Where do the ideas for your books come from?
The Impostor, A Love story began as my story. I had escaped an abusive relationship and went to Alaska to begin my life over again. While I was there a sick man took and interest in me and I had to escape the stalker. But then my muse created Dylan and my suspense became a love story. My muse is pretty sassy.  She is the one in charge. 
Have you ever co-written book/books? If so was it difficult? If not would you ever consider co-writing with another author?
I am working on a book called Out of the Shadows. It is a collective anthology about women who have broken away from the cycle of abuse and are starting their life over. It is a project I began because of something I had gone through and have found so many women share the same pain. I am hoping we will be able to at least help on woman realize that there is life after abuse. If any of your readers would like to be part of the book they should PM me and email me at tiffanycarmouche@ymail.com They can write a poem, describe what they went through, or make a graphic, or even just send in a quote. I am currently collecting submissions.
Where do you get your character names from?
I just used names that I liked… 
What type of research goes into your writing?
I do a lot of research. My favorite is when I am interviewing someone who works in criminal justice over bubble tea, to get in the head of my serial killer. There is nothing like talking about the methods of hunting a victim while the surrounding people wonder if you are planning a murder for real.
Are your family and friends supportive of your writing?
Yes and no! Some very much so. Others not at all…  
Do you remember when your interest in writing came about?
I was always encouraged to be creative but I think the first time I identified myself as a writer was in 5th grade. My teacher Mr Kuykedall got  a poem I had written published and he gave me a blank journal to fill before the end of school when he saw my love for writing. Teachers really can make a difference!
Other then writing what are your interest?
I love sculpting, dancing, traveling, spending time with my girls, and love the outdoors! Especially in the fall! It is magical!
Did you learn anything from writing your books, if so what was it?
I learned how much I love my muse! And how amazing my fans are! I truly have the best fans EVER!! I am learning auto spell check is from the devil and that I will never stop writing again… it is in my blood  And I have learned that writing is more than just writing! All of a sudden you have to wear 100 hats you never knew existed before 
What are your current WIP? Can you share with us?
I just released Becoming Invisible,  the third book in The Alaskan Heart Saga. I am currently working on the fourth book. I am hoping to get it out in late fall.

Quote  
By Marianne Williamsonfrom “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are younot to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Movie 
I love The Guardian, Braveheart, What’s Your Number, (Chris Evans) and the list goes on and on! 
Music 
I love the Goo Goo Dolls, Second Hand Serenade, Marina Desiree, and so much more.

Author: Emme Rollins 
Genre: New Adult Dark Suspense Romance 
Publishers: Fido Publishing 
Release Date: August 23 2013


Dusty has always been a hothead, far more impulsive than her twin, Nick, the calm, cool and collected one of the pair. But Nick is dead, found murdered in their local cemetery, and Dusty simply can’t rest until she finds out who–or what–has killed her brother.

Sure the local authorities aren't being straight with her–or anyone else–about what’s been going on in their little upper Michigan town, Dusty delays going off to college for a semester, defying her father and stepmother and taking a job in the local bar to start doing some digging.

Her focus soon fixes on Shane, her brother’s best friend and the town bad boy. The tension and rivalry between Dusty and Shane has always been palpable and sparks fly as the two collide. Dusty finds herself sinking in deeper with Shane and the mystery of what happened to her brother–and a lengthening list of victims–grows even stranger.

When everything comes to a head, Dusty focuses on one thing: What happened the night her brother was killed in the cemetery? She’s sure Shane is keeping a secret and she’s determined to find out what it is, one way or another.

REVIEW QUOTES!!!
“ I finished this book in one day, couldn't put it down!! ” Brandi
“ Save my Soul is a page-turner that I would recommend to anyone with an appreciation for romance and the paranormal. ” Mandy Trouten
REVIEW FROM A READER: Okay so I'm writing this through tears. Wow, this story was just amazing, especially the ending. That was an ending I wasn't anticipating. The plot always kept me guessing and kept me on the edge of my seat. The concept of the story was unique, so different than what I read all the time. It was refreshing, and truly amazing. What happens if you woke up to find yourself dying on a hospital bed? What if you couldn't move, couldn't speak, but could hear everything that was occurring? Well that is what happens to 29 year old Kendra who had a bad accident after going rappelling with her friends. Imagine her surprise when being patched up and stitched back together by a doctor, who voice she finds safe and soothing, she hears a voice in her mind. Actually not just one voice, but two of them. Who are they? Well it turns out it is her guardian angel and the guardian angel of the doctor who saved her life. The doctor's guardian angel, Coen, literally makes her an offer she couldn't refuse. He made it so that Kendra lives, even after that tragic accident that was suppose to end her life. But he gives her a task in exchange for her life. Her task? Make the misguided doctor believe in God again. But there is one catch to this. Kendra only has one week to make Dr. Adam Chamberlain believe in God or she loses her soul and dies all over again except this time, permanently. How do you make a man who has given up on God believe again? Especially after a tragic event that caused the doctor to lose his faith in God in the first place. Can love conquer years of resentment and heartbreak? Or will both Kendra's and Adam's souls be lost forever? Okay, I really loved the idea of putting guardian angels and guardian demons in this book. I never heard of a story like this before, it's a really neat idea if you ask me. Kendra's character in the book made me smile a lot. She was a strong female character who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to speak her mind. But not only is she brave and outspoken, she is also sweet and caring. She surprised me so much in this book with her generosity and kind actions. She was a character that many girls and women can relate to. I personally hope I can be something like Kendra one day. And the doctor in the story? I have one word to describe him: Amazing! Adam was what I expected him to be: sweet, remote, misguided but overall he was loyal to the end. His stubbornness added to his character and I think he was the perfect man for Kendra. Even Rhyan, Kendra's guardian angel, will always have a place in my heart as well. He was so funny in the book and very charming. The emotion and love he shows to Kendra made me want to cry and give him a hug. His character added something unique to this book. Overall, an amazing book! I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a great story with amazing characters. Some of my favorite quotes from the book: "I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to myself." "Don't do that, people will think you're crazy." "You better watch it, Ms. Larkin, Ashley's looks will break that nice camera of yours." her boyfriend joined in with the cruel laughter. I started to speak, but Adam beat me to it. "If it made it through your shots, the camera will be just fine after Ashley's session." "Are you going to tell me the reason I can't stop looking at you?" "Love conquers all evil. Don't judge a book by its cover. Everything happens for a reason and ... If you haven't found your soul mate yet, don't ever, ever give up hope; he or she is out there somewhere." - Joc
HELL'S GIFT - Book 2 in the 'Save My Soul' series. 4.8/5 star rating
Depression consumes the guardian angel, Rhyan, after his human charge chooses her soulmate over him. Filled with anger and despair, he lashes out. And when his hate-filled words land him neck-deep in Hell, he realizes he's gone too far. He expects trouble, but not to discover his own soulmate in the fiery depths. Abigail is there with good reason, but she's done her time, and in order to save them both, Rhyan must strike a deal with the Devil. The stakes are higher than ever before, with his soul, his friends and even the fate of Heaven and Earth in jeopardy. If he fails, Rhyan stands to lose more than he ever feared. Will true love be denied? It will take everything he's got to break down the traps Lucifer puts in his way. New lines are drawn and old scores are settled, and Rhyan is in for the fight of his life. With Abigail as the prize, and humanity in the balance, he will stop at nothing to claim...Hell's Gift.
REVIEW QUOTES!!!
“ A well written plotline filled with twists and very believable characters. ” Shiralyn Lee
“ After the first book in this series, Save My Soul, I could hardly wait for this one to come out. ” Kelly The Red
“ Hell's Gift was a page turner from start to finish! ” Jennifer Wedmore
REVIEW FROM A READER: Hell’s Gift is the second novel in the Save My Soul series, yet a standalone story, just like the first. You can read my review of book one, Save My Soul, here. A completely original idea for a fantasy romance, this book is a huge accomplishment on so many levels. For a start, there’s a lot of story within those pages, and not one word of that is useless waffle. The action starts on page one and finishes with the last sentence. What made it more interesting for me was the frequent change of environment. Most of the action takes place in Hell, but it’s not the sort of Hell you would have imagined. I won’t tell you how it’s different, just trust that it is. Sometimes it’s better, often it’s worse, and the pain is not necessarily physical. Rhyan’s trials are imaginative, and the secondary plots developed enough to allow us a glimpse into the psyche of many of the demons and fallen angels that populate the upper classes of this incredibly rich world. There are minions and beasts, love and hate, fear and debauchery – you’ve really got to read it and see for yourself. Characterisation is one of K.S. Haigwood’s strongest points. Rhyan, a depressed guardian angel, is very well developed, his voice clear and easily identifiable throughout the story. You can understand his predicament – who doesn’t know the feeling of unrequited love? – and you can almost foresee his reactions. But. There’s always a but, with this author, because K.S. Haigwood can deliver enough twists and turns to turn a tornado on its head. Just as you think you’ve figured where the story is going next, she’s duped you again. Rhyan grows through his experiences and, in the background, you can see a few cracks beginning to appear in the personalities of secondary characters, too. Each one gets what they deserve, even if it’s just another chance to prove themselves. I loved the story and the idea behind it. Love conquers all is the message in many books, but you rarely see it as challenged and as humorised as here. Take this short dialogue, for example: “Which direction should I go?” I said to both Pogo and Malcolm. “North,” Pogo replied. “South,” Malcolm said. “West it is, then,” I said, and stepped out into the acid blizzard. The whole novel is littered with good chuckle moments, and even in the darkest hour, the thinnest hint of a silver lining is still visible among the clouds. I wholeheartedly recommend reading this book. Shock therapy for body and soul, delivered at a hundred miles an hour with the humor and charisma of a trendsetter, Hell’s Gift is certain to be hailed the new wonder-drug to cure all ills. No one is perfect, and this books shows you why you don’t have to be. Get ready to laugh, cry and most of all feel your way through this addictive story. Kristie Haigwood is a skilled sorceress of the fantasy world. Five very well-deserved stars for this effort. - E Medler
