What books have most influenced your life most?
Honestly, that’s a hard one to answer because I’ve read sooooo many books in my lifetime. The Twilight series actually brought me back to reading (after college and marriage and babies) so I appreciate that series a lot.
What book are you reading now?
It changes daily. I read mostly male/male romance since that’s the genre I’m currently writing in.
Do you remember the first book you read?
I remember I Am a Puppy, My Name is Bruno. My mom read that to me along with thousands of Golden Books when I was little.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I write realistic romance. Readers comment on my “style” but I’m not sure exactly what my style is.
If any of your books was made into a film who would you like to play the lead?
I’d love to see my first series, Torey Hope, made into a mini-series or television series. I’m not a huge television/movie buff, so knowing actor/actress names to play parts is beyond me. But, that series would make a great one on screen.
I want all the guys on my Something About Him covers to play the parts if that series were to be made into a film.
Do you have a blog/website?
I do! www.adellisauthor.com
