WILLOW WINTERS INTERVIEW & GIVEAWAY!

Hello everyone!  I have had the pleasure of interviewing Willow Winters recently.  She is a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author.

From what her bio states, “She likes her action hot and her bad boys hotter. She certainly doesn’t hold back on either one in her writing!”.  This I can definitely attest to!!

So, lets begin!


How would you introduce yourself and your writing to new readers?

W:       I would say, I don’t care who you are or what you typically read, you should give my books a try.  They make you feel and hopefully stay with you long after the   book is over.  That’s my goal with every book and I truly believe I write books everyone should read… and their grandmother too.


When did you start writing and what was the first book that you ever wrote, not necessarily the first ever published.

W:       Scandal, now unpublished, was the first book I wrote about 5 years ago.  I waited another 2 years (had a baby and got preggers with number 2 in the meantime) before finishing it and taking publishing seriously.


To date, out of all your books, which one do you hold closest to your heart.  Why?

W:       Possessive, a particular character in it is based off of someone in my real life.  I don’t wish to elaborate at the moment.

Merciless, my latest always leaves my heart raw. 

And now I’m literally just moving backwards in my publishing order.  I love every   book I write.  Every single one.


You did a rebranding recently.  What does this mean for you and us the readers?

W:       I wanted a new look that signified the emotional side of my writing.  When I moved wide, I wrote my heart out because I truly thought I was starting over. And the books feel different, so I wanted to separate classic Willow with my current writing.  I’ll be publishing on both still, but I wanted to make the difference in the writing known.


Your most recent release is called Merciless.  You were more than excited for this book to be released.  What does this book mean to you and can you tell us anything about it without spoilers (of course)?

W:       I can tell you you’ve got to read it.  Carter is my most demanding anti-hero I’ve ever written and you’ve never read a character like him before.  It’s intense and he will captivate you…


What can your readers expect from you this year?

W:       My best work.  Every book I strive for bigger and better.  Edge-of-the-seat gripping books that stay with you long after the books are done.  I’ll do my best to make you feel what the characters feel and ensure that love will conquer everything, not matter how dark things may get.


How did publishing your first book change your process of writing?

W:       Well publishing doesn’t necessarily correlate with my writing - I see them as separate tasks.  I have a business side, the marketer and publisher and then the artist side, the writer.  I will say some business decisions effect my artist side, but I do my best to keep them separate.  I write for me and not the business.  I hope it always stays that way.


How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?

W:       Two.  My first and oldest book is unpublished.  And I have a novella, Infatuation, that I intend to make a novel and write a series based on it’s world sometime in 2019.


What does literary success look like to you?

W:       Continuing to have the desire to write, even when the business is daunting.


Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with bad or good ones?

W:       Yes.  I have voodoo dolls.  Just kidding.  I try to focus on constructive criticism so I can improve my writing as well as the positives from readers.  With anxiety of my upcoming release, reading the reviews has been a true blessing.  And I’m so thankful for readers who write reviews.  Both constructive and positive


I want to thank Willow Winters for taking the time to answer these questions.  I also wish to congratulate her on her most recent release Merciless. 

I enjoyed this book so much and want everyone to have a chance at reading this thrilling and exciting book in a new series.

I will be gifting 2 e-books of Merciless.  All you have to do is add it to your TBR and comment below to tell me its done!  Optional:  Like & Share!!

Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author. She likes her action hot and her bad boys hotter. She certainly doesn’t hold back on either one in her writing!

Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.

In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!
