Author’s Studio with London Cole

I’ve had a great opportunity to meet a lot of great authors on Twitter and London is one of them. We’ve become good friends who love to disagree. Sometimes I feel like he’s an annoying younger brother. With that said I thought you could all get to know the inner workings of London Cole in the Author’s Studio.

HERE’S A LITTLE ABOUT LONDON

London Cole is a YA Paranormal author living in East Texas, US. When he’s not writing or outlining he can be found doing laps in his pool, playing a rock concert, or any of a variety of outdoor extreme sports. London’s debut WHISPER WALKER is a Dystopian Paranormal based on the island he was raised on, Whidbey Island. Only, it’s the island eighty years after the Third World War, and everything is a lot different…and a lot meaner.

And Now Time For The

author's studio

1.What is your favorite word?

Facetious or Ominous. Can’t decide between the two. “Facetious” because I tend to be quite facetious and love to throw the word at other people, who often don’t know what it means. “Ominous” because it tastes good. Yes, words can taste good.

2. What is your least favorite word?

Irregardless. MS Word doesn’t even think it’s a word! But sadly, it is a word recognized by Miriam-Webster. It sounds awful, it tastes worse, and technically its own roots are redundant and superfluous.

3. What turns you on?

 Uh… Hmm, sarcasm and witty banter. Being able to have a verbal sparring match with someone without them taking anything personally. Guitars. I collect guitars as my wallet allows (yes I also play them). On a physical note, huge fan of jean shorts, white spaghetti strap tank tops and low top Chucky T’s.

4. What turns you off?

 Eighties and Nineties clothing styles. Pop music.

5. What sound do you love?

 This is another challenging question. The sound of bacon frying or coffee splashing into a cup.

6. What sound do you hate?

 There are so many of them––most anything dragging across a chalk board or sudden jarring noises.

7. What is your favorite curse word?

 Dumbass. It may not exactly be a curse word, but it’s so much fun to say. Just think about the origins of the word! Who was so riled at someone that their vocabulary was limited to lumping together two words that weren’t supposed to go together. “Dumb” and “Ass.” It pretty funny to imagine.

8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?

 Full-Time musician. I’ve gotten pretty close to it three different times in my life, but it’s always fallen through at the last second. Yes, a girl was the reason the first time.

9. What profession would you not like to do?

 Anything on Dirty Jobs, really. Hell, I’ve done some of them anyway and have no desire to do any more.

10. Tells us something no one knows about you?

Dear God. Everyone always asks this and I’m running out of things to say. Hehe. Hmm, I’m a bit of a lumberjack. I drop (dead) trees all summer and part of the fall for everything from firewood to milling into lumber for furniture and building.

Excerpt:

My boyfriend is so freakin’ hot.

I press my nose against the glass, peering out as he stops to take a break from cutting the grass around the garden center. It’s sweltering outside and he’s worked up quite a sweat pushing the lawn mower up and down the property. As a result of his labor, his white t-shirt is clinging to his chest in all the right places. I sigh happily, taking him in.

He has no clue that I’m watching as he picks up a water bottle and pours it over his head, forming a trail that trickles down the length of his body. I clutch the windowsill as I feel that all too familiar twinge between my legs. Being pregnant, my hormones are on fire and it doesn’t take much to get me going. So it’s no wonder a moan escapes my lips when he doesn’t stop there. Instead, he casually begins to strip in front of me.

My cheeks burn as he lifts his arms over his head, removing his shirt, elongating every inch of his defined abs. My eyes follow his v-shaped pelvic muscle as it dips suggestively below his belt buckle. My breathing becomes heavy as he stretches, causing his jeans to ride even lower on his hips. My pulse skyrockets as he proceeds to wring the water out of his shirt, flexing his glistening biceps against the rays of the setting sun.

I squirm against the window, forcing my knees together. My movement catches his attention and he glances up, meeting my gaze. A sexy grin slowly spreads across his face when he realizes the effect he’s having on me. My mouth is open. I’m literally panting for him. He shakes his head and chuckles softly. My heart clenches at how adorable he looks.

He’s not the kind of guy who flaunts his body, but for me it seems like he enjoys being on display. He runs his hands through his damp hair, tousling it before grabbing another bottle of water. He winks at me, tilting back his head and taking a long swig. He closes his eyes, his lips wrapped around the bottle, teasing me. He smiles when he’s done, beckoning me with his finger.

I don’t hesitate for a moment. I gladly leave the confines of his air-conditioned office and rush outside. He’s waiting, his eyes smoldering. He stands with his hands on his hips, watching as I approach. It’s unseasonably mild for October, and I step out of my clogs as I draw nearer to him. His gaze never leaves my face. It only intensifies, causing me to blush even more.

I get close enough to feel the warmth of his breath on my cheek, but I don’t speak. Instead, I run my hands across the wide breadth of his shoulders and down his heaving chest. My touch must be driving him wild because I can feel his heart thudding beneath my fingertips. His skin is so smooth and firm. He’s a man’s man who’d never dream of waxing his upper body, and a trail of soft, fine hair guides me to his belly button and beyond.

“How can I expect to get anything done around here with you touching me like that?” Eric asks, his voice all husky as I find the zipper of his jeans.

“Well, you shouldn’t be tempting me by getting naked in front of the window,” I whisper seductively as he grabs my wrist, preventing me from lowering his zipper and undressing him any further.

With my free hand, I start to remove my dress when he growls, “I don’t want anyone seeing what’s mine.” He scans the horizon for any approaching vehicles, but there are none to be found. “No one’s ever going to hear what you sound like when you come. Only me.”

Trust me you really want to get your hands on this book. Here are what some reviewers are saying:

“I can already say this is the hottest book I’ve ever read! EVER!”
– Ashelyn Drake, New Adult author
“*sigh* What I wouldn’t give to have a man like Eric. He’s rugged, and manly, and yet he’s totally vulnerable and caring and protective.”
– Ashley Bodette, Book Junkie
“I want my books to be fun, engaging, and easy to read. Sullivan’s books always fit the bill.”
– Kelli, I’d Rather Be Reading
“WOO! Starts off just right.”
– Mickey Reed, editor
“ENDING IS.. WOW.”
– @lookingfornatty
“I’m reading & LOVING IT!”
– Ambur Hostyn, Burning Impossibly Bright

Blurb

“You start out with the best of intentions, but inevitably you hurt each other. I love you, but that didn’t stop me from hurting you last night, or this morning. Love sucks. It’s just the way it is.”

Falling in love is easy. But what happens when that love has been tossed aside and trampled on by the person who swore to cherish it? Can you ever trust again, or will the bitter taste of betrayal keep you from allowing anyone else in?

Carter and Elizabeth each have their own issues with love and trust. Both have had their hearts broken and carry the scars of the past into their relationship with each other. Is love ever enough? Can it overcome?

Carter faces his past with Elizabeth by his side, but it continues to haunt him at every turn. Can he let go and believe in her enough to leave his past behind him or will he push too hard and send her running into another man’s arms?

About the Author:

Danielle Sibarium

Danielle Sibarium grew up as an only child of divorced parents in Brooklyn, New York. Her imagination was developed at an early age. Surrounded by stuffed animals and imaginary friends, she transported herself into a fantasy world full of magic and wonder. Books were the gateway between her play world and reality. On any given summer afternoon she became Snow White sweeping and cooking for the dwarfs, or Cinderella waiting for the prince.

Danielle always loved dialogue and in elementary school began writing plays and short stories. This is when she began to understand she could not only bring her fantastical world to life for herself, but she could enchant others as well. And so she wrote. She wrote and wrote and wrote.

Sadly the first piece she ever sent out for publication of any sort was a letter to the editor of The Home News Tribune. It was a piece of thanking the first responders for their bravery and selflessness on Sept. 11th. It was chosen as letter of the week. In 2007 Danielle collaborated with Charlotte Doreen Small to write songs for her CD More. Danielle wrote the lyrics for Take My Hand, and Goodbye, while Charlotte contributed the melody. In October 2011 Danielle’s debut novel For Always was released. She has since released The Heart Waves Trilogy, Heart Waves, Breaking Waves, and Waves of Love.  Danielle graduated from Farleigh Dickinson University with honors, and currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and three children.
