INTERVIEW & GIVEAWAY WITH THE DELICIOUS HEATHER FROM DECADENT PUBLISHING

Thank you for joining The Bakin_Goddesses for such a HUGE PARTAY! We hope you have as much fun as we do.  We know the readers will enjoy getting to know a little bit about you with these little questions.  It’s all about fun this time so let your hair down, grab your favorite drink, put your feet up on the desk and have some fun with these. (Shauni) *Grabbing a drink looking at Kim* Oh you meant them Sorry *laughing*

Thanks for having me! 

Hey everybody, welcome Heather! She is from a different aspect of your reading world.  We've gone from the authors, to a couple of the cover artists (yummy) but Heather here, works with Decadent Publishing.  She is as crazy as Shauni and I and I have had a lot of fun getting to know her.  Again, just like Belinda, she came through for us and helped us out when we didn't have anybody on the schedule and she came through BIG for you guys!  So, without anymore gibberish from me, let's get to know Heather from Decadent Publishing.

Cats or Dogs? ( Hey what about Birds and lizards? )
I actually like both. Cats are independent and I had an awesome 19lb. kitty named Boba Fet who died of diabetes. BUT dogs are also wonderful companions. Don’t tell hubby, but I’m about to go adopt one!

Salty or Sweet (This of course means when you’re “playing” because this isn’t an adult Goddess site for nothin’)?
Yum to both.
Chocolate?
No. Because I ate too many Lindt balls at Christmas. Darn it.

Kimberly looks at Shauni with a questioning glance? Why the hell would anybody eat lint balls? *Shauni kicks Kim under the table and whispers* "Not LINT balls Kimberly; LINDT balls.  You know, with the chocolate?* Laughing out loud at Shauni "Yes, I know what she meant, I just thought I'd throw a little humor in there.  Don't tell me you all weren't thinking it!"

Vampires or Werewolves?
WHY are these all either/or? We are ‘Decadent’. We like to indulge.  (BOTH! Definitely both!)

Fireman or Cowboy?

Again, chose ‘hot’ and ‘hotter’? I dated a fireman, though, and he was very delish. We’re debuting a Western line in February, Desiree Holt is one of the launch authors (she knows something about dirty cowboys!), as well as Ann Mayburn, Camryn Rhys, and Barbara Sheridan. Spurs are sexy.

Hairy or Smooth (Body hair)?

I like some man-scaping.

Clean Shaven or Stubble? 

Depends on the situation. Ok, stubble.

Diet or Regular soda (Or....if you’re like me, Kimberly, you’re stuck on Powerade Zero)?

Powerade Zero is yummy (I like the blue stuff), but the only diet soda I drink is Zevia. It’s the soda with Stevia in rather than aspartame.

Fruit or Veggies (Or Chocolate)?

Fruit dipped in chocolate.

Coffee or tea (Or Chocolate)?

Regularly I drink coffee, but LOVE a good tea house girl date.

The song that is most annoying when it sticks in your head -- sorry had to do it.

Chi-chi-chi-CHIA!

Apple or Microsoft?

I am Gates and my business partner is Jobs. 

Drama or Comedy or anything with Gerard Butler -- What Shauni? He’s Hawt!  What Kim?*wiping drool* I love Gerard but what about Jason Momoa ooooohhh Or Charlie Hunnan?  OOH Shauni! Charlie!!! We Loves Us some Jax! SOA! All the way baby!  I guess we should let the guest answer the question though, huh? (tv, movies)? 

UUmmm, you pushed my drool button! Gerard is my screensaver. It was the first picture on my computer and my wonderful husband put it there for me. What? He’s not stupid. He knows what I think about when I see it!

Spring or Fall (Fall -- cuz I can beat him to the floor! *snickering*)?

Fall. Although, in SoCal the colors come in December.

Sedan or Sports Car (Hey! I live in Texas! Where’s the truck suggestion???)?

’67 Mustang Fastback. 

Tattoos or no Tattoos?

Tats are pretty sexy on many men. 

Favorite splurge food -- Tacos, Pizza, Cheeseburger (Or Chocolate peanut butter swirl FUDGE)????

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. 

What dish do you make perfectly?

German pancakes (apfelpfannkuchen)  Bless you --- oh, I thought she sneezed.

What dish have you messed up completely by burning or over cooking it?

Almost everything imaginable. I’m a decent cook, but easily distracted.

Can you give us your favorite Christmas cookie recipe? If not the recipe, your favorite cookie, we’ll find the recipe.

I have a fudge recipe.

1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (divided).

1 bag Reese’s peanut butter chips

6oz semi-sweet chips

2 tsp. vanilla (divided)

Put ½ the can of SCM in a bowl with chocolate chips. Microwave for 45seconds, stir, microwave for 30 seconds and stir in vanilla. Chips should be melted. Repeat with peanut butter chips. Pour over top of chocolate layer. Let set for a few minutes, score, and refrigerate. 

Now is the part where we let you do some shameless self promotion of your books.  Please tell the readers something about what you’ve currently planning or what has just been released.  We’re shameless when it comes to pimpin’ new stuff!  

We have several new releases, including everything from a lesbian sci-fi romance in our 1Night Stand series, paranormal novels, contemporary shorts, and more. We publish non-fiction and mainstream, too. We have a wonderful historical novel coming this spring from Bill and Susan Hayes, better known as Doug and Julie on Days Of Our Lives.

On the horizon, Decadent is opening a new imprint for our sweet romance, Young Adult, and mainstream called Bono Books. We’re launching a western romance line (set in the fictitious town of Freewill, Wyoming) in February and hosting a writing contest for it.  http://westernescapedecadentpublishing.blogspot.com/p/shooting-star-writing-contest.html We’ll also be launching a sci-fi romance line a few months later. Both are world-building lines and readers will have the pleasure of immersing themselves in new environments, getting to know characters and experience different authors, some familiar names and some possibly new to them. You’ve got to visit the Freewill blog and see our sheriff. He’s kind of gorgeous. http://westernescapedecadentpublishing.blogspot.com 

Can you please show the readers some of your favorite work? Feel free to shamelessly promote your achievements here because we, as Goddesses, totally would!  

We’re very proud of is the 1Night Stand series. It was conceived by Valerie Mann, Kate Richards and Olivia Starke and has grown from 3 books to over 60 released or contracted stories in a wide variety of romance genres. All are short stories with an HEA or HFN and almost invariably garner 4 and 5star reviews. http://decadent1nightstand.blogspot.com/

One thing we love to promote is our Read For a Cure program. All publisher profits from one book per month benefits the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, something close to our hearts. http://www.decadentpublishing.com/index.php?cPath=90&osCsid=tlpti44s87q0r7d3s8ng3hkkl4

We’ve been nominated by a few different sites for ePublisher of the Year, including Love Romances Café, Authors After Dark, and Preeditors and Editors. 

You can find our new releases in our usually-bi-weekly newletter. Our latest is here. http://conta.cc/uDSO1s
