AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT, INTERVIEW & GIVEAWAY ~ Seth King

Romance & Erotica Author Fraternity: 
SETH KING


Hopeless Romantic 
Blurb

After losing his engagement to the woman he thought would be the great love of his life, twenty-three-year-old aspiring writer Graham Herrera is in pieces. After four months, though, it becomes clear just how he can get his life back on track and reassemble his soul: write a book about his lost love and shed her bad blood forever. There’s just one problem: that would make him a “male romance author,” and according to society, men know nothing about romance, right? 


Humorous and heartwarming, Seth King’s Hopeless Romantic is an inside look at what happens when you toss away the world’s judgments and decide to write your own future, one romance novel at a time.

Honesty
Blurb 

“Maybe we weren’t meant to collide. Maybe we were meant to explode.” 

As a closeted teenager in the Deep South with a holy-roller father and the scars to prove it, bookworm Cole Furman has resigned himself to experiencing life and love only within the pages of his favorite novels. But after Nick Flores seems to walk off a page and starts to rewrite his story, Cole finds his dreams spinning into a dazzling – and complicated – reality. 

If you have ever found yourself on the wild breathless thriller ride that is first love, Honesty will rip you back again in screaming color.

The Summer Remains
Blurb

Twenty-four-year-old Summer Johnson knows two things. The first is that due to a quickly worsening medical condition, she faces a risky surgery in three months’ time that may or may not end in her death. The second is that she would like to fall in love before then. 

As spring sinks into her namesake season on the Florida coastline, Summer plays the odds and downloads a new dating app - and after one intriguing message from a beautiful surfer named Cooper Nichols, it becomes clear that the story of what may be her last few months under the sun is about to be completely revised. All she has to do now is write something worth reading. 

Tender, honest, devastating and triumphant, The Summer Remains explores a very human battle being waged in a very digital age: the search for a love that will outlast this temporary borrowing of bones. In an era when many feel compelled to share and re-share anything about everything, prepare to feel a love so special, you will want to hug it close and make it yours forever.

Invincible Summer
Blurb

We all remember our first love, that one affair that took custody of your heart and never really let it go. Readers around the world were touched by The Summer Remains, a heartbreaking and inspiring novel about one of these romances – but Cooper Nichols, the enigmatic young man at the center of the novel, was largely silent on the matter. Until now. 

“I just can’t believe it’s over between you guys,” my best friend said as we walked down the pier. “You two were supposed to last forever.” 

I stared out at the blue sea. “Oh, trust me, it’s not over. I am going to see that girl’s face in every crowd I look into, forever. And maybe a few forevers after that…” 

And so begins the tale of young writer Cooper Nichols. Left in ruins after a tragic summer romance, Cooper is afraid the sun may have set on him for good – until his mother discovers a copy of Cooper’s journal he kept of that summer. As he reluctantly slips back into his own past in the pages of his notebook, Cooper starts to rethink everything he thought he knew about life, death, and all the love that can bloom in between – and what follows is a thrilling and breathtaking journey back to joy that will sink into you and stay there for the long haul.

Autumn Rising
Blurb

Autumn Mahal and Hank Basara know they should stay away from each other. Both recovering from the loss of a mutual friend, and each bearing scars of their own, they know their love would look like a worn cliché, a trite romance novel for teens, some crappy made-for-TV movie languishing on your great aunt’s DVR. But as summer gives way to September and flirtation leads to something deeper, they learn there are some types of love you cannot run from, no matter how hard you try to flee. 

Hilarious, heartbreaking and hopeful, Autumn Rising is a novella about the happiness we ruin for ourselves, the truths we can’t hide with a filter, and that elusive and victorious moment when we let love rush in and carry us to the sky. In a world of constant TMI, prepare to feel a story worth sharing – a story that will stay with you long after the summer fades to autumn.

The Goode Fight
Blurb

I’m bad – but I don’t want to be bad anymore. 

In fact, leaving my Nashville life behind and swearing off love forever was the only thing keeping me from falling back into my old ways and fucking up again, and I was doing pretty well at pretending to be good – until I met Taylor Haney, that is. 

Now I can think of nothing but Taylor. Her shy smile…the way she fidgets with her hands when she gets nervous…the sounds she makes when I tie her to my bedposts and go to town on her…the way I get a glimpse of eternity when I look into her hazel eyes… 

And that little lovey feeling is the worst thing of all, because it means I’m breaking all my old rules now – and that means nobody is safe. Especially Taylor. 

Because the last girl I fell in love with is currently lying in Brentwood Cemetery.

Mrs. Robinson
Blurb


How far would you go to save someone you love? And how far would you go to get revenge on a loved one who betrayed you? 

Ben Bradley is a twenty-year-old student and aspiring MMA fighter with a dead-end day job and a desperate need for cash to help his disabled sister out of a tight spot. Grace Robinson is a lonely forty-something D.C. housewife who spends her time reading about red rooms of pain while her husband busies himself with the office interns. And with the arrival of a controversial new app called Hookd that matches attractive young men with powerful women willing to pay for their companionship, Ben and Grace soon find incredibly appealing – and risky – solutions to their problems. 

With Hookd, Ben can easily make the money to save his beloved sister, while Grace can get back at her cheating husband and spice up her quiet nights with the kind of hot, anonymous sex she only reads about in books. All they have to do now is get over their moral hang-ups and press download… 

And then hope Grace’s vindictive husband, Congressman Richard Robinson, stays in the dark once Mrs. Robinson’s affair explodes into something more passionate than she could have ever imagined.

Blue

As Don’s body starts to shut down he sets out on a quest to find Elizabeth before time runs out and finally answer the question that has haunted him all his life: is first love meant to rage uncontrollably and then burn out, or do those fires never really die?

About the Author 

Let me tell you a little about myself…. I am a true southern belle. I like my sweet tea and I like blessing hearts. I was born and raised in a one stop light town in North Alabama. As a child I was a bit of a tomboy. I loved riding bikes and playing basketball and volley ball. I have 2 younger sisters and although I never had a brother my older cousin was the closest thing to that than anyone.
As a teen I loved to read. My favorite author was Lurlene McDaniel, I loved and still love all of her books. I think I have made it through all of them by now. Lol. Although I have added several authors to my favorites list, I still enjoy her writing style. But she isn’t the reason I became an author. That is all my cousin LeAmbra’s fault. Y’all may know her better as Author Salice Rodgers. I had a dream one night about an unplanned and secret filled relationship between a broken women and even more broken man. I asked Amber to write a book about it. She refused and said she wouldn’t write my story that I should. So that’s how Resurrected Secrets was born and Author N. Nieto.
These days I spend my time chasing kids and cleaning house. I somehow find time to blog, read and write in the middle of all of that. I always say as long as one person likes my stories than it’s worth it in the end for me

Meadow I was four years old when I learnt what evilness the world could bring. I fought through life with my scarred soul, wrangled through the dark empty nights where I’d pray I didn’t wake up the next morning. I would shut my eyes and mentally take myself to my happy place. Red roses The sound of waves crashing on the sand under my feet. The final time the cold blade pushed up against my thigh, and I waited for my blood to trickle over the other One hundred and thirty-six scars that covered my skin— never came. Who was this man who just saved me? He had no idea how close I came to ending myself that day. I was ready to blow my brains all over the bedroom walls and I had a nine sitting under my pillow to prove it. Beast Some people have families, I had engineered human killing machines surrounding me my whole life. I’d been a part of this unit since I was a baby, raised in a community that was shut off from the real world. A community where we were nothing but empty vessels, until Hella (my best friend) and I escaped. Hella took us to a girl who was in foster care with him before he was summoned into The Army. After finding out yet another complication in my life, I needed space. I booked in to a run down apartment, ready to clear my head. Only my head didn’t clear, because I was haunted every night from the screams that would vibrate through my walls. This is not a story of a perfect man coming in to save the day. This is a story of what happens when fate interferes and two completely broken souls collide. *Potential triggers lie within this book. ** This book is gritty and contains dark content.

Alpha Bad Boys Series 

Synopsis

***All four of the Alpha Bad Boy novellas in one box set plus free full-length bonus novel The Matriarch included.*** 

Bad Boy Revelation 

Daddy told me not to even look at the man in the corner. He's troubled he said. I wanted to do more than look at him. 

I grew up in the church. I was raised better. And I was broken. Oh, was I ever broken. I had a sexual appetite that couldn't be filled. A thirst in me that only sin could quench. I needed him, the man in the corner, to claim me, dominate me, own me. 

I'd do whatever it took. Goad him if necessary. I needed that man like I needed air or water. I needed the bad boy. 

Bad Boy Prospect 

Fighting, f***ing, and winning. It's what I do and nobody will stand in my way. It's how I live my life on the field and in the bedroom. I make hitters fear me. If they're scared, it gives me an advantage, and I capitalize on it. People say I have an attitude problem, that I'm a bad boy. It's exactly what I want them to think. 

Until I meet Elizabeth, the psychiatrist Coach makes me see. She specializes in pro athletes. There's something about her. Maybe she'll be the one who finally cuts through my layers and sees the real me. Who knows? 

Bad Boy Brawler 

Devyn O'Dare is the Ultra MMA world heavyweight champion. He destroys opponents. He doesn't like to be in the public eye. One day he makes a bad decision that will alter his life forever. 

In the hospital he meets Carly, single mom, nurse, struggling day to day. Devyn feels he can right some wrongs from his troubled past. He can change Carly's life and end her struggles, prevent her son from the same type of childhood he experienced. But Carly must decide if she wants to trust Devyn and put her pride aside, or soldier through life alone with her son. 

Bad Boy Con Man 

Grayson is a con man. If he sees an opportunity he capitalizes. When the score that can set him up for life comes along it's too much for him to resist. 

Then he meets Amelia. Intelligent, funny, gorgeous, and a lover of comic books. She's everything he's ever wanted. But, at the end of the day he has to make a choice — hurt the woman he's crazy about, or take the money and leave his old life behind.

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
I don't know that there was a defining moment. It just sort of happened. I started writing some tax blog entries to make tax more exciting (i know right?) and people liked them, and then I started a blog with my sister where I wrote funny short stories about some characters. It just sort of morphed from there and now here we are. :)

What has been the toughest criticism given to you as an author? What has been the best compliment?
Toughest criticism, I don't know that I have a particular event. It was difficult because there is so much to writing that you don't think about or pick up on during reading. But there are tricks and things you do to keep a reader locked in the story. Having Celia Aaron take a figurative red pen to one of my manuscripts was the toughest criticism probably, and that which I'm most thankful for because it taught me so much.

The best compliment was when Rachel Saucy Owl, who is now my PA, said that The Matriarch was probably the best book she's ever read. I nearly died when I read that, and was incredibly flattered.

Amongst all the competition in the romance genre, why do you think your books are so popular?
Oh, I don't know. I think it's maybe a combination of things, though I don't know that I'm all that popular. I am pretty boisterous on social media and let people into my little world. I know what my brand is and I stay true to it. But I like to think the biggest contributor is that I write good books. I mean, I think that's what most popular authors would like to think and hope. I know I hope that's what it is. But it's tough to get your face and voice above the rest, because the market is so saturated. So I think my social media following helps with that tremendously.

Give us an interesting fun fact about any of your books.
Well, let's see, I played college baseball so that definitely bleeds over into my writing I think. It gives an accurate portrayal of the game and what it actually feels like in a locker room full of guys.

Tell us a little about your background!
I played sports through high school to the collegiate level. I have a bachelor's degree in accounting and worked as a tax accountant for ten years. Married for almost nine years and I have a three year old son.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told?
Probably when I pretended to be a female for the first 9 months of my writing career, in the romance genre anyway.

Have you ever been in trouble with the police? If YES, for what?
Yes. Hah! I really wish people didn't know this but I have been to jail, more than once all stemming from the same thing. I ran with the wrong crowd and got mixed up in the wrong things when I was younger. I probably shouldn't go into much more detail than that. It was a darker time in my life before I met my wife.

What is your biggest fear?
Failure most definitely. I have an overwhelming fear every time I hit publish that there is a glaring mistake or I've pushed the envelope too far and it's going to end my career. I fear going back to a cubicle and crunching numbers all day long, and won't be able to see my son as much as I get to. I'm also deathly afraid of heights, but strangely love to fly and ride roller coasters.

If you were a super hero, what would your name be? What costume would you wear?
I'd seriously be like Hancock I think, and anti-hero. But we could call it hand cocks, because my fingers would be dicks and I could dickslap people with an actual slap, and give criminals the mushroom stamp of approval after their evil deeds had been thwarted. I'd drink Fat Tire and write Olivia Munn loveletters that she'd never read, and probably take out a restraining order against me. I don't know about the costume, what goes good with a hand with penis fingers?

What secret talents do you have?
Let's see, I can balance a lot of things on my head at once. My son likes to keep handing me things to stack until it all falls on me. Then he points and laughs before making a huge mess of toys while I pick up everything that just fell all over me. I'm an avid shoe shopper. I like to by the wifey shoes, so I know all the good brands. <wink>

If you could have any accent from anywhere in the world, what would you choose?
Most definitely Australian or British. If I was from there I'd just move to the U.S. because their voices just make knees wobble over here.

Do you ever daydream about people you see at the park? Airport? Train station? Mall? And build romance scenes around them while you daydream?
Umm, lol, not really. Most of my characters are formed from interesting people I've met or talked to. And then I just overdo their personality because characters have to be interesting and you have a finite amount of time to make an impact on a reader. So they have to be over the top and then slowly develop over the course of the story.

What is your favorite body part?
I don't know, my wife says I have good calves. I guess that can be a thing after the How I Met Your Mother episode where Lily is all swooning over Marshall's calves. Maybe it's for real.

What would you name the autobiography of your life?
Welcome to Crazytown

Have you ever had something happen to you that you thought was bad but it turned out to be for the best?
Absolutely, when my son got sick it was the worst time of my life. For my wife too. Out of that I ended up out of work and all kinds of time to write, and I was able to make a career out of it. I'm always looking for a way to turn a negative situation into a positive, but that was the biggest for me and it was really hard to get through.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?
I would love to be Joey from Friends. The dude eats and never gains weight, like all he wants. He's funny and gets to be whatever he wants on his soap operas.

Which celebrity do you get mistaken for?
I've probably been told Joaquin Phoenix (sp?) the most.

What chore do you absolutely hate doing?
Probably vacuuming, it's just so effing redundant.

What is the strangest dream you've ever had?
I never really remember my dreams much, to be honest. It sucks, because I bet they're pretty cool. So I'm jealous of people that can remember theirs.

If you had to choose, which one would it be: intelligent but not that good looking, or good looking but not that intelligent?
Intelligent but not that good looking.

What is the best book you have read so far?
1984 by George Orwell

What do you do if you can’t sleep at night? Do you count sheep? Toss and Turn? Try to get up and do something productive?
I usually get up and do something not productive, lol. Watch tv or a movie. But I'm a night owl and most of the time I'm writing at night when nobody is around and I'm alone with my characters in their world.

What’s one thing you’d rather pay someone to do than do yourself? Why?
CLEAN MY HOUSE! And do my taxes, lol. Did that enough in the past. They can pay them too if they want. Refunds are all mine though.

When do you find yourself singing?
Never. I can't sing for shit. I try to bob my head with the music sometimes and I'm sure I look ridic.
