    Erin McCarthy's Interests
General

"There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted."

I love to travel! In the past year I've been to New York City, Atlanta, New Orleans, Chicago, the Dominican Republic, and the Smoky Mountains. This year I have plans to go to New Orleans, Houston, Ft. Lauderdale FL, Hawaii, and Charleston, SC.

And anywhere that I travel you can guarantee that I'll have a Diet Coke in my hand... I'm a serious DC addict.

CommentYou.com is your One Stop Shop

MusicI love music... I can't write a book without it, and the playlist I have up is for my dark paranormal, FALLEN. Each song correlates to a particular scene. I love to dance, love to listen to live music, and think eyeliner on men is underrated.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is the book I've re-read the most and Mr. Darcy still makes me sigh. I love the Bronte sisters, Hawthorne, Margaret Atwood, Arthur Phillips, and Agatha Christie (love those British house party scenes and their amazing characterizations!), and I read a lot of nonfiction for research- especially on the paranormal.

Recently I've discovered YA author Stephenie Meyer thanks to Kathy Love, and I enjoy YA and chick lit authors Melissa Senate, Caren Lissner, Libba Bray, and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series.

As for romance authors, I love Teresa Medeiros, Connie Brockway, Lori Foster, Nora Roberts, Heather Graham, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips. All amazing writers and classy ladies.

I'm excited that my first YA book, Demon Envy, has hit the shelves.

About me:

A USA Today best selling author, I've written 13 romance novels since my first sale in 2002, and 2 novels for teens under the name ERIN LYNN. I've also participated in 13 anthology collections with some of the hottest names in romance.

I'm a restless writer (translation- I get bored easily!), so I've written sexy romantic comedies, vampire romances, teen paranormal fiction, and now dark and sexy paranormal romance novels.

To get more info about all my books and to read excerpts, I hope you'll drop by

Who I'd like to meet:

Dead or alive? If we're talking about someone dead, I'd pick Cleopatra. She ruled an empire and had two guys wrapped around her finger. That's impressive.

I did one of those online quizzes to find your famous dead soul mate and mine came up as Edgar Allan Poe. I wonder what that says about me?

As for here, I'd love to meet readers and writers, and connect with friends.

HARD AND FAST by Erin McCarthy



The sequel to Flat-Out Sexy, starring a bad boy race car driver hero who's met his match - from a hot USA Today bestselling author - Erin McCarthy.

Grad student Imogen Wilson realizes she's hit on the perfect thesis for her sociology degree. If she follows the so-called "rules" on how to get a man, can she steer her way into the world and hearts of stock race car drivers, and establish their dating - and mating - patterns?

Although sexy and reckless racer Ty McCordle is the ideal test subject, Imogen knows that for the sake of science, she can't give in to her growing attraction for him. Yet he's the one who's chasing after her, and Imogen realizes that she actually wants to be caught. A southern gentleman like Ty will satisfy all her curiosity - and make all the risks worthwhile...

WOW.
You told me the cover of Hard and Fast was "supposed" to be racier (haha, no pun intended) than Flat-Out Sexy... and I had some serious doubts...

UNTIL I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES! It's available for pre-order on Amazon, and my eyes quite literally popped out of my head! Holy extra-super-hottie, batman!

Well done, m'dear.. can't wait to get my hands on a copy!
