Interview
Tell us a little about yourself and your latest/upcoming release.
I am Alexandrea Weis
a writer of romance, thrillers, YA, historical, and paranormal stories. I was
born and raised in New Orleans and most of my books take place in my hometown
or have pieces of The Big Easy woven into the storyline. The Secret Brokers is
a thriller series that grew from my romantic thriller Nicci Beauvoir Series. It’s about a man finding his way back from heartache. After falling hard
for a woman who loved another, Dallas August returns to his dark world of selling
secrets, figuring that’s all he knows how to do. Eventually, he learns to come
to terms with who he is and what he does.
Do you read
reviews of your books?
What
do you do when you read a not-so-nice one? I read most reviews, good and bad.
All reviews are helpful, you remember them when you write your next work and
try not to repeat mistakes brought up by reviewers. But you must also write for
yourself and not the reviewers. It’s a tightrope, but one all writers must
traverse.
What was
your inspiration for the book?
The Nicci Beauvoir series was the inspiration. It consists
of To My Senses, Recovery, and Sacrifice and introduces the reader to the
character of Dallas August. I loved writing about him, and his secretive
lifestyle so much, I wanted to start him in spin-off series. That is how The
Secret Brokers was born.
What are
you working on now?
I’m putting to bed my
next novel which is a Christmas release called The Christmas Tree. It’s a
paranormal love story. And I am also juggling my February 2021 release that is
the next book in the St. Benedict Series, A River of Secrets which follows up
after the disturbing events of Death by The River.
What do you
need to set the mood for you to write?
Nothing. All I need is my computer and
I write. I spend eight to ten hours a day writing, so it has become part of my
lifestyle.
How many
pen names do you have?
None.
Everything I write is under Alexandrea Weis.
How did you
come up with your character’s name?
Dallas was named after my cousin and someone
I admire for his cool wit and charm. August sounded powerful and like a man to
be reckoned with.
