About Ciana

I'm one of those folks who has so many different nationalities in my heritage that I simply call myself  an American.  A writer of erotic romance, I'm also an artist, photographer and videographer.  I live in North Carolina and Florida with my honey-man and am, hand's down,  the luckiest woman in the world because I have a life I enjoy - every single moment.

Ciana's Favorite Things

My darling honey man. My children.  Most of my family. My Hussy Sisters. Writing, art, photography, my job, running, biking, swimming, weight training, hiking, exploring, traveling, reading, power tools, tractors, bulldozers, horses, cowboys, music, laughter, people who appreciate and enjoy their lives, people who are compassionate and kind to others, children, animals in general, sky watching, magic, mystery, science, dancing, romance, watching the sunrise,  watching the sun set.  Watching the moon rise, being at a Shuttle launch and feeling the earth shake and just being.  And did I mention cowboys?

Ciana's Least Favorite Things

Cooking (because I'm not good at it), going to the dentist, going shopping,  being around people who complain and whine, people who hurt animals, people who are mean-spirited, little dogs that bark all the time, snakes that fall from trees on top of me,  people who tend to everyone's business but their own,  not being able to find jeans that fit right and anyone who doesn't realize what a blessing each day is.

Most Asked Questions from Fans

1. Are you going to write Caleb's story?

Oh yes. In fact, Conn'n'Caleb will be releasing from Ellora's Cave on October 28th of this year.

2. Who's your favorite cover model?

All of them :)

3. What inspires your stories?

Life. People I've known, stories and legends I've heard, non-fiction books are great inspiration as are documentaries. But the truth is, I don't know where the tales come from. I just sit down and the computer and see what happens. If a character, or characters want to channel a tale through me, I'm all for it.

4. Will you ever do another book with a Native American hero like Wyatt in Wyatt's Chance?

As a matter of fact, I have one of those in the works now?

5. What books are you currently working on?

Ellora's Cave has just contracted the first book in a sci-fi/paranormal series I'm writing. The first book is titled "An Unwanted Hunger". No release date has been set for it yet.
I am also working on a new series with the fabulously talented, internationally published author, Sahara Kelly that is going to be very fun, very hot and very different.
The other work in progress features an oh-so-fine, Native American hero who is struggling against not only his own destiny but that of the woman he wants very much not to love

6. How do you feel about fans?

Why I love them! Fans ROCK! Let's face it, without fans we writers would be simply writing stories to entertain ourselves. Having people enjoy my books is what makes writing exciting and fulfilling. I love hearing from and meeting fans and feel I owe each and every person who's bought one of my books a great big THANK YOU!!

7. On your MySpace blog you write about a lot of unusual happenings in your life. Why do you think these crazy things happen to you?

Just lucky, I guess. There are a lot of strange, whacky and funny things that happen in life. Some people take an event and see the inconvenience, fear or annoyance in it. I choose to look at things with a more humorous eye. Let's face it, laughter is still the best medicine, so I look for the humor in life - even when the laugh is on me :) image
