You’re in for a special treat today, dear readers!
Not only has the lovely Lady Evelyn Hurstine, the heroine from Great and Unfortunate Desires, graciously agreed to an interview, I have the privilege of presenting the fabulous 10-book Tempted By His Touch boxed set, AND, there’s a Rafflecopter giveaway too!
I know, so much good stuff in one place is overwhelming!
Let’s check out the interview first, shall we?
Did you ever think that your life would end up being in a book?
No. It really shouldn’t have been either but she persuaded me to her way of thinking. And darling Tristan, my husband, so insisted.
What are your favorite scenes in your book: the action, the dialog or the romance?
Oh dear, I believe that is a bit personal to ask. Oh, all right. The romance.
Did you have a hard time convincing your author to write any particular
scenes for you?
It was more like trying to convince the woman NOT to write them!
Do you infiltrate your writer’s dreams?
Not her dreams but I understand I interfered with her time with her horse. I find that a bit odd myself, but I’d never tell her that!
What do you like to do when you are not being actively read somewhere?
I have the children. We have three that keep me rather busy.
Are you happy with the genre your writer has placed you in?
I couldn’t think of a better time to live than in England. And the 1870s is such a prosperous time, very modern – don’t you agree?
Do you like the way the book ended?
Very much so
What do you wear when you go to sleep?
What embarrasses you?
People learning of my past. I believed for years I was ruined, rather disastrously so, and the story still sends chills through me though Tristan always reassures me I was wrong.
What’s your favorite thing to do on a rainy Sunday?
What turns you on?
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I am a morning person. It’s so lovely, each day a new start.
What’s your favorite animal?
I adore Italian grey-hounds, though Tristan doesn’t want them in the house. I think he fears the children will coddle them into not being dogs.

About Emma Locke:
Emma Locke is a writer and engineer living in the Pacific Northwest, where she loves hiking with her dog, hot yoga and riding out the annual 330 days of rain. Hiking and yoga give her time to plot, the lack of sun makes for perfect writing weather, and as for her day job, the dichotomy seems to work: her analytic side ensures her passionate, satisfying love stories don’t mulch under her bed, and her author side forces her to keep writing more.
