What
inspired you to become an author?
Currently I still work as an employment advisor for a
private welfare organization. We always have a morning meeting before 9
o’clock. During one very dull meeting, which was about self employment, I
completely switched off and started thinking about really random stuff. Suddenly I had this idea in my head, what if
I can write a book about the recruitment agency for all the supernatural
creatures? When I left the room all these images started coming into my head
and I knew it that I had to start writing it straight away.
Do
you write in different genres?
Yes I am currently working on contemporary romance.
If
yes which is your favorite genre to write?
Paranormal Romance
Do
you title the book first or wait until after it’s complete?
Sometimes I have the title before I start writing
and other times I come up with the title while I am working on the book. It all
depends of the story.
Is
the book, characters, or any scenes based on a true life experience, someone
you know, or events in your own life?
Not quite, but a few of
my work collogues said that the office that Julia works in is very similar to my
actual office in Wales. The first scene is actually based on a true life experience;
someone actually came in to the office once and threatened the consultant with a
chain saw. A friend of mine told me this story a while back and I decided that
it would fit perfectly well into my story.
What
books/authors have influenced your life?
Definitely JK Rowling and Charlaine Harris.
What
book are you reading now?
Watch Over Me by Daniela Sacerdoti,
What
books are in your to read pile?
Paranormalcy,
UnEnchanted (An Unfortunate Fairy Tale)
What
is your current “work in progress” or upcoming projects?
I am working currently on a new adult contemporary romance;
I am planning to release it in August.
Can
you share a little of your current work with us?
£6.19 per Witching Hour is about a recruitment agency in
London that deals with jobs for all the supernatural creatures. Julia Taylor is
the main character. She is the main consultant that deals with fairies,
vampires, witches, hags, wizards, mermaids, elves, giants and trolls that are
unemployed. The story is filled with
action and mystery and of course steamy romance. The action picks up once Julia
has to negotiate a contract with handsome vampire, Nathaniel La Caz.
Is
there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Yes, I am not a native English Speaker, so sometimes
I struggle to find certain words in English.
Do
you have to travel much to do research for your books?
I do all my research through the internet.
Who
designed the cover of your latest book?
I bought the stock picture and designed the cover.

Paranormal Personnel Saga Book One
Paranormal Personnel Saga Book One
Joanna Mazurkiewicz
Genre: paranormal romance
Book Description:
Julia Taylor works as a recruitment consultant for Paranormal Personnel in London. Her days at work seem normal, she sees clients that regularly are looking for work, she source new vacancies, updates CV and visits employers.
Everything is pretty ordinary for her, apart from the fact that Julia is half elf and Paranormal Personnel is not an ordinary agency at all because all jobless supernatural creatures come to the agency to look for work. Fairies, vampires, witches, hags, wizards, mermaids, elves, giants and trolls, they all need to find employment and during this economic climate this seems pretty challenging.
Julia doesn’t want her life to be complicated but when her day is interrupted by the shape shifter with the chain saw; she just has to deal with him as she always does. She is normally calm, confident and is not afraid to stand up for herself but when the meeting with Nathaniel’s Corporation goes not as well as she expected she wants to bury herself under the ground and die.
Then Mr. La Caz gets under her skin, lights up a fire inside her, she accidently reads his thoughts and learns that he craves for her, he wants to suck her dry but she is convinced that he is not even a vampire.
