I Like Big Dragons and I Cannot Lie by Lani Lynn Vale Blog Tour with Excerpt and Giveaway AND INTERVIEW

Title: I Like Big Dragons and I Cannot Lie

Series: The Dragon Series #1

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Keifer Vassago, The Prince of Dragons, has enough on his plate without adding a brunette with a bad attitude to the mix

Fate has a way of screwing all his plans, though, whether he wants them screwed or not. One second he’s fetching his brother from yet another situation that could possibly compromise the Vassago name, and the next that brunette is grabbing his assets.

Blythe isn’t after anyone’s assets, though. She’s a good girl. All she wants is to graduate from nursing school, get a job, and move out of her hell hole apartment. What she does not have time to deal with is a sexy bearded man that accuses her of grabbing his junk.

She tries to forget about the encounter, but fate’s a cruel bitch.

One second she’s a normal college student barely living paycheck to paycheck, and the next she’s setting her panties on fire with powers from an ancient immortal dragon.

To add insult to injury, she’s hearing voices, and none of them are figments of her imagination. Blythe’s life is turned upside down, and Keifer forces her to adapt even though she doesn’t want to. She likes her life just the way it is.

Not to mention she wants nothing to do with that arrogant asshole. She doesn’t care that he rides a dragon. She also could care less about his stupid beard, and his sexy eyes.

Yeah, who was she kidding? She wasn’t convincing anybody.

INTERVIEW WITH LANI

1.  Did you always want to be an author?  How did you get started writing?

 

No, I didn’t.  I wanted to be a police officer, but they said I was too timid and they didn’t think I’d be a good fit.  So I decided to write about them instead!  🙂  As for the getting started bit, I read my mom’s favorite book (No, I won’t tell you which one!) and I hated it!  HATED!  The ending was terrible, and they both end up alone.  So I rewrote my own ending, and the rest is history.

2.  You release approximately 11 books a year; that’s way more than any other author. How do you manage to write and release so many books in a year?

I actually have a back log.  I’m currently writing books all the way into next year.  The book I’m writing now will likely release around March or April of next year.

3.  Which of your books did you have the most fun writing?  Which one was the most difficult to write and why?

Trance and Viddy–Kevlar To My Vest–was my favorite book to write as was Boomtown.  The words seemed to flow straight from my brain to the computer without any hesitation on my part.


4.  You have a very unique and finely honed sense of humor. Your characters can get into some really crazy situations.  Do you draw from real-life situations for inspiration?

Oh yes, most of the situations are real life.  They’ve either happened to me, or someone I know.

5.  When you aren’t reading or writing, what do you like to do with your free time?

What free time?  LOL. No, if I have free time (note I said IF) then I spend it with my husband and kids out at our land and poke around.  Ride four wheelers, shoot guns. That sort of stuff.

6.  Something you’re well known for, aside from the sheer number of books you release in a year, are those little quotes, conversation snippets or witty bits of advice at the start of each chapter. I call them Lani-isms, and your fans love them. Where do they come from?
Everywhere.  Bumper stickers I see driving down the road.  A shirt that some man is wearing in the coffee line.  I also have a lovely friend who sends me e-cards. 🙂

I woke up to my lower half on fire.

At first, I thought it was just an aftereffect of my dreams, but when I finally peeled my eyes open, I could smell smoke.

When I opened my lids and looked down, it was to literally find my panties on fire.

 

I screamed and rolled; rolling so far in the bed that I hit the floor and kept going.

 

By the time the fire was finally out, my panties were burned to ash. However, my skin was perfectly fine. In fact, the hairs that I’d planned on having waxed later in the week were gone.

It’d given me a fire waxing…minus the wax.

 

“What the fuck?” I yelled, staring down at my now hair-free mound.

 

Blasphemy.

 

 

My eyes widened and I looked around. Was someone in the room with me?

 

 

I started reaching for the lamp but couldn’t find it. There was a pile of things beside the bed that I’d knocked over in my haste to get up. I could only assume that the lamp was one of those things.

 

 

“Light, light, light,” I chanted, shifting through the things on the floor.

 

 

My candles that I had interspersed around the room all lit at once, and I screamed.

 

 

“What the hell is going on?” I shrieked.

 

 

Macy started hammering on the wall, or her boyfriend. Whatever. Fuck her.

 

 

I narrowed my eyes at the wall.

 

 

That stupid heifer! I’m allowed to scream if I want to. She fucks day and night, and she’s going to bang on my wall to get meto quiet down?

 

 

Master Farrow has always had excellent stamina with the ladies.

 

 

I froze, turning around and scanning the room.

 

 

“Who’s there?” I asked nervously.

 

 

A deep, rumbly laugh filled my head and my eyes widened.

 

 

“Holy mother of God, get out of my head!” I yelled.

 

 

The voice in my head continued to chuckle. Oh, this is almost as good as when Prince Keifer came into his powers. He didn’t shriek like you do, though.

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
