Reader Interview - Lisa Belue

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? 
I’m a Carolina Girl living in West Texas, spending most of my life in North & South Carolinas.  But seven years ago I met a wonderful man through an on-line dating service and moved to West Texas!

When and how did you discover that you love reading fiction?
I started out reading my mom’s “historical romances,” primarily for the steamy scenes.  ;-)
  
What are some of your favorite books and who are some of your favorite authors? 
Since receiving my Kindle a couple of years ago, my favorites have expanded tremendously!  I most favorites would be action packed suspense (particularly with strong female characters), and novels based on true stories.  Authors that I turn to first are Janet Evanovich, James Patterson, both of the Kellermans, Jen Lancaster, & Rebecca Wells.

What is your favorite thing about reading fiction? 
I love escaping into the virtual worlds of books.  With a good writer, I feel as if I’ve been sucked into the story – like a movie made with words!

Do you have any “pet peeves” about authors, something they do that really annoys you? 
Though I understand why so many series writers do this, it’s a little annoying to me when the first several pages or chapters are spent recapping the previous book(s).

Do you write fiction yourself? No

What do you think about ebooks vs. paper books? 
 I love, Love, LOVE ebooks!  I always have several books accessible to me at all times. I also like the flexibility of changing the font size.

What is your favorite Mike Wells book and why?
So far, the only ones I’ve read: the Lust, Money & Murder series 1-3. I ripped through all 3 books in a hurry because of the fast paced action packed suspense – with a strong female character – all my faves!  Wild Child is the next series. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to be interviewed for my blog, Lisa!
Thank you for the opportunity to become a fan.  I probably never would have given your books a second glance without the enticement of a free book.  And I really would have missed out!
