Interview with Once In A Full Moon author, Ellen Schreiber

I'm very excited to have Ellen on our site today. Recently Ellen released Once In A Full Moon, which I was so excited to finally get my hands on, as it's about wolves (werewolves). I'm looking forward to sharing my review for it later this week.

Recently I was able to ask Ellen a few questions about Once In A Full Moon-

Vampire Kisses is a huge series with a large following. Did you find it hard or just as fun to write about the werewolves? I found it fun! I was only challenged in the fact that I didn’t want the werewolf to be unattractive and dog-like. But once I began writing, Brandon turned into this amazing and hot, and heroic werewolf. I really longed to write more scenes where he was turning.

I'm a huge werewolf fan. In three words, how would you describe your werewolves?

Romantic. Hot. Heroic.

What do you enjoy writing the most- action, suspense or the romance?

I love the romance. There is nothing like sitting down and writing a juicy scene! I do love writing the suspense and action, too. But sometimes I do that late at night and wind up scaring myself.

How has Celeste grown as character from when you first sat down to write Once In a Full Moon to now?

She really has become a humanitarian and makes decisions for the good of others before herself. She volunteers at a nursing home and is really an upstanding person. I love how we get to see that side of her, the relationships she gets from helping out at a retirement community and the independence it brings her. She also struggles with the conflict of her friends being from the Eastside and her one true love being from the Westside. One thing she starts to battle is that she longs for Brandon to be a werewolf--the one thing they are fighting against. And that has made her have to grow and think about what is really important to her.

Is there a paranormal/supernatural character you haven't written about that you would like to?

I think ghosts--or the people who can communicate with them. I do have some ideas when I get time. :)
