J.M. Krumbine is the author of the unique and wisecracking Alex Cheradon Series, the dead-soul hunting Grym Brothers Series as well as the tongue-in-cheek paranormal romance A Graveyard Romance.
Mr. Krumbine is currently promoting his latest book, a romantic suspense novel, titled Outlawed Love. Readers can learn more about him and his work by visiting his website, Facebook and Twitter.
Please tell us a bit about your book, Outlawed Love, and what you hope readers take away from reading it.
Outlawed Love is a pulse-pounding, heart-racing, thrill-a-minute, action adventure love story for both men and women! U.S. Marshal Kate Sharpe is responsible for transporting Kyle Archer from the courthouse to the jailhouse. The question of course is, can she do it with losing her life or her heart?
I hope that my readers walk away from Outlawed Love with that warm fuzzy feeling you get after watching a really good movie or reading really fun book. This is pop entertainment and the goal is to entertain!
Who are your favorite characters in the story?
Kate’s probably my favorite character in the book. As the lead and the heroine she gets to do all the cool stuff! Plus, she does all her own stunts.
Do you have a favorite line or excerpt from your book?
I’m really proud of the opening, which I think just reaches out and grabs you:
Now
Kaitlyn Sharpe was falling.
She dropped through the air like a lead weight. Her mother would have a field day with that.
The airplane above her was slowly shrinking in the distance as it remained at its cruising altitude of 45,000 feet.
The wind stung her eyes and her vision blurred as they began to water. The sound of air rushing past her was deafening. She tumbled through the clear blue sky, not a cloud in sight, the sun beating at her back.
Kate fell and she was not alone.
Between her arms was a man. A man who she was supposed to protect.
The irony did not escape her.
She could feel his muscular physique tense as they tumbled through the air. When was the last time she had been this close to a man? She couldn’t remember. Despite their peril, she couldn’t deny the electric exhilaration of being so close to such an attractive man.
On the plus side, at least she couldn’t smell him anymore. It wasn’t a cologne, she was sure of that. But whatever it was, he smelled good.
“I don’t mean to alarm you,” he shouted over the sound of the rushing air as he twisted in her grip. Even now his voice still had that smooth, inviting charm to it. It was the voice of an unflappable man. He couldn’t point, his hands were still cuffed, so he tried to nod over her shoulder, “but that last bullet tore up the parachute!”
Kate looked over her shoulder and sure enough, the parachute was trailing behind them limply. It flapped about uselessly, at the mercy of Mother Nature.
“Don’t worry!” she looked past the parachute at the black man who had jumped after them. His arms were pressed firmly to his sides as he angled himself like a human bullet. His face was set with a determined look. He had a job to do and he aimed to finish it. “I have a plan!”
If your current release were to be turned into a movie, who would you love to see play what characters and why?
