Today we are celebrating the recent release of the YA Paranormal book Tempted by Evil (Light and Shadow Trilogy #1) by Shannon Morton and Amber Lynn Natusch. Shannon has provided us with a fun interview below. And both the authors are letting me give away one ecopy of Tempted by Evil as well. So don’t forget to enter at the end of the post.
Shannon: Good versus Evil.
Shannon: Absolutely amazing! Working with Amber was seriously a dream come true. Iβve learned so much about the writing process and a million other small things that are really invaluable.
Shannon: Best parts: Working with Amber and finishing my first novel. Most challenging parts: Finding the time to write!
Shannon: Iβm a perfectionist and Pilates instructor who loves to eat greasy drive-in food. J
Shannon: Read it and find out!! J
Shannon: Can I choose 2? Depending on which scene I was writing, I would either listen to Darkshines by Muse (I know, I know) or Everlong (Acoustic Version) by FooFighters. Writing perfection!
Shannon: I have too many faves to listβ¦but Caged Series, Fever, Midnight Sun (unfinished, I know), Harry Potter, and Scarlet Letter are a few.
Shannon: No, I used to want to be an actress.
Shannon: Both Amber and I have additional solo projects in the works so keep your eyes open for more to come! Thanks!

– Shannon Morton
I’m a reader of fantasy turned writer who enjoys great characters and fascinating plot twists. When I’m not writing, I can be found teaching Pilates, being mommy to two fabulous kiddos, or just generally being a crazy sarcastic insomniac mess!!

– Amber Natusch
If you’re dying to know more about me, allow me to put you at ease. I’m a sharp-tongued, sarcastic cancer, who loves vegetable smoothies, winter storms, and the word ‘portfolio’. I should NEVER be caffeinated, and require at least eight hours of sleep to even resemble a human being. At thirty-four, I just now feel like I can keep a straight face while saying the word “rectum” (which is actually a huge lie because I just laughed out loud while reading this to my husband). I live with my iPod firmly affixed to my body, drive too fast, and laugh/cry at inappropriate times.
I’m obsessed with urban fantasy… When I discovered that genre, I knew I had found my tribe. Now I write in that world because that’s what the voices in my head tell me to do. And they are very, very loud π

I do love the cover, but the interview feels a little short. I wish the author would have elaborated a little more, especially with the actress turned author bit. I bet there is a very interesting story behind that career change.
Jennifer Bielman
I get what you are saying. I assume it is because it’s part of a blog tour and it’s hard for authors to answer so many questions and write guest posts all at once. But I do agree. I would have liked to know a little more.

This sounds like an emotional and sad book. Is there any romance in it? I usually assume books in this genre has a romance throughout the book.
Casie
