Meet Laura Kaye at Readers & ‘ritas this November!

As part of our countdown to Readers & ‘ritas 2017, our Meet the Author interview series helps you get to know the authors joining us in Texas on November 10-12. Read on to get acquainted with New York Times bestselling author Laura Kaye, and purchase your tickets to meet her in person at Readers & ‘ritas!

What book made you fall in love with the genre you write?

I think I'd have to go with a series, and it would be J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. It had everything I love: intense romance and chemistry, amazing heroes, bromance and brotherhood, strong women, humor (so much humor!), and vampires!

If a movie were made of your most recent book, who would you cast in the lead and why?

For my erotic strangers-to-lovers romance, EYES ON YOU, I would cast an older Alex Pettyfer as Master Wolf Henrikson and Love Actually's Martine McCutcheon as Olivia Foster.

What was the first story you ever wrote?

I wrote stories as a teenager, and I can specifically remember writing a paranormal retelling of The Secret Garden and a fictional time travel story called Peter Saves the Czar, about a teenager who goes back in time to save the Russian royal family before the Russian Revolution erupts. But the first novel I wrote that eventually got published was my vampire romance, FOREVER FREED.

If you could change the ending to any famous book, TV show, or movie, what would it be and how would you rewrite it?

LOL! I would totally have Claire stay in the past at the end of the first Outlander book. I mean, everything's better in historical Scotland!

What is your favorite part of meeting your readers (and new readers)?

Everything is amazing about meeting readers! Their enthusiasm for romance. Their love of books. How wonderful they are about supporting authors. And I adore meeting new readers, because that means they have all your books to look forward to. What's better than that?
