Life’s been busy around here. I took an online class on
prewriting from a fellow NTRWA member. It was designed to help jump start
NANOWriMo. I didn’t participate in that, but I wanted to learn how to be more
productive. And let me tell you, I am forever grateful for Heather’s class! I
had my first 9000 word weekend and I feel like the words are flying onto the
page these days.
Here are the
questions everyone is asking and answering.
Don’t forget to check out the other other’s blogs. You might find your
next favorite book!
What is the working title of your book?
Stranded at the Rodeo
Where did the idea come from for the book?
Q. This is the
third book in a series, and the idea came to me while I attended a gun show
with my husband. I was leaning on a wall with no idea where hubby was, just
watching the crowd, and the idea for the first book, Kidnapped at the Gun Show,
came to me. The two sequels became
imperative after the first chapter of Kidnapped was written.
A. What genre does your book fall
under?
Erotic Romance. I write hot love scenes surrounded by
story, often bordering on romantic suspense.
Q. Which actors would you choose to play
your characters in a movie rendition?
Emma –Paige Turco. She’s just lovely and self-assured.
Noah –Kevin McKidd. Tall, roughly handsome and
self-contained,
he’d be perfect for domineering Noah.
Ryan –Chris Pine. He’s just adorably cocky and movie star
handsome.
Q. What is the one-sentence synopsis of
your book?
A. An
innocent young woman on the run takes shelter with a dominant man who then
introduces her to BDSM and to his best friend.
Q. Will your book
be self-published or represented by an agency?
A.
The first two books
were published by Siren Bookstrand, and since this will be a sequel, they have
first dibs.
Q. How long did it take you to write the
first draft of your manuscript?
A.
About two months,
give or take a few weeks. I worked on a
few other projects in between chapters of Stranded.
Q. What other
books would you compare this story to within your genre?
A. What a
hard question! Maybe early Lora Leigh, her SEALs books.
Q. Who or what inspired you to write
this book?
A.
I’m fascinated by
the psychology of the BDSM lifestyle.
While the practitioners are a widely diverse population, the fantasy of
being in that lifestyle appeals to many women.
Q. What else about your book might pique
the reader’s interest?
A.
Well, if you like
BDSM and/or ménage, you will enjoy this story. There’s also a good bit of
suspense.
