First, here's my interview with Tina!
Passionate. Supportive. Reliable.
Cast
your book. Tell us who would play the main characters in a movie and why.
This is tough. I’ve tried doing this before, but no real person matches
the image I have in my head. So here are the closest matches:
For Garrett it would have to be a mixture of Chris Hemsworth (have you
seen him without his shirt?!) and Daniel Craig (he has that edge I imagine
Garrett has)
For Clara it would be a mixture of Alexandra Daddario (she matches
Clara’s description and she was pretty kick-ass in the Percy Jackson movies)
and Cate Blanchett (she has this elegance and confidence Clara has).

What’s
your favorite love scene from a movie?
I may be evicted from the League of Romance Writers, but I’m not a big
fan of romantic movies. I prefer action movies. Something is blown up or evil
is being eviscerated by a sword and I’m in. Action movies also have all the
best one-liners. Here is one of my favourite scenes:
4 What’s
your wildest fantasy?
I’ve always wondered about the possibility of discovery. What would it
feel like to have wild, passionate sex beside a crowd of people? Any moment it
someone could come around the corner and see us…
If
you were to lose one of your senses, which would you rather lose and why?
That’s a difficult question. After thinking about it for a bit I think
I’d go with my sense of hearing. I can’t imagine not being able to see. I love
art and the beauty of nature. Hiking in the wilderness. I like listening to
music, but it doesn’t fill me with the same sense of awe as the visual world
does. I think I could adapt to not being able to hear.
And now for the quickies--fast, loose and dirty!
Boxers or
Briefs? Boxers
Pajamas or
nude? Pajamas
Hairy
chests or smooth? A sprinkling of hair.
Alpha or
Beta? Alpha.
Now for a little bit about From Prussia With Love ~
From Prussia With Love
by Tina Christopher
Clara
Redbeck has one goal: to prove to the sods at work—and to herself—that the best
man for the job can be a woman. To do that, she must prevent a traitor from
blowing London to bits. If only the dashing first mate of the dirigible she’d
been tasked to plunder didn’t set her aflame.
Garrett Dewhurst has one goal: to execute the coup of a lifetime. His plans do not include a spanking dalliance with the most intriguing woman he has ever met.
With each encounter, the fire between them burns hotter and their need grows stronger. Finally, the cramped cabin aboard the Bismarck becomes their intimate playground, where Garrett introduces Clara to the pleasure of submission and they explore their passion in every way possible.
Clara and Garrett want a future together, but each holds a secret that if revealed could cost them everything. When danger closes in, they have to choose between protecting themselves or the whole of London.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now for an Excerpt:
Garrett tugged on her hand when she wanted to hurry on and
slowed her to a normal walk. “We’re nearly there, love. No need to rush now.”
She looked at him and groaned. “You have got to be kidding,
Garrett! You can’t seriously want to go slow?”
He didn’t, not really, but he hovered too close to the edge
and needed to find control. And he loved playing with her. He smiled and knew
the result was not charming or nice. “You did say the last time that going slow
had some advantages.” He offered her his arm. “And we’d be a little obvious if
we hurried through the streets like our clothes were on fire.”
Clara took his arm but grumbled. She was cute when she
pouted. He was wise enough not to mention that to her. She did carry a gun and
was a little unpredictable in her current state.
For the next ten minutes, they walked, a touch slower than
absolutely necessary, and with each step the tension between them thickened. They
exchanged no words. Instead he imagined everything he wanted to do to her,
thankful his long coat disguised his response.
A couple of times they had to step around street-cleans.
With their flat metal bodies and numerous appendages, they were perfect for
cleaning up the city.
Clara skirted one with a grimace. “They always remind me of
spiders. Any moment I expect them to turn on me, wrap me in their web, and drag
me back to their lair.”
Garrett swallowed his smile and paused beside one that
barely reached his ankle. “Yes, I completely understand.” He tapped it with his
toe. “We should install surveillance across the city to ensure our citizens are
safe.”

About the Author:
Tina Christopher spent her early
years flitting across the Channel between Germany and
England. After touring
the world extensively—from hanging out with elephants in South Africa to hiking
through the wilderness in Alaska—she finally laid down roots in Toronto.
Although Canada’s winters may be frigid, Tina’s characters are anything but!
Like most writers, Tina often hears voices in
her head, but it took the encouragement of an editor friend to have her
actually put fingers to keyboard. While those first stories will never see the
light of day, she’s subsequently honed her craft and learned to build not just
worlds, but entire galaxies. History has always been an area of interest for
her, and she’s enjoys few things more than imagining what could happen when
history and future meet.
When not imagining far-away worlds and
scorching-hot encounters, Tina can be found on her sofa working through her
never-ending TBR pile or venturing into the real world—whether to a nearby cafĂ©
or a passport-required destination. She’s a member of the Romance Writers of
America Toronto chapter and looks forward to where her characters take her
next!
