Rae: Thank you so much for hanging out with me today. If we were meeting at a coffee shop I’d be drinking a peppermint mocha with Coconut Milk. 🙂 ! What would you order?

Robyn: Large coke extra ice!

Rae: Congratulations on the production of The Christmas Carol.

Robyn: Thank you, it was awesome! My husband and I started a non profit theatre and we direct shows! Since I was an actor most of my life and my Hot Hubby still is, it’s a cool way to have fun and do something cool for our community!!

Rae: With the Christmas season upon us I hope that you and your family have a happy holidays. Do you have any traditions?

Robyn: We had a great holiday. Thank you! I hope you did too! We spend the holiday with family—both sides and we eat. A lot. Then we take naps and then eat more. Rinse and repeat.

Rae: For those who are not familiar with your work can you tell us a little bit your books. What an we expect to see on the bookshelves in 2017? Do you have any new series in the works that you can give us a tease?

Robyn: I write sexy, snarky, comedic paranormal romance and sexy, snarky, comedic contemporary romance! This year you will see more from all three of my series—Hot Damned, Shift Happens and Magic and Mayhem!!

I also have three Magic and Mayhem Kindle Worlds launching this year as well (February, June and October). This is a crazy awesome collection of amazeballs authors writing stories in my Magic and Mayhem World!

AND…..I’m going to spin one of my most popular and hotter than hell characters off into a side series. Yes, LOL, Satan will have a six book arc in the next two years! YAYAYAYAYAY!

Rae: With a bookshelf of contemporary, paranormal and Kindle Worlds, is it easy to keep characters from crossing over?

Robyn: It actually is easy. Each series is very different. The Hot Damned Series is primarily vampyres. Shift Happens Series is shifters (werewolves and dragons). The Magic and Mayhem Series is witches and the Handcuffs and Happily Everafters Series is real people…crazy real people—but no superpowers!

However, when I pop from series to series, I always have to look at my series bibles. Remembering names and eye color and little details is NOT my forte. I can’t even remember what I ate for breakfast…

Rae: I love your book covers, who designs them?

Robyn: I love my covers too!! Rebecca Poole designs my covers. She is outstanding at crawling into my brain and pulling out the crazy. I adore her and her wonderful talent!

Rae: Writing is a challenging task without any distractions. How do you find the time with a family and taking care of all the animals on your farm? By way, I think that’s so cool. Did you wake up one day and decide you wanted to buy a farm or was it something that you had been exposed to growing up?

Robyn: Well…I don’t sleep much for starters. I tend to write at night. I’ve also written many books in my car waiting for my kids at lacrosse/soccer/dance practice! All I need to write is quiet.

As for the farm, it’s something my husband and I love. I have a bad habit of collecting stray animals and a farm is a perfect place to indulge that addiction. LOL

Rae: It was so much fun having you here today!

Robyn: It’s been my pleasure. Thank you for having me!

BIO:

NYT and USA Today best selling author, Robyn Peterman writes because the people inside her head won’t leave her alone until she gives them life on paper. She writes snarky, sexy, funny paranormal and snarky, sexy, funny contemporaries. Her addictions include laughing really hard with friends, shoes (the expensive kind), Target, Coke Zero Cherry with extra ice in a styrofoam cup, bejeweled reading glasses, her kids, her super-hot hubby and collecting stray animals. A former professional actress, with Broadway, film and T.V. credits, she now lives in the south with her family and too many animals to count. Writing gives her peace and makes her whole, plus having a job where she can work in her underpants works really well for her.
