I’m writing today with only one hand, and the left at that, courtesy
of a shifty horse and a Mexican beach.
How’s that for an opening line? And an unfortunately true
one. Try typing with your non-dominant hand sometime and marvel at how
difficult a familiar keyboard becomes. So please pardon my brevity and all the
typos!
My accident was a fairly common one, falling backward and
stupidly using my hand to break my fall. But Mexico
was gorgeous and one of my favorite places to be in winter. I crave sun and
warmth this time of year. Perhaps that’s why I’ve placed my witchy Malcolm
characters in California —so
I can soak up their heat as I write!
Since I’m supposed to be chatting about
my book and not my boo-boos, here’s the opening line from LURE OF SONG AND
MAGIC: Hollywood ’s hottest
producer seeks former teen sensation to find kidnapped son.
Hard to pack an entire story into one line, but I tried! And
lest you’re left with the impression that this is a romantic suspense, let me
assure you that Pippa and Oz are far too strong-willed to let plot get in the
way of their conflict, or their romance. But have pity on my injured wrist and
go take a look at the excerpt if you doubt me: http://patriciarice.com/Lureexcerpt1.pdf
Sourcebooks is offering books to two lucky commenters. To start things off,
why don’t you tell me if you like a touch of paranormal in your books and why
or why not.

If you prefer, you can reach me through my blog at http://www.patriciarice.blogspot.com
or by stopping by my website at http://patriciarice.com/ and Twitter
hasn’t kicked me out yet: https://twitter.com/#!/Patricia_Rice
So let me know how you like LURE and what you’d like me to
do in the future (besides fall off horses). More Magic books? Historicals?
Contemps?

I do like a touch of paranormal in my books. Contemporary romance will always be my first love, but paranormal romance is my second. I like all the possibilities, especially magic. I really enjoy books with magic. Of course the vampires, shapeshifters, werewolves, and such are good reads too but I do gravitate towards ones with witches.

Sorry, I've been trying to log in but even though I have a blogger account, it's keeping me out. I now have another trick to try. Like magic, if one spell doesn't work, try another!
Linda, I prefer witches to vamps any day. I even have a witch series floating around in my head, but I'd need 4 hands instead of my current one to write everything in my head!
i tend to LOVE paranormals.. but im finding some things are slightly overdone (werewolves, vampires).. this one sounds phenomenal and really unique though, i would love to see more like this (magic is one of my fav things to read about)

I like a touch of paranormal in my stories, it adds a little bit of mystery.

I love a touch of paranormal in my books, or even a lot more than a touch. It just adds more excitement and interest to me, to have unexplained or unexplainable elements in the story. I think The Lure of Song and Magic sounds fantastic and I can't wait to read it. Hope your wrist is better soon Patricia!

It's actually my goal to read more paranormal romance in 2012 - since it sounds like this one fits the bill, I'll be looking for it.

Glad to see my love of paranormal is shared! Thanks for the kind words and the doc says the cast comes off 2/3!
I do like paranormal. It adds so much more excitement. It also adds a bit of the unknown. You never know what to expect when paranormal is added in.

A touch of paranormal can be very exciting. Worlds created & beings limited only by the imagination.
