Favourite Author Friday - Monette Michaels



How about a little QandA with the always entertaining Monette Michaels?


Are you usually late, early or right on time?
I am early, usually very early. I cannot abide being late.


What is your favourite part of the human face? Why?
Eyes. You can tell so much about how a person feels by just looking at their eyes.  It's also easier to spot liars that way. :) I'm a lawyer. Never lie to your lawyer especially if they can read your facial expressions. 

What song gets the most play on your IPod right now?
The Sounds of Silence
by Disturbed. I also like the original by Simon and Garfunkel.

What was the last thing you ate?
Steak and Shake Garlic Burger with cole slaw – and it was greasy and yummy and I will pay for it tomorrow, I am sure.  But I'd do it again.

What is your perfect pizza?
A thin crust, no sauce, just some olive oil and garlic, layered with buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, grilled chicken, and basil. Now, I'm hungry for that and I just had the Steak and Shake burger.

What cheers you up?
Reading for enjoyment.

What is your favourite book?
Okay, I have read a lot of books.  Still read a lot of books. I own a lot of books and, no, I am not giving them up. I don't care what that Japanese organizing chick says.  If I had to list one book – aww, kill me now – I can't list one.  So, I will tell you that the book that most inspired me to write what I write is Mary Stewart's
The Moonspinners

What is the longest you have gone without sleep?
I once went almost 36 hours without sleep.  Bad return flight from Hawaii thru San Francisco and lots of cancelled flights later we finally made it home to Indiana.  I cannot sleep on planes or on airport floors.  Yeah, I'm picky.

What is your favourite midnight snack?
I call that dinner since I don't go to bed until around 4 am.  And I usually eat crackers and cheese with slices of apples for that late night meal.

Who is the first person you call when you have a bad day?
My hubby.

Who is the last person you argued with?
My hubby – it was over what to clean his car's backup camera with. He didn't listen to me and it is still somewhat smeared.

What TV show do you secretly enjoy?
No, secret – I love cooking shows.  All of them.

Former Prime sex surrogate Susa Anghard has never been off her planet, let alone out of the Cejuru solar system. While she isn’t naive about men and what they want, she isn’t prepared for the predatory males who now have her in their sights. When she’s kidnapped on her way to a galactic rim jump station to visit her cousin Borac, she has no expectations of being rescued.

She vows to free herself or die trying.

When Borac Anghard asks Damon Martin to intercept his cousin Susa’s transport and escort her to their jump station, Damon agrees. When he arrives to meet Susa’s ship, he finds she’s been kidnapped by Dorian mercenaries. He goes in hot pursuit and prays he finds her before she’s delivered to the person who paid for the kidnapping.

He has vowed to save her.

When Damon catches up with the kidnappers, he hadn’t expected to find the resourceful Susa in the act of getting away. And he really hadn’t expected to be so attracted to her. An attraction that could go nowhere—she was his business partner’s cousin and Damon still wasn’t over losing the only woman he’d ever loved.

Take one alpha-male with a slightly broken heart, add in one Prime female finding her courage and self for the first time—throw them together in close quarters in a trip across the galaxy and love will find a way.
