Who are you?

​Denise Bossarte is an author, poet, and photographer whose passion is sharing the worlds of her mind and camera. Her daytime job in IT helps to keep the household running.

​Where do you live?

​Houston, TX

​What’s your home life like?

​We are pretty quiet here at the Bossarte household.
 
I live with my husband and ginormous Pixiebob cat. The humans like time for reading and playing on the computer. Kitty just likes to eat, sleep and snuggle.
 
I am also a professional photographer, so I spend time both writing and doing photography related activities.

​What genre(s) to you like to write? To read?

​I love writing Paranormal Thrillers/ Dark Urban Fantasy novels. I think that would come as a surprise to most folks who know me, as I don’t show my dark side in the world except through my writing.
 
I love to read – Fantasy, Sci-fi, Horror, Spirituality, non-fiction, any really good fiction that a friend recommends or that has won awards. Good stories are the key!

Why did you start writing?

​I’ve been writing since I was in elementary school, to be technically correct.
 
But I started writing Glamorous because I had a story that kept growing in my mind.
 
It started out as a “fever” dream one year when I had my annual bout of bronchitis. Laying in bed, too sick to do much but not tired enough to sleep all day.
And the original basic premise came in that dream.
 
Grace did not stop insisting her story be heard since then!

What do you do when you’re not writing?

I do yoga, meditation, walking, volunteering at my church, and photography.
​
I am a contemplative photography practitioner and teacher, so I spend as much time out of doors taking pictures as much as I can!

Where do you like to go when looking for a new book to read?

​I like looking at Amazon’s best seller lists, and love those Goodreads emails with discount books!

At what point do you call it quits when reading a new book?

​If it is a good book, at the end. (ha!)
If it is not a good book for me, then by the end of the first or second chapter.

Are you independently or traditionally published?

Independently

How many books/stories have you published so far?

10
1 Novel – Glamorous, a Paranormal Thriller / Dark Urban Fantasy
1 book of illustrated Poetry – Dreams of the Turtle King. I did the beach inspired poetry and an artist friend did the illustrations. 
8 books of photography, with 7 more posting to Amazon early this year.

What book/story are you currently promoting or working on? 

​I have just finished writing 2 short stories (~40 pages each) set in Grace’s Paranorm world: RETURN and BEGINNINGS.
They are off to the editor!
Pre-orders available in January 2018 and releases set for Feb 2018.

What’s the elevator pitch?

RETURN

​​Danny is haunting his sister.
It’s the least a brother can do.
 
Danny may be a ghost, but he still enjoys computers, driving his sister crazy, and helping her save the world.
 
But how did Danny end up haunting Grace?
 
What happened that fateful day Danny died?
Where did he go and what did he experience?
 
Did he have a choice about returning to Grace?
 
Find out in Danny’s story: RETURN!
​

BEGINNINGS

Her powers cost her dearly.
Just her brother’s life.
 
Grace lost her little brother in a fatal car accident.
But that same accident was the catalyst to awaken her Paranormal gifts.
 
How did her powers emerge after the accident?
Did anyone believe her abilities? Did she think she was going crazy?
 
Found out how Grace survived the trauma of the accident and becoming a Paranorm in her story BEGINNGS!

How long have you been working on it?

​I thought about these stories for about a year.
Pen to paper took less than two days per story to write and about a day per story to edit.
We’ll see what the editor says!

​When will it be available to buy? Where?

​They will be available on pre-order by early January on Amazon.
They will be available for purchase on Amazon.com in February on Amazon.

How can readers follow you?

​Anything you’d like to add?

​I hope everyone enjoys Glamorous. Please leave feedback for me on Amazon or Goodreads. I love to hear from readers about what they like or didn’t like. It helps me grow as a writer!

I'd like to thank Denise for reaching out to me, offering me a free copy of her book in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed getting to know Grace Bishop and following her paranormal adventures.

Sincerely,
