Meet Kacey Mark
Author of A MUSE GONE ROGUE and A MUSE GONE COMMANDO

How did you come up with your title?
For my dark muse series: The first book just popped into my head. Rouges are kind of notorious in romance novels, so I thought “A Muse Gone Rogue” would be a fun tongue-in-cheek title, and I had to carry it through the series with “A Muse Gone Commando”.
Describe your book in 7 words or less.
Sin inspiring muses looking to collect souls
What genre do you prefer to write in and why?
I love paranormal for the escape from reality it offers.
What do you think your protagonist thinks of you, the creator?
My protagonist loves me *bats lashes* Oh, they might hate me in the beginning, like Tobin in book one. But I’m pretty sure, at least in Tobin’s case, he’s forgiven me because he demanded to be the hero in book two and I listened to him. Sometimes he knows what he’s talking about…sometimes.
Do you think your MC would want to be your friend?
I’m a pretty shy person in real life, and these are larger-than-life characters. It would take me a while to come out of my shell. But I think that ultimately, yes. Lock me in a room for a week and force me to talk to them. If we both come out alive we will probably be friends J
Are you a pantser or a plotter?
Panster all the way. I tried plotting once but it just depressed me, because I already knew what was coming and writing felt like a chore to me. I like the surprises better.

I have a whored-out ghost story waiting for its happy ending, and Lochlan Ward from book 2 waiting patiently in the wings to finally get his woman.
Which of your books is your favorite?
Always the one that I am writing at the moment. Writing is such a fun process. It only gets better with each new twist and turn of the plot line.
What made you decide to go the publishing route you did?
I’m not a word smith, I’m a story weaver but I’m not proud. I’ll readily admit that I suck at editing and I needed a hand with that. Not to mention Evernight Publishing has some ah-huh-mazing book covers. They have been so wonderful to work with!
Do you write every single day? Every other day? Once a week? Or just when the muse hits you?
I try to at least advance the ball every day. I’m not as strict about it as I’d like to be, but life sometimes is more important than fantasy so it creeps in when it needs to and I let it, then I’m ready to hit the keyboard anew the next day.
What other projects do you have in the works at the moment?

I refuse to read reviews. I don’t look at book sales either. I figure if I do extremely well, I’ll get a big head and write like I know it all, ultimately failing in my own narcissism. If I do poorly, I’ll get discouraged and stop writing. It’s not a popularity contest as far as I’m concerned. I’m just out there for the fun of it.
Do you write under a pen name? If so, why did you decide to use a pen name? How did you come up with it?
I do write under a pen name in case I ever decide to switch genres, but it took me forever to decide on just one. I ultimately took a family pet’s name. How clever was that? Haha!
What was the hardest scene to write in your story?
The fight scenes. I love watching them on TV, but they don’t come across on the page quite as easily as I see them in my head. *shrugs*
What are 4 things you never leave home without?
1) My cell phone. It’s become another appendage I’m afraid.
2) My ten-gallon purse that’s currently jammed with more useless junk than I know what to do with. Next level up is a shopping cart :)
3) My little laptop. It’s my writer’s security blanket.
4) Make-up. I don’t think anyone outside my house has seen me without makeup since 7th grade. Tragic, I know.
What is the strangest thing you’ve ever had to research for one of your novels?
I had the pleasure of going to a pro-level pole dancing class for my second book. The girls were so friendly and personable, and holy cow they were strong! They’ve got some serious skill!
