Welcome Kryssie Fortune to Five on Friday. Get to know her by the five questions she chose to answer. Be sure and check out Kryssie’s books and follow her on social media. And…always review the books you read!
What are the top three things on your bucket list? And why?
1. Visit Split in Croatia. I love that the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s palace is not only still standing but is in daily use. I’d love to sit back and chill in such ancient surroundings.
2. See the Northern Lights. We tried for my birthday last year, but they turned shy and hid behind clouds. It was still one of the best nights of my life. We’d gone to an observatory to try to see them, and when it didn’t happen, they brought out their space rock samples. I touched the moon. For a girl who remembers the buzz of the moon landings, that meant the world.
3. Visit Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, England. I’d love to see their Viking Treasures and learn more of their history.
Ann: I’m always amazed at some of the things writers have on their bucket lists! Mine is boring compared to yours!
Do you have a secret? Something you’ve never told anyone…just answer yes or no.
Yes
Ann: I don’t think I’ve ever found anyone who doesn’t have a secret they’ve never told!!
Do you read horoscopes?
Yes. My favorite one told me I’d be abducted by aliens on my birthday. Didn’t happen, at least I don’t remember if it did.
Ann: I bet it did, Kryssie. They have ways of erasing your memory…you know.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I love to travel, but two years ago we upped sticks and retired to the Yorkshire Coast. It was the best thing we ever did. I get to walk on the beach every day. The old song had it right.
It’s very nice to go trav’ling
To Paris, London and Rome
It’s oh so nice to go trav’ling,
But it’s oh so much nicer to come home.
Ann: Home is my favorite place to be.
If there was one person, real, fiction or fantasy, you could spend time with, who would it be and why?
I thought hard about this. Back in my childhood I was a real DC girl. Superman and Batman were fine, but Aquaman and Saturn Girl still hold a place in my heart. Back then, Saturn Girl could speak, so she’d be fun to chat with about the things she’d seen in space, while Aquaman could tell me about the Ocean’s deepest reaches. Choosing two is greedy, I know, but I’d take either.
Ann: Kryssie, you have one of the most interesting answers to this question I’ve gotten!

Excerpt
“How dare you embarrass me like that?” Harriet Mortlake planted her hands on her hips and glowered at the man she’d cornered outside the café. Her normal iceberg cool deserted her, and she wanted to slap the condescending smile off his face. Around this stranger, she felt as though lightning bolts flashed from her eyes.
“It’s a temple, not a chapel,” he insisted.
Stubborn. Damn. Male. She’d been showing the big guns from the Castles’ Management Trust around the building. They’d already made it clear they thought her too young for the archivist’s role. This know-it-all had infuriated her when he sounded off in the chapel. Now he antagonized her all over again.
“As if!” Harriet snorted. “No way would medieval Christians build a pagan temple on their grounds. Superstitious locals would have accused them of devil worship. They burned heretics at the stake, remember?”
Despite Mr. Condescending’s interference, she’d impressed the big bosses—she thought. Now the sexiest male, ever, clung to his ridiculous belief the chapel had been a pagan temple.
He flashed her a smile which would have lit up the underground chapel where he’d embarrassed her earlier. He should keep his mouth shut and let her admire his looks. Everything about him radiated sex appeal. Looking at him almost made her anger evaporate, but he gave her the know-it-all look that made her bristle.
“You need to get your facts right,” he told her, determined to have the last word.
Stupid, arrogant male. She couldn’t decide whether to show him her diplomas and degrees or kick his shins. She’d reined in her temper while the higher-ups carried out their inspection. Now they’d left, she felt free to vent her rage. Hands still on her hips, she tapped her foot at him.
“Lost for words without an audience? Or don’t you have any facts to back up your cock-and-bull story? Put up or shut up, Mister. Tell me why you think it’s a temple.”
Mr. Condescending sat outside the castle’s tearoom as if he hadn’t a care in the world. His interference when she’d shown the bigwigs into the chapel could have cost her the job she loved. Whitborough Castle’s extensive records needed cataloging, and Harriet couldn’t wait to get her hands on them.
Kryssie Fortune writes the sort of hot sexy books she loves to read. If she can sneak a dragon into her paranormal books she will. Her paranormal heroes are muscular werewolves, arrogant Fae or BDSM loving dragons.
Kryssie likes her contemporary heroes ex-military and dominant. Her heroines are kick ass females who can hold their own against whatever life – or Kryssie – throws at them.
Kryssie’s pet hates are unhappy endings, and a series that end on a cliff hanger. Her books are all stand alone even when part of series. Plot always comes before sex, but when her heroines and heroes get together, the sex is explosive and explicit. One review called it downright sensual.
