Hello Alexa!  Thanks so much for doing an interview!!!
We can start with the more serious then move to the fun shortly.

What inspired you to start writing?
For me, writing is more of a passion than an inspiration.  It's something I have to do.

Who are the authors who inspired you?
I was inspired to self-publish by indie authors like Theresa Ragan and John Locke.  In the romantic suspense genre, I love the writings of Allison Brennan, Laura Griffin, Karen Robards, Christy Reece, and Catherine Mann.

What lead you to the idea of the Deadly Trilogy?  They are amazing and impossible to put down once you start.
I wanted to create a romantic suspense trilogy in a rural setting (in Indiana) using everyday characters involved in extraordinary circumstances.  You won't find princes or billionaires in my books, but you will find characters with interesting personalities, unique wants and needs, passion and sense of humor.  I hope the Deadly Trilogy books appeal to romance and romantic suspense readers who like spunky, intelligent heroines and sizzling hot heroes with hearts of gold. 

After the final book, Deadly Relations, in the Deadly Trilogy comes out what do you plan on writing next?
What I am hearing from readers (loud and clear) is that they want me to continue the Deadly Trilogy in a series adding relationships and adventures, so that is exactly what I am going to do.  One thing I've promised myself from the beginning is to stay close to my readers and listen to them.
  You just made my day!  I can't wait! 

ON TO THE FUN! <3
If your passport could have 3 stamps what would they be?
 Italy, Ireland, and Australia.

If your books were to become movies who would star?
You'd think this question would be a lot easier to answer than it is.  But here goes.
For Deadly Offerings, I'd have Evan Rachel Wood play Anne and Colin Egglesfield play Michael.
For Deadly Deception, Charlize Theron would play Frankie and Joe Manganiello would portray Lane.
What office supply can’t you resist buying even though you have plenty?
Post-it notes!  I can't live without my sticky notes.  :)
 Me Too!  I love those suckers!  
What’s your fave?
Cleaning tip? I have allergies, so I've learned to put a little bleach in any wash loads with my bed linens. Bleach is known to kill dust mites and other allergens.
Place for Vacay? Savannah, Georgia.  We try to make a couple of trips to Savannah a year.  It is one of my favorite places.
Food?  Fried green tomatoes.
Beverage? Sweet Iced Tea
Thing to do in amusement park?   I have great memories riding the Tilt-a-Whirl with my sister, brother and cousin when we were kids at each county fair in Indiana.
Coffee or tea?  Both.  I have to have coffee to start my day, but I like sweet tea later.

  3. Hello! New follower here :) Alexa Grace is a new to me author, but her Deadly Trilogy sounds so good. I love a good romantic suspense book, so I'll always jump on the opportunity to discover new stories and authors. Thank you for the great interview (and I really enjoyed the questions that were quite different from the standard ones) and also for the opportunity to win one of the books.
