An Interview with Authors of the Romance on the High Seas Box
Set
What hobbies or pastimes
do you partake in to relax?
I’m
not sure it’s “relaxing,” but we own, and occasionally breed, German
Shorthaired Pointers, and I’ve been heavily involved in the world of dog shows
for over thirty years. I’ve shown several dogs to their championships and one
of our puppies, now nearly three, was named for the hero of my book CAPTAIN OF
MY HEART (Brendan) and takes both his registered and call name from that
dashing privateer. I showed Brendan to his championship last year and he’s my
pride and joy and constant shadow. I also have a small skiff whose lines and
design were taken from a late 19th century small craft which I enjoy sailing -
it’s one of my passions. I also enjoy planespotting, photography, and reading.
(NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Danelle Harmon)
Tell us about the
genre you have chosen to write in and why you are drawn to it.
I
began my writing career in the Georgian and Regency eras tied to the Peninsular
Wars, because I just felt drawn to those times.
I lived in London, during my undergraduate studies, and I toured the
Naval Academy at Greenwich. Later, I
toured Wellington’s home in Hyde Park, and I was hooked. (USA Today Bestselling
Author Barbara Devlin)
What historical
period have you not yet written about, but would like to?
I
would love to write in the medieval time period, I have a book underway that is
set during the medieval period and I am very much enjoying researching and
writing it. However, it is only about one third of the way written because my
focus remains on the Victorian and Regency. I work on the medieval in-between
releases and hope to release it sometime late in 2018. (USA Today Bestselling
Author Amanda Mariel)
If you weren’t a
writer, what would you be?
A
grossly underpaid volleyball coach. I have been coaching for almost ten years.
I did the math once and discovered that when I divided the total hours into the
pay, I was making about $2.37 an hour. (Author Chloe Flowers)
What is your writing
environment like?
I
have a desk in my front room that I normally write at. It’s got a Himalayan
salt lamp on it, plus some other stones and gems to help with creativity and
anxiety issues. There’s also a small pot full of pens and markers and a gift a
reader sent me. The walls around it are covered in erasable calendars, white
boards, cork boards, posters of my book covers, old maps, ship models, and
other odds and ends that I like having around for ambience. (Author Kamery Solomon)
Do you have a
favorite place you have traveled to? Or perhaps a place you long to visit?
The
Caribbean calls my name. I’ve visited 10 Caribbean islands. St. Lucia, St.
Thomas, and Barbados have been my favorites so far but there are hundreds more
I want to see. Visiting Italy is on my bucket list. (Author Jennifer Bray-Weber)
If you could meet
any person living or dead, who would it be and why?
I’d want to meet Admiral
Horatio Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton! In a time when scandal meant the end to
reputation and a place amongst the ton, these two lovers shrugged their
shoulders at public convention and shared a deep passion no one understood.
(Author Katherine Bone)
Katherine Bone
National
Bestselling Historical Romance Author Katherine Bone has been passionate about
history since she had the opportunity to travel to various Army bases, castles,
battlegrounds, and cathedrals as an Army brat turned Officer's Wife. Who knew
that an Army wife's passion for romance novels would lead to pirates? Certainly
not her rogue, whose Alma Mater's adage is "Go Army. Beat Navy!" Now
enjoying the best of both worlds, Katherine lives with her rogue in the south
where she writes about rogues, rebels and rakes, aka pirates, spies, the Royal
Navy, and duty, honor, and country and the happily ever afters every alpha male
and lady deserve.
As an
Army wife raising four children, romance helped Katherine weather loneliness.
Now she hopes to pay it forward, to ease readers’ burdens by taking them on a
swashbuckling, adventurous voyage into historical romance and beyond.
A
Parrothead at heart, Chloe’s love for pirates began with Peter Pan and
continued with Pirates of the Caribbean and ghost stories about pirates from
the Outer Banks. She listens to Celtic music while she writes. When life gets
too serious, she reads Calvin and Hobbes comics. She lives in Ohio with her
tall, dark and handsome husband, three children and two rambunctious dogs,
Indiana and Luke, who are named after her two favorite action heroes.
Descended
from a family of cooks and gourmet chefs, Chloe is a true foodie and along with
working for fortune 500 companies in marketing and teaching MBA students
strategic marketing, she also ran a gourmet cookie company. Cooking for a crowd
runs in the blood, so her fridge is always full. She deals with stress by
baking pies (just ask her college roommates what it was like for them around
exam time).
Her
idea of a perfect day? Sailing on the Caribbean with her family, sun in her
face and wind at her back, and finishing the day in the kitchen making a fab
gourmet meal and sipping a glass of wine.
The
Pirates & Petticoats Series is about spunky heroines and the scoundrels who
love them.

USA Today bestselling, Amazon All-Star author
Barbara Devlin was born a storyteller, but it was a weeklong vacation to
Bethany Beach, DE that forever changed her life. The little house her parents
rented had a collection of books by Kathleen Woodiwiss, which exposed Barbara
to the world of romance, and Shanna remains a personal favorite. Barbara writes
heartfelt historical romances that feature flawed heroes who may know how to
seduce a woman but know nothing of marriage. And she prefers feisty but smart
heroines who sometimes save the hero, before they find their happily ever
after. Barbara earned an MA in English and continued a course of study for a
Doctorate in Literature and Rhetoric. She happily considered herself an
exceedingly eccentric English professor, until success in Indie publishing
lured her into writing, full-time, featuring her fictional knighthood, the
Brethren of the Coast.
First published in 1991, New York Times and USA
Today bestselling author Danelle Harmon has written sixteen books, with many
distributed in various languages throughout the world. She and her family make
their home in New England with a menagerie including four dogs, an Egyptian
Arabian horse, and pet chickens.
Amanda Mariel
USA Today Bestselling author Amanda Mariel
dreams of days gone by when life moved at a slower pace. She enjoys taking pen
to paper and exploring historical time periods through her imagination and the
written word. When she is not writing she can be found reading, crocheting,
traveling, practicing her photography skills, or spending time with her family.
Kamery Solomon
Kamery
is not the person who grew up dreaming of the day that she would clutch her
very own novel to her chest, tears brimming over the rims of her eyes as she
thought about how she'd written it herself, finally! In fact, anything remotely
like that didn't even happen until she was actually holding her first book in
her hand, amazed that she'd written it and wondering how on Earth she'd managed
to do it when it hadn't ever occurred to her to write one until months before.
Surprisingly, though, it was just what she never realized she loved doing.
When
starting out in life, Kamery had (and still has) big dreams to perform on
Broadway. She loves music and acting very much, while she and dance have a
love/hate relationship; she would love to do it and every form of dance decides
it hates that about her, haha! The one constant she always had between the
performing world and the book world were the stories, tales that transported
her to other worlds and made her feel like she really could do anything. Finally,
she decided she wanted to do that for someone else and sat down to write.
It's been a few years since
she held that first book, realizing that she really liked writing and wanted to
do more, but the love that blossomed in that moment has only grown. Currently,
Kamery works from home in Arizona, while taking care of her two adorable kids,
a girl and a boy, and talking her sweet husband Jake's ear off about the insane
amount of characters in her head who are ready to fight to the death for a
chance at their own novels. It truly is a wonderful life!
