BOOK: Belterra (Time After Time) by Carol Ann Kauffman

A Coming of Age Fantasy, 

Sci-fi Romantic Adventure

The Time After Time Series follows a pair of unlikely lovers on their adventures through their many lifetimes together. 

This time the couple is reborn on an alien planet, Belterra. The law forbids not only intermarriage, but interaction between the four clans is discouraged.
Will fate guide them to each other?

Braedon, Lord of the Soldier Clan of the East, often dreamed of a beautiful blonde woman. When he rode into the lavender fields of the West searching for her, he had no idea if she was even real. But there she was, Neeka, daughter of the Lord of the Warrior Clan, waiting for him.

He reached out to her and she accepted his hand, as memories of their previous lives flooded their minds and love warmed their hearts.

Fate can’t keep them apart. What they have is more than love. They’re eternal soulmates. Their everlasting love survived many lifetimes but never without sacrifice and heartache. This lifetime will not be any different.
Can one person make a difference?

Against all odds, the hatred among the clans, her father’s disapproval, and the power-hungry, evil scientists, Neeka fights for their love and the right to be together, changing not only their lives but the course of life, love, freedom, and the political structure of their planet forever.

INTERVIEW: British Romance Author Joanna Cates

Joanna Cates

The Garden of England

Kent, England UK

Good morning, Joanna, and welcome to Vision and Verse, the site for Art and Authors. We're delighted to have you with us this morning. Can you tell us a little about what you've written?

Romance novel – Love is Crystal Clear

I’m currently working on book two in the trilogy, A Balancing Kind of Love.

 

What is your favorite genre to write?

Romance

                                                                

Favorite food.

Stir Fry, blueberries, and lemon drizzle cake (although not all together).

 

Tea or coffee?

Both. The first and last cup of the day is a cup of tea. 

 

Pizza or ice cream?

Pizza, especially if it has a sour-dough base.

 

Wine or beer or soda or what?

Vodka or prosecco

 

Where would you like to visit?

New Zealand, Vienna, Goa, Hawaii and so many other places.

 

Favorite musical artist.  

Mumford & Sons

Do you listen to music when you write?

Yes.

What?

Mumford & Sons or House Music. 

 

What makes you laugh?

TV series Schitts Creek, Grace & Frankie

 

Favorite work of art or sculpture.

I love photography and one of my favorite artists is Jerry Uelsmann, so I would have to say anything by him.

 

How old were you when you started writing?

50 years old.

 

Do you plan out your book with outlines and notecards? 

Or just write?

I just write and outline the plots when I am doing the house work.

 

Describe your perfect evening.

A night out with friends, dancing the night away and drinking espresso martinis.

 

Where did you get the inspiration for Love is Crystal Clear? 

It's getting rave reviews!                                                 

Love is Crystal Clear was partly inspired by my own journey. I am a born romantic and am happily married and a mother of 4 children and like my main characters, I am in my fifties. For a while, I had doubts about my own marriage, although writing Love is Crystal Clear has rekindled our romance and I am deeply in love with my husband again. Whilst of course fiction, I also wanted to include many elements females will relate to, such as the experience of the menopause and trying to thrive in love after so many years of either being single or in a marriage that has hit a bump in the road.

 

What do you do when you get a writer's block?

Fingers crossed, I haven’t suffered with major writer’s block so far. I sometimes get stuck on a paragraph but never the plot.

 

Who is your favorite author?

I can’t choose just one so I would have to say Jilly Cooper, Nick Spalding, Olivia Spring, Bella Forrest. 

  

Best book you ever read.

All the books in The Rutshire Chronicles by Jilly Cooper. Riders was published in 1986 so I will re-read the series. I’ve grown up with the likes of Rupert Campbell-Black.

 

Last book you read.

My fiction read was The Middle-Aged Virgin in Italy by Olivia Spring and my non-fiction read was Polish Your Prose by Harmony Kent.

 

What would you do for a living if you weren’t a writer?

I still work as an accountant, although my aim is to become a full-time writer in the not-too-distant future.

 

Who is the one person who has influenced your personal life the most and why?

This will be my husband. Together we have raised four beautiful children. He has supported and encouraged me in everything I do.

                                                

 

If you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why?

The British actress Joanna Lumley. She has had such an outstanding career and I would love to talk to her about her life’s journey. She’s travelled the world…

 

What advice would you give someone who aspired to be a writer?

Always believe in yourself and find a good editor.

Do you have some links for us to follow you?
