Please welcome, Beth D. Carter!
Can you tell us a bit about you and how you got into writing?
I began reading my mother’s Harlequin Presents when I was like…11. She was very open minded about that stuff. I was enamored with the covers of beautiful women, handsome men, and wild adventures. Gradually, those stories began to permeate, and percolate, which led me to writing blurbs for books and stories I hadn’t written but were now in my head. When I was a teenager, I finished a book (writing in longhand) about a salon girl in the old west who’s rescued by a dashing cowboy. And then like a dummy, I threw it away because I thought it was horrible. I’ve since learned to NEVER throw any of my ideas away.
Did you always know you wanted to be an author?
My incredibly funny heroine, Vivi, from Shadow Obsession. She suffers from word-vomit. Whatever she thinks, she says.
I had such a fun time writing her because she’s so outside my normal heroines. I wouldn’t get a word in, but I’d love to hear her blabber about things.
Do you have any specific writing rituals?
Not really. I can write anywhere. I prefer writing in Starbucks because they have this vibe about the coffee houses that mesh with my writing mood. I also like listening to movie soundtracks (instrumental only) because that music was written to invoke emotions.
Can you give us a hint about any current or future projects you’re excited about?
I just finished up the last book in the Death Riders MC, titled Lady Death. The sequel to my football themed contemporary, Personal Foul, released titled Play Action Pass. I am writing another series called Deadly & Ruthless, and I’m calling this my villain era.
