For
fans of Karen Robards and Shiloh Walker, Anise Eden brings us the mesmerizing
sequel to her paranormal romantic suspense novel All the Broken Places.
Cate's enemies aren't just surrounding
her―they're inside her head.
Therapist Cate Duncan has just
accepted a job with the MacGregor Group, a unique collective of alternative
healers. She’s excited by the prospect of honing her empathic healing
techniques among others like herself―aura readers, telepaths, crystal healers,
and more. The fact that Cate just started dating Ben, her magnetic new boss, is
an added bonus.
Before Cate can settle into her new
routine, the poisoning of a prominent neuroscientist draws the entire MacGregor
Group into both a federal investigation and an even more insidious threat.
Protected by Ben’s former Marine Corps unit, Cate and her colleagues must use
their alternative healing methods to solve the crime as their patient clings to
life. The responsibility of discovering crucial information falls to Cate and
her parapsychological powers.
But for Cate, unraveling the mystery
means reopening wounds that had just begun to heal―and in the environment of
the Marine Corps unit, differences between Cate and Ben become clearer,
straining their budding romance. When a new crisis looms, Cate must trust in
her colleagues’ gifts and the strength of Ben’s love, finding the courage to
confront her deepest and most terrifying demons―or her own life will be at
risk.

Author Anise Eden writes The Healing
Edge paranormal romantic suspense series for Diversion Books. She spends most
of her time tucked away in her writing nook imagining things that aren’t there.
On those rare occasions when she emerges from seclusion, Anise may be spotted
in coffee shops, staring at her laptop screen and silently moving her lips as
she reviews bits of dialogue. Although Anise claims that she’s the one in
charge, the characters in her head do sometimes make her laugh out loud at
inappropriate moments.

INTERVIEW
WITH ANISE EDEN
How would you
describe you style of writing to someone that has never read your work?
I
find it next to impossible to describe my own writing style, perhaps because
I’m too close to it. I can tell you
that readers have called my writing style “lyrical, yet accessible” and
“fluid,” and have said that the way I write makes them want to keep turning the
pages. I couldn’t be happier with that description!
What mindset or
routine do you feel the need to set when preparing to write (in general whether
you are working on a project or just free writing)?
It depends on whether I’m writing a first draft, or
editing. When I’m drafting, I try to get into a flow where I’m completely
absorbed, and I do that best when I can work in silence and without
interruption. When I’m editing, I’m jumping around the manuscript more, and I take
a lot of mini-breaks to roll potential edits around in my head. At those times,
I welcome distractions, and find myself doing things like taking the dog for a
walk or checking the news online.
Do you take your
character prep to heart? Do you nurture the growth of each character all the
way through to the page? Do you people watch to help with development? Or do
you build upon your character during story creation?
I don’t know if it will always be like this, but the
central characters of The Healing Edge Series arrived in my mind already fully
formed. I could see and hear them as whole, real people from the start. With
secondary characters, I have a general idea of who they are, but they tend to develop
as I write, and I may make changes to them to suit the demands of the plot.
Have you found
yourself bonding with any particular character? If so which one(s)?
I’d say that I’ve bonded with all of the central
characters in The Healing Edge Series. Each one reflects either some aspect of
who I am, or who I would like to be. Even the secondary characters are people
with whom I can empathize in some essential way; otherwise, I think I would
find it difficult to write them.
Do you have a
character that you have been working on that you can't wait to put to paper?
I have two, actually! I’m planning an urban fantasy novel
set in a hospital, and the hero and heroine are so unusual and full of life
that I can’t wait to put them on the page. They keep knocking on the door,
asking me to tell their story; I have to keep putting them off because I’m
still in the process of editing the third book in The Healing Edge Series. They’re
very impatient!
Have you ever felt
that there was something inside of you that you couldn't control? If so what?
If no what spurs you to reach for the unexperienced?
When the impulse to write Cate’s story came over me
several years ago, it felt like an urge that I couldn’t control, almost like a
compulsion. ALL THE BROKEN PLACES, the first book in The Healing Edge Series,
was the outcome, and the desire to write has only grown with time.
