What
sparked your interest in becoming a romance writer?
I often joke that I
became a writer of romance and erotica because it was the best way for me to
parlay my passions into a career.
What
was the first romance novel you read that made an impression on you?
When I was really
young, I read The Thornbirds. It was the
naughtiest book I could imagine. I
remember thinking that I needed to be able to write like that. So, that’s what I try to do.
Tell
us 5 surprising things about yourself.
1.
I have a
tattoo.
2.
I want
more…small, sexy, meaningful.
3.
My palate
has really become more sophisticated…as evidenced by my love of sushi and
asparagus…sometimes even together.
4.
I think
cruising is the only way to travel.
5.
For
someone so intrigued by sex, I didn’t lose my virginity for a really long time.
What
is your writing environment.
I write wherever I am
comfortable at the moment. It could be
in the living room, lying on the bed, on the garage couch, or even the
floor. I abhor writing at desks. It feels too much like work and I just want
to have fun with it.
One
of your favorite quotes.
By Mae West: You only
live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Do
you have a website recommendation for other writers?
Great ideas. I’m working to implement them…especially
marketing.
Who
is your perfect hero? And why?
I think the perfect
hero is perfectly imperfect. I think he
has flaws, but that when he finds love, they make him more real, less
god-like. He doesn’t have to have this
model-esque body. He says the right
things, even if he doesn’t say them smoothly.
My favorite heroes are the reformed players, the ones who have been
around and finally found everything they never knew they always wanted with the
unlikeliest of women.
Which
authors have caught your interest lately? Why?
Hmmm. In the author groups, I’m finding ones that I
try to emulate, that I admire for their skill and their abilities. JB McGee has a new book coming out,,,Skipping
Stones. I’ve been able to beta that a
bit. And Brandy Dorsch is an aspiring
writer who has an interesting looking paranormal romance coming out soon.
What
type of book have you always wanted to write?
It has taken me
forever, but Sin at Sea is the kind of book I always wanted to be brave enough
to write. There is something so
liberating about not worrying over pushing the envelope. At the same time, I think while writing
something very erotic, I kept it classy.
That’s important. Even my smut
has a story,
