I sat down (virtually) with Amy Ruttan for a short interview. Amy Ruttan writes hot erotic romances for Ellora’s Cave and her latest release is Private Release, a very sexy paranormal. I love Amy to bits. She is a great writer and an even better friend. I feel extremely grateful to know her!
Cynthia Sax: Where did you get the idea for Private Release?
Amy Ruttan: The idea stemmed from Mounted Release. The heroine’s brother just barged his way in and then I had emails from readers requesting Jared’s story. Jared’s clan was left in ruins by Levi (villain from Mounted Release), so he had to go home and clean up the pieces.
Cynthia Sax: What causes problems between Adele and Jared?
Amy Ruttan: The conflict is she’s not a Mukswa. She’s not a bear shifter and the bear shifter society is secret. He wants to be with her, but he’s chief, how can he marry an outsider?
Cynthia Sax: Is this a series and will you be writing more stories in this series?
Amy Ruttan: Yes, this is a series. It’s the second book. The first book is Mounted Release. The stories are standalone though. There is a third book in the works.
Cynthia Sax: What one piece of advice would you give new writers?
Amy Ruttan: Never give up! Believe in yourself and keep trying. We all get rejections, but if you want it reach out and take it.
Thank you, Amy Ruttan, for joining us today!
