EnJoy...
When
is your birthday?
September 17
Where
did you grow up?
Nashville, TN
Are
you a morning person, or a night person?
I used to be a morning person, but now
that I have small kids, I find I get more done at night when they’re in bed.
Why
did you choose to write for the genre that you do?
I love
love. It makes me happy and provides an escape for me when I read it, so my
only hope is I can do the same for others.
What
is your favorite season or holiday?
Favorite holiday is fall. Favorite
holiday is Christmas.
What
is the wallpaper on your cellphone?
Me and my youngest.
What
are three things that you always keep handy at all times?
Phone,
water, and snacks for my gremlins.
What
inspires you, or where do you look for inspiration?
I find inspiration in the most random
things. A TV show, a girls’ trip…you never know when a story will hit me.
What
is one thing that most people do not know about you?
I make
cakes. Before I had kids, I used to decorate cakes for people.
What
is the weirdest thing that you have ever googled?
Oh lord, as an author, the list is
endless.
What
is the most attractive, and the first thing you notice, about the opposite sex?
His eyes and smile.
Who
is the first person you call when you are having a bad day?
My mom.
What
kind of drunk person do you turn into when you drink?
I’m that fun, I-love-everybody drunk.
If
you could be any color in the big box of crayons, which one would you be?
Purple. It’s my favorite.
What
do you put on your pizza?
Pepperoni
and pineapple every single time.
What
is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Cookie dough
Do
you eat your feelings, or starve them?
I’m an eater all the way.

Trashy TV shows. Things like Teen Mom
and Maury…shows that should embarrass me…are my go-tos.
Who
would win in a fight: Batman or Spiderman?
Batman
Do
you believe in Ghosts? Aliens? Big Foot?
Yes, yes, no.
So,
the Moon Landing, did it actually
happen?
Yes.
If
only one of your books could be turned into a movie, which one would you choose
and why?
Hopeless Vows. It’s my favorite book
and was inspired by the show Married at First Sight. I think marry a complete
stranger could make for an entertaining movie, especially when the bride
realizes she knows the groom. Problem is, the thing that connects them is her
best kept secret.
Who
is your favorite author, and/or what is your favorite book?
I love everything Colleen Hoover has ever
written. I not only love her words, but I admire her as a person too. Hopeless
is my favorite book of hers, followed closely by It Ends With Us.

give up?
Wine!!
Do
you sing in the shower?
No.
Do
any of the scenes in your books come from personal experience, or actually
events, and are you willing to tell us about one?
Definitely.
The inspiration behind Calculated Risk started from a girls’ trip I took with
some friends. We were walking toward the bar at a club, and a guy elbowed me in
the boob on accident. We started talking to his group of friends before we all
left for the night. While my friends and I were all married, I wondered what
would happen if a girl met a guy in a bar like this, like him, but lied and
said she was married to push him away. Hence, Calculated Risk was born.
If
you were forced to open a bakery, what would you name it?
A Duncan Delight
Be
able to teleport wherever you want, or be able to read minds whenever you want?
Read minds.
More From Rachael Duncan
What
are you currently working on?
I
talked about Calculated Risk and what inspired this story. Well, that one event
started a whole series of standalones. Risk and Reward just came out and is a
spin off on one of the friends. I’m currently working on the third friend’s
story in a heartbreaking enemies to lovers story.
What
other plans do you have with your writing?
After
my current project, I’ll write one more standalone in the Risk Series before
moving on to another set of characters and story.
When
is you next book possibly going to release?
I’m
shooting for August.
