IT IS OUR PLEASURE AT MY BOOK ADDICTION AND MORE TO WELCOME NANA MALONE AS TODAY’S GUEST…..
WELCOME NANA MALONE,MULTICULTURAL ROMANCE WRITER…
Brief bio and image from the author’s website:
Waiting for my chance at a job as a ninja assassin, I, meantime work out my drama, passion and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and kick butt as I thinks I am. Though, until that ninja job comes through, you’ll find me acting out scenes for hubby and puppy while catching up on my favorite reality television shows in sunny San Diego.
MEET NANA MALONE…..
MBA&M: Tell our readers about Nana Malone?
NM: I’ve lived all over the world but my family is originally from Ghana. Growing up, I was always itchy for new adventures and slamming my nose in a book was the easiest, safest way I could manage it. It was during one of my less successful adventures in New York that I decided to actually do something about my writing hobby and aim for publication. It took me eleven years 3 completed manuscripts and more rejections than I care to count but I’m finally here. I live in sunny San Diego where I spend any free time I have chasing around Dear Hubby, nearly two year old daughter and stubborn Scottie puppy.
MBA&M: What if anything made you write “Reluctant Protector”,an erotic paranormal romance?
NM: I was watching reruns of Heroes and was gearing up for the start of Alphas on the SyFy channel. Then I thought, why not a Superhero Romance?
MBA&M: What where some of the challenges in writing “Relucant Protector”?
NM: You mean besides my muse not cooperating when it came to edits? Deciding on the superpowers. There are so many to choose from.
MBA&M: Who,be it animal,character or person is your biggest hero?Why?
NM: My younger brother who is autistic. He’s changed my life dramatically.
MBA&M: Nana, tell our readers a few tidbits about what’s next for Nana Malone?
NM: Slated for release this spring is a sexy interracial, contemporary romance, called Sexy in Stilettos. The sequels for both Sexy in Stilettos and Reluctant Protector will be released later this year.
MBA&M: If you could be anyone or anything, what or who would you want to be at this time in your life?Why?
NM: I wouldn’t want to be anyone other than myself. I’m a very lucky woman. Great husband, great kid and I get to write what I love. Though, it wouldn’t hurt to be JK Rowling. Lol.
MBA&M: Tell our readers where to find you and where “Relucant Protector” is available?
Thank you so much for having me!

When she finds out he plans to sell her as a human weapon she knows it’s now or never. To make her escape she’ll sacrifice family bonds and leave behind the one person who’s ever helped her. Cassie’s learned to shrink from kindness and to never trust anyone. She knows the day Peter finally captures her will be the day she dies. To elude her brother and save the others, she’ll have to risk her body and her heart. What she doesn’t expect is a chance at a normal life.Seth Adams is used to sifting through lies to find the truth. As a former war correspondent he knows what evils lurk in the world. When he finds Cassie hiding out in his car trunk, her story sounds like a fantastical dream.

This looks so cool! I can't wait to get my digital paws on it.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment Laina
Awesome, Greg! Lol, "digital paws" Love it.
Hi! Thanks so much for sharing your story. I, like you, love adventure in books. I wish I was in sunny San Diego (it's raining here across the country in NC)! Good luck on your writing, and on landing that coveted ninja assassin job!
So, if you could have any one super-cool ninja assassin skill, what would it be?
Hi Tamara! *waving* Good question. I think I'd have to go with awesome ability with throwing stars. They just look so cool. I've always wondered how you get them back after you throw them. Are they like boomerangs? Lol.
Wishing you some sunshine in rainy SC!
This book sounds great, Nana! Just what I need to get me through the winter slog.
Thanks for stopping by, Alicia! RP will definitely keep you warm and cozy this winter
Getting back throwing stars? You'd be such an awesome ninja you wouldn't need to get 'em back; you'd hit your target every time! I wouldn't mind some ninja stealth skills. That way I could sneak up on my boys and see what they're up to without their knowledge!
Great interview! Can't wait to read the book. Much success, Nana!
Lol, Tamara. Now that's a skill I need on my little one too. She always seems to know when I'm about to catch her being up to no good.
Hiya Rhonda! Thank you so much for coming on by.
I'd love to read this. As a matter of fact, I think I will. LOL
Hi Nana! Loving your book.:) It was great to learn more about you, the person.

Tweeted the blog post at @staceyjoynetzel and the book sounds really good! Don't like her brother already. Wishing you many sales!
Waving at you Ruth! I hope you do read it, Lol. Let me know how you like Seth and Cassie.
Hiya Cate! Makes me smile to hear you enjoyed it. And that you dig my crazy personality
Thanks Stacey! Glad you stopped by to leave a comment. Don't you worry, I have some nastiness planned for Brother Dearest.
Fabulous cover, looks good!
Thanks Diana! Fabulous Cover artist Kimberly Killion did right by me. I fell in love as soon as I saw it.
Okay – you've hooked me on a great premise.
I also like your personal story.
I'll be getting the book – love unusual paranormal – and this doesn't seem to be the same old/same old.
Best of luck with your writing.

Hiya Mitzi *waving*,
Thanks for the support. I love the paranormal genre and wanted to do something different. Plus, you just have to love a superhero.
I adore a protective hero. I fall for them every time. I think Reluctant Protector sounds like a story I would enjoy. The story is even more complicated because her brother is the villian. Thans so much for the giveaway!
