Q&A with Nancy Gideon discussion

This thread is for the discussion of the books in my By Moonlight series. NO SPOILERS please!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series and though I hate to admit it I do not yet own or have not read Bound by Moonlight yet but it is definitely on my list of to buy and TBR!!!

Gasp! We'll have to do something about that, won't we? ;-) I hear you. If I tried to catch up to my TBR wish list, I would have to give up my writing or my 9-to-5 just to find the time...I wonder if I could live without my 9-to-5.

Oh the joyous thought of giving up 9-5 to do nothing but read. But then again I wouldn't be able to afford new books. =)

There's always that downside. And the health insurance. Sometimes I think I'm in my day job just for the health insurance.

will you get back to writing about max and ceecee or are you going to write about different people in each book ? Natasha

Yea I hear you on the insurance!!!! And I am with Natasha on her question... Is this the last book with Max and Ceecee? I really love the relationship you have built with them!!

The two books that are coming out, HUNTER OF SHADOWS 11-29-11 and SEEKER OF SHADOWS 6-26-12 feature new heroes and heroine but Max and Cee Cee are definitely in them as strong secondary characters and their past story and plot arcs are continued. Even though they aren't front and center, their story is still developing and the world created in their books is expanded. And I get to write mor scenes with them together! BONUS! I'd love to do future books with them as leads but that's up to my publisher...and reader demand.

Well where is your publishers suggestion box because I would like to demand!!!!! =)

What inspired you to write the moonlight series

I LOVE paranormal romances! Even before I wrote my Midnight vampire romance series, I was palying around with a werewolf book that never went anywhere. When a former editor asked if I'd consider writing a short paranormal, I remembered that long shelved proposal, got it out, dusted it off and submitted it. She loved the prologue but everything else had to go...the plot, the characters, everything!So I guess you could say desperation inspired me. I had to come up with a completely new concept so I just started from the end of the prologue with a police investigation at the scene and the book wrote itself from that point. In fact it developed so fast and so LARGE, it was no longer suitable for that offering to buy editor. That's when I bumped into Micki Nuding, whom I knew from my days at Avon. She was now a senior editor at Pocket. Did she like dark paranormal? Oh, yeah. By then I had the first three books of the series completed and was working on the fourth. Now we've just finished up with book 6 of the By Moonlight series.

Will there be a book about Oscar in the future?

Hmmmm, a YA spin off. You never know. He definintely has book potential and is set up smack dab in the middle of the Shifter world I've created and is featured in HUNTER OF SHADOWS. Now I can't STOP thinking about it.
