The fabulous author, Tena Stetler, had the rare opportunity to interview Nick Cramer, hunky hero of Casi’s Lake Lanier Mysteries book two, Beyond The Mist, and the exciting and beautiful heroine, Piper Taylor. Want to know more about him and his incredible time slip? Stay calm and read on!

Good morning Nick and Piper. I’m so glad we could arrange this get-together. You’ve been quite busy lately. But our readers are anxious to know about the real you, so pardon me if we get a little intimate today. Let’s begin with Nick.

What event in your past has left the most indelible impression on you?

If I told you that, I might…

ruin the story for a lot of people. I will say a glimpse into the past of your future is priceless.

What do you most value?

Definitely my family and friends, especially a certain blonde who completely stole my heart.

What is the type of woman you want to spend the rest of your life with?

The perfect woman for me is one who brings out the best in me.

What do you consider most important in life?

I used to think my law career was the most important mark I could make on the world. But now I’d say relationships…it’s the people not the places or things that make life worth living.

What is your biggest secret?

Telling you would defeat the purpose of a secret now, wouldn’t it? I’ll just say murdering someone can really mess with a guy’s head.

Piper, who were the biggest role models in your life?

Lacey Montgomery. We grew up together and she’s like a sister to me. But I’d have to include her husband, Rob and my Aunt Alice.

What kind of man do you want to spend the rest of your life with?

My knight in shining armor is a man who loves me for me, someone who gets me, respects me and has my back no matter what. Of course if he’s hot, sexy and can curl my toes with a kiss, I wouldn’t mind at all.

What kind of man would you never choose?

As far as I’m concerned, a man who is all about himself, his needs, his wants, his desires…he’s not for me. I put my man first and I want a man who does the same for me.

What is most important to you in life?

My parents died when I was little and I Aunt Alice raised me. Lacey’s family became mine when my aunt died and I can’t imagine anything more important than my family.

What is your biggest fear?

After popping in and out of time and seeing up front and personal the horror of the September 11, 2001 tragedy in New York, my fear is our world could self-destruct if people blindly live their lives in ignorance. People need to wake up and unite against terror lurking in the shadows.

Casi, tell us a little about writing this story.

Beyond The Mist took shape as a sequel to Beneath The Lake in my Lake Lanier Mysteries. The eerie lore attached to the ghost town that sleeps beneath the surface of Lake Lanier fascinates me. And creating a time portal hidden in Reynolds Cove bubbled so many stories to the surface, I could write for years and still have fodder. That said, my own passion about the 9/11 tragedy, how the details are already slipping into silent corners of history books, coupled with a real and present danger facing the world, I felt compelled to share this story.

Was it fun or difficult?

I read and researched so much to make sure my facts were accurate, but watching live videos and History Channel documentaries for days on end ripped through me like nothing I’ve written about before. That was extremely difficult!

Do your characters always act as you expect?

A better question might be does my writing describe my characters well. They truly have a mind of their own and nudge my muse endlessly to be heard.

Are you a plotter, or fly (write) by the seat of your pants?

I’m totally a panster. I can’t start a story until I know my characters…what they look like, who they are inside, their hopes and dreams as well as their baggage and not so pleasant qualities. They write my stories. I simply try to keep up.

Thanks, Casi, Piper and Nick, for sharing a tiny part of who you are with our readers.
