of my books. However, I’m sure if you read a few of my stories, you’d soon see certain themes emerge because they reflect my core beliefs. What I want most for my readers, however, is to be able to get lost in my books and to experience a few hours of pleasurable reading.
Caris Roane is a USA TODAY Bestselling Author of seventeen paranormal romances. Writing as Valerie King, she has published over 50 sweet Regencies. In 2005, Romantic Times honored her with a career achievement award in Regency Romance. Caris lives in Arizona with her two cats, Gizzy and Sebastien.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor? Jane Austen, but that would probably be true of most authors who’d ever explored her work. I value that with such limited personal choices because of the era in which she lived, she made an effort to tell her stories. And that will always inspire me. What are your current projects? I’m following the Indie path with my Blood Rose Series, of which TRAPPED is one of the shorter novellas, as well as working concurrently on the Men In Chains series for St. Martin’s Press. I’ll also be in a boxed set, called Dark and Deadly, with several of my wonderful writer friends, a project that launches on April 14th.
