Today we have a visit from Cathy Faraday, the main female character in The Old Star

Hi Cathy, Welcome to the blog, firstly tell us a little about the book you feature in.

The Old Star is the story of me looking for new office premises. I do find somewhere, a converted house that ‘calls’ to me. It’s a spooky story but a love story too. There’s some real life type things happen in the story to offset the darker parts. I can’t say too much as it would be a spoiler.

Most of us want to be different, so what is the one thing you wish the author had done differently with you?

I like who I am. I can’t think of much I would want to change. I really needed to meet the leading man in this story. It was time for me to wake up a little sexually. I have a business I love and make friends easily. 
If you could have added something to the story, and the author would have let you, what would that have been?

I think it would have been to move into a new office premises, to complete that goal I had, although there are good reasons why it hasn’t happened yet.

You get the chance to have the author change your name what will it be?

Cathy is okay, but yes I would have liked a more exotic name. Raven, Tasha, or Angel, maybe.

What about the leading man, do like his name?

Oh yes, it’s perfect like him…for me…I’m in love with him so maybe I’m biased.

What do you like best about him?

He’s so affectionate, so ready to make love to me. I needed that…I need it. He’s kind, creative, thoughtful, brave too.

Give up three secrets about yourself:

No…okay, but they are quite mild. I love sour cream and chive chips. I love sexy underwear, it has to be black or dark blue, lace, sheer, just sexy stuff, even when I’m in jeans and a T-shirt. I love walking barefoot on the lawn when it’s rained. (smiles) I told you they were ordinary, but I don’t talk about any of them…

Will you appear in any other books from this author?

I don’t think so. The story is complete for me.

Thank you for dropping by. Before you leave, can you share one of your favorite parts of the book without giving too much away and tell us why you chose it?

This is hard because I love the whole book, but I’ll choose a love scene, because it’s so yummy to read about Owen making love to me.

Snippet From The Old Star: R rated 18+

“What do you want Cathy?” He whispered, as her fingertips moved over his shoulders and his chest. “Tell me.”
She was in a fog of desire. He had his thumb on her clit and she could feel the palm of his hand against her as his fingers moved in and out. She could hardly breathe for the sheer bliss of his lips on hers, his other hand around her body to keep her where he wanted her, gave her such pleasure she felt heavy with lust.
“I want you. I want you so much…”
“Tell me again, tell me…” Owen kissed her, and it was so good, so sexy, she felt herself melt more where his fingers were. She had never felt so wet. She didn’t want it to end.
“I want your cock in me. I want…”
Owen kissed her and took his fingers from her. She moaned softly wanting them back. He kissed her again tenderly. Cathy put her hand up to hold his face and kiss him urgently.
He lifted her and moved her to straddle him.

From Elodie
Just a little about me to let your readers know who I am.

I live in the United Kingdom and I work in an antiques shop as well as writing. I have two dogs that keep me fit with their need for walks. I love the countryside and the coast.
I write romance, contemporary, and erotic with a twist of mystery, suspense, or the paranormal, now and then. I like to make the story unusual in some way, by a quirk in the tale. My books are always steamy.
