ASSASSIN’S TOUCH

Iron Portal #1

By 

Laurie London

Two worlds. Two enemies.

Haunted by loss, Cascadian assassin Rickert D’Angelus is on a mission of vengeance. Determined to stop the Pacifican army from finding a portal to his world, he leads a group of warriors into New Seattle with one goal—to kill all Pacifican soldiers.

Neyla Trihorn had the perfect life until a deadly accident revealed her latent para-abilities. Now, the former fashion designer is the Pacifican army’s hottest commodity in their fight against the invaders.

When Rickert discovers a beautiful, unconscious soldier on a cold mountain ledge near the portal, he realizes she’s a Protection-Talent and cannot be killed. To prevent the army from using her skills again, he takes her as his prisoner instead.

One fated touch…

But when he pulls her into his arms, a sexy and compelling vision appears, awakening something inside him. Something he can’t ignore.

Torn between duty and passion, Rickert must decide if the vision is a Talent trick designed to foil the enemy or the answer to his deepest desires...

Describe your books in 3 words?

Dangerous, sexy, naughty

If you could be any character from one of your books who would it be?

It’s hard to choose just one, but I’d probably pick Arianna from TEMPTED BY BLOOD because she runs an interesting blog and is with a really hot bad boy with piercings.

What is your greatest fear about being an author/publishing your book(s)?

Disappointing readers.

Would the 10 year-old version of yourself kick your butt or praise you for what you've accomplished in life?

My 10-year-old self would think it was cool that I’m an author now, because my 10-year-old self was writing books.

What do you do when you finish your book and turn it in to the editor?

Cross my fingers that she likes it and then take my mind off of that by starting my next project.

What is your favorite Genre and why?

Paranormal romance is my first love because love is more interesting when it’s dangerous.

What is one thing that would surprise us to know about you?  

I once went to Forks with 50 other Twilight fans.

Was there an Author who inspired you to write?

My sister is an author (Rebecca J. Clark), and for ages, she pestered me to go to writing meetings with her. I finally listened to her, and it was then that I started writing again.

How did you come up with the characters in your books?

Because my books tend to be hero-centric, I focus on him first—his goals and fears. What drives him? What makes him think and act the way he does? And then I come up with a heroine who will challenge him unlike anyone has ever done before.

Do you prefer to write alone or do you like to collaborate with other authors?

Although I’m in several plotting groups, I work better if I come up with a story idea and characters first and then talk about it with two of my special reader/writer friends (they’re my muses).  I’ve also got a screenwriter author friend who is amazing when it comes to analyzing story and characters. And then, of course, there’s my sister.

Everyone uses computers, tablets, phones and no one uses handwritten form or typewriters, what do you prefer to use?

My Macbook Pro

Is there a ritual you do before you begin your book?

I like to start off a new book by taking myself on a mini writing retreat to the ocean. I’ve done this with my last 2 books and discovered it’s a great way to clear out the clutter in my mind and get ready for something new.
