Rachael Thomas on the web:
1. If you have a pen name,
can you explain how you came up with it?
I don’t have a pen name
as I entered Harlequin’s So You Think You Can Write competition in 2013 under
my name, never thinking it would be the start of my career as a published
author.
2. What are a few things
we would find on your desk?
I’m
a lover of post-it notes, so have an assortment of colours, shapes and sizes. I
also have sheets detailing my characters for the book I’m currently writing and
my often used supply of pencils, as I love scribbling notes in pencil.
3. What motivates you to
write?
The characters which
slip into my head demanding I tell their story. It’s also something I’ve done
for about ten years now and I can’t imagine what I’d do if I didn’t write.
4. Share something about
yourself no one else knows?
My
favourite flowers are tulips and I treat myself to them in the spring.
5.Tell us about your
book…
As I am a horse lover, I
was excited when Destiny, a horse whisperer heroine came to me, quickly
followed by a sheikh tortured by tragic events from the past.
Sheikh Zafir Al Asmari
is on the verge of taking a wife out of duty to his country, but first he must
deal with the demons he has after the death of his younger sister when she fell
from his stallion, who has been difficult and unruly since the tragedy. Destiny
Richards has been recommended to him as a woman who has a way with troubled
horses and he makes a deal with her she just can’t refuse. Little does he know
that in healing his stallion, Destiny will heal the torment in his heart and
become the woman he wants as his wife at any price, even turning his back on
his duty to his kingdom.

I'm a big Post It Note person too. I have several colors and sizes on my desk. You should always treat yourself to something you like. I treat myself to a small box of Figi's Chocolate Truffles each year around Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI'm never without Post-it notes Mary and the Chocolate truffles sound delicious. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteTerrific answers! Tulips are my favourite flowers as well... we have a festival devoted to them starting here in a few days.
ReplyDeleteA Tulip festival! How lovely! I wish I could be there to see it. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteI wish Queendsland's climate was cool enough to grow tulips! Love them!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely. Thanks for stopping by Denise.
DeleteTulips are my favourite flowers too. My daughter brought me some bulbs back from Amsterdam and I've just sent her a pic of the beautiful bright red flowers in full bloom. Her reply? They were supposed to be black! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all their colours Andie. The more the merrier!
DeleteThis looks like a great read. I adore tulips. It's interesting to learn what's on a writer's desk.
ReplyDeleteMy desk usually gets more untidy the nearer I get to a deadline Medeia!
DeleteI like the sound of this story. Tulips are beautiful flowers. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Misha! Thanks for commenting.
DeleteDefinitely intriguing! Got to love a story where love defies all.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. I had fun writing it too!
DeleteWhat Elizabeth said! I like reading about two headstrong people who force their way together -- and convince the world their love is real!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have put it better Deniz!
DeleteOoh! I love the premise. Seriously love.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading this interview. Congratulations on the release of your book!
