Welcome M.A!   Book Name: Trouble Comes in Threes Goodreads Link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23631202-trouble-comes-in-threes Author Name: M.A. Church   M.A. Church is a true Southern belle who spent many years in the elementary education sector. Now she spends her days lost in fantasy worlds, arguing with hardheaded aliens on far-off planets, herding her numerous shifters, or trying to tempt her country boys away from their fishing poles. It’s a full time job, but hey, someone’s gotta do it! When not writing, she’s exploring the latest M/M novel to hit the market, watching her beloved Steelers, or sitting glued to HGTV. That’s if she’s not on the back porch tending to the demanding wildlife around the pond in the backyard. The ducks are very outspoken. She’s married to her high school sweetheart, and they have two children. She was a finalist in the Rainbow awards for 2013.

After two soul-crushing bad breaks, Kirk’s waiting for disaster number three to strike when naturally, two stray cats arrive on his doorstep during the storm and decide to make themselves at home. Tenderhearted Kirk lets them stay even though there’s something decidedly odd about his overly friendly felines.   Out of the punishing weather, and full of tuna, Dolf and Tal are happy to be snug in Kirk’s house. But then their human goes outside for firewood and suffers a nasty fall that leaves him unconscious. Now the two cats have no choice but to reveal themselves.   Kirk wakes up to find the two kitties are actually Dolf and Tal. They’re cat shifters—and his destined mates. Being part of a feline threesome is enough for Kirk to grapple with, but soon he learns they come from a clowder that doesn’t believe humans and shifters should mix. Kirk knew those two cats would be trouble. Little does he know the real trouble lies ahead.

You know how you see other authors talking about how they were writing back in fifth grade and stuff? *snort* Yeah, lol, that’s not me. I actually got my start in 2010 by sheer accident. I was the primary caregiver for a terminal parent at the time. One night, after a stressful day, I was surfing the Internet. I’d read all the books I had, and I didn’t feel like going out and buying one. (I hadn’t started buying Ebooks yet.) So, I was looking for stories to read and stumbled across a free website called Literotica. It had all these sections! Holy cow, I was like a kid in a candy store, lol. Well, it had a Gay Male section. I’d never read Gay Male, so I clicked on it. As luck would have it, the first story I opened was a very good one. And there you go, I was hooked. Oh my God, I think I read the whole Gay Male section over the next several months. Seriously! Then I got to wondering if I could do this. Nomoretears00, my name there, was created. The rest is history as they say, lol.   ~How did you come up with Trouble Comes in Threes? I’ve written about aliens with feline characters, and shifters who are part of the big cat family. Well, one day while looking at ARe I got to thinking… Yeah, folks who know me just cringed, lol. Anyway, there are all these cat shifters out there: lions, tigers, cougars… what about the smaller cats, huh? Didn’t they deserve some love too? And yes, I admit, the big cats are erotic and dangerous but, but… how many of us have one? Seriously. Most of us have regular cats as pets. Don’t get me wrong, I think the big cats are cool, but I sure don’t want to walk in the kitchen and see one on my counter staring at me in the middle of the night. Or any other time of the day, lol. That’s how the cats from Trouble came about. 🙂   Are you a cat person or a dog person? Why? Cat! Catcatcatcatcat!!! LOL. I like cats, can ya tell? I’m not a dog person. A rather large dog bit me when I was a small child, and I remember it. Dogs know I’m scared of them. So, of course, if I’m at a friend’s home and they have a dog… the dog glues itself to my side and won’t leave, lol. They want to love all over me, and all I want is for them to just go away, lol. Then I have to come home and explain myself to Kitty-Kitty. He really doesn’t like me coming in smelling like dog. 😉   ~What is your favorite part about writing a paranormal romance? Bawahahahahah! The freedom to do whatever I want! Within reason, of course, lol.  What I mean is you have to make sense. It’s my belief your character has to have an element of realism. In a series of mine, I have mpreg. To some folks, I just step out into left field. The thing is, with this concept, you have to have an idea how to make it work. It has to be explained in such a way it *could* be done if the science was advanced enough. And whoooo boy, the world building that goes with this! Man, that can be a blast. That’s what I mean by freedom. I love taking an idea and making it real.   ~Where do you do your writing? Everywhere and nowhere, lol. I don’t actually have a set place. I’m working on it, though. I have all these ideas for an office. More often than not, I’m on the couch working. Or maybe sitting in bed. Or on the back porch, if it’s nice out. Like I said, lol, everywhere and nowhere. But it seems to work for me.   ~Do you listen to music while you write? Or do you like quiet? Funny you should ask. I used to say no, that it distracted me. Then I did a play list for Be My Human and guess what??? I found music! *jumps and down* I will say if I’m having trouble with a section, I take the ear buds out and go to the ol’ standby… silence.   ~What are you working on next? Right now, I’m putting the finishing touches on The Harvest: Journey’s End. It’s due out in early January. Along with that, I’m working on Behind the Eight Ball. This is book 2 in the Fur, Fangs, and Felines series and is about Heller. He’s one of the betas in Trouble Comes in Threes and he really, really does not like humans. *raises eyebrow* Their goddess has plans for Heller, lol.       ~art work done by August (Gus) Li     Dolf picked out the saw he wanted, then followed Tal to another aisle. His mate pointed out the different kinds, but Tal’s words had rapidly faded into a meaningless buzz. There, on the air currents in the store, was the sweetest scent. It was light and flowery, reminding him of honeysuckle. He breathed deeply, taking the scent into himself. His cock hardened immediately and his head spun. A yowl threatened to escape. That scent… that scent was seductive and alluring. It spoke to him, whispering things that made him need. His cat paced frantically in his mind, tail slashing madly. The need to pounce, to sink his canines in and drink that sweet, life-giving blood of his…. His gums tingled and saliva flooded his mouth. He swallowed, then swallowed again as his head pounded, his heart rate spiking as one thought screamed through his mind: Mate! Another mate! Where was that scent coming from? Or who? And by the goddess, why? He already had a mate. What was their goddess thinking, giving him another? But he couldn’t ignore the reaction. It had been the same when he met Tal.     Tour Dates/Stops: 15-Dec Scattered Thoughts & Rogue Words Multitasking Mommas Hearts on Fire 16-Dec Book Reviews, Rants, and Raves Nephylim It’s Raining Men Rainbow Gold Reviews 17-Dec BFD Book Blog Love Bytes Velvet Panic MM Good Book Reviews 18-Dec Wake Up Your Wild Side The Hat Party The Fuzzy, Fluffy World of Chris T.
