Interview with Barbara Monajem, Author of TO RESCUE OR RAVISH?
I am delighted to have my chapter mate from the Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal Chapter of Romance Writers of America, Barbara Monajem, with me today to talk about her new historical romance, TO RESCUE OR RAVISH? Barbara grew up on the west coast of Canada among the mountains and cedar trees. She calls it a magic place which never lets go, and is pretty sure that magic is what started her writing stories. A world traveler, Barbara has lived in Oxford, England, Montreal, Canada, Georgia, and Louisiana, USA. Barbara succumbed to the magic of New Orleans, the inspiration for the funky little town of Bayou Gavotte, with its fetish clubs… and vampires… and who knows what else.

Barbara Monajem is Stalked by Magic
I can’t get away from magic in one form or another. I thought that when I branched out from paranormal into historical romance, there wouldn’t be any magic in my books. I already knew why I was writing contemporary paranormals – I wanted distance from real life. I thought Regency historicals would work the same way, because 200 years in the past is plenty of distance from today.
Apparently not. Magic is sneaky. In my very first Regency (unpublished and languishing in a virtual drawer hoping to be revised), an Irish tinker walked into the story. He seemed like a regular guy, but it turned out he had some fairy blood. Not that he did anything unusual in that story, but I could just tell, and in the sequel (also languishing in the drawer) his magic crept into the book. That very same story ended with the whisper of a ghost.
