Author Saturday Spotlight: Chris McHart #Interview #Giveaway
Today is Saturday and that means it's Author Saturday Spotlight time! I'm excited to have the author of Never Wrong, Small Steps, & the Unexpected Series; Chris McHart here. Of course I subjected Chris to an interview which I would say went well! lol. We will look at Chris's work and of course wrap it up with a giveaway. So, get comfy!
Ben Amann currently hates everything: The accident that temporarily put him in a wheelchair, the fact that he has to go for rehab and live in an assisted living home as well. Sebastian Hofers, the good looking but equally bad-tempered new assistant to his rehab therapist changes that.
Sebastian has two choices after causing an accident while driving drunk: community service hours or go to jail. The decision is a no-brainer, and so he meets Ben at the rehab center. The two of them hit it off and slowly, Sebastian sees more than just a patient in Ben.
But their growing relationship faces hard trials, not only because of Sebastian’s heavy drinking, but also because of the truth
Alex wanted a night of hot passion with Gerome, but he gets more than he ever bargained for. His life will be changed forever in a world where he’ll be thrown in jail— or worse— for being pregnant.
Alex’s best friend, Sam, has been acting strange ever since he met Alex’s one-night stand, but now Alex needs help in order to hide, and Sam is his only hope.
First book in the Unexpected series.
There are currently three books in this series
Jeff was raised to believe love between two men is wrong. Or is it? Can love ever be wrong?
When Jeff meets the much younger Dean, he only knows he wants him, consequences be damned. But things are not as easy, especially after Jeff's ex calls and announces big news.
And Dean? He thinks the new neighbor is hot, but he's not interested in something more than a rebound fuck. That's what he tells himself, at least.
But lust isn't a good basis for a relationship, more so since Jeff isn't sure whether he can deal with being gay.
Love is never wrong, but can Jeff accept that?
What do you do if the Dom you love is half a world away?
When work requires Ryan to leave behind warm and sunny Arizona for cold and snowy Germany, he decides to visit the famous Nuremberg Christmas Market where he meets sexy Julian.
But Julian isn’t an average guy, he’s a Dom. And he wants Ryan to be his sub.
That’s something Ryan has dreamt of, but never admitted to anyone, not even himself. With Julian it suddenly becomes possible.
But what happens once Ryan has to go home, especially since he’s developing feelings for Julian?
There isn’t a future for a relationship if you’re half a world apart…
Interview
Thank you, Chris, for being here today and allowing me to
torture you… I mean interview you for a bit. I have vowed to not maim my guests
so you are safe. You’ve written in this genre for long enough to know how this
all goes and how ridiculous I can be. SO, let’s just begin.
Well, it’s boring to play it safe… just saying. But okay,
let’s begin.
What motivates you to write?
The stories in my head. They want to get told, so I’m
telling them. My doc says it’s not normal to have voices in your head, but I
decided they’re okay as long as they’re only telling me my stories.
If one of your books became a motion picture which would you
like to see on the screen?
Small Steps, hands down. It’s still my favorite book.
Of all the characters you have written, who is the most like
you and why?
Oh, they all carry parts of me, but no character is like me.
I’d love to think I might be like Sam from the Unexpected, but I’m not sure I’m
as giving and supportive as he is.
What were some of the best books you read in 2016?
Phew, I definitely don’t have enough time to read, sadly.
Hmm. Well, I read the whole Collars and Cuffs Series from KC Wells and Parker
Williams and loved them. Also, LA Witt is one of my favorite authors, among
others. But I know I missed so many good books, it’s a shame. Really.
Do you have a work ethic and if so what is it?
Yes, I do. First, I have goals, daily, weekly, monthly. They
are in a small, black book. And only after I’m done, I allow myself to read or
watch TV. If I start reading before I finish for the day, I won’t get any more
writing done. I also try to write in the morning, so I have the evening off.
(And that makes writing sound like work, when in fact, I want nothing more than
to write. LOL)
Who does the covers for your books? Do you stick with the
same person or do you move around?
I recently started doing my own covers, and I’m currently
also working with a German Publisher as a cover artist.
If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have
2 of your own books with you which 2 would you have?
Again, Small Steps, because I love it. And my current WIP,
because it’s very close to my heart (it’s about horses…) If I need to pick a
finished book, then Unexpected 3. I love Gerome, even though he’s an ass
sometimes.
Is there an author you’d like to collaborate with, who?
Currently I’m working with Aria Grace (sorry for dropping
the bomb! LOL) We’re in the middle of a cool new series, so stay tuned. And I
have no idea if I was allowed to tell you that. :/ LOL
I also might have asked a pretty famous author about co-writing (and she said yes!!), but we both don’t have time right now, so that will have to wait.

Can you tell us what you’re currently working on and what
2017 will produce from you?
Unexpected #4 is written and edited, but currently just in
German, so I need to translate it, have it edited and then it’ll release.
(soon, I hope!)
Aside from that, my book with Aria Grace (I can’t tell you
the title yet, sorry) and the Horse-story WIP (working title: Touch Me, but
that will most likely change).
I’ve got plans to write at least two more books, both in
German and English, so you can expect the sequel to Small Steps (Niko’s story,
guys!!) and the last book in the Unexpected Series (#5). Oh, and a couple more
with Aria, of course.

Saturday Spotlight: Morningstar Ashley ~Guest Post #Giveaway
Morningstar at GRL
When GRL registration first opened up this year I
desperately wanted to go! I wanted to go meet my favorite authors (rockstars),
my awesome online friends (crazy people who make me happy), and let’s be honest
probably stand in the corner terrified of making a fool of myself hoping no one
would see me. But I was determined, so I registered! What ended up happening
was more than I could’ve hoped for.
First, I met this awesome woman Alissa in the Houston
airport. And it’s a funny story we basically told anyone that would talk to us.
She is the one friend I can say that we were brought together by Donald Trump.
Yup that wasn’t a typo. Donald Trump has done one good thing this year and
brought me a new wonderful friend that I talked to for hours sitting waiting
for our plane and then the whole flight. THEN we find out we were flying back
to Houston together! This was, to me, an ice breaker. My concern about the
people was eased by meeting this fantastic friend even before arriving at GRL.
The super organizers of GRL picked a perfect venue which
makes me glad that this one was my first one. The lobby was perfect for large
gatherings of people wanting to just sit and hang out. Some authors chose this
as a way to get their book groups together and just talk, much like we all do
in the closed author's groups but in person, which is sooooo much better! The
Q&A’s were perfect for answering those all important questions you never
thought you’d get to ask, author readings were great for hearing their
characters and story in their own voices or like in the case of Devon McCormack
get a comedy show to go with along with that, and panels were where readers and
other authors learned different things about the author’s process of writing
their books.
I met so many people I am Facebook friends with that I am,
still, in actual amazement about it! I mean we sat at every meal and talked
about characters and stories and which author you should try and who you’ve
never heard of that it was like being in book heaven. (I may had even gushed to
my people about another one of my friend’s books since I love her stories so
much and it's how we became friends.) Never have I ever been able to do that
before. And these people; they all get it! They get how characters can change
us, how we can connect with them on an emotional level that can scare even us,
how the stories that the rockstars of ours write can be eye opening, or laugh
until you cry escapism, or so full of mushy love stuff that your teeth hurt. It
was the best feeling of being enveloped in this family of people that make you
feel welcome and wanted.
Then came the nights! The nights of dinners out in Kansas
City trying that all important KC BBQ, walking Main Street on a gorgeous night,
and again just hanging out with friends. BUT there were also the dances and the
costume party which let me tell you all were so much fun. The Friday night
dance could've used some more current music but you get some drinks in you and
you’ll dance anyway! And I love the bartender we had, Randy Gersham, because I
had no idea what I wanted to drink (not a big drinker) so he asked me some
questions and made me a drink that was YUMMY! And I drank that drink at every
nighttime event after; and the crazy awesome people I was with actually were
silly enough to name the drink after me and then tell people that so they then
ordered the drink with that name. I shake my head and laugh every time I think
of it! Oh and there were some photos “leaked” from that night I would like to
say I am innocent in all things and Devon and Riley are bad influences ;)
Oh the costume party I mentioned...holy wow did people
really go all out on that! I have seen the best costumes at that get together
than I have at Halloween! It was amazing to see and it made the party all that
more fun. It was a great event to end a
perfect and fun filled week!
I was so sad to leave but beyond happy that I went. I can’t
wait until next year. And that right there told me that as much as this whole
experience had been so much fun it also helped me tell my innate shyness to
shush these people are great so I have nothing to worry about.
If you are on the fence about going next year or anytime,
take it from this shy girl, it was well worth the trip!
