So a little bit about me - I am a mum of three beautiful, yet full on kiddies, and a wife to an
amazingly supportive husband. I live in a small town in North Queensland, Australia. I love spending time with my family, reading, writing and the occasional glass of wine.

I'm addicted to peanut MnM's and chocolate chip cookies, my husband is always threatening to hide them on me, LOL! I LOVE to hear from readers whether it be good or bad. Any feedback is appreciated and taken on board to better my writing.

Blurb

Never fall for a rockstar…

Julian Wheaton views the world through a kaleidoscope of synesthesia, seeing the colors
of every sound he hears. His life as an iconic rock guitarist was a stressful psychedelic trip that nearly destroyed him. Now he’s abandoned the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle for the peaceful sanctity of his recording studio, but when fiery Cleo Compton comes to work for him, she brings chaos with Cleo Compton has had her flings with rockstars—and it’s left her wary and bruised. Julian may have those sexy bedroom eyes and drool-worthy tattoos, but Cleo is determined to keep things strictly professional—until Julian turns out to be every dream she’s ever chased. When he risks it all to hit the road with a band again, Cleo fears he’ll return as the one thing she can no longer abide—a rockstar.

Steamy Excerpt
Her back was pressed up against the wall; there wasn’t even an inch to spare. Julian bent
and kissed her neck. People yelled at each other outside the bus, and voices hummed inside, as well.

“We don’t have any privacy.”

Julian kissed the sweet spot right behind her ear. “That’s true,” he whispered. “Anybody
could walk in.” The bus shook as things were loaded into the storage wells.

“Excuse me,” someone said, just outside the door. “Hey, has anybody seen Lazros?”

 Julian put his hand over Cleo’s mouth. “Shh…” He unbuckled his belt, and she heard his zipper go down.

“I’m in my bunk,” he said to the door. “What do you want?”

Oh, God. He was actually going to carry on a conversation with someone just a few steps
away while he…what would he do next?

His knee went between her legs, forcing them apart. Oh.

“Wayne wants to know if you’ll be keeping your Les Paul with you or if you want him to
take care of it.” The voice was so close. Right outside the door!

“I’ll keep it,” Julian answered. Then he slipped his fingers between her thighs, inside her
panties, and she closed her eyes and tried not to whimper. Julian’s voice was right at her ear.

“Oh, Cleo,” he whispered. “Somebody is a naughty girl.” She totally was.
He pulled his hand away and stepped back. Cleo thought she’d fall, but somehow her legs
held her up.

“Onto the bunk, baby,” Julian said softly. “Spread your legs.”

She looked over his shoulder at the small door. “What if someone tries to come in?” Her
pulse sped up.

Julian grinned. “They’ll hit my ass with the door.”

He gently pulled on her hand until she sat on the bunk. His fly was already open, and he was very ready to go. He pressed her shoulder until she leaned back. Keeping a nervous eye on the tiny, uninsulated door that led to the narrow corridor, Cleo pressed her knees tightly together. But only because she wanted to hear him beg. Or demand. Or anything, really.

“Uh-uh, little girl,” he said. “Spread those legs. And give me the knickers—they’re going
on tour.”

Carol and her husband, both diehard Red Hot Chili Peppers fans, raise their vegan brood of

Author Interview - Carol Pavliska #FosteranAuthor #Romance

AUTHOR INTERRVIEW -  CAROL PAVLISKY


Carol, tell us a bit about your family, background and your location.

I live on a cattle ranch in Texas, just south of San Antonio. It’s my husband’s family’s
land, and it’s been a great place to raise our five kids. San Antonio is a lovely city rich in culture and history, so it was only natural I’d use it as a setting for my novel, COLOR ME CRAZY. The hero, however, is a Texas transplant from England. Because there is nothing better than a British accent.

A British hero? That's hot. How did you meet your husband, Carol? Is there anything noteworthy about your meeting? And share with us what draws you to him?

Jeff is my high school crush. He proposed to me during my sophomore year of college
while we were backpacking in Big Bend National Park. Within a few years we were hiking trails with babies in backpacks! We still enjoy hiking and camping, and when we have vacation time coming up, we always pick a state or national park over a resort. In addition to being smart, funny, and a great dad, Jeff is also an excellent musician.

The hero in COLOR ME CRAZY is a guitarist, and several of the guitars mentioned in the story belong to my husband. We’re both huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fans, therefore, all five of our kids hate Red Hot Chili Peppers—which is a crying shame. Our oldest daughter is a classical pianist.

Okay, what is the story behind your book and how do you decide your book cover?

My novel is about Julian, a virtuoso guitarist (who was also a child prodigy
violinist) with a neurological condition called synesthesia. He sees colors as sounds, and
the inside of his head is a very busy place. He really doesn’t want to be a performer—not
even a little bit—and is happy to leave the spotlight behind for the peaceful sanctity of his
recording studio, where he much prefers making music. But when he falls in love with
Cleo, an out of work English professor who never quite got her groupie career off the
ground, he tries for a rock and roll comeback. It’s an epic disaster with both laughter and
tears, but eventually they rock their own happily ever after.

As for my cover—it looks like a magazine cover, doesn’t it? That’s because in the
novel, Julian appears on the cover of Rock ‘n’ Spin, the hugest publication in the music
and entertainment industry. A graphic artist on my street team made a teaser using the
magazine image, and when my publisher saw it they decided to use it as the book’s cover.
And I think the model is a pretty good fit!

Julian sounds like a rock star. Carol, have you ever experienced writer’s block and how did you tackle it?

Yes, of course. I experience block (and the self-doubt and misery that comes with
it) regularly. I tackle it by leaning on very accommodating friends with high tolerances
for whining and wallowing.

You have great friends. So what books are on your shelf at home and who are your favourite authors?

I read anything and everything if it holds my interest. In romance, I love Susan
Elizabeth Philips. I also love Diana Galbadon and I’m a huge Outlander fan. Outside of
romance, I adore Haruki Murakami, Muriel Barbery, Liane Moriarty, Dean Koontz…
The list goes on and on.

Yes, quite a list. What form of entertainment do you enjoy most and why, Carol?

Concerts, hanging out with friends, and movies. And honestly, I enjoy a really awful movie almost as much as a good one, but it has to be REALLY awful, and it’s even better if I’m with my daughter. Awful movies are kind of our thing.

Thank you for coming over here today, Carol. We wish you the very best always.
