TGBC: Will there be further books in this series, and if so, how many books do you hope to write?ĮS: There will indeed! I’m working on the 3rd one right now, and I think that will feel like a good stopping place in terms of the Graves Glen books. I always say I truly get to Hannah Montana It- Best of Both Worlds!- by getting to do a Murder Book and a Kissing Book every year!

I think writing thrillers helps me with the slightly twisty plotting of the romances (there’s almost always a mystery to solve in the romances, plus a fair amount of action scenes), and I think being a romance novelist makes my thrillers sexier and a little more emotional. TGBC: You also write thrillers, as Rachel Hawkins has that influenced The Ex Hex series – perhaps with the paranormal angle?ĮS: I love this question! I definitely feel like both sides of my writing career influence each other. TGBC: Will readers see the return of characters from the book’s predecessor, The Ex Hex?ĮS: Oh, yes! Vivi, Rhys, Elaine, Bowen, Simon, and MOST importantly Sir Purrcival are all accounted for! It was so fun to get to go back to those characters and see them through new eyes. However, in this case, there’s a whole half of a first draft abandoned on my laptop because when I first started the book, I gave Gwyn the wrong love interest! Which is apparently a thing that sometimes happens in writing romance! I liked this other character very much (and he’s getting his own story soon!), but he and Gwyn just did not work out on the page. TGBC: What did you edit out of this book?ĮS: I am definitely one of those writers who always adds in edits, so very rarely does anything end up on the cutting room floor.

When the two have to team up to defeat the latest evil in Graves Glen, sparks fly in every sense. The Gloss Book Club: What can you tell our members about your novel The Kiss Curse?Įrin Sterling: The Kiss Curse is the follow up to The Ex Hex, so we’re back in Graves Glen, Georgia just in time for Halloween! Gwyn Jones is looking forward to the town’s busiest season and the business it brings to her magical shop, Something Wicked, when she suddenly has to deal with a new coven in town, the mysterious loss of her powers, and- worst of all in her mind- Wells Penhallow showing up to open his own store directly in competition with hers.
