She has no man in her life
and has never been in a serious relationship, which has a lot to do with her
family, though she has no contact with them. She’s beautiful without trying,
and extremely intelligent.If you could only
hear this character’s voice (but not see her) what characteristic would
identify her?No nonsenseHow educated is this
character?Licensed attorneyIs the character
book-smart, self-taught, widely-experienced?Combination of book-smart and self-taughtDoes she scrape by,
live comfortably, live extravagantly?She makes little money but lives simply and well within her
means.What is your
character’s viewpoint on wealth?It’s overrated.Are any of her skills
a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?She’s an extremely strong fighter, but let’s few people know
it.Does this character
see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?She sees things black-and-white, sometimes to her detriment.How do others
perceive your character based upon looks, and is this assumption accurate?People assume she’s delicate and ladylike. While she may be
ladylike at times, she’s not delicate. She doesn’t break; she does the
breaking.Does your character
care about what others assume about her?Nope.About Your Writer
Why do you think your
writer chose to write about you?She appreciates strong women.What do you wish your
writer had not told others about you?I would’ve preferred to keep my entire story to myself.What other character
from your book do you think your writer should write a book about, and why?Ogden’s story would be interesting, but that won’t happen.Why do you think your
writer loves to write?She has control issues.Buy This Book
