What inspired you to become an author?
As a pre-teen, when I ran out of books to read, I
would write my own stories. I filled numerous spiral-bound notebooks this way.
As my younger cousins got older, they started reading my tales and demanded
more. My first novel was actually written for my cousin, Amy, who was my number
one “fan”.
Do you write in different genres?
I do actually. I write contemporary and paranormal
romance as Christy Gissendaner. Under my second identity, Robin Danner, I veer
toward historical and fantasy romance.
If yes which is your favorite genre to write?
Historical romance is the easiest for me to write since it’s what I grew up on. But I love
the humor I inject into my contemporaries. I really can’t pick between the two,
so I would have to say it’s a tie.
How did you come up with the title for your latest
book?
Funny you should ask. I actually had a working title
of Gone to the Dogs, but I was asked
to change it. Glad I did, because One
Hot Knight came to me and seemed to be the perfect fit.
Do you title the book first or wait until after it’s
complete?
Typically the title is the first thing that comes to
me when I sit down to write a new book. For One Hot Knight, I had the worst time trying to come up with a
title. It was hard to put a name to a cursed Crusader who ends up in modern
Chicago.
What book are you reading now?
I’m beta-reading a dystopian fantasy for my pal, Ann
Gimpel. It deals with wizards and earth mages. Ann painted a very vivid world
in Fortune’s Scion and I can’t wait
to see how it ends!
What is your current “work in progress” or upcoming projects?
Right now, I’m working on my fifth (and final)
Princes book as Robin Danner. After that, I’ll get back to my paranormal
series, Out of Bounds, and hopefully the follow-up to One Hot Knight.
Do you have to travel much to do research for your
books?
I wish!!! Traveling is one of my favorite things to
do. Sadly, I don’t get to do much of it. Ask the hubby, I plan vacays months
(sometimes years) in advance.
Do you have a song or playlist (book soundtrack) that
you think represents this book?
Even though this is fixing to label me a misfit, I
was on a *NSYNC kick during the extensive revisions of One Hot Knight. I admit it…to this day, they’re still my favorite
group of all-time. Gone is my
favorite song by them. Which brings me to a funny story…I attended a concert in
Memphis. As Justin Timberlake (be still my beating heart) got down on his knees
in front of me (no lie!) to pour out his soul in the lyrics, I ran out of film!
Can you believe it? The one time I was within touching distance of the boy, and
I couldn’t preserve it for posterity. ; )

Book Description:
Stupid curse!
Yves Sucat was a Crusader trapped in a canine body…until a beautiful twenty-first century dog groomer offered the missing link to break his spell. But Regina Patterson was no fluffy-headed female who would instantly melt at Yves' silvery seduction. The more time he spent with the tender-hearted blonde, the less he was able to keep his paws—hands!—off of her.
Regina was much more comfortable with dogs than men, and the stunningly handsome – stunningly male – knight who now shared her apartment was no exception. She’d hoped to find a man as loyal as the pooches she pampered day after day, but would Yves’s broken curse end with her own broken heart?
