First, let me thank the lovely RJ Scott for
giving me the opportunity to talk to you all. She’s graciously given over the
mic so that that I can tell you a little about me as well as what kind of
stories I write. For that she deserves cookies. And lots of chocolate.

So let’s get to it!
I guess I should start with a short introduction.
I stumbled upon M/M romance about four years ago. I was stuck in a rut after
burning out on work and graduate school, so I turned to reading romance. As one
does. Okay, let me back up and say I had already written a couple M/F romances,
but couldn’t get motivated to take it further than the first draft. And
honestly, I wasn’t sure where to turn for help in such a massive community. I
mean, I had taken classes and studied my craft, yet something wasn’t clicking
and I didn’t have the confidence to put myself out there.

Anyway, M/M romance blew my ever-loving mind.
And after reading Charlie Cochet’s, The
Auspicious Troubles of Chance, I knew THESE were the types of stories I
wanted to write. I found the courage to email Charlie for advice. Guys, she is
absolutely amazing! Indeed, the whole M/M romance community is wildly
supportive, but I’ll always credit Charlie for inspiring me to pursue my dreams
of writing romance full-time. With her kind words, a lot of sweat and tears,
and the belief that I could really DO this, I submitted a short story to a
publisher. And it was accepted! The rest is history, which is what I ended up
getting my graduate degree in – btw 😛 Since then I’ve published a total of seven
short stories and novellas.

I’m also excited to announce that I’ve been
contracted with Dreamspinner Press for a novella in their
contracted with Dreamspinner Press for a novella in their
States of Love
series. My story, which takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana (I know, how
awesome is that, right?) will release at the beginning of 2017. It’s a mystery
with gothic elements and hot haunted tour guides. I so enjoyed writing in that
world, and if Dreamspinner approves, I hope to continue with a few spin-offs
involving the characters I’ve come to love. For your reference, here is my
inspiration for Finn Murphy (one of those hot haunted tour guides). You’re
welcome J
And speaking of exciting news, anyone else
totally psyched for GRL?? I sure am! It’ll be my third time attending, but my
first as a supporting author. Yikes! It’s wild to think that I’ll be sitting at
the tables where I’ve met many of my favorite authors in person! I’m still a
bit overwhelmed by it. However, I plan to have a blast and bring my A-game.
Also, I’ll be giving away printed copies of that very first short story I
mentioned above, revamped and freshened up with a new cover. Please come by
pick one up and say hello!

Hunter lost a bet at a blackjack table and begrudgingly traded
temperate Southern California for the sweltering heat of Las Vegas. There she
resides with an extremely tolerant boyfriend and two cats named after her
favorite beverage, Latte and Java. When she’s not dreaming of returning to
coastal living, Hunter works at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, from where
she recently received her Master’s in British history. In order to appease her
muse, she writes the kind of fiction that keeps her sane. She adores romance in
all forms, but prefers her stories with two heroes that find their happily-ever-afters
with each other. You can find her books or reach out to her via her
website: www.hunterfrost.net
