Thank you to Trinity Blacio for tagging me in this
blog tour.
1) What am I
working on?
Her Wolf Ménage, my next full-length erotic paranormal,
releases March 20. Right now I’m gearing up for that, and have been putting
together some fun contest prizes. I also just finished edits on Dry Heat, my next For Men Quickie with
Ellora’s Cave.
Writing-wise, I’m
getting started on a submission for Decadent Publishing’s new line Beyond Fairy
Tales, which are based on Grimm tales. I’m contemplating a BDSM twist to the
story and the excursion I took to a dungeon during the Wild Wicked Weekend in
February will help.
2) How does my
work differ from others of its genre?
Each story is
unique. I like to infuse passion and emotion into my stories. With my
background in journalism, I’m told I do well with a sense of place.
3) Why do I
write what I do?
Erotic is
honest. If you’re dating someone in real life, most of the time you have a
physical relationship before marriage. Plus, romance helps feed the part of a
person’s soul that craves the glowing candles and strewn red roses. We may not
get it in daily life. I’ve been married for 14 years, and I know there are ups
and downs. But between the covers of a book, ah – it helps stimulate those
neurons.
Secondarily,
I’ve always been fascinated with the paranormal world. Ghosts, vampires,
werewolves: why not?
4) How does
your writing process work?
My actual
writing process is insane. While I know the general direction of a story, and
certain scenes I’d like to include, I don’t plot and I don’t write linear
(unless it’s a short story). Most often, I write what scenes feel right. If I’m
in a bad mood, maybe that’s a break-up scene. If I’m feeling particularly
amorous, hey then that’s perfect timing for a hook-up. That process is one way
that differentiates me from others.
In the end,
fortunately, it all comes together.
Thanks for
visiting. Next week, stop by and read the behind-the-scenes from my friends Sabrina Sol and Maureen O’Betita.
In celebration
of Mardi Gras happening this week, here’s a taste of Mirabella’s Mardi Gras Ménage!
Constantly under
the watchful eye of her Voodoo priestess aunt, Mirabella longs to break free
during the events of Mardi Gras. Escapades draw her into the arms of
Marguerite, a fiery redhead with a passion for life, and Nick, a familiar
vampire who’s haunted by his transformation and past.
What starts as a
new experience – a Mardi Gras Ménage – soon turns deadly, and none of their
lives will ever be the same.
Available
via Ravenous Romance, Amazon, Barnes
& Noble and
