MARIE TUHART, ROMANCE AUTHOR

My guest today on Vintage Vonnie is erotic romance author, Marie Tuhart. Marie's brand or slogan is: Escape to an Erotic Fantasy. Welcome, Marie, and I'm glad to have you here today. Thanks for allowing me to ask you a few questions.

Jazzie wants to know, Got Kitties?

1.     1. What is your life like away from the computer? Tell us something about your household. Jazzie, my cat, wants to know if you have any kitty-pusses.

My life away from the computer is far from exciting, I have a day job as a project manager with a major telecommunications company. I don't have any kitty-pusses, sorry I'm allergic, but I still love them. 

2.       What is your writing schedule like?

Writing schedule?  What is that?  I don't have a set schedule, mainly because I write whenever I can.  On days I have to go into the office and not work from home, I'll write on my lunch time.  If I'm working from home, I'll write after my day job ends. 

3.       How do you research your storylines or locations?

I try to stick to locations I've visited if possible, if not, I use the internet to search out the cities. 

4.       What part of the writing process brings you the most pleasure? The most angst?

Writing the first draft usually brings me the most pleasure, because I'm learning about my characters and what they want in life.  Editing causes me the most angst, sometimes I want to bang my head against the desk.

5.       What are you currently working on?

I'm currently working on a contemporary romance, sexy but not erotic.

6.       For fun: Coffee or Tea?….favorite color?…favorite TV show?...favorite actor?...funny movies or tear jerkers?...sneakers, flip-flops or bare feet?...do you  listen to music when you write?

I drink both coffee and tea.  Favorite color is black.  Favorite TV show – that's hard, I don't watch that much TV, but when I do I watch: NCIS, NCIS LA, CSI, Hawaii 5-O, The Event, True Blood and Game of Thrones.  No favorite actor right now.  I like funny movies over tear jerkers.  Bare feet around the house.  I don't listen to music while I write, I usually have the TV on CNN but I don't really hear it.

7.       Tell us about your current release…or soon to be release.

My current release is Quick Silver Ranch: Saddle Up
