Enslave Me Sweetly

Up Close and Personal with the Author

YOU CALLED YOUR PARENTS “ASS KISSERS” IN THE DEDICATION OF AWAKEN ME DARKLY. DID YOU MEAN TO DO THAT?

First, I’m sorry mom and dad! No, that was a total accident—although my mom tells me it must have been a Freudian slip. Thankfully, they found my mistake amusing. I had no idea I’d done it until my friend and fellow author, Jill Monroe, called me and mentioned it. Talk about being horrified! I’d meant to call my parents “ass kickers.” KICKERS. K-I-C-K-E-R-S. And no, I’ll never live this down.

HOW COME MIA SNOW DIDN’T MAKE AN APPEARANCE IN THIS BOOK?

Have no fears, I do plan to bring Mia Snow back into play. In fact, she and Kyrin make an appearance in the third alien huntress book, Savor Me Slowly. Let’s just say Mia and the star of that book do not get along. Eden Black and her man will be there, too.

TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS NEXT BOOK. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…

Miska Le’ace, a woman whose DNA has been spliced and honed by scientists, making her an empath and gifting her with superhuman strength, is recruited by Alien Investigation and Removal agents to find and stop the alien wreaking havoc in near future New Chicago. Also, Jaxon can’t resist her….

WHY DON’T YOU WRITE THESE ALIEN HUNTRESS BOOKS FASTER?

I also write paranormal romances, contemporary romances, and young adult books, so I promise you that I’m writing all the time, as fast as I can. I’ve even forgotten what spare time and vacation mean.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT WRITING THE ALIEN HUNTRESS BOOKS?

Creating this world where the good guys aren’t always good and are sometimes worse than the bad guys. It’s exciting, thrilling, and I’m never bored. There’s something absolutely wondrous about weaving the right words together and breathing life into a story, into people.

WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE AUTHORS?

I love a plethora of authors. P. C. Cast, Karen Marie Moning, Jill Monroe, Kresley Cole, Linda Howard, Jennifer Crusie, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Janet Chapman, MaryJanice Davidson, Susan Grant…. I could go on and on. Books—not just my own—are my passion. Reading is one of my favorite things to do.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ABDUCTED BY AN OTHER-WORLDER?

No. But if there truly were an other-worlder, like Devyn, I might voluntarily go. However, I’ve been told by a certain friend (who shall remain nameless for now—oh, what the hell: Kelli) that Devyn is her property and I’m to keep my hands off.

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR IDEAS?

If I told the truth—from the voices inside my head (they’re characters so it’s okay, I promise!)—I’d be committed, so I’ll stick with my standard answer: everywhere. No conversation around me is safe, no action is exempt. God, I love my job!
