Welcome Emma Lai

I am super excited to have Emma Lai here today. I have read her books and they are great. Please enjoy this interview and giveaway.

1. Tell us a little about yourself? 
Well, I'm crazy--though I haven't been clinically diagnosed as such. I hear voices, and when I close my eyes, I witness snippets of other peoples' lives. Seriously. No joke. Where do you think I get all my stories from? :)And I'm also the mother of a precocious two-year old, who sleeps eight or less hours a night and has recently decided nap time is for losers. LOL! So, I'm even crazier than normal these days, but hey, he's great and his hugs and kisses fix all the problems of my world--thought that was supposed to be the other way around, but I'm not complaining if he's not.

2. You write multiple genres. Which is your favorite to write?
My favorite thing to write is action, regardless of genre. This is probably why I write paranormal, sci-fi, fantasy and erotic. All have action, and lots of it. I have to admit, I prefer the first three, but they require a lot of thinking to build believable worlds, so my erotic output is higher, for now.

3. Tell us a little about your latest release Riding Rodeo and don't leave out any details. There are two men on the cover!
The last person Amanda Goodson expected to walk into her bakery was Sean Cassidy, the bareback bronc rider who rode her hard one night and left without a good-bye the next day. Since then, she'd sworn off one-night stands and cowboys, but one look at the man she called Rodeo leaves her hankering for another ride. 

A nasty injury ended Sean's career and left him with nothing but time to contemplate past sins, especially the most damning one...walking out on Amanda, the one woman he couldn't forget. Eager to right the biggest mistake of his life, he finds Amanda--and learns he has competition. Never one to back down from a challenge, he offers to fulfill her darkest fantasy--taking two cowboys for a ride. 

When the dust settles, will Sean's plan to win Amanda's trust backfire or will she risk her heart for one more shot at Riding Rodeo?

4. What time of day do you write?
In long ago days, I used to get up and start writing first thing in the morning, sometimes even forgoing breakfast. I'd write all day, until hubby reminded me there was a real world. These days, I write in the afternoon. If I'm not completely exhausted and the boy has decided I don't have to play with him, then I'll even write in the evening. (Yes, my son dictates my life. :) )

5. How do you juggle being a mom and author?
From the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. I am mommy. If I'm lucky and my hubby, who owns his own business, doesn't have any jobs scheduled, then I get to be an author between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. However, if he's working then I only get to be an author between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.--my son's nap time. (Like I said, the kid dictates my life. :) )

6. Must you have snack while you craft a story?
If coffee counts as a snack, then yes! I'm trying to cut out snack food, since all my extra weight is turning into muscles thanks to toting 30 lbs of wriggly worm around. Soon, I'll be able to compete in amateur bodybuilding competitions. LOL!

7. Favorite holiday dish.
I honestly don't have one. Mashed potatoes are always good and salads and any kind of vegetable. :)

8. As tough as this is, what if your favorite book you've written?
It's almost always my most recent one. Writing has been an adventure for me. With each story, I learn new tricks of the trade and polish my skills. So, my absolute favorite is a fantasy adventure that's not even published yet because it's the most recent.

9. Finally, is there anything else you would like to share?
