Hump Day Interview - Annabeth Albert
Wednesday, 4 October 2017
It's that time of the week again and time for another Hump Day Interview. Today we have Annabeth Albert in the hot seat...
How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have? I wrote 5 books before finally selling. All those will live forever under my bed as they were where I learned the craft and grew as a writer. In terms of books that WILL be out—right now I have a finished novella and a finished novel, both of which will be out Spring 2018. I’ve got a partial that I may return to and then my current work in progress which is SEAL book #6.
How long on average does it take you to write a book?
A novella of around 40k takes me around a month from start to finish, and then around a week of solid edits. A 80k book takes around two months, and then around two weeks of edits and proofs.
What was the best money you ever spent as a writer?
Editing continues to be the best money I spend because my editors push me with every book to be a better writer. As a new writer, springing for some of Margie Lawson’s courses, especially Deep Editing, really helped me and I rec those courses to all new writers looking to up their editing and revision game.
What is your favorite childhood book?
Tied between Anne of Green Gables and These Happy Golden Years.
If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be and why?
I’d be peacock, proud and colorful and unique.

Tender With A Twist (Rainbow Cover #2) - OUT NOW
One kinky wood carver. One younger chef looking to try new things. A series of lessons that bring both men more than they bargained for…
Curtis Hunt has made a name for himself as a chainsaw wood carver, winning national competitions and operating a small business in Rainbow Cove, Oregon. As winter whittles away his tourist traffic, his goal is just to survive the season and try to not get lost in grief for his dead lover. It’s been two years, but he’s sure he’ll never be over the love of a lifetime. However, his body has a certain restlessness that he doesn’t quite know how to calm.
Logan Rosner knows a thing or two about restlessness. It’s what drove him to Rainbow Cove to be a chef at a bar and grill run by his friends. And it’s what drives him to a single sizzling encounter with the local legendary lumberjack. Both men get far more than they expected and learn that first impressions aren’t always accurate…
But when Logan proposes a series of sexy lessons, Curtis must decide how much he’s willing to risk. He knows he can’t afford to get attached to Logan’s good cooking, his easy smiles, or his caretaking, but he keeps going back for more, even as deeper emotions become involved. Soon, Curtis must decide whether to risk his heart again or risk losing Logan for good.
