Author Spotlight with Dana Marie Bell
Please welcome to Readers Confession, Coast Magic Featured Author, Dana Marie Bell. Let’s learn a little bit about her and find out what’s her newest release! ![:-)]()
Mini Interview:
What is your writing schedule like?
Get up, have breakfast, put on music/tv (I need sound when I write or I get distracted by the clacking of the keys), re-read what I wrote the day before to get myself in the swing of things, and off I go! I take periodic breaks when my hands hurt or the voices go quiet. When that happens, I get up, wander the house, talk to my husband, play with the puppy or make a snack. Then it’s back to the keyboard until I’m dried up for the day, somewhere between 1800 and 3000 words a day, four to five days a week.
Do you write multiple books at once?
Oh hell no. I have seven (at last count) series going at once, all with different worlds and rules. I’d lose what little mind I have left. I have kids, so there isn’t much to spare, you know.
I know you write lots of shifter books. What draws you to shifters?
I like shifters because a) FUZZIES! and b) their power is finite. I can’t Mary Sue my way out of a corner I write myself in. If their powers don’t cover the problem, they’re SOL. So I have to think both inside and outside the box when it comes to bad guys or situations, and that makes my evil little heart go pitty-pat with glee.
What is your all-time favorite author/series to read and why?
Aw, jeez. You’re asking a lifetime bookaholic what/who they love most? That’s like picking between your kids! Hmm… MaryJanice Davidson’s shifter books, Shelley Laurenston’s shifter books, Anne Bishop’s Dark Jewels series (so love Lucivar), Mary Calmes’s shifter series and her Bulletproof series, TJ Klune’s Bear, Otter and the Kid series… too many to name, really.
What are you most looking forward to at Coastal Magic?
Well, two things. First, getting to hang with authors and readers alike. I love small cons because it gives you a chance to sit down and really enjoy one another, something it’s hard to do at the larger conventions. And second, the ocean! I love the ocean, and every time I see it I’m inspired to write something involving mermaids or selkies.

by Dana Marie Bell
by Dana Marie Bell
The last Beckett brother is going down.If he had a choice, Daniel Beckett would wait to cast the Beckett family mating spell until his life is more settled. But his brothers, worried he’s losing himself to his wolf, aren’t giving it to him.Daniel doesn’t need a spell to know Kerry Andrews is his mate. With the last of the Godwin warlocks still on the loose, Daniel crosses his fingers that the willful, stubborn, beautiful woman will allow him to protect her.
Kerry is tempted to make Daniel wait, like he’s made her wait for so long. But the decision is taken out of her hands when things start going horribly wrong. A sleeper hex is activated, putting her life in danger—and the only safe place to run is Daniel’s waiting arms.
Once there, Kerry finds a whole new world to explore with her magical mate. But Arthur Godwin is plotting to rip away their newfound happiness. Women who look like Kerry are turning up dead…and it’s only a matter of time before the killer’s weapon hits its intended prey.
