Welcome, so great to have you here with
us. Can you tell us a little about
yourself?
Thanks
for having me – it’s a pleasure to be here at A Passion for Romance! I’m
Madison Martin and I’ve been writing mostly fun, light contemporaries with a
few other more serious stories in there for about 10 years. I live and work in
the Washington, DC area.
Do real life events find their way into your
stories?
Yes,
sometimes a real event will spark something in my imagination and make its way
into a story. Although I usually like to embellish those events a lot J
Do you ever mimic family members or people you
know when you choose characters?
Not
really! I have so many imaginary people floating around in my brain that I
don’t think I’ve ever chosen a character based on anyone I know.
Do you find yourself going back to the same
inspiration for each story or is it always something different?
My
inspiration when I first begin a story is usually a character that intrigues me
and that I’d like to explore and give a happy ending to, and I take it from
there. I never know when or where that inspiration will come from, but it’s
always welcome!
When do you write? Early morning? During the day sometime or all
day? After the kids go to bed?
I’m
without question a morning person. I’m the freshest and most inspired first
thing, so I write before work each day. Then if the day escapes me and I don’t
get any more writing time in, at least I’ve done something fulfilling for
myself, even on days when I’m not very productive. I’m mostly brain dead at
night.
How do you feel about marketing your book?
It
can be a challenge, but it’s also fun and a great opportunity to meet and interact
with new people!
What social sites do you feel work best for
marketing?
I
love Twitter because it’s always fresh and updated. I love learning about
people from random Tweets J
Do you like to pitch stories to your publisher
or do you wait until you have written the story and have a final manuscript to
turn in?
I
usually wait until I have the final manuscript completed. Although the idea of
pitching the idea first and working out potential problems in the story is
particularly appealing!
Is there any other genre that you would love to
try writing? If so, what is it?
I’d
love to try writing a fantasy story with maybe some light paranormal elements…something
that takes place in a totally fantastical world that I could lose myself in. I
like being able to completely escape from reality!
Do you always/ever see yourself as the
heroine/hero when you write a story?
I
think I end up writing a little bit of myself into each character I write, but
generally, I like to imagine someone much, much more fabulous than I am as my
heroine!
Just for fun, I have a few personal
questions,
Favorite 5
1) Favorite
Male Actor - Chris Hemsworth.
2) Favorite
vehicle – Chevy Camaro.
3) Favorite
way to relax – going for a long walk while listening to my favorite music on my
mp3 player.
4) Favorite
ice cream – Ben and Jerry’s Chubby Hubby.
5) Favorite
outfit – Comfy
jeans and a T-shirt.
And for a bonus: If you could pick any place in the world to
live, besides where you are now, where would it be? (Of course, without the hindrance of jobs or
money needed) San Diego. It’s my favorite city in
the world. Preferably I’d live right on the beach!

Toying With Temptation
Blurb:
Driven, business savvy Hailey Burton, Vice President of Tryton
Financial Institute, has been put in charge of running what could be her first
ever failure: the company’s Christmas Eve toy drive. Toys and Christmas are
beyond Hailey’s expertise, but when she's offered the chance for the promotion
she's been waiting for if she succeeds, her competitive spirit kicks into high
gear. When every company in Los Angeles turns her down, desperation leads her
to Quinn Matheson. Ten years ago, Hailey chose a prosperous career over Quinn,
but as she falls for him all over again, she can’t deny that they make a good
team in business…and more. This second time around, is she finally ready to
make the leap and become his partner in love?
