Smashwords Interview

What's the story behind your latest book?
A CUT-THROAT BUSINESS is the third novel in the CHASTITY FLAME series. Because she's exploring her first stable relationship, I wanted to move the focus from her sexual shenanigans to emphasise even more the thrills and suspense. So she's facing two dangerous men, not only at the same time, but they end up ganging up on her.
What are you working on next?
I just finished another crime-related novel, WHITE RABBIT, which has a slightly supernatural element as well as a noirish feel. I have a few non-fiction projects to work on then I have to choose between a novel that's a ghost story and another that's based on a medieval romance. Maybe I'll just work on both at once (as usual).

Smashwords book reviews by K. A. Laity

  • Anne Billson on Film 2009 on Feb. 15, 2012

    I recall getting Billson's BFI volume on Carpenter's The Thing. It was a damn good thing I was going to Ealing Broadway (end of the line) because I never looked up from the pages until I realised the train had stopped. Accessible, entertaining and insightful: while I may not always agree I find much to provoke further discussion and -- you never know -- maybe change my opinion.
  • Burning Bridges: A Renegade Fiction Anthology on May 02, 2012

    Out of the ashes of burnt bridges, a rare phoenix arises! The publishing landscape is littered with corpses, but some writers refuse to lie down and die just because they got screwed by an unethical 'publisher' -- no! They knew that living well is the best revenge. There's something here for everyone. Dig in, the prices is right -- you get a sampler of some of the finest in both new and seasoned writers.
  • Billson Film Database on Dec. 23, 2013

    A fine compendium of precise reviews for an enormous variety of films. Wondering if that film you've vaguely heard of might be worth viewing or if that classic stays fresh after decades? Check Billson's guide to get a sense of whether it's worth your time. Just beware, you may end up spending your time reading instead. Succinct, amusing but most of all, informative.
