1. How did you start writing erotic romance?
I like challenges. I'd read several erotic
romances and thought I could try to write one. So, a few years ago, I had an
idea for a series. It's part paranormal and part contemporary. Siren picked it
up. I love the premise and it has good reviews. Once I gained confidence that I
could write erotic romance I decided to write other stories not related to the
one with Siren.
2. Plotter or pantster?
I'm a good mixture of both. I come up with a
basic plot then fill in the details as I go along.
3. What are three things you have on your writing
desk?
gum, water, sticky notes
4. Favorite food?
Seafood, specifically, ocean scallops. Yum.
5. Tell us a little about your new release. What
character in the book really spoke to you?
My latest release is called Another Gift to
Remember. It's the second novella in the Memorable Gifts series. Thomas and
Andy are partners in a marketing firm and they've been friends since college.
Andy's big 40th birthday is coming up and Thomas has the perfect gift idea. The
story is a contemporary erotic romance with two men and two women.
6. I write because ____...
I write because I enjoy it. I have stories in my
head and want to share them with others. Putting my thoughts into words and
sharing them is fun for me. I like it. I hope readers enjoy the stories.
7. What is your favorite type of character to
write about?
For a woman, I like her to be strong but flawed.
For a man, pretty much the same, but I like him to be bold and daring. Fearless
too, except for one thing…the woman he wants. He will do anything for her.
8. What is the sexiest scene you ever wrote?
Wow, it's difficult to choose one. I have two,
one involving food and the other takes place on a plane. The scenes are in
different stories.
9. What advice would you give new authors in the
erotica/romance field?
Write what you love and write every day. Don't
give up. If you enjoy writing, then keep writing. And keep reading too.
10. What is next on your writerly horizon?
I have five or six short stories coming
out this year with another publisher. The series is called Diary of a Free
Woman. I'm on a break for a while and haven't decided what to write next.
Book
Blurb:
Thomas Barrett has it all. He's a part owner of a
marketing firm with his best friend of twenty years, Andy. In addition to a
successful career, Thomas enjoys the love of two beautiful women, his wife,
Lynn, and his assistant, Carol. He couldn't be happier with life.
Tasked with finding a gift idea for Andy's fortieth
birthday, Thomas comes up with a perfect one. Not only will it please Andy,
Thomas is certain his idea will provide great pleasure to Lynn and Carol.
Thomas wants his favorite naughty women to bring Andy into their love nest. But
will Lynn and Carol be willing to have sex with Thomas's best friend? Better
yet, can Andy maintain a working and sexual relationship with them?
EXCERPT:
Smiling, Lynn
faced her husband. "Carol and I have agreed to express ourselves freely
tonight. We want you to do the same. Anything is acceptable."
Thomas's brows
shot up. "What does that mean?"
"It means
we're not holding back, and neither should you," Carol said.
She turned to face
Lynn and placed her hand on the side of Lynn's face. Leaning toward her, Carol
brought Lynn's mouth to meet hers. Lynn kissed her back and slid her tongue
between Carol's lips. Heat swirled within Carol while her loins ached for
attention. She clenched her thighs. Gently and tenderly, Carol played with
Lynn's tongue but she held control of the urges steadily rising within her. The
night was young and she wanted to take plenty of time to play later. She pried
her mouth from Lynn's, then they both smiled and looked at Thomas.
"If you want
to kiss or touch Carol, then do it. I won't stop you, nor will I stop
her," Lynn said. "If I want to kiss and touch Carol, I will."
He stared at them
with wide eyes. "I can't believe what I'm hearing. I can't believe I just
watched my wife kiss my assistant."
"That was
nothing compared to our kiss earlier in the week," Carol said.
"You kissed
before?"
"We
did," Lynn said.
"Are you
feeling okay, honey? Are you on any new medication?"
"I feel
better than I have in a long time, Thomas. This is your birthday. I want you to
enjoy it, and so should I."
He clasped his
hands tight in front of his groin while he moved his legs together, then apart.
"This is too strange."
"Don't be
nervous, dear. Carol and I aren’t." Lynn shifted her gaze to Carol.
"Are we?"
"I'm
comfortable. Well, my thong is a bit wet, but I'll manage."
"See."
Lynn smiled. "Now relax and enjoy your birthday. And don't hold back
Thomas. I know you want to touch Carol."
Thomas leaned his
head back against the seat and rubbed his eyes with his palms. "I'm
dreaming. You put something in my wine and now I'm seeing things."
Carol sighed and
looked at Lynn. "This could be a long night."
"He'll catch
on. Give him some time."
