UFI welcomes Monica Corwin Author of Down the Rabbit Hole . Thanks for Joining us!!
What can you tell my readers about yourself that they might not know from
looking on your bio or reading in another interview?
Possibly that I am a raging caffeine addict. It all started during my
military service and I haven't been able to shake it no matter how hard I try. I
can drink coffee before bed and sleep just fine…that's how bad it is.
What do you enjoy doing on your down time?
Reading usually, walking around town, and cross-stitching. Sometimes I need
to get out of books and do things that set me in reality while still allowing me
to feel artistic.
What is your Favorite part of writing?
I love bringing to life my imagination. It's a dark and dangerous place and I
love others to see what makes me…well me.
Do you have any certain routines you must follow as you write?
Not really. I have to use certain pens if I am writing by hand. But that is
about it. I need to develop some…maybe I'll write better.
What are some of your Favorite books or Authors in the Urban Fantasy/
Paranormal Genres?
Once upon a time it was The Mists of Avalon but I heard something terrible
about the author and I can't look at the books the same anymore. Now I would
have to sat Written in Red (and the series) by Anne Bishop are my favorite in
PNR/UF world. I am also a big fan of Kresley Cole's super-long PNR series as
well as J.R. Ward's BDB.
How would you pitch Down the Rabbit Hole to someone who has not
heard of it before?
It's a sexy Alice in Wonderland flavored romp through the lives of a barista
and a cop in the midst of a hunt for a serial killer.
Can you tell us a little bit about the world that Down the Rabbit Hole
is set in?
It's just set in everyday contemporary America. Nothing fantastical.
Do you have a favorite scene in Down the Rabbit Hole?
I like the candy part in the love scene. If you read it you know what I mean.
Which character was your favorite to write about? What about the hardest
to write about?
I like Officer March in this story. I can't tell you more or I'll give the
twist away but…he is my favorite as I like writing characters like him
What Other Projects can we look forward to reading from you?
In the Wonderland Tales I also have a second story called Paint the Roses Red
and toward the end of March I have a novella coming out called You May Kiss the
Bride.

Elsa Waters works long
hours running The Rabbit Hole, a coffee shop in the center of town. Her
only dreams consist of keeping the business afloat and the sexy police
officer who doesn't even notice her on his daily coffee run.
Officer
Harris March tried everything in the book to get Elsa to show some sort
of interest in him. Finally a dangerous idea takes root in his mind and
he decides to risk it all for the chance to have the woman of his
dreams.
On a cold and rainy night two people begin to believe the impossible as their long held fantasies are finally realized.

Excerpt:
She smiled and rearranged herself on the couch in an
attempt to at least look more attractive. As alluring as one could possibly be
while covered in coffee bean dust. But as she moved so did he. When her elbow
hit the wall her funny bone pinged, and she dropped her cup of warm coffee right
in his lap.
"Oh my God. I'm so sorry!" She jumped up to help him.
"It's ok. It's not hot, but I should probably dry these."
"Here let me," she said dropping to her knees in front of him. Before she
could even think about the situation she had his belt open and then stood to
help him out of his pants.
"This really is a full service place," he said with a chuckle.
She jerked away from him as realization dawned.
"I'm such an idiot tonight," Elsa said as she turned away so he wouldn't see
the tears pooling at the corners of her eyes.
She heard the rustle of cloth and turned back around to find him standing in
a white T-shirt, black boxer briefs, and his socks. A naked pistol was clutched
in his hand. He laid the gun on the coffee table. Elsa gathered his clothes and
took them to the dryer in the other room. Luckily she had washed all the towels
in the shop earlier, or he'd have been stuck in wet clothes all night.
When she came back into the room, she found him lounging just as he had been
completely comfortable in his partial nudity.
