1. How did you start writing erotic romance?
I've always wanted to be a writer, from the earliest memory.
There's nothing more magical to me than the story of how 2 people fall in love
and maintain their relationship. I'm blessed to be able to write their stories.
2. Plotter or pantster?
I'm a pantster, completely. I have a general idea where the story is going and what will
happen, but I leave my characters in charge for the most part and let them tell
me what they want. If I plotted, they'd
no doubt change the outline anyway, fickle things which they are.
3. What are three things you have on your writing desk?
1. A copy of the Blue Tardis journal The Doctor gave River
Song in Doctor Who
2. A stuffed bunny my Hubby gave me as his first romantic
gift to me because he called me 'my bunny'.
3. 3 bottles of water to remind me to hydrated and to keep
me from eating junk food
4. Favorite food?
5. Tell us a little about your new release. What character
in the book really spoke to you?
'Take a Chance on Me' is the story of co workers who become
lovers right before both their worlds fall apart. It's a companion book to my
first release from Breathless Press, Wedding Belle Blues. The hero and heroine
are more mature and past that 'first bloom' of love.
Christine, the heroine, spoke the most to me because she's
actually much like me: same age, lifestyle, things which happen with and to
her. It was great to talk to her and let her tell me her side of things.
6. I write because ____...
I have to. It's like breathing. I need it, I carve it, I
have to do it.
7. What is your favorite type of character to write about?
Characters which grow through life experience are my
favorite, the ones who learn how to relate to themselves and their worlds in a
whole new way when things look the darkest. We all have to grow and change with
life circumstances, so these characters are the most real to me.
8. What is the sexiest scene you ever wrote?
In the novel I'm currently writing, the hero is trying to
bake cookies as a surprise for his sister who has been very ill. He fails, and
for some reason, the heroine finds this incredibly sexy and decides to seduce
him against the glass French doors in the kitchen.
9. What advice would you give new authors in the
erotica/romance field?
Write something every day, even if you don't think it will
amount to the story you want to tell. You never know where a scene might fit.
10. What is next on your writerly horizon?
I'm finishing the next book in the 'Weddings by C & C'
series and already have the characters for the next book telling me their
story.

'Take a Chance on Me' Blurb:
Friends
and lovers rarely mix well with co workers and embezzlement cases as Charlie
and Christine are about to discover.
After
a near fatal accident leads to one incredible night of amazing sex, Christine
and Charlie take the leap from friends to lovers.
Christine
has battled many demons in the last few years. Charlie has always been her
confident and support. When Charlie refuses to answer emails or texts after an
embezzling scheme arises at work, Christine must come to terms with not only
losing a fabulous lover and her best friend but her job as well.
Charlie
carries his own scars when it comes to women. Yet there's something about
Christine which brings out his protective side and makes him hope for love he's
wanted for years.
Christine
and Charlie must work together to catch the thief before they can secure a love
of a lifetime. Can they catch the embezzler before they lose not only their
jobs and each other, but their lives as well?

His silence seemed wrong. Guilt filled his
expression and just as quickly it vanished, but she sensed his withdrawal.
Christine shook her head. No. She didn't, couldn't doubt him after what they'd
just done, what they were to each other. She trusted him as she'd never trusted
any other person. Charlie threw an arm over his face, blocking her physically
as well as emotionally. "Don't ask me about this."
Something inside her curled up and stopped
breathing. Whatever he hid separated them more than the distance between their
homes. "You said you believed in me. Did you mean it?" Anyone but
Charlie could doubt her, anyone. He lay still, his chest heaving as she climbed
from the bed and pulled on a robe. "Oh my God, you didn't."
"Of course I meant it." He sat up,
his expression closed and professional, no emotion. "But there's a reason
I didn't get placed on administrative leave too. I've been cleared. You
haven't."
She took the blow as if he'd hit her. He never
would, but this unexpected emotional punch hurt more. "How could you come
here, touch me, enter me, whisper all those things if you think I'm a thief and
a liar?"
"Making love with you has nothing to
do with the corporation and never did." The edge to his voice, the hard
bitterness, cut her like a knife. "Peg asked me not to discuss this case
with anyone, especially you. She asked the same of you, didn't she, because our
jobs are on the line?"
Peg, short for Margaret, Christine realized as numbness seeped through her, and the promotion. Oh God. "You two
are old friends and she cleared you because you're the Golden Boy. I'm
expendable. It doesn't even matter if I didn't steal the money; it's all about
protecting the corporate image."
Charlie thrust a hand through his hair.
"Stop before we both say something we regret. Just stop, Christine.
Please."
Fury overrode all her common sense. "Have
you only come here to see if I'll admit what you and the corporate heads think
I've done. Some after sex pillow talk? Were you to search my house for missing
money and forged orders while I slept exhausted from our bouts of sexual
release? You're part of the corporation's rat patrol, their ultimate secret
weapon with those sweet Hawaiian words. I bet they don't even translate like
you said. They probably mean 'stupid fool' or 'trampy slut'."
"For God's sake, don't be
ridiculous." He pounded a pillow flat. "I shouldn't even be here, but
I couldn't stay away. Think whatever else you want, but the truth is you and I
share something unique."
"We do? Really?" Christine
couldn't believe anything anymore. He wouldn't say he believed her incapable of
being a thief and hadn't come to investigate her. The fury, the fear, and the
grief made her cruel. "So it's okay to fuck me like a whore as long as you
get the promotion, and I take the fall."
Thank You so much for hosting me :)
