V.S. Nelson
I think
it is human nature to be drawn to any type of story or genre where two people
can find true happiness in the form of love, regardless what era you were born
in. Looking back at my earlier years, I was captivated by the big screen and in
books by everything from Errol Flynn’s swashbuckling adventures, to Robin Hood,
to Gone with the Wind. Not romance in the truest sense, but there was always a
thread (or more) of romance hidden within the stories. Just last night my
husband and I re-watched Shogun, the mini series. Again, this story was not a
romance in the truest form, but the romance made the story worthy of reading
and watching.
Have you ever written outside
the romance genre? If not, do you ever plan to?
Yes, in
fact my first published piece in 1968 was a poem about a clown. For twenty plus
years I primarily wrote non-fiction and educational material. The subjects
ranged from cookbooks to self help books to university textbooks.
What’s your earliest childhood
memory?
I’m not
sure if it’s my earliest childhood memory but perhaps one of my favorites. I
have fond memories of sitting on the banks of a river with my grandfather
teaching me how to fish when I was around two.
If you could pick anyone in
the world to be the cover model(s) on your latest release, who would it be?
Without a
doubt, the Rock, aka Dwayne Johnson.
What’s your favorite hobby
outside of writing?
I love
crafts as much as I love writing. In fact, the years I spent away from writing,
I created historical garments for the stage and re-enactors. My craft room is
filled with everything from fabric to beading looms.
What would constitute your own
personal happily ever after?
I believe
I’m living it right now! Last year, at the RNC conference in Vegas, I married
my high school sweetheart. A romance story in real life, Tom and I met in 1964,
fell in love, and got engaged. Sadly fate had other plans for us. We separated…
then after thirty years I received an e-mail from classmates dot com. It was
Tom. We reconnected and he eventually moved to Arizona
How do you spend a typical
writing day?
I’m
usually up by 5am – an hour of on-line networking and answering emails while I
drink at least two cups of coffee to get my motor running.
Around
6am, I open up what ever it is I wish to work on and begin the day, like any
other professional with a full time job would. I’m at my computer until two or
three writing. I’m pretty well known for being a sprinter so I write in thirty
minute sprints, taking a ten to fifteen minute break between them. During those
breaks, I’ll find something to eat, exercise, shower or work on my house.
Usually
by two or three pm, I take an hour’s rest then start on my evening meal
preparation.
At night,
when I’m not meeting with critique partners or attending a RWA meeting, you can
usually find me at home talking with one of my editors, editing a work in
progress or if I’m free, curled up with a good book or watching a movie.
Have you ever experienced a
paranormal event in your life?
Oh yeah!
I was raised in a traditional Native American manner and still hold true to my
native beliefs. From 1980 to 1988 I belonged to several professional paranormal
associations where I did everything from helping the police locate bodies to
investigating paranormal activities. Sadly, after 1988 my professional life
required me to set that aside.
What’s the one question you
wish people would ask you when you tell them you’re a writer?
I think
most individuals I’ve met have asked, “What do you write?” It’s a pretty
standard question which I have no problem answering. I’m not sure what question
I would have them ask, but I can tell you the one that bothers me the most, and
that would be, “Are you on the New York Times Best selling list?” Sadly, my
response is, “not yet, but I plan to be some day.”
If you were doomed to spend
the rest of your life on an island with only one book, one person, one food
(coconuts and fish aside), and one object from the modern world (computer,
deodorant, etc.), what would they be?
Book –
survival secrets, Person – hubby, and Modern Object – without a doubt, an
endless supply of toilet paper. (Leaves are not all they are cracked up to be.)
About author V.S. Nelson
Being a Native American woman and a Scorpio, author V.S. Nelson
has always had a fondness for history, mythology, the occult, and the
unexplained events which have occurred on this world we call home. It was no
wonder she found herself writing a paranormal series.
Raised on authors like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne and coming from a long line of oral storytellers, Ms. Nelson work has been defined as innovative and fresh. She will take you by the hand and lead you into the depths of her imagination as if you are sitting next to her on the couch one minute and alive within her fantasy world the next.
She has always enjoyed reading stories with strong relationships and happy-ever-after-endings and it is reflected in her work. Even her commercial fiction, Sins of a Man, the Memoirs of a Mafia Hit man, is layered with romantic elements. I've heard her say she is in love with love more than once and that too is echoed in her stories.
Landing in
Sekhmet’s Guardians, her most recent paranormal
romance series hit the shelves in 2013 with the release of Eternal Lovers,
followed by Eternal Nights and Eternal Blades. The next book in the series,
Eternal Tuat is expected to hit the shelves in the spring. Unlike the other
stories, which take place in modern times, Eternal Tuat takes the reader back
in time five thousand years, back to a time when two at-war-twins were united
as brothers. Rather than fill up additional pages with back story, Ms. Nelson
has scheduled two such historicals for her award winning series, the first
being, Eternal Tuat. Readers will learn first hand what occurrences took place
which caused the perfect destined priest and good son, Bagsu, to clash with the
tides of destiny and turn evil. A small
snippet of that story follows.
SNIPPET from an unedited version of Eternal Tuat – Sekhmet’s Guardians – Book 4 – which will be released this spring.
I say, “Good luck,” and within
moments the red flag is dropped. The crowd screams out their cheers and
everyone dives into the cold water. Net
and I are swimming almost side by side, directly behind Nebtehet, who is in the
lead. Nebtehet bears to the left and enters the hippo area of the river.
Net yells at me to take the right.
I hesitate, but follow his instructions. The crocodiles basking in the sun
along the banks of the Nile don’t pay much
attention to the swimmers, but soon I can hear them making their way into the
water behind us. I look up to make sure I’m still on course and see the open
mouth of a large crock making his way towards me. Not knowing if I should swim
to shore or try to out maneuver him, I hesitate. It is then I see Net with
knife in mouth swim past me and tackle the beast. “Go, I’ll be alright,” he
shouts above the splashing of the water.
I hated leaving him to fight the
crock alone, but know he is able to handle himself. After all, fighting crocks
is one of his favorite pastimes.
I get out of the water and start to
run for the center of the bridge. It is there I see Nebtehet who is entering
the bridge from the opposite direction. I grab my marker moments before he
grabs his, quickly turn around and head for the forest trail. Although I am
much taller than he, Nebtehet has legs like a gazelle and passes me before
long. I increase my speed, but can’t seem to over take him. Just before we get
to the next marker, I see Net step out from a group a trees. How he managed to
get in front of us, I have no idea.
Everything happened so quickly. I
didn’t see what happened or why Nebtehet fell forward until Net drops the tree
branch. He begins to run beside me.
“He’s your friend!”
“Yeah, I know, but you’re my
brother.”
