Please help us give a warm welcome to Lorelei Confer this week! Lorelei is here to share her contemporary western romance, A Cowboy’s Sweet Spot that is included in the Romances on the Range. Welcome, Lorelei! We are all excited to hear more about A Cowboy’s Sweet Spot.
Q&A with Lorelei Confer:
Which genre or genres do you write or prefer to write? And why?
I write romantic suspense. I started writing in the fourth grade and then diaries and journals about real life, glum as it was in rural PA. Then I grew up and wrote about feelings and emotions and what if something terrible happened. A few years ago, I tried writing plain contemporary romance but got stuck about five short chapters in; I added suspense and the Saddle Creek series was started.
Who influenced you the most in deciding to become a writer?
My fourth grade teacher, my seventh grade teacher, my eleventh gr….mostly teachers. It’s what I excelled in. And also it was a way to get my angst about adulting, men, war, etc. out and on paper.
What gets your creative juices flowing?
Thinking about my current wip. Currently, I’m working on the 5th book in the Saddle Creek series; the Sheriff’s story. I started writing it in pieces while writing the other four stories in the series but when I sat down to write, I’m a pantster, (writing by the seat of my pants) the story took and an entirely different direction.
Do you have a favorite cartoon character? Why?
I’ve always loved the west and “shoot ‘em up cowboys.” My brother and I, as children, would play Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. And then I remember Mighty Mouse (really dating myself here) he always swooped in and saved the day.
Who would you love most to meet ‘in person’ and why?
I love Sam Elliott; such a handsome and versatile actor but I think I’d like to Talk to Tom Sellick. I’ve admired his long term marriage and family-comes-first attitude.
If you had an unexpected free day what would you do with it?
Read and nap, much like Easter day. Lol
What are you working on now?
I have five releases this year: two in the Deadly series: Deadly Homecoming and Deadly Gamble, two in the Saddle Creek series: Moonlight Kisses and MugShots and A Christmas Romance and then I have a short story, a spin off from the Saddle Creek series, A Cowboy’s Sweet Spot, is a part of the Romances on the Range.
The two Deadly releases are available now at Amazon for $.99 and Fr$$ for KU. A Cowboy’s Sweet Spot is a part of the Romances on the Range, also $.99 at Amazon, and debuts April 14th with a huge Facebook release party 1pm-10pm. You’ll meet authors like Desiree Holt, Nicole Morgan, Krista Ames, Amber Daulton, and many more. There will be games, contests, prizes and lots of fun. Here’s the link to the party: https://www.facebook.com/events/642236899940404/
Moonlight Kisses and MugShots is the Sheriff’s story in the Saddle Creek series and plans to debut mid-August.
And then there’s the second Christmas story in the Saddle Creek Christmas Romance, where all the characters from the series share a special Christmas together and each couple learns the true meaning of Christmas.
I’m also working on another Deadly book, Deadly Intuition, but I’m still in the research process for that one.
I definitely have my work cut out for me, not just the writing and the editing but also the promo. It seems to take more and more time with each new release.
