Welcome to The Wormhole and my day on the tour.
It is my pleasure to feature:
Elizabeth Nelson and Curiosity Killed the Kat.
This blog tour is presented by Teddy Rose at Virtual Authors Book Tours.
Elizabeth Nelson has joined us here for an interview:
? When did you
first realize you wanted to be a writer?
I think I was 12 or 13 and my first crush broke up with me. I didn’t
know what to do! I thought my life would be over. I remember crying over my
diary as I wrote about how much my heart ached.
? How many jobs
did you have before you became a writer?
I’ve worked many jobs. Writing isn’t a job to me. I love it. Writing
is like a 6th sense to me. It’s instinctual.
? How long does
it take you to write a book?
On average, I can write a short book in 1-3 months. Is that quick?
? What would you
say is your most interesting writing quirk?
I like to write in only my underwear. Is that weird? haha
? Do you have a
routine that you use to get into the right frame of mind to write?
A good cup of coffee and a morning workout usually gets me fired up
to write.
? Where do you
get your ideas or inspiration for your characters?
I like to draw from personal experience and intertwine it with raw
imagination.
? How do you
decide what you want to write about?
I write what I would want to read. Simple as that.
? What books
have most influenced your life?
Nicholas Kristof’s Half The Sky
? What is the
first book you remember reading by yourself?
It was probably something along the lines of Green Eggs And Ham by
Dr. Suess.
? What are you
reading right now?
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa
Diffenbaugh
? What do you
like to do when you are not writing?
I love live music and watching reality TV.
? What is your
favorite comfort food?
Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food.
? What do you
think makes a good story?
Having it be believable and having the reader not being able to
predict what will come next.
? What book, if
any, do you read over and over again?
State of Wonder
by Ann Patchett.

More About Elizabeth Nelson:
Elizabeth wrote her first romance novel at age fifteen when she discovered writing about boys was way easier than actually talking to them. Since then, her flirting skills and relationship techniques have helped hundreds of others find their mojo. After earning a master's degree in secondary education from UNC, she worked abroad teaching English, bar-tended at late night clubs in Chicago, and continues various philanthropy projects that focus on empowering women. But she always returned to writing.
Though she'll forever be a free-spirit at heart, she now lives in Los Angeles with her two dogs. If she's not working on her latest sexy story, you can find her reading, watching reality television, or indulging in her unhealthy addiction to rock concerts.
Elizabeth's Facebook Page:
Katherine ("Kat") thought she had the perfect marriage to International Lawyer Steven Flynn. Until he tried to kill her.
Katherine was the perfect obedient wife. She would do anything for her husband. That is, until she discovers he's the ring leader of a human trafficking organization. The action is fast and furious, the dialogue smart and the sex scenes hot. Meet Katherine in Curiosity Killed The Kat as she goes farther and farther down the rabbit hole of political intrigue, sex, and revenge. Will she let herself be saved by love or will curiosity and a thirst for killer justice kill the Kat?
