Lorelei Confer lives
on a peninsula in the mid-west coast of Florida with her high school
sweetheart, now husband, and AJ, her long haired Chihuahua.
In the fourth grade,
she wrote her first story—something about getting a shot at the doctors—that
was produced by the teacher for parents and students in an assembly. When she
was older, she spilled her guts in a journal every night and wrote long newsy
love letters to Viet Nam.
She is a
multi-published author of romantic suspense with two series: The Deadly series
and the Saddle Creek series. She also has written numerous novellas and short
stories. She loves to hear
from her readers so if you want to stay “in the know” visit her website, sign
up for her newsletters and contact her.
Lorelei Confer adds a new voice to anthology,
Romances on the Range, where a horse breeder meets a sexy baker who
discovers a cowboy’s sweet spot.
Beverley: Which genre or
genres do you write or prefer to write? And why?
Lorelei: I write romantic
suspense. I started writing in the fourth grade and then diaries and journals
about real life, glum as it was in rural PA. Then I grew up and wrote about
feelings and emotions and what if something terrible happened. A few years ago,
I tried writing plain contemporary romance but got stuck about five short
chapters in; I added suspense and the Saddle Creek series was started.
Beverley: Who influenced you
the most in deciding to become a writer?
Lorelei: My fourth grade teacher, my seventh grade teacher, my eleventh
gr….mostly teachers. It’s what I excelled in. And also it was a way to get my
angst about adulting, men, war, etc. out and on paper.
Beverley: What gets your creative juices flowing?
Lorelei: Thinking about my current wip. Currently, I’m working on the 5th
book in the Saddle Creek series; the Sheriff’s story. I started writing it in
pieces while writing the other four stories in the series but when I sat down
to write, I’m a pantster, (writing by the seat of my pants) the story took and
an entirely different direction.
Beverley: Do you have a
favorite cartoon character? Why?
Lorelei: I’ve always loved
the west and “shoot ‘em up cowboys.” My brother and I, as children, would play
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. And then I remember Mighty Mouse (really dating
myself here) he always swooped in and saved the day.
Beverley: Who would you love
most to meet 'in person' and why?
Lorelei: I love Sam Elliott;
such a handsome and versatile actor but I think I’d like to Talk to Tom
Sellick. I’ve admired his long-term marriage and family-comes- first attitude.
Beverley: If you had an
unexpected free day what would you do with it?
Lorelei: Read and anp, much
like Easter day. Lol
Beverley: What are you working
on now?
Lorelei: I have five releases this year: two in
the Deadly series: Deadly Homecoming and Deadly Gamble, two in the Saddle Creek
series: Moonlight Kisses and MugShots and A Christmas Romance and then I have a
short story, a spin off from the Saddle Creek series, A Cowboy’s Sweet Spot, is
a part of the Romances on the Range.
The two Deadly releases are available now at Amazon for $.99 and
Fr$$ for KU. A Cowboy’s Sweet Spot is a part of the Romances on the Range, also
$.99 at Amazon, and debuts April 14th with a huge Facebook release
party 1pm-1pm. You’ll meet authors like Desiree Holt, Nicole Morgan, Krista
Ames, Amber Daulton, and many more. They’re be games, contests, prizes and lots
of fun.
Here’s the link to the party: https://www.facebook.com/events/642236899940404/
Moonlight Kisses and MugShots is the Sheriff’s story in the Saddle
Creek series and plans to debut mid-August.
And then there’s the second Christmas story in the Saddle Creek
Christmas Romance, where all the characters from the series share a special
Christmas together and each couple learns the true meaning of Christmas.
I’m also working on another Deadly book, Deadly Intuition, but I’m
still in the research process for that one.
I definitely have my work cut out for me, not just the writing and
the editing but also the promo. It seems to take more and more time with each
new release.

Hi everyone! Thank you Beverley for having me here today and letting me share my writing career. I love Ask Me Anything day so let's do that today. I shared quite a bit with Beverley but I have to tell you, a few weeks ago someone asked me about my first date with my husband of 50 years. Yes, I know, I'm old. We were married in between his two tours in Viet Nam; it was very hard way to start a marriage. Remembering still evokes so many memories that I had to release, so I've written most of them in my books. I'm always looking for names for my characters so you'd like me to use your name in one of my books, please let me know. I'll make sure to acknowledge you in the book. SO, let's get this going. Ask me anything, and I'll tell you no lies. Lorelei
