Interview
My name is Patricia
T. Macias and I was born in San
Jose, California. I always dreamed of writing and I'm delighted to be achieving
my dream. I graduated from the University of Phoenix with a dual Bachelor of
Science degree. I
currently live in Sacramento, California with my husband and children.
My children and grandchildren are my pride and joy. I enjoy reading
romance and paranormal novels. I also enjoy spending quality time with
family and friends.
What do you want your readers to know about your book?
I want my readers
to know that this book is the first one in the De La Cruz Saga. The De La Cruz
Saga is a romantic thriller (with several erotic moments).
The first novel
is Hot & Spicy. This novel is about Jose Enrique De La Cruz. He is the
eldest of the thirteen cousins.
The saga takes
place in California. Each novel is about one of cousin's unique love story. The
Mexican traditions are strong in the De La Cruz family and the cousins struggle
to honor their customs.
The De La Cruz
family encounters conflict and threats from the Mexican cartel. The De La Cruz
cousins fight to stay true to their integrity and beliefs in their struggle
with the Mexican cartel. The family is assisted by the Navy Seals, FBI, and
other government agencies. The De La Cruz's must overcome heartaches and
obstacles before achieving their happy ending.
These novels are
written in Spanglish (very, very light Spanglish). The glossary is located in
the back of the book. I believe it is an enjoyable and easy method to learn
basic Spanish.
Do you have any excerpts, blurbs, examples from your book that
you would like to share?
A small blurb from my book -
Chapter Seven
Enrique sits at the conference table waiting for his novia to show up. I just want to be here before they do so I can take a good look at her before they realize I’m here. I have a good feeling about this. I have been endeavoring to remember Paty’s amigas from high school. I don’t recall any of them coming over to la casa. Paty is right. I never paid attention to them. I was too busy studying, going to school, y assisting on mi free time at la familia’s company. I have faith in Paty. Paty says mi novia is hermosa, smart, y muy sexy.
Paty y Jessy
are laughing as they enter the conference room. Jessy steps into
the cuarto first. Oh dios mio, Jose Enrique is waiting. He
looks hotter than ever before. Mi corazon will not stop pounding. Mi
chest, it’s going to explode. I’m going to die. I’m going to stop
breathing.
Take a deep
breath, stay calm. I need to be professional, sophisticated,
y sexy. Yeah, right! Geez! Smile and greet him. I need to put mi
portfolio on the desk and be ready for his greetings, thought
Jessy. Take control. Don’t tremble y definitely do not sweat. Okay, I
can do this. Smile.
Jose Enrique
observes his novia enter the cuarto first. Dios mio, Wow!
Gracias dios mio. It’s the bella chica that I saw at the club on
Friday. I do owe Paty big, big time. Smiling, Jose Enrique approaches his
novia reaching out to enfold her in a tight hug. “Hola, novia
mia,” Jose Enrique said proceeding to give her a beso.
What is he
doing? He is kissing me! Relax. Return his beso, thought Jessy.
Jose Enrique
almost releases her when he feels her tremble y stiffens. He
is about to step back and release her when he feels her
relax. Dios mio, I have never felt so much attraction in a simple beso.
Her lips are so soft y silky. She tastes like heaven. She’s
trembling. Hmmm maybe I am scaring her. I should stop this beso. Jose
Enrique feels her melting into him as she parts her lips inviting
him to deepen the beso.
Jose Enrique
did not stop to think. He takes full advantage softly
entering her mouth to explore every sweet inch. She feels so good. She
feels like she is made especially para me. Jose Enrique
feels her brazos creep up around his neck. She is responding
to his beso. He feels her tongue slipping slowly past his lips
deepening his beso. He then hears her moan.
Jessy lost
track of time y forgot all about Paty. I cannot think. Oh dios mio, I
have dreamt of Jose Enrique’s besos forever. He is so hot y
sexy. I always knew he would smell scrumptious. He smells like
spice and sandalwood. He tastes better than I could ever image. I
need to get closer to him. Jessy takes a step closer rising up on
tiptoes. I need more of him, thought Jessy.
Okay, this has
to stop, thought Paty. They forgot all about me y the meeting.
Jose Enrique doesn’t even remember her. Great! This is
getting out of hand.
……..hmmmm soo steamy...pick up a copy to enjoy the rest of this chapter♥
How did this writing process begin?
It all began with
a dream. I dreamed my story over and over again. I decided to write this novel
after several weeks of dreaming about all of these characters. I started
brainstorming and organizing it into outlines.
I developed each
character’s personalities, interests, and personal love story.
I kept on track
and was able to create cohesive plots by using a calendar as a timeline.
I want to write feasible and believable stories that evolve
around events that are transpiring in each cousin’s life in the same period of
time.
What challenges, if any, did you encounter?
My biggest
challenge has been the marketing of my novel. I’m learning and thoroughly
enjoying promoting, meeting interesting people, and blogging. I truly wish I
had started to write earlier in my life.
Are there any other projects that you are working on?
The project I’m
currently working on is Hot & Forbidden.
Hot & Forbidden
is about two of the cousins falling in love. The forbidden is always enticing.
How do Nicolas and Daniella deal with their forbidden love? Why is their love
forbidden? How can they overcome the obstacles without losing their love? La
familia has a secret. Can this be the key that will set their love free? Hot
& Forbidden will be available in a few months.
Hot &
Enchanting will be available at the end of the year or the beginning of 2013.
I also have the
additional ten novels almost finished. I wrote each one as I progressed in
writing Hot & Spicy. These novels interlock and evolve in the same period
of time in each cousin’s life
Is there anything that you want to share with your readers about
yourself?
I want you to
know that I have always dreamed of writing since I was young. I'm a new
author. I love writing and I'm extremely happy to be achieving my dream.
I'm married, have
three children, and three grandchildren. My family is my pride and joy. I love
spending quality time with my family and friends. I love to read romance and paranormal books.
