Interview with Dixie Lee Brown, Author of Whatever it Takes and Giveaway
Please give special guest Dixie Lee Brown a warm welcome to the virtual offices!
(Manga Maniac Cafe) Describe yourself in five words or less.
(Dixie Lee Brown) Independent; persistent; reliable; animal lover
(Manga Maniac Cafe) Can you tell us a little about your book?
Who should save his bacon but the beautiful and mysterious Alex Morgan, the woman he hasn’t stopped thinking about since she wrecked his classic car in book #3? Alex’s past haunts her day and night. She has a smart mouth, a chip on her shoulder, a dagger on her belt, and knows how to use them all.
Nate sees through her bluster and signs on to help her rescue a kidnapped boy, but his own trouble just might get her killed—or is it the other way around?
(Manga Maniac Café) How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
(Dixie Lee Brown) Nate and Alex both appeared in the third book in the series, IF YOU ONLY KNEW. Their character descriptions and backstory were already set, as well as the setting for the beginning of the story at Nate’s house. Combine that with two minor unanswered questions that suddenly become very important and a “crazy” heroine, and I had my concept.
(Manga Maniac Café) What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
(Dixie Lee Brown) I love the relationships in this book. Alex and Nate are right for each other. Most of Joe’s team from the first three books put in appearances, plus Alex’s best friend from book #1. I love having the whole team show up. Also, being a romantic suspense, there’s a lot of action in this book. Action is just plain fun to write!
(Manga Maniac Café) What gave you the most trouble with this story?
(Dixie Lee Brown) It’s the same problem I have with every book. I’ll write two chapters leading up to a specific event and then handle the event and its aftermath in a paragraph! Lol! My editor calls me on it every time!
(Manga Maniac Café) If you had a theme song, what would it be?
(Dixie Lee Brown) Being the hopeless romantic I am, it would be “I Won’t Let Go” by Rascal Flatts
(Manga Maniac Café) Name one thing you won’t leave home without.
(Dixie Lee Brown) My Kindle – of course.
(Manga Maniac Café) Name three things on your desk right now.
(Dixie Lee Brown) Laptop, notepaper, and a jump drive
(Manga Maniac Café) If you could trade places with anyone for just one day, who would you be?
(Dixie Lee Brown) Assuming something would also make me magically capable of doing her job, I’d want to trade places with my wonderful Avon editor, Chelsey Emmelhainz, cuz she’s terrific!
(Manga Maniac Cafe) What are some books that you enjoyed recently?
(Dixie Lee Brown) The Golden Key Chronicles by AJ Nuest
Asking For Trouble by Jannine Gallant
The Dysfunctional Test by Kelly Moran
Hard As You Can by Laura Kaye
(Manga Maniac Cafe) What do you like to do when you aren’t writing?
(Dixie Lee Brown) You probably hear this all the time, but if I have spare time—I read!
(Manga Maniac Cafe) How can readers connect with you?

Whatever it Takes
Trust No One # 4
By: Dixie Lee Brown
Releasing August 12th, 2014
Avon: Impulse
Blurb
Assassin Alex Morgan will do anything to save an innocent life – especially if it means rescuing a child from a hell like the one she endured.
But going undercover as husband and wife, with none other than the disarmingly sexy Detective Nate Sanders, may be a little more togetherness than she can handle. She’s used to working alone, and no man is going to change that – not even a man who makes her heart pound and her defenses crumble with just a touch
Nate has dodged more than a few bullets over the years, but fighting his attraction for Alex may be the bullet that does him in. Still, Nate’s determined to help her find the missing kid. There’s no doubt in his mind that they’re walking straight into danger, but Nate’s willing to face anything if it means protecting Alex. She might have been on her own once, but Nate has one more mission: to stay by her side – forever.
