Summary: When Monique finds out her brother, Kieran, is planning her future with the one fairy she wants nothing to do with, she seeks refuge in the human world. Now Kieran fears she will be the next victim in a string of murdered fairies and is determined to bring her home.
Hiding should be a breeze. She can control any human with a
flirtatious smile and an attraction spell. Until she meets Daniel Elliot, the
only human who's immune to both.
A year ago, Daniel's fiancée disappeared with the engagement ring,
an Elliot family heirloom. He's ready to move forward with his life, but his
mother's obsession with retrieving the ring makes that impossible. Then Monique
walks into his office to apply for a job.
Daniel and Monique can't deny their attraction, but will the
reason he's Fairyproof be too much to overcome?
And today I have a special Author Interview with Constance Phillips. Keep reading below to enter the giveaway!
1. Tell us about Fairyproof in 140 characters or less.
Fairy and Human must overcome two
worlds of differences if they are to have a chance at love and happiness.
2. Who should read your book?
Of course, I want to say everyone.
(Ha!) But I think it will appeal to those who want a fast-read, like romance,
and enjoy some paranormal lightly sprinkled in.
3. Why fairies?
I built this story around the characters
and their core conflict. The idea of a heroine who is used to being able to get
what she wants and a hero who’s completely immune to her special abilities. The old lore of fairies have an undeniable
magnetism seemed to work well with the premise.
4. Who did your cover
art? What was that process like?
The cover art was done by Taria A.
Reed. The publisher hired her. I filled
out one of the standard cover-art sheet that asks for input. She took the
premise behind the book and what little bit I gave her on the sheet and
designed something beautiful and fitting.
5. What goes through your mind when reading reviews
(positive or negative) of Fairyproof?
So far, I’ve been lucky enough to
only see positive reviews. I know that the book will not appeal to everyone,
and eventually someone will have some criticism, but, for the time being, I’m
enjoying the positive. When I wrote the book, I just hoped that it would
someday be read. Now that it’s happening, it’s all very surreal.6. Are any of your characters based on someone you know?
The short answer is no. Not one single character is based on one single person I know. However, I’m very much a people watcher. Many of the characters probably have bits and pieces of people I know, or people I’ve observed over the years.
7. Who is your
favorite character in the book and how would you spend a day together?
At the time I was writing Fairyproof, it would have been a tossup
between Daniel and Monique. They both have their individual strengths and their
problems to overcome. A picnic in the park, (like in the book) would be a great
way to spend the day.
8. What superpower
would you like to have and why?
Flying, I think. It would be
incredibly freeing to be able to soar through the air!
9. Finish this
sentence: I wish I had written….
(This question is so not fair! How
can I pick one?) Almost anything Sherrilyn Kenyon did or JR Ward. Flipping away
from romance… The Lovely Bones, The Kite Runner…
10. What’s up next?
Crescent Moon Press has contracted
a second book, not related to Fairyproof,
from me. It’s called Resurrecting Harry
and I imagine it will be out next year.
In the meantime I’m writing a book that would be a follow up to Fairyproof and working on editing a
couple of contemporary manuscripts. Wow! You sound super busy! Thanks for taking the time to stop by today. If you'd like to connect with Constance, you can find her at:

Bio:
Constance Phillips lives in Ohio
with her husband, two ready-to-leave-the-nest children, and four canine kids.
Her perfect fantasy vacation would involve hunting Dracula across Europe with
her daughter, who also digs that kind of stuff. When she's not writing about
fairies, shifters, vamps, and guardian angels, she's working side-by-side with
her husband in their hardwood flooring business.
Constance is actively involved in
her local Romance Writers of America chapter (MVRWA) and the Southeast Michigan
chapter of the United States Pony Club. When not writing or enjoying the
outdoors, she loves reality television or can be found at a Rick Springfield
concert (just look for the pink Converse high tops).
