Today at FAR, we have the pleasure of speaking to Renee George.

Hi Renee and welcome! The readers are eagerly waiting to hear some insights about Renee.

Thank you, Linda!

Viva Los Regalos: Double Dawn sounds like a great title; why not tell us something about the blackjack dealers?

In Los Regalos, two of the black jack dealers at the Platinum Nugget are hume-shapeshifters, Nigel Tennon and Pacer Prism. Both men are from a unique species that can morph into any human form, plus their body parts are very flexible and accomadating. :) Nigel is all light and rainbows to Pacer's darkness and any visitor to Los Regalos would be lucky to have either of them, or both!

Beast 5: Rock the Line, sounds interesting about a magical powerful child, would you like to give us a little info on this one, too?

The Beast 5: Rock the Line is the conclusion to The Beast series. In it, Nathan Greer is shot to the past, then twenty years into the future where he finds out how powerfully dangerous his mortal vampire daughter can be. She has taken over Kansas City and rules the vampires with an iron fist. Nathan's lover Guillermo Perez has become angry and withdrawn, his blood-bonded servant, Tyrsgard Madds, has gone insane, and his only real ally is Nadine, the vampire who viciously turned him. The future is bleak, with everyone Nathan loves dying around him. If he can't figure out how to get back to his present time and change the course of events, vampire existence as he knows it is doomed.

Do you find it hard to find ideas to come up with in your stories?

Ideas are easy. It's getting them all down and fully flushed out that can be hard.

What do you think about Internet publishing and E-Books?

I love it. E-books have revolutionized how paranormal romance/ erotic books have evolved. It's also opened the doors to many really great authors who would other wise go unrepresented.

Do you spend much time on researching any of your stories?

I research the crap out of my stories. Especially if I'm not super familiar with the subjects I'm trying to incorporate. Plus, I'm always in student mode. I love learning new things. It's what I miss most about college.

Which of your books do you feel is the best you have written?

Wow, that's a difficult question. I'd say The Beast 4: Soul Tripping is one of my favorites. Not so sure it's the best, but I really liked the complexity of the plot, along with the character development that occurred in the book.

If you could meet any famous person in the world who would it be and why?

I've already met Charlaine Harris and I nearly passed out with excitement in the process. I'd love to meet her again (and hopefully not feel so dumbstruck). I really respect her writing. I think she has a unique way of making characters, settings, and plot lines feel believable and real.

Do you have to go through many drafts/edits to get it polished just right?

I go through a couple of edits with my editor on a manuscript. Changeling Press is wonderful in that the editing process doesn't stop with the author/ editor dynamic. They use proofers and line editors beyond the initial editing. After, the proofed copies are sent back to the author to approve, or make further changes. No publishing house is every going to get a 100% error free manuscript (print or e-pub), because unlike our characters, we're human.

Is there any book that you have read that has left a lasting impression?

Many, many. :) There are so many authors who write in such a way that I'm thinking about their stories long after I put the book down. Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, Michele Bardsley, Carl Hiaasen, Dakota Cassidy, Laurell K Hamilton, J. R. R. Tolkien, Emma Ray Garrett, R. A. Salvatore, David Eddings, P. D. James, Mary Janice Davidson, Harlan Coben, Katie Macalister, Amy Tan, Janet Evanovich, Lacey Savage, and the list could go on, but I won't. (As you can tell, my taste in books is pretty eclectic.)

Now I'm not saying that every book that these authors write are gold, or that I've read every book they've ever written, but what I am saying is that I can recite characters, plot, and something about a book that each of them have written that has really moved me and stayed with me long after I put the book down.

If you could be any animal which one would you choose?

Human. :) And if I couldn't be human, I'd be a lion. They are beautiful, graceful, and powerful.

Do you have a favorite late night snack?

Ramen noodles, pork flavor. It's total comfort food for me.

Is there a household chore you really hate doing?

Can I say "all household chores?" I hate housework with a passion. But, I think the chore I hate the most is laundry.

You receive a phone call one morning from a huge publishing house who wishes to sign you to write 12 books in one year, will you accept the contract to give them a book a month?

Uh, no. For one, I know I couldn't write that many novels in a year. Four books, maybe. Two books, certainly. But 12 books in a year, there's just no way.

Renee, can you share a myspace, or your website, even any loops that you might belong with us today?

My website is romance-the-night.com. I have a myspace at myspace.com/rgeorge2005.
