Interview With the Awesome Deanna Dee

Deanna Dee


Preorder Finish Him

This year Deanna contacted me to review one of her books "One Fling to Rule Them All" and I'm so glad I did! It was so different from your normal romance and I absolutely love it! Now she is releasing the last companion novel to her series "Finish Him" and I couldn't be more thrilled. She was kind enough to let me Interview her! Thank you so much Deanna I had so much fun reading your responses! It's always so fun working with you.





1. In your own words, please describe the book.
Finish Him is the third book in my Games of Love series. It’s about two twenty-somethings (Sonya and Jaxon) who find love through gaming and some other stuff. It’s also about Sonya’s relationship with her older sister and her quest to find herself. And there’s some geek references thrown in there for good measure.


2. What genre/genres does your book fall under?
Excellent question. I’m still figuring that out myself. The age of the characters puts it at new adult, but the heat level is low for what new adult romance usually has. I enjoy calling it “geek romance,” but that’s not quite its own thing yet. So if anyone has any suggestions, let me know. J

3. What was your inspiration behind your book?
I read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and loved it. The geek references spoke to me. Combine that with never feeling like I’d found a romance written about “me” (the quirky sidekick), and I wanted to take the geek of RPO and combine it with the romance about the girls usually cast as the brainiac sister or spunky best friend. Ta-da, Finish Him and its siblings were born.

4. So far, what has been the greatest moment in your writing career?
Hitting “publish” on the first book in the series. I’ll never forget the feeling of knowing I’d seen the project through from start to finish and actually put it into the world for people to read.

5. How did you come up with the title of your book?
Finish Him focuses a lot on video games. The phrase” finish him” is one used in a lot of arena fighting games as the signal for one player to finish off another. “Completing” someone is a common thing in romance. “Complete” and “finish” are similar. Geek romance, complete, finish…Finish Him. Done.

6. How long does it take you to finish a novel?
I can write a rough draft in a month if I really motivate myself. The entire process (chapter 1 to publish) is usually between 3 and 6 months—draft, two or three rounds of edits, beta, edits, editor, final edits, format, upload.

7. If there was one thing you could tell your readers, what would it be?
I’d welcome them to my corner of insanity and thank them for stopping in.

8. How can readers connect with you?
I can be found at the following haunts.
Goodreads

Join me at these various locations for book stuff, geek stuff, and romance stuff.

9. What advice do you have for aspiring young authors?
Two things. First, keep writing. You can’t edit a blank page. Second, get some kind of training, whether it’s a workshop or reading how-to books. Lots of people have natural talent, but natural talent only goes so far. Put the extra initiative into your career. It will pay off.

10. Can you tell us something about the writer behind the book?

She likes to talk in the third person. Also, she lives for good times with good people, 65 degree sunny days, and blue skies.

One Fling To Rule Them All

Rating: ★★
Date Published: June 9, 2015
Publisher: Self Published
Page Count: 178
Genre: New Adult Contemporary 
Meet The Author: Deanna Dee Goodreads Page

Synopsis:

It began with the forging of a great friendship.

For three months, Lydia Bell has watched Craig, her best friend and the love of her life, be in a happy relationship with someone else. But she’s over it. Or thinks she is until she hears Craig’s voice on the phone. Desperate to put her romantic feelings behind, she joins her roommates for a night out. Maybe she'll meet someone.

And meet someone she does—a guy named Scott, who looks a lot like Craig. Despite their awkward introduction, flaming arrows fly, and soon Lydia is running off the dance floor to get away from feelings she shouldn't have. So much for getting over Craig, and so much for Scott.

Until Monday morning, that is. Turns out Scott goes to her school. Worse, they share a class. As if that’s not weird enough, Scott is also trying to get over someone. To help both Lydia and himself, he proposes a fling, and reluctantly, Lydia agrees. Now she just has to hope this fling rules and doesn't crash into a fiery mountain.


My Thoughts:

The author was kind enough to send me an Ecopy of her book in exchange for an honest review! I absolutely loved this book; I had a goofy grin throughout the whole thing. 

Our main character Lydia has been in love with her childhood friend Craig, but he has a girlfriend; Scott is in love with Cath and she doesn't seem to be interested. One night Lydia decides to go out to club with her roommates and is there where she bumps into Scott who turns out to be in one of her classes. When she bumps into Craig and Molly she fibs and tells them there is more than friendship between her and Scott. When Scott sees that Lydia and himself are in similar situations he proposes they have a fling to try and get over Cath and Craig. 


I adored this book! I felt that both Scott and Lydia's situation was very relatable; who hasn't been in love at one point in their lives, knowing the other person doesn't share the same feelings. I loved the author's writing style it just kept me turning pages; I also really liked the character development both Lydia's and Scotts. I just want to take a moment to ask the author, where I can find myself a Scott?! He was absolutely perfect so swoon worthy! I would love to read more books about Lydia and Scott in the future. I also really enjoyed how the author wove in a game similar to Dungeons and Dragons it made the book so different from other contemporaries and even more enjoyable. The unexpected twist she hit me with really took me by surprise,I didn't see it coming. Overall I loved, loved this book! Everyone needs to pick it up is such a fast, fluffy read that everyone will enjoy. There is a book before this one, but is a companion and does not have to be read before this one.
