Excerpt
In an almost magical movement, Julian swept me off the sofa,
and his muscular arms hoisted me up. Instantaneously, my legs wrapped around
him, my feet locked together to hold me. The entire walk to the counter, his
lips and his tongue were like fire on mine. The moment my bottom hit the cold
stone, a wicked grin flashed on his face. “Cher, how would you like to christen
the counter?”
“I would love nothing more,” I breathed out, and my breasts
heaved.
With his arms still around me, he pulled me to the edge of
the counter, then bent down and slipped off my shoes. The softness of his lips
started at one of my ankles and continued up my leg. He grazed a finger lightly
on the bottom of my foot as his lips whispered back down and moved to the other
leg. When finished with that leg, he moved up to my thigh and pushed my skirt
up to reveal the crisscrossed skin. Julian’s hair fell down around my legs, and
his soft kisses on my scars sent an explosion through my body. My hand brushed
through his long, wavy, dark hair. “Oh damn, Julian, that feels great,” I
moaned out.

Where do the ideas for your books come from?
It’s weird I have
gotten ideas while driving. I have even had a dream one time that I jotted down
for a story idea. A lot of them come to
me while I am about to go to sleep. It’s
funny I look at as my ideas coming from the characters themselves.
Have you ever co-written book/books? If so was it difficult?
If not would you ever consider co-writing with another author?
No I haven’t, and
I have been asked by a friend. We just
have to start writing.
Where do you get your character names from?
Google. Hahahaha. No really I googled Louisiana last
names. I wanted to make sure I had names
that originated from here. Rosaleigh is actually named after my favorite flower
and my grandmother started a tradition by naming one of her daughters with the
middle name Leigh which trickled down to my cousin and second cousin. I was
searching African names and came across the name Jahane and fell in love with
it. I’ve also gotten name ideas from my
cover artist Anya Kelleye. Some of the
others just came to me.
What type of research goes into your writing?
Even though I live
in Louisiana, I still do research even on the streets, locations, culture, and
whatnot. Since I work at a library I have a vast array of research at my
fingertips. I’ve read a ton on Marie Laveau and I do know a voodoo practitioner
who helped me quite a bit for this first book. But even if you think you know
things, always research.
Are your family and friends supportive of your writing?
Yes they are. In fact my dad kept pushing me to write.
Do you remember when your interest in writing came about?
Actually I was
role playing and after my dad said I needed to write, I thought you know this
is fun.
Other than writing what are your interest?
I love watching old
movies, hanging with friends, visiting the city and of course reading.
Did you learn anything from writing your books, if so what
was it?
I learned so
much. First never ever hurry. Take your
time and put your best work out there.
And it takes a village to write a book.
But foremost always remember this is your baby and only you will truly
love it 100% mistakes and all.
What are your current WIP? Can you share with us?
Of course I
actually have quite a few I’m working on.
The first in a side story told in Athena’s POV who is the magical dog in
Voodoo Vows is written. I am currently
working on her second story along with the second book in Voodoo Vows
series. Hmmm well I’ll say this, the
next story Rosie will come more into her powers all on her own. As for Julian
well let’s just say a plot twist is in his future.

Quote: If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...

As a young girl, Diana Marie Dubois was an avid reader and
was often found in the local public library. Now you find her working in her
local library. Hailing from the culture filled state of Louisiana, just outside
of New Orleans; she lives with her three Great Danes and four spunky
mutts. Her biggest inspiration has
always been the infamous Anne Rice and her tales of Vampires. It was those very
stories that inspired Diana to take hold of her dreams and begin writing. She
is now working on her first series, Voodoo Vows.
