Great interview!
I think Enclaved is her first book. But I was wrong. She has written so many books. Great.
I wish I can have one of them
Oh man, I just ordered Shady Lady yesterday, so no entry for me. But I just want to say that Ann Aguirre is an awesome writer and I've enjoyed everything I've read so far, including the Sirantha Jax and Corinne Solomon series, which are awesome.
I am rather surprised that Ann list revisions as her favorite part of the writing process. I wonder why that is ?
Thanks for the giveaway.

Thanks for the great and fun to read interview! I was a bit shocked that Ann loves revising ... I absolutely hate it!! Well, to each their own ;-) !
Yes, Rose Tyler. She's awesome and does have a pretty good happily ever after. And you said your fave show was Fringe which is awesome.
Great Interview.I've just bought Skin Game for an easter read,didn't know you wrote under multiple names!

I love Fringe too- I always get a little panicky when they go on hiatus. And I have to state for the record Sirantha Jax is my #1 fictional character I'd love to hang out with in real life.
I just started with her Skin series and I love those books!!! can't put them down and now I can't wait to read her other series too!
greetings, Ina
Never heard of her, but now I have, I'm immediately adding her non-romance novels to my wishlist, they seem awesome!
There are just too many great writers for me to keep track off, let alone read 'em all. =D
Hi Ann and Larissa :)
I'm enjoy the interview. I know about Ann Aguire's Sirantha Jax and her other series under Ava Gray name, Skin series. My friends love this one, and she recommend it to me. Just need a time to read it :)
Congrats for the release of your new book "Enclave" and "Shady Lady".. I'd watching Enclave's trailer and love it :D
Thanks for the giveaway :)

Wow 8 is a very young age!
Nice interview :D
I am so hopelessly behind on all her books. She is just writing too many good ones ;)
Great interview! I just finished Enclave and loved it, so I bought Blue Diablo the same day and I'm going to start it soon.
So many more to add tho the TBR pile now! They all look so good!
Awesome interview! It's interesting how she can write is so many different genres.
I can't believe how many books there are out there that I've never heard of before. Here's another chance to read another author.
I loved the interview! So many great books for my to-read list! :)
Thanks for the international giveaway!
Awesome interview, thanks so much for the giveaway opportunity.

Awesome interview! I love Ann Aguirre's books

Ohh I love this series. :) Wow 8 is very early to start writing and then stick to it. I recall writing a book around that age for a school project and obviously never followed on from that. :)
Have the greatest admiration for people that do.
Great giveaway

I love the Corinne Solomon series, now that I know Ann writes under other names, I'll have to check out the others.
Thanks for posting this wonderful interview!
I've heard great things about Ann's writing and have been wanting to try her books. I just picked up Blue Diablo, so I'd love to win Shady Lady.

When I asked for good books for introducing me to sci-fi everyone kept recommending Ann's Sirantha JAx series, so now they are the top of my wishlist. And I couldn't resists Ann's UF series and have Blue Diablo on top of my TBR pile :-)
Thank you for the great giveaway and Happy Easter! :-)
