Welcome Author Kate Willoughby

I'm pleased to welcome fellow Ellora's Cave author 
Kate Willoughby. Please tell us a little about your
new story.

I’d be happy to. Just Winging It is the fourth and final
bookin the Be-Wished series.  Davina, this crazy wish 
fairy, played a pivotal part in the first three books and 
in this story she finally finds her own True Love…

Ex-wish fairy Davina Traherne has until midnight to 
choose a groom at the birthday ball or her draconian grandmother Agatha will pick one for her. Panicking
at the prospect of marrying a fussy, well-bred bore with no sense of adventure, she flees.

Laszlo can’t believe it when Davina asks him to help her
go off-grid. He’s always had the hots for her but kept his feelings to himself. Eventually, close proximity and 
Davina’s playful teasing get to be too much, especially when he finds out his lust is reciprocated. But when Agatha zeroes in on their whereabouts, his resolve to keep his emotional distance dissolves and he discovers he’ll do anything to protect Davina.

Even marry her.

Name one thing readers would be surprised to know about you.


My day job is at Starbucks. I’ve been making mochas and such for going on six years now.
I have a great time and adore the fantastic benefits, even as a part-timer—full medical, 
dental, and vision for my whole family. If you know what medical insurance costs on your
own, you know how fantastic this is. It doesn’t hurt that I love coffee, too, because I get a
free pound a week.

When you’re not writing, which authors are on your “go to” list?

Oh, there are so many. I adore fantasy writer, Patrick Rothfuss, but he only produces one
book every 3-4 years. Ariana Franklin is a fave. She writes an historical mystery series 
about a medieval forensic pathologist. I’m currently hooked on the Amish thriller writer,
Linda Castillo. In romance, I love Rachel Gibson and Elizabeth Hoyt. I run hot and cold
on Nora and Julia Quinn.

If a movie was made based on your story, who would you cast as the hero and heroine?

Hmm. I really can’t see them ever making a movie from Just Winging It, but in a perfect
world I’d cast Kristin Chenowith as Davina. The woman owns the part of Glenda and 
good witch is a little like a wish fairy… And for Laszlo? Call me crazy, but Vin Diesel
maybe. He’s got the sexy bald thing totally going. Or Robert Downey, Jr., but I’d have 
to see him bald first. Not sure he can pull that off.

Where can readers find you on the web?

Readers can find me at either of my blogs. My steamy erotic romance blog/website or 
my Writing for Woman’s World blog. The latter is a place where writers who want to 
sell to Woman’s World magazine can find support and advice.

If you could wake up stranded on a desert island with one celebrity hunk (actor, athlete, 
musician, etc.), who would it be? Why?

Hm. The pragmatist in me wants to choose a man who possesses survival skills. A hot 
bod is all well and good, but in order to enjoy that bod, I have to be, you know, alive. 
LOL. So, I might choose that Bear Grylls guy who has that show about how he survives
off the wilderness. On the other hand, the spirit of this question seems to be more about
fantasy, so if we’re tossing realism out the window, I would not kick Gary Sinise, 
Gerard Butler, or Michael Chiarello (hey, the man’s handsome, he speaks Italian, and 
he can freakin’ cook!) off the island.

One last thing. If your visitors are interested in winning the complete set of Be-Wished
books, they can leave a comment. On December 16, I’ll choose one lucky winner from 
all the names I’ve been collecting since the book came out on Black Friday.

Thanks for stopping by, Kate. Good luck to all the commenters!
