1. What made you start writing romance as opposed to any other genre of literature?

The movie that inspired me to write (Gladiator) was in essence a romance…in between head lopping. I’m an action movie fan by nature and love incorporating those elements into my stories.

2. Why do you think romance continues to be a market leading genre?

Partly because I think more women than men read for pleasure and escape. They believe in love, and most romances give the reader a happily ever after…unless you’re reading a Nicolas Sparks novel.

3. In what way do you see romance today reflecting the way women’s role in society has changed?

Heroines written in romances today are empowered like their real world counterparts holding influential roles in society ranging from the military, science and medicine to the corporate world, and athletics. It really makes for interesting and diversified characters.

Today I’m spotlighting Rebekah Ganiere‘s debut paranormal romance, Dead Awakenings.

BLURB:

Evaine, a struggling New York theater student, enters an unsanctioned drug trial in an effort to pay bills. She awakens in a derelict hospital, chained to a bed with no memory of who she is, or how she got there. A band of pale skinned men, led by the gorgeous Luca, burst in, whisking her away to safety.

Once at Haven House, Evaine is introduced to The Family. Like them, she has become A Deader, a reanimated Undead.

Luca is hell-bent on stopping the experimentations, and killing those responsible. He has no time for a Newborn who is struggling to control her rages, hunger, and powers. Nor does he have the desire to deal with the feelings she’s awakening within him.

Despite their best efforts, Evaine and Luca find their connection intensifying when suddenly, she remembers not only who she is, but also her fiancé, Tristan; who is still looking for her.

Torn between her first love and her new heart’s desire, Evaine runs back to Tristan putting everyone in danger. When a rogue faction of Deaders, called Feeders, attempts to kidnap her, Luca suspects Evaine is the key to the experiments.

Can everyone band together to keep Evaine off the cutting table of those she escaped from? Or will second death tear her away from everyone, for good?

AUTHOR BIO

Rebekah grew up on both the east and west coasts and currently lives in the Los Angeles area. From the Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein to The Stand by Stephen King, Rebekah immersed herself in other people’s made up worlds. She began writing in junior high and then found she liked pretending to be other people’s characters in high school. Lettering in drama she went on to study theater in college as well. After college she continued acting till becoming a mom.

Little known facts about Rebekah: She’s a closet collector of Monster High Dolls. She’s also addicted to World of Warcraft and Diablo, which I’m sure helps when writing action scenes! And while most writers want to be in the writing cave, she and I are alike in that we like to be near the TV or listening to our favorite tunes. Rebekah enjoys strong female voices. A few of her favorites are Pink, Adele, and Beyonce.
