1. Tell us a little bit about your current release, Rock Hard.
OC: Rock Hard is the second book in the series, “Sinners on Tour”. In this installment, the vocalist of Sinners, Sed Lionheart, is reunited with the fiancĂ©e who dumped him two years ago. He’s still carrying a torch for her. Big time. Jessica Chase hasn’t exactly gotten over Sed either. When they bump into each other, sparks fly, tempers flare, passion ignites and they have to learn to love each other for real this time.
2. Has your life changed significantly since becoming a published writer?
OC: YES! I have less time to write now that I’m published. I know that sounds strange, but between promotion, editing, updating websites, maintaining an online presence and interacting with fans (LOVE that part), the time I have to write is seriously crunched. Do people recognize me on the street, chase me down and hound me for autographs? Erm, no.
3. What song would best describe your life?
OC: Manic Monday by The Bangles. Not metal at all, I know, but lately my life feels like one long string of never ending Mondays. I’m ready for Sunday now. I need a fun day. An I don’t have to run day.
4. Is there anything special you do to get in the mood to write?
OC: I listen to music. Rock and metal, of course. Going to concerts always puts me in the mood to write as well. I love live music!
5. Please share with us your future projects and upcoming releases.
OC: I’m currently finishing up the Sinners on Tour series. There will be a book for each of the five members of Sinners. After that? I’m not sure what I’ll do next. If there’s enough demand for more rock star erotic romance, I’d like to do another series about the member’s of Exodus End. You’ll meet one of them in Rock Hard. Yummy Dare Mills. Sigh.... I just love those guitarists. Though vocalists are pretty hot. And bassists. And drummers. Yeah, I’ve got it bad. Feed my inner groupie.
ROCK HARD BY OLIVIA CUNNING – IN STORES APRIL 2011
A Sinners on Tour Novel
Sinner’s lead singer, Sed, had his heart shredded when Jessica left him to pursue her dreams, so when she dances her way back into his life, he's not sure he's ready for her brand of pain, or pleasure, again. When she convinces Sed to engage in a benefits with benefits relationship, things seem to be going his way, until one of his fans catches their explicit public display of affection on film and posts it all over the internet. Will Jessica ever trust Sed again? And has Sed become the man of Jessica’s dreams or is he just posing to get what he wants?

Hi, everyone!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question, Chele.
Jon Mallory is a secondary character in both Jace's and Eric's books. I'm not a fan of his. Just sayin'...
well then...there is sooo much i will find out...bad boy with no redeeming qualites...so sad, poor Eric (his best friend) & Jace (for taking his spot)...well i am sure i will not like him either....
ReplyDeleteLoved it! When does Jace's book come out. Can't wait.

Can't wait to read this, the playlist on your website is awesome.
ReplyDeleteBoth Backstage Pass and Rock Hard were just brilliant! I (probably annoyingly but oh well because I LOVED these books) encouraged all my fellow book enthusiast friends to read these and have heard nothing but awesome reviews from them as well! Smoking hot, sexy as sin rock stars... bring.it.on!

Great interview! Maniac Monday is a good song and I would say that it covers more than Mondays. I wouldn't have thought that becoming a published author would give you less time to write. But your books are awesome, keep up the good work!

I loved Backstage Pass.
ReplyDeleteI live in Lincoln and was shocked to read The Sinners were playing the Lied Center. If I see you in Nebraska I'll ask for an autograph. Give you a rockstar moment. =)
