Tonight's Countdown to Christmas guests are authors Caroline McCall and Eileen Gormley, who collectively write erotic fiction under the pen name Evie Hunter, who have joined me for a festive fun Q&A.
What’s your earliest or favourite Christmas memory?
Eileen: Waiting up all night long, and sneaking down to the sitting room to see if Santa has come yet. Getting an old-fashioned rocking horse and refusing to get off it.
Caroline: Getting a rocking horse for Christmas when I was about four. I called him Neddy. It snowed that year too, which was great. I remember trying to catch the snowflakes on my tongue.
What are you looking forward to most this Christmas?
Eileen: A family Christmas in a new house. We’re going to be moving house in the next couple of weeks, so are hoping we’ll be there in time for Christmas.
Caroline: Catching up with family and friends. I have been the world’s worst sister/friend this year. Writing three books and three novellas in a year seriously messes with your social life.
Today I am chatting to author Caroline McCall, who along with writing partner Eileen Gormley, writes erotic fiction under the pen name Evie Hunter.
Can you tell us a little bit about your latest book?
Our latest book is called The Pleasures of Autumn. It’s the story of Sinead O’Sullivan, an uptight museum curator who is trying hard to put her (naughty) past behind her. She has a new job in a new city, but then things go horribly wrong when the Fire of Autumn - a dazzling ruby with a history of violence and treachery – is stolen from her jewel collection at the museum.
As the thief looks remarkably like her, Sinead becomes top of the suspect list. Just when she thinks her life can’t possibly get any worse, investigator Niall Moore is hired to stop her fleeing and to find the jewel.
After that, it’s mayhem, danger and lots of sizzling encounters between two people who are drawn together, despite the fact that they don’t trust each other.
Eileen and I had great fun writing this one.
Another day, another giveaway... You've certainly been spoilt this month as it has been a busy month of giveaways and as the month draws to a close I now have one more just for you!
I recently received a copy of The Pleasures of Autumn by Evie Hunter but, as I'm currently trying to work my way through a backlog and I don't review erotic fiction, the lovely publicist at Penguin Ireland have agreed that I can offer it as a giveaway prize to one of you lovely people instead.
When museum curator Sinead O'Sullivan is charged with stealing the Fire of Autumn, a dazzling ruby with a history of violence and treachery, bail is set at one million Swiss francs. Investigator Niall Moore is hired to stop her fleeing and to find the jewel.
Their sexual chemistry is electric but logic says to ignore it. Desperate as she is to convince Niall of her innocence, Sinead cannot reveal everything she knows. And the feisty red-head's improbable tale tells him that she is not to be trusted.
