Featured Interview With Isabell Lawless
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Isabell is a Swedish-bred tale teller now living in sunny California since her early twenties. She always dreamed about being a rock star and make it onto the Hollywood scene, she even wrote more than one hundred rock and pop songs. Out of the blue she got hit by the big love train and ended up marrying an oil operator and is now happily married and dots around the house with their daughter and two cats. Surviving on vanilla flavored coffee when the days seem too long she has made it very clear that baby nap-time is mommy’s writing and reading time.
Isabell’s first book, “Beast of Venery”, was published on Amazon Kindle and stays true to her favorite genres: steamy romance and criminal suspense.
She is bilingual using English as her second language, but get’s the grammar and slight text editing done by a nice oil operator she knows.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve always had a fascination with books, and as a child I was always engulfed in books or magazines, doing weekly trips to the library with the family. Unfortunately, one high-school teacher wiped my reading interest of the map and it was not until many years later that I got back into it.
I started writing stories as early as 5th grade when one of the new textbooks in classroom contained introduction to stories and as a student you had to come up with a plot and finish them. I still dream about that book. It was my favorite subject of the week.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors are pretty diverse, depending on what mood I’m in. Late Randy Pausch was a fantastic story teller, and I’ve learned so many things from reading his biography. Codi Gary, Stacey Kennedy, Lori Wilde, and Kylie Scott write fantastic stories with a mixture of steamy romance and comedy.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Not wasting a second, the moving truck with its crew packed up all her belongings, and she finally hit the road away from hell, once and for all.
At least that was her plan.
Years later; in a new town, with a new job, and a wonderful hot contractor as a husband, an email shakes up the happy life she has manage to rebuild for herself. A life far away from denigrating accusations, cruel demands, and sexual domination.
Now her ex Brian has found her, and won’t accept anything less than for her to come back home.
She needs to come back to him. Come home.
She belongs to him. And him only.
An anonymous package arrives at their door on a Friday afternoon and the sense of being continuously watched interrupts Danielle and Andy’s everyday life.
The happily married couple begin to realize who is behind it all, even though seven whole years have gone since that moving truck sped down the gravel road and far, far away. Leaving all trace of Danielle’s existence in Brian’s life.
The night of the restaurant opening downtown will forever be etched in their memory.
That was the night they came across Brian inside their dining room. Just waiting for the right time to reappear in Danielle’s life.
The night when he unleashed his pent up rage and sexual dominance upon her once again.
That was the night he took her naked on the table nominating Andy to watch their sexual encounter. All of it. Proving every single inch of her body still belonged to him.
There are consequences to aggravating him, and since Danielle is not responding to his demands, he will come back for more.
With Brian’s unstable personality still on the lose the questions remain:
Are they going to stay at their newly renovated house in the south now that he has found her and fight him on their grounds when he returns, or try to outrun this predator once more leaving a tight-knit family and everything they have built together behind?
The waiting game has started.
When will he be back? What does he plan to do this time?
Somehow this nightmare must end, even if it means that someone will get hurt again.
Seriously hurt.
The questions is just, who is it going to be this time?
Beast of Venery is a semi-autobiographical romantic thriller that follows Danielle fleeing an abusive and domineering ex-boyfriend. With the help and support from her new husband and surrounding family she fights his attempts to contact her and touch her in any way possible to get her back into her life
