Author Interview:
1. How
did you start writing erotic romance?
I'm not really sure. I think it just sort of happened when I
wasn't paying attention. *laughs* I guess it stemmed from all the romance
novels I've read.
2. Plotter
or pantster?
I'm a little of both. I like to plot out at least the main
things I want to happen and the characters. The rest usually just pops into my
head as I go.
3. What
are three things you have on your writing desk?
My desktop computer, a notebook to scribble down notes, and
some kind of caffeinated beverage, either iced coffee or a Coke.
4. Favorite
food?
That really depends on my mood. Usually, it's french fries
or strawberry cheesecake.
5. Tell
us a little about your new release. What character in the book really spoke to
you?
My book is a Paranormal Romance about vampires, witches, and
a curse. The character that really spoke to me throughout the whole process was
Decan Colt, the main male character who also happens to be a vampire.
6. I
write because ____...
I write because it is something I have always loved. It's a
way for me to relax and forget about the real world, even for just a little
while.
7. What
is your favorite type of character to write about?
I love writing about strong women. The kind that doesn't
need a man to complete them, but isn't above letting one do the rescuing if
needed.
8. What
is the sexiest scene you ever wrote?
Probably my very first sex scene. I had never written one
before and I was a little intimidated at first.
9. What
advice would you give new authors in the erotica/romance field?
It's okay to be a little embarrassed when writing your sex
scenes. They are very intimate scenes and sometimes can be a little
intimidating getting things worded just
right without seeming over the top or silly.
10. What is next on your writerly horizon?
I have a couple of books in my head, vying for my attention.
One is a short Christmas sequel to The Grey Curse. The other is about the Greek
Goddess of Fate, Lachesis.

Author bio:
Proud, sassy and immensely stubborn, Krista Kelley is a
stay-at-home wife and mom who will fearlessly boogie to any song just to see
her daughter smile. When not wrangling an energetic child, she can be found in
her home office, pouring her heart into her writing while guzzling the sweet
nectar known as Starbucks. She loves a good romance novel and would much rather
spend her nights curled up on the couch with a book and her cat Thor than out
on the town.
Blurb:
For nearly two centuries,
every female descendant of the witch Rebecca Grey has died mysteriously at the
age of twenty-one. The last of her line, Selena Grey has done everything to
live a normal life. That is until she learns of the curse placed on her family.
Selena's 21st birthday is coming soon and she has to find a way to break the
curse and live.
Decan Colt wants more than
anything to be normal again. For 160 years, he has walked the earth a
blood-thirsty monster, a Vampire. He was traded and trained at a young age to be
his mother's revenge on Rebecca Grey and her family. But when he sees his
latest target, he falters. Something about Selena Grey reminds him of the
humanity he thought he had lost so long ago.
When Decan refuses to kill
Selena, his maker decides to take matters into his own hands. Together, they
must break the curse or face the wrath of an older vampire bent on vengeance.
Will they be the latest victims of the Grey Curse?

Book excerpt:
"This one's the last of
her line. There are no others, Deke." He held up a file and tossed it to
Decan.
Catching it, he thumbed
through the small stack of papers and moved back to his recliner. "Selena
Michelle Grey, born October 31st, 1991. Hair, blonde. Eyes, blue. Only child to
Thomas and Melissa Grey." Decan closed the folder and leaned back in his
chair. The last Grey. It meant his life's purpose had almost been completed.
What would he do when the time came when there were no more
"missions"? There had been a time when it had seemed impossible. He
had spent his exceedingly long life fulfilling his mother's wishes. Running a
hand through his hair, he gave it a tug before peering back up at his maker.
"After this one, I'll be
free?"
Nikolai's lips turned up in a
small smile. "You'll be free. You know the drill. You have until her
twenty-first birthday to do recon. Study her habits—where she goes, who she
sees. October thirty-first, you strike."
Before
Decan could blink, the elder man disappeared. He glanced back down at the file
in his hands and smirked. The last Grey. How would he deal with this one? A
fire? Or maybe a drowning? It happened a lot with the Ohio River being so
close. Whatever he did, he had to make sure it looked like an accident. They
didn't need people looking for a murderer. It was one of their rules. Always
make it appear accidental. Decan couldn't afford to be caught. After 100 years,
he had gotten good at his job. First, with Violet Grey. Then Mary Sue and April
Grey, Nancy Grey Callis and last had been Elizabeth Grey. Five women he'd
killed, all in his mother's name. But they had deserved it, they all did. And
now this one would die and fulfill his mother's curse.
