Today my BUZZ GUEST is Yvonne Rediger. Yvonne has a new book out called DIVING IN HEART FIRST available June 3rd, 2017. You may remember her from her interview in April 2016 when we featured her #fantasy books THE SHAPE OF US, and HELL CAT.  Here they are for you to take a gander at. THE SHAPE OF US: Who knew there were SHAPESHIFTERS on Vancouver Island? VIC SHAPESHIFTERS BOOK 1  HELL CAT: Nominated for the 2016 Ethel Wilson Award for Fiction VIC SHAPESHIFTERS  Yvonne also has two shorts in the VIC SHAPESHIFTER series. MISS AGNES AND THE GARRY OAKS: Who is the busiest body in the Cowichan Valley? VIC SHAPESHIFTERS  WOLF OF CROFTON LAKE: Is it an ancient legendary predator, or some new evil lurking in the wood? VIC SHAPESHIFTERS - short read  Yvonne's latest book is called DIVING IN HEART FIRST.  Available June 3rd, 2017. Here's the Blurb! After several weeks of being investigated for possible involvement in stock manipulation crimes, Maddie Windsor is getting on with her life by taking a vacation on the island of Utila, the scuba diver’s Mecca. She is determined to achieve one of her fondest wishes, to pass her PADI scuba diving basic level. It's daunting to tackle her first trip outside of North America, let alone navigating Honduras by herself and arriving at the Utila Dive Lodge, luggage intact. So it's a good thing Maddie’s protective Dive Master in Vancouver, knows a guy. Deke Ellis is that guy and is also bound for the dive lodge. Except Deke was already volun-told to track Maddie by his boss, as a favour for the RCMP. Seven million is missing and so is Alan Greenway, Maddie's ex-boyfriend. If Alan shows his face in Utila, Deke has to stay focused, even if he finds Maddie unbelievably tempting. Yvonne has taken the time to answer some ‘normal’ questions and ‘not so normal’ questions for us today. ‘Normal’ Question Spot 1. What is the name of your new book? "Diving in Heart First" 2. What is it about? After several weeks of being investigated for possible involvement in stock manipulation crimes, Maddie Windsor is getting on with her life by taking a vacation on the island of Utila, the scuba divers Mecca. She is determined to achieve one of her fondest wishes, to pass her PADI scuba diving basic level. It's daunting to tackle her first trip outside of North America, let alone navigating Honduras by herself and arriving in Utila, luggage intact. So it's a good thing Maddie’s protective Dive Master, Chris, in Vancouver "knows a guy", Deke Ellis, who is also bound for Utila. Except Deke was already volun-told to track Maddie by his boss, as a favour for the RCMP. Seven million is missing and so is Alan Greenway, Maddie's ex-boyfriend. If Alan shows his face in Utila, Deke has to stay focused, even if he finds Maddie unbelievably tempting. 3. What was your inspiration for this book? We were on a scuba diving vacation at the Utila Dive Lodge and I got to thinking about writing a romance located on the island. So many things that happen in the novel, happened to us or travel companions. Even the crocodile. 4. What is the crossover between this book and your VIC books? The hero, Deke Ellis, works for the same covert agency, Security and Protection Services, SPS, as Helly Cooper and Will Conall from Hell Cat. It is also mentioned that Deke knows Will.There is also a small cross over from this novel to "Trusting the Wolf", book 3 of the VIC Shapeshifter series, out this summer. The heroine, Maddie Windsor's brother Matt has a small part in that novel and the upcoming book 4. ‘Not so normal’ Question Spot 1. If you could invite any 5 people (i.e. cartoon character; famous person; rock band; poet; artist; living or dead) for a meal together, who would they be? Jamie Oliver, he's cooking! Author Tanya Huff, Leslie my daughter, Tammy daughter-in-law, Jann Arden. 2. You’ve been bitten by a werewolf the month before. It’s the full moon and tonight’s the night of your first change. How do you prepare for this? What color is your fur? I arrange to be out in the woods or the bush for my first change. I want a Mage with me, just in case to tap into creation magic if it's necessary, and when I change under the glow of the new moon, my pelt it cinnamon with slashes of beige, excellent camouflage. 3. Are you a lone wolf or part of the pack? Pack is everything, we all need to belong to something larger than ourselves. 4. You have a mystery to solve. What magical creatures or persons are on your team? A witch, a mage, a shaman, a selkie and a dragon. Earth, wind, fire, and water are covered, and magic. Wow! A crocodile? Yikes! I love how your romance novel has a crossover to your urban fantasy series. That makes it all the more fun.
