Interview with C.J. Thomas, author of Black Promises

What can you tell us about your new release, Black Promises?

Black promises is book 5 in my a Kelly Black Affair series. It’s a plot-driven story with plenty of twists and turns to keep you glued to the pages. It’s dark and edgy with a colorful cast of characters that will keep you guessing who is manipulating whom. If you like your books fast-paced, steamy, and with a bit of mystery the series is perfect for you.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

A little rain each day, fills the rivers to overflowing. Liberian proverb.

What’s on your top 5 list for best books you’ve ever read?

Ishmael, Daniel Quinn

The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown

A Purple Place to Die, John D McDonald

Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer

Dark Star Safari, Paul Theroux

Say you’re the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask?

Dr. Seuss. Breakfast or dinner?

Who is your favorite couple from literature?

Peeta and Katniss,  the Hunger Games.

What’s on your writing desk?

A to-do list. Ha!

What scene in Black Promises was your favorite to write?

So many great moments, but I really like when Kelly’s life is in danger and Kendra saves him before its too late.
