Thanks for inviting me over Cynthia. I’d like to say hello
to your readers. I’m Samantha Fury of the Street Justice Series. I write under
two genres, and two names. Since I
turned eight years old I’ve been a Christian and writing. I love to talk about
writing and my babies, they’re dogs but don’t tell them, they think they’re
human. In the picture above you will find my two babies. Jack and Max the
smaller one as most of my fans will know is Jack.
For Romance I write under my
Great Grandmothers maiden name, Lovern. What qualifies me for romance? For one,
I’ve been reading romance and falling in love, over and over, since I was old
enough to know what romance is. Two, I’ve read more books and watched more
romance movies than I care to mention.
The key to writing in any genre is enjoying it and loving it, and
romance is my favorite genre. You can find out more about my romance novels
here. www.samanthalovern.com
Tell us a little about your “real” (Non-writing) life — family, job, and church life. Does it give you inspiration for your writing?
My real life now consists of
taking care of my babies, and working from home. My old life consisted of
riding in an 18-wheeler with my husband. I did this for 18 years and I loved
it. We were in a different city almost every day. It was great inspiration for
my novels. If I want to write about Chicago, I’ve been there. If I want to
write about Las Vegas, I’ve been there. I’ve been in 48 states and Canada many,
many times over the past 18 years. That part of my life is over and now I’m a
stay at home Author/Cover Artist. I try
to go to church once a week, and Hubby and I enjoy owning our own business, but
it’s more work at times than I’d like to admit.
Tell us about things you enjoy — what you do for fun or personal satisfaction?
I love to write, and make covers;
it’s what I enjoy. Sitting outside, on the laptop, with the dogs on a beautiful
fall day, is a great day. I create beautiful pre-made book covers at a very
reasonable price. I know the importance
of a great cover and I hope to help many Indie Christian and Non Christian
Authors get the best cover they can for their novels. www.furycoverdesign.com
I have four books out as we speak
working on getting Maid for Martin into audio form, and working on two other
books, Surprise Engagement, book two in the California Love Trilogy, is in the
editing stages. Mending Fences, book four in the Street Justice series is in
the first draft stages.
Tell us one place you visited
or person you met, that made a big impression on you, and why.
The one that has meant the most of course is Jesus Christ, he’s made the biggest impression and change in my life than anyone has. Otherwise, there have been so many wonderful people I’ve met, I just can’t narrow it down to one. I’ve been blessed to meet Jeff Gordon, Travis Tritt, T. Graham Brown, Marty Stuart, Steve Warner, to name a few of the famous.
While traveling over this great country, I’ve met Cowboys,
truckers, Indians, and people from other countries. George who was from Greece
comes to mind. As far as places go I just can’t name one. This country we live
in is so amazingly beautiful, everything from the badlands of Texas, to the
huge mountains of Montana, to Maine and the coastline, even to New York City
and the crazy traffic and our beloved Twin Towers. I’ve been so blessed to see
it all, and I thank God for the life he’s given me, and I can’t wait to see
what he does next.
Share something that’s amazing,
touching, or that makes you angry.
Life in general is amazing, I love this country we live in, love the opportunity’s to serve God and enjoy what freedoms we have left. What makes me angry? At the top of my list is Government officials that waste money and take away our rights in the name of stupidity, and people that abuse animals. I love my boys as I call them, and can’t imagine how people can even think about being cruel to animals.
What’s the worst trouble you
ever had with getting a book written (plots, finding needed information,
getting a cover done)?
When you write fiction there are
always issues. I write things as close to the truth as I can get them, so I
have to become a nurse, a lawyer, police officer, and preachers, to name a
few.
Crossing state lines to do police work was an issue
once. I’m always beating up my Main Mc,
Angel Morganson, and having to do hours and hours of research on the effects of
his injuries. Angel is an undercover detective, he’s always getting into a drug
bust, or a crime wave, and I’m running to google to solve some problem.
How many books do you have out?
Right now I have out four books three under the name Samantha Fury and one under the name Samantha Lovern.
What are your future projects?
I hope to keep making book
covers, and writing books. I want to have at least ten books in the Street
Justice Series, and a lot more Romance novels under the pen name Samantha
Lovern. I enjoy writing and the only thing that slows me down is the editing
process. That takes some time, beta readers, and editors, but it’s all so
exciting. I’m also just getting ready to hear my first sample reader for Maid
for Martin. I hope to have it out in Audio Book form in time for
Christmas.
