Hi Hilary,
first of all Congratulations on your Books In a Heartbeat and recently
published Heaven Sent.
Can you please tell us a little about yourself and your books?
Can you please tell us a little about yourself and your books?
Hilary Storm Thank
you! I'm the author of the Rebel Walking Series. The first novel 'In a
Heartbeat' features the drummer, Talon. He has an instant connection with
Eaven. Talon has a past that has darkened him. Eaven brings life back into
Talon and it is great to see the chemistry between them. The second book
'Heaven Sent' features Talon's bad boy twin, Taron and Eaven's best friend,
Ivy. Taron is the lead singer in Rebel Walking. These two are smoking hot and
so far everyone who reads book 1, must have book 2!
A
little about myself.... I'm a mother of three and I was lucky enough to fall in
love with my high school sweetheart. He is the reason I am able to write love
stories with men who love with everything they have. I'm an extremely busy
person and very self motivated to get the job done. My motto is 'Make It
Happen' and that's what I constantly do. I have a fulltime job as an
accountant. Don't judge me! Not all accountants are stiff nerds! I hope to one
day focus entirely on my novels!
Claire Lamb What
inspired you to start writing?
Hilary Storm My
daughter did. She is a very unique person. She loves to express herself through
art and writing. She was playing around with a story and showed it to some
friends. One of them said that it was terrible and that she could never be an
author. My twelve year old little girl is very sensitive. I told her not to let
ANYONE tell her she can't do something. Then I asked her who would be the last
person on Earth that she would expect to write a novel. She said, me of course.
I was so career focused that anyone who knew me personally, thought I had lost
my mind when I told them I was writing. I didn't have time for that and it
confused everyone. Sooooooo I sat down and started writing, just to prove to my
little girl that you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to. You know Woman power
and all that!! She
is now extremely proud of her best selling mom!
Claire Lamb Who
is your favourite author?
Hilary Storm I
always have the hardest time with this one! I love to read books that stick
with me. The kind that burn into my memory and make me feel every emotion the
characters do. CJ Roberts did that for me with her Captive in the Dark Series.
I freaking loved that book. I hated that I loved Caleb, but I did. I rooted for
a kidnapper to win over the girl! That messed with my head and my heart big
time. I have soooo many authors that I love to follow though. I have a list of
authors that make my calendar. When their books are released I rush to Amazon
to ONE CLICK that bitch right away!
Claire Lamb Why
did you choose to write this type of book?
Hilary Storm I
felt comfortable writing this genre. It's the most exciting time in most
people's lives. Falling in love, trying to figure out who you are, and growing
into the woman/man you are meant to be. It's a fun time!
Claire Lamb What
Book are you reading at the moment?
Hilary Storm Fixed
on You by Laurelin Page, but I have must reads lined up!
I've been in my cave for so long and I've missed out on some outstanding new
releases! Mirage by Ashley Suzanne is next up on my Kindle.
Claire Lamb Outside
of writing what do you do to relax?
Hilary Storm I
am a mom of three! We don't relax! But I love every minute of being the mom
that chases them to softball, football, soccer, scouts, orchestra, etc. They
are my life! Outside of them, I enjoy catching up with friends and family.
I
guess a relax for me would be my reading time!
Claire Lamb Where
did the idea for this series come from?
Hilary Storm I
have a best friend that I've had for 26 years. Yes... we were a couple of days
old when we met! (That's my story and I'm sticking to the age thing!) We were
inseparable in junior high and some of high school. Then when it came time to
go away to college, life lead her down a different path. We had always dreamed
of going off to college together. This was as if the two of us had been able to
do that! Ivy and Eaven have our personalities. My husband was a drummer and
that's just freaking hot, so I made up the band story line as well! That deep
down connection that burns straight into your core.... Yea that was us!
My best friend and I met just like Ivy and Eaven did! She bullied me in the
hall and I stood up to her ass! Best friends in an instant! Thank God, because
she scared me!
Claire Lamb Describe
your books in three words?
Hilary Storm Hot,
Funny, Surprising
Claire Lamb Did
you have any muses for your characters?
Hilary Storm Yes.
Ivy is a cross between me now and my best friend in high school. Mouthy like me
and sassy like her! Eaven is pretty much based off of how I was in my life in
college. Unsure of herself, but strong deep down. Talon is based off of my
man!!! Taron's personality in book 1 is a spitting image of a good friend of
mine. He is a great guy to be around in the party scene! But a huge pain in the
ass if you're the one taking care of him! He has since grown up and settled
down, thank goodness! I am channeling Jacob Wilson as Luke in book 3. He is the
model/muse that will be attending all of my signings with me. He is HOTTTTT!!!!
So it will be complete torture to work with him! His
personality is naughty! So who knows where book 3 will go!
Claire Lamb invite
me please lmao
Hilary Storm You're
invited to all of my signings!
Claire Lamb aw
Thank you
Claire Lamb In
your books can you relate to any of the circumstances the characters go
through, are there any of your own experiences or total fiction?
Hilary Storm Like
I said the scene where Eaven meets Ivy is a real event from my life. Hmmmm.....
You want the dirty scenes. Is the real question - Have I ever had my ass used
as a set of drums? Lol! I'll NEVER tell!
Claire Lamb haha
aw no you got to spill the beans lol, uch sometimes secrets got to stay secret
Claire Lamb Do
we get to see more of Talon and Eaven in future books in the series?
Hilary Storm Yes!
Are you asking for their POV or just as characters in the books?
Claire Lamb well
I now they are getting married, so
is there another story for them?
Hilary Storm Possibly.
I'm considering it! It may be a novella or add in to another novel. But I'm
definitely tossing the idea around!
Claire Lamb That’s
fab news.
Hilary Storm That
is exclusive info btw that I've never shared with anyone!
Claire Lamb we love
exclusive so remember people you heard it here 1st lol.
Claire Lamb How
many books will be in the series or are you waiting to see where it takes you?
Hilary Storm It
looks like 5 for sure, possibly more. I have a plan in book 4 to bring in some
hot ass alpha males to spotlight!
Claire Lamb Are
the names of characters in your novel important to you?
Hilary Storm Eaven
is. The rest were just cool names.
Claire Lamb If
you had 24 hours with both twins Talon and Taron what would you do lol?
Hilary Storm Talon
hands down, for 24 hours, the whole time!
Claire Lamb haha
I know what I would do lmao, and it don't involve talking
either haha.
Hilary Storm Claire....
If you were given 24 hours with both twins Talon and Taron what would you do????
Claire Lamb oh
no you can't turn this on me pmsl, but I will answer something to suggest that
a queen bed may be involved! and it won't be very vanilla either! well you did
throw hot twins at me.
Hilary Storm They
are hot! And I don't blame you! But Talon is my guy!!!
Claire Lamb I
don't mind sharing lol !
Hilary Storm Lol
Claire Lamb okay
so some of the characters stories are dark is that things you wanted to
highlight for a reason?
Hilary Storm These
things unfortunately happen in real life. People go through tragedies that
build them into better people if it doesn't tear them into shreds first. Some
of it of course is exaggerated to hook the reader and keep them from being able
to put my book down. My goal is to make each of my readers pull an ALL nighter.
It may be from the sex scenes that turn into something awesome in their own
bed, or it may be the suspense of the deep scene that they have to know how it
ends and can't put my books down.
Claire Lamb I
totally agree and yes it's the real world where these things happen every day
and you definately reached that achievement with the books because I could not
put them down at all until the end!
Claire Lamb Does
your family support you with your writing?
Hilary Storm My
husband and kids support me 100%! My extended family doesn't all take it
seriously yet. They don't realize what I have accomplished. They will with
time, or not!
Claire Lamb If
you could pick another author to co-write with who would it be and why?
Hilary Storm Oh......
This is a good one! I honestly don't know if I could do this. I'm critical of
my own work. It would have to be someone who doesn't care what the world
thinks! Who writes strictly for pleasure of the story being told and not the
money. I'm going back to CJ again. She mind fucked me so bad, and I want to do
that to others!!!
Claire Lamb you
know your not the first author to say that the majority I have interviewed
prefer to write solo and protect their own ideas its not a bad thing at all
Claire Lamb If
you wrote a book about your life....what name would you call yourself and what
3 words would you use to describe your personality?
Hilary Storm Honest,
Loyal, Driven My name would be Amy.
Claire Lamb Ok
easy one top five book boyfriends?
Hilary Storm That's
NOT easy..... I'm a book whore!!! Talon, Caleb, Gideon, Jake, Kellan.
Claire Lamb Which
book - by another author - are you looking forward to the most?
Hilary Storm I'd
say Awakening by Ashley Suzanne. I know she left us on a huge cliffie and I've
been told that once I read Mirage that I will want to scream at her. I love and
hate cliff hangers. I love them when the next book is ready for me to grab. So
I'm looking forward to her next novel that will settle us all down!
Claire Lamb When
can we expect the next book in the Rebel walking series and do you have a title
for it yet?
Hilary Storm No
title yet. I'm looking at Jan or Feb.
Claire Lamb can't
wait!
Claire Lamb okay
to finish up it's quickfire round
Hilary Storm Ok!
Fire away!
