I’d like to welcome Clarissa Yip to the blog today!  She is touring the blogs to promote her new book, Tempting a Prince.  The cover for this book certainly looks yummy! I’ve asked Clarissa a few questions, I hope you enjoy learning about this author as I did!

 

Barb –  Tell us a bit about you and your writing

Clarissa – Well, I write contemporary romance. I’m a big fan of second chance romances, and seeing old lovers reunite. When I’m not writing, I’m usually cupcake hunting, playing video games, or scrapbooking. I love hanging out with my muse. We’re both Castle and Once Upon a Time fans currently. 

Barb –  How would you describe your new release in 20 words or less without using the blurb?

Clarissa – Looking for Prince Charming? That’s what Sarah did, until she’s realized he’s not that charming…

Barb – Where would you live if you could live anywhere in the world?

Clarissa – If I could live anywhere in the world, I think I would move to Japan. But it could change tomorrow depending on how I’m feeling. I do miss Hawaii, though. 

Barb – Who are your cheerleaders?  Who encourages you to continue writing?

Clarissa – My main cheerleaders are my best friend, who has been supporting me since I’ve decided to write professionally, and my wonderful crit partners from Passionate Critters. Don’t know what I would do without the ladies!

Barb –  What is it you love most about writing? What’s the hardest part of writing for you?

Clarissa – I love being creative, love arguing with my evil muse, and watching a story unfold as words appear on screen. I think the hardest part is sticking to the outline. I think I have the story down pat, then my muse has to come in and ruin everything. pfft. 

Barb –  Do you see yourself in any of your characters?

Clarissa – LOL. I think all of them. My heroines are the people i WANT to be at times. I’m envious of their life, and wish I had their courage and spunk. 

Barb –  What is the one book that you think everyone should read?

Clarissa – Wow. Tough question. There are so many great books out there. I’m going to have to say Judith McNaught’s Whitney, My Love. Why? Well, it was one of the first romances I’ve read and reread a million times. It’s long, but it’s wonderful. 

Barb –  Where can your fans find you ?

Clarissa – I’m all over the place! 


Barb – Where is your work available?

Clarissa – I am currently published with Entangled Publishing, Decadent Publishing, Lyrical Publishing, and Cobblestone Press. All my works are available on Amazon, BN, and ARe.

Barb –  Anything else you would like to add?

Clarissa – My next release is in February from Entangled Publishing, part of their Valentine’s Anthology and their new Ever After line, called True Connections. Check it out!
