Describe The Vampire Next Door in three words.

Outstandingly fun romance (from a 4 ½ star review in RT Book Reviews!)

Out of all the books you’ve published, which two characters are your favorite?

Maura and Adrian from Vampire Vintage or Randy and Sky from Being Randy.

Of the 17 different places you have lived, which were your most favorite? Least favorite?

Where I live right now in New Hampshire is my favorite. Least favorite is Colorado, but probably because my life there was unhappy.

If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play the role of you? Why?

Meg Ryan—Who doesn’t love Meg Ryan? I recognize myself in a lot of her characters.

Which books are in your Summer reading pile?

I have a bunch of ebooks downloaded onto my Nook. I’m hoping to read a few of my fellow Sourcebooks authors books. A few Secrets anthologies and some paperbacks from Ellora’s Cave will go into the hot tub with me.

Can you tell us a bit about what’s coming up next from you? Can you share any teasers?

I have a novella called Immortally Yours and a new series Flirting with Fangs just contracted with Ellora’s Cave. I’m also working on a new series proposal for my agent. I have yet to come up with a name for it, but it takes place in a Boston bar, and we’re referring to it as the paranormal Cheers.


THE VAMPIRE NEXT DOOR BY ASHLYN CHASE – IN STORES AUGUST 2011

Room for Rent: Normal need not apply

This old Boston brownstone is not known for quiet living… first the shapeshifter meets his nurse, then the werewolf falls for his sassy lawyer, but now the vampire is looking for love with a witch who’s afraid of the dark… and you thought your neighbors had issues!

Undead Sly is content playing vigilante vampire, keeping the neighborhood safe from human criminals, until Morgaine moves in upstairs. Suddenly he finds himself weak with desire, which isn’t a good place for a vampire to be. And Morgaine isn’t exactly without her own issues—will the two of them be able to get past their deepest fears before their chance at “normal” slips away?
