Welcome!
Thank
you so much for having me!
Please share a little about yourself, your genres,
any other pen names you use.
Let’s
see, my name is Boone Brux. I write paranormal, fantasy, contemporary
paranormal, contemporary romance, and humorous paranormal. I tried to have a
different pen name when I dabbled in erotica, but it’s a lot of work and I’m
not organized enough to keep them straight.
Tell us a little about your latest or upcoming
release.
Kiss
of the Betrayer comes out December 11, TOMORROW! Yay!!! It’s book two in my
Bringer and the Bane series and focuses on Jade and Luc. They appeared in the
first book and now get to fully realize their love—or hate for each other. The
story is about a race of beings called Bringers, who protect humans from the
Demon Bane. It’s set in an alternate medieval world and I’ll admit, is growing
to epic proportions with each consecutive book. The looming battle, which will
take place in book five, is quickly building with dozens of threads. Everything
from political intrigue to relationships of characters in previous books.
Jade
and Luc both have secrets that get them into trouble and put the Bringers in
danger. Though their relationship is solidified by the end of the book, Jade’s
situation carries on into book three, Chain of Illusions.
Are you a mom (or parent)?
I’m
a mother of eleven year old twin girls.
If yes do you find it hard to juggle writing and
parenting?
I
tell my husband at least three times a year, “If I was only a housewife and
mother, I’d be the best housewife and mother in the world.” By only I don’t
mean it’s an easy job. I mean if I didn’t have this burning desire to be an
author. Parenting is difficult and rewarding at the best of times. I have
enough self-flagellation that I’m constantly berating myself for not doing more
or working quicker on a book so I can spend more time with them.
Have you ever based your book or characters on
actual events or people from your own life?
I’ve
just started a new series about a thirty-five year old mother of three, who
lives in Anchorage, Alaska. She’s pretty much me. Well, I’m not actually a grim
reaper, though my children might disagree with that. A lot of the events that
happen in these books are from real life experience. I lived in bush Alaska for
sixteen years. There are too many juicy tidbits not to be used, stuff I could
never make up. I also use actual people I’ve met. Nobody is safe. That adage
“Careful of you might end up in my novel,” goes doubly so for me.
Is there a theme or message in your work that you
would like readers to connect to?
Not
really. I like strong heroines and people with flaws. If I did have a theme it
would probably be ‘finding out you’re stronger than you thought you were.’
What would your readers be surprised to learn about
you?
I’m
deathly afraid of sharks and bears. Wherever I choose to live I can’t win. At
least the bears sleep for four to six months, so I take my chances in Alaska.
Really though, Great White Sharks make me want to scream. Even if they didn’t
eat me in the water, I’d probably die of a heart attack if I saw one.
When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have
any hobbies or guilty pleasures?
I’m
a painter but haven’t had time to pick up a brush since I got published. My
daughter wants an underwater theme painted on her wall. Hopefully I’ll get to
that soon—hopefully.
Which romance book or series (or other genre, if you
don’t write romance) do you wish you had written?
The
obvious is Harry Potter. Love them! I think the next one would be Janet
Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. I really enjoy those.
If
I had to choose one book it would probably be The Secret. Love the concept and
could really use the $45,000,000 she made off that. Just sayin’.
Is there a genre(s) that you’d like to write that
you haven’t tackled yet?
Young
adult, but that’s in the works for the beginning of next year. My grim reaper
series actually run the mother’s story, then the daughter’s story. They’re both
reapers but neither knows it. The first YA reaper is called Sudden Death and
should come out around April—fingers crossed.
Of all the characters you’ve ever written, who is
your favorite and why?
I
just finished a book for Entangled Publishing’s Covet line called Suddenly
Beautiful. I loved writing Nikki. She’s a demi-goddess, who doesn’t realize
she’s a demi-goddess. She’s the daughter
of Ares, so her tendency is to react first and ask questions later. Let me just
toss out a few words that describe this book—yeast infection—barking like a
dog—butt sweats. Intriguing, eh?
Butt
sweats was a suggestion from one of my daughters.
If this book is part of a series…what is the next
book? Any details you can share?
I’m
not sure if it is, but I think there will be at least another book about
Nikki’s friend, Stacey. I can’t tell you too much about her because it would be
a spoiler for Suddenly Beautiful.
What is next for you? Do you have any scheduled
upcoming releases or works in progress?
Tomorrow
Kiss of the Betrayer releases.
January
I have Suddenly Beautiful and To Catch Her Death, book one in my reaper series.
Book
three of my Bringer and the Bane series is in the works. The title is Chain of
Illusions and is due to be finished on February 28. Guess I’d better get on
that.
What book are you reading now?
*sigh* Nothing. No time.
What is in your to read pile?
Nothing
right now. I don’t have time. When my head hits the pillow I’m asleep. I long
for the day when I can sit on the couch and read a book in one sitting. I don’t
keep a TBR pile because it makes me feel inadequate—another to do that I’m not
getting to.

For fifteen years Luc Le Daun has blamed himself for the death of the woman he loved. His secret guilt has led him into a life of danger, risking all and committing to none.
Killing Luc Le Daun has been all Jade Kendell has thought about for years. But when her plan goes awry and she's brought into the Bringers' fold, her own dark secret threatens to be revealed. Desire for a better life wars with a promise made long before she understood the ramifications.
In a deadly mission, Jade and Luc embark on a journey into the Shadow World. As they attempt the impossible, ignoring the attraction growing between them becomes harder to deny. The slightest misstep could mean the loss of their souls and give the Demon King exactly what he needs to open the Abyss of Souls and annihilate the Bringers.
About the Author:
As a multi-published and an award winning author, Boone's writing drips with experiences from real life. Addicted to anything that might make a good story, she weaves tales that range from dark fantasy to humorous romance. Settled in the icy regions of Alaska with the love of her life and twin daughters, it's not uncommon to find her tapping away on her iPad on a windy beach or the barren tundra. Be warned, anyone and every even is fodder for one of Boone's novels.
