I love to camp. Our RV is a 38 foot Durango Gold fifth wheel. My favorite place so far is Rocky Mountain National Park. So many things to see and do. Beautiful landscape and trails.
Tada! Here’s your float. Oh, I can’t wait to see the Rockies. Any pictures I’ve seen have been gorgeous. Here’s a link to the website www.nps.gov/romo/index.htm Now that we’re all settled, tell us about your latest project. I know you have lots of books but this is a new release which is exciting.
A WITCH’S QUANDARY. Secondary character, Gale, popped into A Magic Redemption (5th book in A Demon’s Witch Series) the niece of powerful witch, Erin, and her husband King of the Faries, Tiarnan, in Ireland. She had an established apothecary business when she met Dillon from a prestigious family in Scotland. He is the son of the head of a prominent law firm in Scotland that had stood for over 100 years. Reputation impeccable. But treachery and desire for power undermined the family’s long standing firm. How could I not tell her story? That’s how A Witch’s Quandary came to be.
Exciting, I can’t wait to read it. I enjoyed your One Scoop or Two book Chocolate Raspberry Magic. Your writing draws the reader in. Do you have something else you’re working on?
Yep, I’m working on AN ANGEL’S WYLDER ASSIGNMENT. It’s part of the multi-author Wylder West series by The Wild Rose Press. It’s my first try at historical, timetravel, paranormal romance/mystery. Wish me luck. It’s almost done. Had a lot of research required. LOL Also a Christmas Cookie tale. It’s in the development stages, a few chapters written.
You’re not an over-achiever at all are you? I hear the Wylder West books are wonderful LOL. Do you have a tagline or life motto?
Remember the Magic for Happily Ever After!
“I have the soul of a Gypsy; the heart of a Hippy; the Spirit of a Wolf, and I don’t howl alone. Join me?”
Let’s all give a howl for Tena. Who are your inspirations for writing? Or would you like to give a shout-out to anyone or their books?
A combination of Molly Harper, Deborah Harkness, and Nora Roberts were my inspirations.
Do you have any tips, tricks, or anything you specialize in that you would share with others?
Write from the heart. Don’t let anyone try to try to tell you what you should do. They can give suggestions but ultimately it’s your story to tell. Always continue to learn your craft. If more than one person gives you the same suggestion, give it consideration. Take care of yourself, physical and mental health.
Great advice. Now for some fun questions
- Favorite childhood book? Or writing that inspired you to become an author. Trixie Beldon books. I read them all and if I didn’t like the ending, I’d rewrite it to my liking. LOL
- If you could only choose one song to play every time you walked into a room for the rest of your life, what would it be? Fight Song by Rachel Platten or Roar by Katy Perry.
- If you could eat anything in the world right now, what would it be? Pizza! My favorite food group. LOL
- Worst household chore? Cleaning the house. I wish I could have a house like I created for HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC
- Most campers play board games. What games do you like? Song Burst (Guess it comes from being a DJ on a Classic Rock radio station.) Dominos and Cribbage. Though my hubby cheats at both. LOL
- Who is the most interesting person you’ve met and talked with? Anne Hillerman, author. She is the daughter of Tony Hillerman. The stories she told about her father, his travels and relationships with the American Indians he wrote about. She continued his tales after his death. Anne was a very interesting person.
- What’s the most amazing natural occurrence you’ve witnessed? All the natural phenomenon in Yellowstone National Park. Last time we were there, we found the asphalt was melting. Kinda scary! Huh?
Tena, thank you so much for visiting the Campfire. Before you go, could you give us a peek at your newest book and maybe some information about where to find out more about A Witch’s Quandary and where to find you?
A Broken Engagement leads to the discovery of stolen magic and malice.
www.amazon.com/Witchs-Quandary-Demons-Witch-Book-ebook/dp/B095291TGN
Gale’s engagement is off because she refuses to leave her thriving business in Ireland to follow Dillon to Scotland. Her family and friends are on the emerald isle. Yet, when Dillon returns with the whole story and asks for her help, she must follow her heart.
Becoming a Solicitor, then partner or barrister in the Dunlop Law Firm was never Dillon’s dream. Now it’s his nightmare. Called back to Scotland, his father demands he take his rightful place in the business or be disowned and disinherited. But something is terribly amiss in the firm and family.
During Gale and Dillon’s investigation, they discover the enforcer for the Demon Overlord is also delving into rumors of the firm’s illegal activities. Magic has been stolen, someone is being blackmailed, and a member of the Witch’s council is corrupt. If Gale and Dillon want a life together in Ireland, they have to unearth the secrets that threaten to destroy Dunlop Law and his family in Scotland.
Tena Stetler is a best selling, award winning author of paranormal romance. She has an over-active imagination, which led to writing her first vampire romance as a tween to the chagrin of her mother and delight of her friends. After many years as a paralegal, then an IT Manager, she decided to live out her dream of pursuing a publishing career.
With the Rocky Mountains outside her window, she sits at her computer surrounded by a wide array of witches, shapeshifters, demons, faeries, and gryphons, with a Navy SEAL or two mixed in telling her their tales. Her books tell stories of magical kick-ass women and mystical alpha males that dare to love them. Well, okay there are a few companion animals to round out the tales.
Colorado is home; shared with her husband of many moons, a brilliant Chow Chow, a spoiled parrot and a forty-five-year-old box turtle. When she’s not writing, you can find her kayaking, camping, hiking, biking or just relaxing in the great Colorado outdoors.
