Isabo Kelly is an author of sci-fi, paranormal and fantasy romance novels, and she’s a friend and fellow member of RWA NYC. Isabo also has a Ph. D in animal behavior, and knows lots of weird facts about animal sex. She graciously agreed to answer my same six questions, even though she’s got a baby on the way, and two new releases this month!

1. If you could have any super power, what would it be?
Super speed was my first thought, but then I decided teleportation would be better. I’d love to be able to teleport to wherever I want to go without the hassle of planes, trains and automobiles. To get there and back in the blink of an eye? Brilliant!

2. Who is your favorite hero of fiction?
This one is tough as I have several depending on the genre. JD Robb’s Roarke is the first to come to mind, but probably because he’s Irish. Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre; Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings from Julia
 Quinn’s The Duke and I; and Miles Vorkosigan from Lois McMaster Bujold’s
Vorkosigan series all come in close seconds. If we’re including movies, though, Han Solo wins hands down. ☺

3. What is one of your most romantic moments?
My hubby and I have had quite a few. When I asked him what he considered our most romantic moment, his first suggestion was seeing the Grand Canyon together—which led us into a list of all the romantic moments we’ve had on trips together (like walking around Florence, Italy after dinner and cruising down the Nile in Egypt). But I think the most romantic moment for me was that moment when he walked into the registry office in Dublin on our wedding day and got his first good look at me all decked out in my white dress with my hair all done up in curls. His eyes got wide and he said, “Wow.” And I couldn’t stop grinning for the rest of the day.

4. Of the places you’ve traveled to, which is your favorite?
I should probably say Ireland since I lived there for so long. And it does rank up there as one of the best places I’ve ever been. But I’d have to say Italy is probably my most favorite travel destination—anywhere in Italy is brilliant, but I have a particular soft spot for Florence and Venice.

5. What’s your most used curse word?
Just one? LOL I’ve got three Irish inspired ones that I use all the time—feck, bugger, and balls. But if I had to pick a favorite, I’d say “fuck” wins; it’s so versatile and can be used to great affect in almost any situation. I don’t use it as often as the other three, but it’s my favorite.

6. Please take a moment of shameless self-promotion:
Well, if you insist. I’ve got a new science fiction romantica novel out from Ellora’s Cave on June 13th—SIREN SINGING. Very hot and sexy, and it should be the first of a five book series. I also have a fantasy romance called LADY OF THE HERD being released this month from Crescent Moon Press. You can also read a small prose poem of mine—Sings the Forest—for free at Crescent Moon Press now. And later this year, Samhain Publishing will be re-releasing my first published novel, a science fiction romance called THE PROMISE OF KIERNA’RHOAN.
