Ruby Release Party: HER OWN BEST ENEMY by Cynthia Justlin

Posted by Mar 31 2011, 12:01 am in , ,

I’m so thrilled to host today’s release party for Cynthia Justlin’s first release, HER OWN BEST ENEMY! Cynthia decided to take the plunge and publish her book independently, and she has more titles on the way (which is very good news for lovers of romantic suspense and really hot action heroes ;) Cynthia graciously agreed to answer my questions about heroes, heroines, the sometimes-controversial inclusion of children in romance novels, and a variety of other topics. Check out her responses below – and one lucky commenter will win a copy of the book!

Sara Ramsey: First, tell me a bit about HER OWN BEST ENEMY. What drew you to this story? Was this the book that pushed you toward writing romantic suspense?

Cynthia Justlin: I started out writing contemporary romances aimed at Harlequin and I resisted writing romantic suspense at first because I honestly thought I wouldn’t be any good at it. Writing romantic suspense required extensive plotting, something I couldn’t do to save my life. But then a spark of an idea came to me—what if a woman’s son goes missing and the only way to get him back is to go to the one man she despises above all others? HER OWN BEST ENEMY was ‘born’ and I figured I had nothing to lose by trying to write the book, even if it was just out of curiosity. Imagine my surprise when I realized I had quite the knack for writing action scenes and, hey, I could actually plot pretty darn effectively too. Since then, there’s been no going back.

Sara: Good – you really are talented at action and suspense! Your hero, Keith King, strides off the page – a hot, no-nonsense Special Ops warrior with strong protective instincts (and the deadly skills necessary to back them up!). But, he’s also dealing with hard issues from his past. What I loved best about him was that he wasn’t just a stock ‘warrior with a dark secret’ character – he really came to life for me immediately. Did you have any particular inspiration for this character? And where can I find a Keith of my own? ;)

Cynthia: I always joke with my husband that I must not be in touch with my feminine side, because I find it so much easier to write the hero’s point-of-view than the heroine’s. Somehow they just…sing for me. With Keith, I wanted a hero that would really crave what the heroine had to offer. She’s the strong, nurturing type who will do anything to protect those she loves, something that is so foreign to Keith, who was neglected by his mother and never had a real place to call home.

When my husband first found out I was writing an Army Spec Ops hero, he kept insisting I should name the character after his best friend, Rey (middle name of Keith), who actually served in the Special Forces. Just to shut him up, I complied. LOL. I swapped first and middle names and my hero became Keith King.

Oh, and I think you can find a Keith of your very own at your nearest Army Surplus store. ;)

Sara: *goes to Army Surplus store* *is placed under a restraining order* *resumes interview like nothing happened* The heroine, Grace Stevens, is desperate to find her eight-year-old son Ryker, who was taken by his father and is in ever-increasing danger. She is a strong, take-no-prisoners woman who will stop at nothing to save her son, but that makes teaming up with Keith difficult for both of them.

The role of the heroine in contemporary romantic suspense has always fascinated me – it’s so hard to find the proper balance for a heroine who can save herself (so she doesn’t look completely useless) but isn’t so wildly competent that she can do without the hero (in which case he’s only there for the sex ;) . I thought you struck a great balance here for Grace’s character – how did you approach her, and do you have any thoughts to share on heroines in romantic suspense?

Cynthia: Grace actually came pretty naturally to me. I’m a mother of two boys; I’d walk through hell and back multiple times to make sure they’re protected. I know how that emotion feels, the superhuman strength that comes from loving your child that much. In Grace’s case, she’s almost reckless in her single-minded pursuit of Ryker. Keith helps temper her recklessness with his rigid control, and teaches her about trust along the way.

Sara: I’ve read romances before where children seem to be a gimmick, but I thought that every scene with Ryker was absolutely lovely. You really painted a picture of the eight-year-old that tugged at the heartstrings without feeling either manipulative or out of place, and he was one of the (many) highlights of the book for me. So I guess this isn’t really a question – just an opportunity to applaud you for this!

Cynthia: Thanks! :) I know that some readers really don’t like children in their romance books, so I tried to make sure he wasn’t taking up too much ‘screen time’ while still making him an integral part of the book. Ryker is a huge part of what makes Grace the woman she is, so he needed to be believable. I guess it helps when you can model the character after your own boys!

Sara: Speaking of family, you’ve had to deal with more than your fair share of health issues over the past year. How do you keep yourself writing when life insists on getting in the way? Do you think your approach to writing has changed as a result of what you’ve been through?

Cynthia: Dealing with cancer certainly has a way of shifting your priorities. Not only have I learned to put my family first (in an even bigger way than before), I’ve also realized that I don’t want to live life with regret for the things I haven’t done. Writing is a huge part of who I am. I’ve always loved it, but as I was going through chemo and missing the motivation to write, I realized that it also defines me.

For someone who is used to being the shy, “invisible” girl who keeps her thoughts and feelings to herself, writing has become the one place where I can let my true voice shine. One of the reasons I decided to go Indie was because I wanted to have the opportunity to share my stories with others. Having cancer has taught me to stop sitting on my dreams and start making them happen.

Sara: This is your first release – congratulations! Do you have any suggestions to fellow writers out there about how to approach a debut like this?

Cynthia: Honestly, I’m still feeling my way! Remember that shy, invisible girl thing? Well, I’m learning how to step outside my comfort zone and promote myself—which is so hard for me! However, if I can give any advice it would be that promotion is more about networking and building up relationships than standing on a street corner screaming “buy my book” all day long. For someone who is used to fading into the background, it can be difficult to put yourself out there. But, I think the rewards far outweigh the risk. I also believe it’s important to think outside the box and come up with creative ways to spread the word about your book. ((Says the girl who is still shaking in her boots when it comes to promo opportunities! LOL.))

Sara: So what are you working on now? I see from your Amazon page that I will get Cam’s story next (yay!), and that you have several other books in the works. Do you have a timeline for your upcoming releases? Do you plan to stay with this Special Ops world or explore other areas of the suspense world?

Cynthia: Ooh, don’t get my started on Cam! :) He was originally intended to be a “throw-away” character in Her Own Best Enemy, just someone to have Keith’s back without really being well defined. But Cam had other ideas, leaping onto the page with his cocky attitude and quirky humor (and believe me, I’m not funny. So I have no idea where it came from). I knew I had to write his story. INTRUSION, my Golden Heart finaling entry, was the result. I’m looking at a September 2011 release date for Cam’s book.

I also have a book with a covert CIA operative hero. THE CELL has a special place in my heart, and I will forever refer to it as my ‘cancer book’. I didn’t know when I started writing it that I had cancer. I finished the book shortly after my diagnosis and only than did I realize that the theme of living life to the fullest would so closely mirror what I was dealing with. It’s a very dark, edgy book, different from anything I’ve ever written, but I’m hoping it will find its home someday.

I plan to keep on writing Spec Ops heroes. I love exploring that combination of strength and honor. And ever since I saw the movie The Guardian, with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher, I’ve been fascinated by the Coast Guard, so I’d also love to do a Coast Guard series sometime in the near future. Right now I’m working on a contemporary YA book as well as plotting my next romantic suspense.

    Congrats on the release of Her Own Best Enemy, Cynthia! I so envy you for being able to get deep in the male POV. For a shy gal, it looks like you’re doing just fine on the promo trail. I hope you’re having fun with it.

    Sara, loved your interview and your thoughts on the story. I hope the restraining order’s been lifted — tee-hee! No need to enter me in the draw as I just downloaded Cynthia’s book. Can’t wait to read it!

      Thank you for stopping by, Katrina! I’m on Arizona time, so I’m finally getting my butt on the computer.

      I’ve heard from other cancer survivors who talk about the fact that cancer changed their lives in a good way because it made them look at life differently. While I would’ve been much happier to never have this disease, it does make me appreciate the simple things in life a lot more and makes me realize that happiness isn’t always measured the way I used to think it was.

      I’m jealous that you guys love writing the male POV – or rather, I should say that I love writing the male POV, but I’m not sure that it’s my forte. My heroes use a lot of words and not very many grunts ;)

      Thanks, Laurie! I need to update my website links…I know I’m missing a lot of Rubies–need to go track down their links ((putting that on my to-do list!))

      I think one of the things I love about the male POV is that I can be short and ruthless and all the other things that I’m not in real life. I love the freedom of letting my hero’s just be whoever they want to be.

      It just occured to me right now that I’ve only written the male POV once, in a short story. Crazy, huh? (The first half of the story was 1st person POV from the heroine’s perspective, and the second half was 3rd person POV from the hero’s perspective.)

      Of course, I almost exclusively write in 1st person, so I guess that’s not surprising.

        I’m trying first person POV for the first time with my YA. I never thought I’d like it, but I do. It’s actually really helped me find my heroine’s voice…I still can’t help feeling like I’ve been lured to the dark side. ;)

        I’ve only written 3rd person, so I’ve done the hero/heroine POVs – but I’m eager to try 1st person. I think it’s more accepted in YA/paranormal/urban fantasy/women’s fiction than it is in historical – but luckily I have an idea for a YA paranormal, so hopefully I’ll get my chance :)

    It sounds really cool, Cynthia. When I first started writing, I wanted to write romantic suspense. I even put that on my business calling card, but when I started trying to write it, well, I floundered. Everything sounded contrived, so I took the three chapters I wrote and hid them forever.

    But…I’ve brought them out again because idea for the first book in my Bayou Boys series came from that intial try at suspense. So, I’m scared silly, but trying it again. And I must succeed because I’m under contract. Gulp.

    So thanks for admitting the same – makes me feel better. And I can’t wait to read this. The hero sounds yummy-yum and I love a story about a protective mother who’ll do anything.

    Congrats on the release…you’re on your way!

      Good luck with the Bayou Boys, Liz! Suspense also freaks me out from a writing standpoint (even though I enjoy reading it). But, the next Regency project I’m planning has some suspense elements to it – I’ve steered clear of murderers and shady people in my first two manuscripts, but there’s a murder plot in this one. Of course, a few murders does not a suspense make, and I don’t have to deal with the intricacies of modern weaponry – but I still admire anyone who can do suspense well.

      And Cynthia definitely can – her hero is to die for, and the action scenes are awesome.

        I totally agree. Cynthia’s going to be a forced to be reckoned with in the Romantic Suspense world, I predict it now.

        I critiqued the first 50 pages of this book for her as part of a 3-way critique swap that she, Jeannie Lin, and I did a couple of weeks before entering the Golden Heart. I loved, loved, loved this story. I can’t even begin to tell you how much. So I was shocked, SHOCKED, to learn that it hadn’t finaled. (But of course, the one Jeannie read did. And strangely enough, out of the two books I entered, the one Cynthia read for me did not final, but the one Jeannie read did. In other words, have Jeannie critique for you! Ha!)

        I’ve been a huge Keith King fan ever since so when she said she was going to publish this book, I was thrilled!

          Yes! Jeannie must have the magic touch! :) I was just happy that one of my books finaled, but I was surprised that it wasn’t Her Own Best Enemy. I had convinced myself it had the better chance, which just goes to show that the GH really is a roll-the-dice kind of contest.

      Wow! I never knew you’d tried your hand at romantic suspense! I always struggled with writing contemporary romance because I couldn’t pin down concrete enough goals for my characters. With suspense, the concrete goals are almost always built into the story (find the child, clear your name, escape the bad guys), so I just find them so much easier to plot.

      I have complete faith that you’ll nail the suspense element in your new series! Can’t wait to read them! :)

You’ve got great talent to accomplish this, and a pioneering spirit to dive into indie publishing. I can’t wait to read Her Own Best Enemy. Best of luck with your stories.

      I’ll admit, if you promise not to tell anyone, that I’m way too shy to ever get into restraining-order-land. I’m not shy at all with people I know – but even my constantly-brainstorming writer’s brain can’t think of a single scenario in which I could walk into a store and do something so egregious that I’d end up getting charges pressed. My heroines could do it, but it’s unlikely you’ll see my face on America’s Next Top Wanted!

      Thank you, Kate! I don’t know why I find romantic suspense so much easier to do than just about any other genre. Maybe it’s because I thrive on writing action scenes and shudder at having to write big internal passages. I can write a kick butt scene where characters are running for their lives, but put them in a room with nothing to do but think, and I go crazy. :)

    I love, love, love this title, and the gorgeous cover–there’s a lot of emotion (as well as heat) in that embrace! I’ve already got it on my Kindle!!!

    Good luck to you, Cynthia, with everything!!!!!!
