On the 8th Day of Blogmas we have the Outstanding Author of "Eternal Hunter" Cynthia Eden. Help Me give her a warm Welcome!! *cheer, cheer, clap,clap,clap,woo hoo* Thank you so much Cythia for being here today! I just last night finished reading Eternal Hunter, and i have to say O.M.G. That is an Awesome book !!! I could not put it down. Jude........all i can say is "Where can i get me one of him !!!" *clears throat* that is partially why this is late going up today :0) Hopefully i will get me review up this week.I cannot wait till "I'll Be Slaying You" comes out in July 2010. It is Def. going to be a Pre-Order for me !
OK Everone onto the Interview. Head on Down and get to know Cynthia Eden a little better. But dont leave to fast. Cynthia Is going to be visiting us through out the day to chat and answer questions. Cynthia has also generously given me the opportunity to give one lucky reader a Signed copy of " Eternal Hunter" AND " Hotter After Midnight" Is that not AWESOME!!!! So head on down and lets get started !!!
JJBC~Do you read your own books after they make it to final print?
CE~I don’t read them. Is that wrong? But by that time, I’ve read the story about 6 times and I pretty much have it memorized.
JJBC~What do you like to Read? Your Favorite Genre?
CE~Romances! Romances are—by far—my favorite books, and I particularly enjoy paranormals and romantic suspenses.
JJBC~Did you always want to be a writer?
CE~As soon as I learned how to read, I wanted to write. Did I know that I would by lucky enough to live my dream? Oh, no, but I am so thrilled every day that I have the chance to write my stories.
JJBC~How old were you when you began to write?
CE~I wrote my first story when I was 6. I wrote my first novel when I was 18. I sold my first novel…many years after that. J
JJBC~Is writing your full time job?
CE~I am very fortunate to be able to say that yes, it is my full-time job. When I first published, it wasn’t. I juggled a teaching job and writing, but after I had my son, I was able to stay home with him and write full-time.
JJBC~Do you set a daily writing goal?
CE~Yes, when I am on a deadline, I write ten pages—or I don’t sleep! I find this goal works well. Except for the lack of sleep part.
JJBC~When and where do you like to write?
CE~I write any place that is quiet enough for me. I just grab the laptop, find my quiet spot, and I’m good.
JJBC~Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?
CE~Yes, keep writing. Don’t ever give up. Write the story that calls to you and keep writing—even if you get rejected, even if friends tell you that you’re wasting your time…just keep following your dream.
ETERNAL HUNTER
Assistant DA Erin Jerome has a secret. Make that two. One: She’s not entirely human–she’s Other, desperately trying to keep her supernatural strength under wraps. Two: she’s got a killer stalking her–an Other rogue set on “gifting” her bloody corpses, not to mention nights lying awake in terror. Small wonder she’s been having bad luck with men.
But the bounty hunter on her new case isn’t worried about any of that. Jude Donovan is a shapeshifter himself, and the new DA’s midnight hair and addictive scent tell him all he thinks he needs to know: She’s gorgeous, she’s definitely not human, and she’s bringing out the animal in him in a really good way. He might have to track a psychotic Other stalker through half of Louisiana. But he might also get the chance to watch Erin’s wild side come out and play.
~Can you tell you tell us a little bit about the book?
CE~I’d be happy to! J ETERNAL HUNTER is the first book in my new Night Watch series (books about paranormal bounty hunters). My hero, Jude Donovan, is a white tiger shifter—and he is a man who always catches his prey.
JJBC~How did you come up with the idea for this book/series? From a dream, from watching tv, while reading another book?
CE~I knew I wanted to start a new series, and I was brainstorming then the following sentence just popped into my mind: “Sometimes, it takes a monster to catch a monster.” And that is the premise for the whole series. The paranormal monsters in my “world” can only be taken down by equally powerful creatures. Demons hunt demons. Shifters hunt shifters, and, well, I think you get where I’m going with this…
JJBC~Who’s your favorite character and why?
CE~I had a great time with all the characters in this book, but my favorite was the heroine, Erin Jerome. On the surface, Erin seems fragile, but the surface can be so deceiving. She’s one of the most physically powerful heroines I’ve created, and, for fun, she’s also psychic. Erin has death dreams—she can dream and see exactly how a person will die. The dreams are always of violent deaths. No gentle passings in the night for her. As you might expect, she’s got a few issues.
JJBC~Do you have any idea how many book are going to be in this series?
CE~I’ve written three books so far. The second book in the series, I’LL BE SLAYING YOU will be out in July of 2010. I turn away from the shifters a bit in this book and focus more on vampires.
My Bonus Question:
JJBC~If you could be trapped in any series/book which would it be and why?
CE~Ack! That’s a hard question…hmmm…okay, I’m going old school on you. I’d like to be trapped in The Bride by Julie Garwood. This was one of the first books that I ever read (it was wonderful!), and the ex-history teacher in me would love a trip back in time.
CE~Thanks so much for interviewing me!! It’s been a pleasure! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!!
JJBC~ Thank you so much For being here today Cynthia. The Pleasure has been all mine! I am so glad i stumbled upon you in Dangerous Women Yahoo Group !

Question for Cynthia-What is your favorite Christmas song? :)
elaing8(at)netscape(dot)net
Hey you two,
Loved the Interview!
1. I read all the books in the Midnight Trilogy and my favorite is Midnight's Master cuz seriously Niol is just damn hot and totally rocked my world.
2. 3. & 4 yep I do all of this
7. I'm a stalker on facebook too!
8. and I don't have a myspace thingie! LOL
11. I RTed it here: http://twitter.com/Susi_Sunshine/status/6730775954
12. Question for Cynthia: Is the new series set in the same world as the Midnight Trilogy?
Hope you have a great day.
Hugs,
Susi
I have the pleasure of having both books being offered so please don't include me in the contest.
I would like to ask Cynthia who her favorite authors are and was there one particular author that really inspired her to become one.
Hi, elaing8! Happy Holidays!!! My favorite Christmas song is Rudolph--oh, I love that Reindeer!! What's yours?
Hey, SusiSunshine! So glad you enjoyed the interview and I am very happy to hear Niol rocked your world--that is so awesome! :-) And, yes, the new series will follow the same world rules (about vamps, demons, etc) as the Midnight Books, but the city will be different. The Night Watch books will be set in Baton Rouge, another of my favorite southern cities.
Hi, Bells! Oh, I've got so many favroite authors--Christine Feehan, Larissa Ione, Linda Howard, Angela Knight, Jayne Ann Krentz. They all inspire me in different ways--I think their stories are so creative. I knew that I wanted to write about vampires, though, after I read Christine Feehan and Angela Knight. They introduced me to a world of sexy paranormals and got me hooked!
Thanks for having me over, JoJo!! Hope everyone is getting ready for a wonderful holiday!

Hi :)
Thank you for the great interview with Cynthia Eden and thank you to Cynthia for sharing here & for answering commentors questions too. I enjoyed learning more about Cynthia and her writing. I was wondering what Cynthia reads when she is writing? Does she read paranormal romance or outside the genre in which she is writing?
I have Cynthia on my ToBeRead list.

Hi Cynthia! I was wondering who is your favorite paranormal author?
lilazncutie1215 @ yahoo.com
Hi cynthia! so glad you could come today!!!
I took your test and im a vampire!!!! he he love the fangs!
My questions is do you ever have certain songs you get stuck on listening to when you read or write? Ya ok im probably a freak and the only person that does. but when i am reading a book i have certain songs that call to me and give me just a feel for the book. most dont go with the book but they just seem to stick out ! does that even make sense??? LOL i have 3 for eternal hunter. i added the playlist to the bottom of my site if anyone cares to listen. but out of the 3 ,the biggest one that calls to me is Never Gonna Be Alone by: nickleback!
Does anyone else do this??
JoJo
Hi, Anna! So glad you enjoyed "In the Dark"--thank you! Hmmm...the thing I'm looking forward to the most? Seeing my son (he's 4) open his presents. And my favorite book? Oh, I can't choose! They're all my favorites! Well, actually, when I'm writing a book, *that* one is always my fave.
Hey, Raelena! Ah, a charmer? Love that one!
Thank you, tetewa! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed When He Was Bad!
Hi, RKCharron! When I write, sadly, I usually go on a reading break. I save the books until I reach the end of the book (or a mid-way break point), and then I read as my reward. (Then I read anything I can find!!) Happy Holidays to you, too!!
I have just recently found out about Cynthia's books but they are now on my TBR list! They sound hot. I can't wait to try them and I think I want to read Eternal Hunter first but the others sound great also so I will have to see..lol

Thanks for the great interview. I love reading more about authors writing processes.
Hey, skyla! What are two things you don't know about me? The last horror movie I saw was My Bloody Valentine, and the next movie I plan to see is NinJa Assassin. :-) I'm a crazy movie buff!
LOL, jeanette, Maya was a really fun heroine! A kick-ass queen! I have several favorite paranormal authors--Christine Feehan, Larissa Ione, Angela Knight, Jayne Castle, and MaryJanice Davidson are just a few on my list. Jacquelyn Frank is also fab--so is Alyssa Day, Susan Sizemore, Sherrilyn Kenyon, oh, I could go on forever!
Thank you, JoJo! Happy to be here! Sometimes, songs do get stuck in my head. When I was writing Eternal Hunter, the song "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" (hmmm...can't remember if that's the title or not now, but those are definitely repeated lyrics!) kept playing through my mind, especially during the fight scenes. I am so going to check out your playlist!!

Great interview! Cindy, you have another winner with Eternal Hunter. I know a lot of people are eager to read your books when they come out. Including me!
Woo!! I love Cynthia's books, she is in my top ten list of authors. I have read all her novels, except for Eternal Hunter and the ones not out yet, of course. I love reading romances, any kind is good for me. How awesome would it be to jump into a novel? That would be awesome, and Cynthia's books would def be one i jump into! Keep on writing! Happy holidays!
Thanks for the wonderful interview!
1: I haven't read anything by Cynthia yet but I sure like the sound of Eternal Hunter.
2, 3, 4 & 5: I do al that
(6, 7 & 8: I don't have an account)
11: I retweeted this: http://twitter.com/ErotRomReader/status/6742751852
12: My question is: What book are you reading now?
:)
Janna
Eternal Hunter does sound awesome gonna have to pick that one up.
I can't believe you started reading at 6 yrs old that is amazing most kids at that age wouldn't even consider it. I have a son who is going to be 17 next month. In 3-5 grade he used to write short stories all the time his English teachers were amazed then he just stopped. I think his friends thinking it wasn't cool and getting him to do the things they wanted to do distracted him. I was wondering if you might have any ideas to get him interested again?
Im a follow JoJo

Hi, Jamie! Thanks for adding the books to your TBR list and I"m glad you enjoyed the interview!
Oh, Joder, I love the cover for Eternal Hunter--definitely one of my faves!
LOL, Book Vixen, books often call my name, too--can't resist them when they do that!
Hi, Amanda! A vampire, huh? The majority of folks turn out to be either vampires or shifters on the quiz.
Thank you, Edie!! Happy Holidays!
Hi, Taylor! The top ten? Wow--thank you!!! :-) And have a fabulous holiday season!
Hey, Janna! What book am I reading now? Sadly--no book! But as soon as I finish copy-edits and work a bit more on my WIP, I plan to jump into the nearest romance novel.
Hi, Misty! Oh, I hope you can get your son to write again. Does he read a lot? Reading was what got me so interested in writing. I loved the stories I read and wanted to write some of my own. If you could find some stories that really drew his attention, he may decide to start creating again. Good luck!
Cynthia,if its the song im thinking of, its "let the bodies hit the floor, by: drowning pool. i added it to the playlist at the bottom if you wanna check !!
1-I have read all the books available in Canada that I could buy and have enjoyed each and everyone of them and am looking forward to this next book coming out: Eternal Hunter.
