Interview with Dani Harper

I would like to give a warm welcome to DANI HARPER!Dani graciously agreed to an interview so check it out below and keep reading for contest information following the interview! 

What’s it like to be Dani Harper?
When I woke up this morning I was Dani Harper. But that could change at any moment thanks to an unruly imagination the size of a small planet which I’ve had since I was a kid. Just ask my poor teachers. They had to deal with the epic fantasies that I was forever writing about, talking about and sometimes acting out, usually in the middle of class.   

I still have a tough time staying focused.  I might suddenly morph into Dani the Pirate Queen while I vacuum. Or Dani Demon-Slayer or Space Captain Dani while I load the dishwasher. I generally have several adventures before breakfast, all in my head.

I’m living a real-life adventure too. I’m a Canadian transplanted to an island in southeast Alaska. You see, I met this salmon fisherman while I was on vacation one summer…  Maybe that’s why writing romance is a natural for me. I’ve got my own personal HEA every day. And yes, my husband is my very best source of inspiration. 

What genre do you write?
At present, I write paranormal romance. I didn’t plan it that way. I started writing a story one day and my hero turned into a werewolf. I told him not to but my characters never listen to me.

Why romance?
I’m fascinated by the different ways people come together, and how they react to each other. That makes for an infinite variety of stories to write because no two relationships are the same just as no two people are the same.  

I’ve chosen paranormal romance in particular because I’ve loved all things supernatural since I was a kid. There’s just endless fuel for the imagination!  At present, the heroes in my books are usually werewolves or vamps, so they have an extra gift or two, but it doesn’t make their lives—or their love lives—one bit easier. In fact, a gift like that usually comes with huge complications, and I love to watch my characters learn to cope with those. 

One day I’d like to venture into fantasy and science fiction as well, because those are the genres I grew up reading.
