Interview Alanea Alder Author My Solace
Give a warm welcome to Alanea Alder author of My Solace, Book 11 of Bewitched and Bewildered.
Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Alanea and My Solace! Lets start with few questions.
- What secret do you use to blast through writer’s block? It’s a two step process. I start by having coffee with my characters and write down anything that comes to mind, then I bribe myself into sitting in the chair with the promises of using a new pen or notebook.
- What do you want your readers to take away from your books? That it’s okay to be weird, different or odd. That it’s probably the things that we’re most self-conscious of that sets us apart.
- Where do your story ideas come from? If they come to you in the middle of the night, do you get up and write them all down? I grab my phone and do voice memos. That way my eyes stay closed and I usually fall back asleep faster.
- Why do you write what you write? Contemporary, paranormal, suspense, etc. I write paranormal because then, anything can happen.
- If writing is your first passion, what is your second? I’m pretty sure at this point I collect hobbies.
Tell us a little about My Solace,Bewitched and Bewildered – Book 11

When facing your greatest fear means facing your family, is there any escape? Can Izzy help Oron stand against all odds?
A peek between the pages of My Solace:
Law wiped at his eyes from silent laughter. “She does this to me every damn time,” he complained, barely able to breathe. Two of the other warriors around the room had buried their face in their hands to hide their own laughter.
Pierce looked over at Aiden. “Seriously though, what did she learn about butts in Noctem Falls?”
Law inhaled as he leaned back slightly and fell off his chair. To see a man that size laughing on the floor was all it took to set everyone off.
“Serenity, I don’t think he’s breathing,” Micah commented watching Law wrap his arms around his mid-section as he gasped.
“If he can laugh, he can breathe,” she said, shaking her head at Meryn’s shenanigans.
“See, I told you Izzy, this is a nice place.” A warrior commented, coming up behind them from the direction of the front door.
“I don’t know, it’s mostly men and they look kinda drunk to me. Maybe this is like a bar or sex dungeon. Like a drunken, gay, sex dungeon,” a piping female replied.
“Oh gods above, I can’t breathe!” Law called from the floor. Oron shook his head at the man’s plight.
Micah’s eyes bugged out. “A drunken, gay, sex dungeon?”
Meryn nodded. “They’re all a bunch a mannequins.”
“They like the rough stuff huh?” the sweet voice asked.
“No! What?” Aiden looked from one female to the other then paused. “How did you know she meant masochist?”
“We were talking about sex dungeons, I kinda extrapolated that the misused random word that began with the letter ‘m’ was a term that more accurately fit the conversation. It wasn’t that hard actually.”
“She meant masochist?” Micah asked.
Serenity stood over Law now looking concerned. “Okay, my earlier assessment may have been off, I don’t think he’s getting any oxygen.” She placed her hands on his chest and eased his laughter.
Law gasped for air. “Gods Meryn, you can’t keep doing this to me!” he managed to croak out.
“So, not a sex dungeon?”
Chuckling Oron turned in his chair and suddenly he couldn’t breathe for reasons of his own, the petite auburn haired beauty that had understood nutty Meryn perfectly was his mate!

Interview with Alanea Alder Author of My Angel
Give a warm welcome to Alanea Alder, author of My Angel, Book 9 of Bewitched and Bewildered released on August 29, 2016!
Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Alanea and her new release, My Angel.
Alanea, did you tell friends and family that you were writing a book? Or did it take a while to come out and tell friends and family you were a writer?
My friends and family knew what I was doing from the beginning.
Do you find it easier to write from a male or female point of view? Why?
Neither one is easier than the other, it’s the character and their personality that makes them easier or harder to write.
If writing is your first passion, what is your second?
Coffee and tea
You’ve got a time machine, a cloak of invisibility, and one hour. Where would you go, and what eavesdropping would you do?
The signing of the Declaration of Independence so I could see these people possibly signing their lives away and what they said to each other after the signing was done. Did they give John Handcock a hard time for signing his name so large?
Thanks for answering a few questions. I appreciate it.
Now would you tell us a little about My Angel.
She’s been Bewitched, he’s Bewildered
Vivian Mercy has been running from the past for so long she doesn’t know any other way of life. When a panicked call comes from one of her only friends she finds herself returning to the city of her nightmares where her dedication as a doctor and resolve to help others is put to the test.
Etain Vi’Aerlin has been watching over Noctem Falls for centuries. Sent by his queen he became a silent sentinel in the shadows helping Magnus whenever he could. While the sickness around him claims more lives he discovers what it feels like to be helpless, as an ancient warrior he doesn’t have the skills to fight this unseen enemy.
At any other time finding a mate would be cause for celebration, but Etain wants Vivian as far from Noctem Falls as possible, unfortunately, as the only doctor with an intimate knowledge of diseases she has to stay in the city, and finds herself working tirelessly to discover a cure in the middle of the deadly chaos sweeping the levels.
As Vivian’s past is revealed she finds herself not only combating the terrible virus but also the rebellious faction of the Founding Families. Etain vows to stand by her, even if it means abandoning the post assigned by his queen.
It’s a race against time to unravel the lethal secrets the virus is hiding before the city itself is lost forever.
A peek between the pages of My Angel:
“Do we want to know?” Dimitri asked.Kendrick shook his head. “Honestly? Probably not, stay dumb and happy.”Viktor gave Kendrick a dirty look. “Are you always like this or do you have something against vampires?”Kendrick thought about it a moment. “No, I’m pretty much always like this, no offense,” he smiled at them brightly. The warriors scowled at his flippant response.Godard eyed Kendrick. “Since you are a member of the Alpha Unit, maybe you should come train with us tomorrow. That is, if your soft archivist hands can stand getting a little dirty,” he teased.Kendrick gave him an evil smile and rose to his full height. He stood nearly half a foot over them. “You will find that I am not as easy to manipulate as two certain innocent witches. I look forward to seeing you first thing in the morning.”
