Questions:
How long have you been writing?
·
I have been writing some kind of fiction since I
was a teenager. I turned to writing strictly some sub-genre of romance and
getting published fifteen years ago.
What is your favorite genre to write?
·
Romance is the only genre I write, but I dabble
all over the place in sub-genres. Most of my books have to do with cowboys,
whether contemporary or historical. But I also write Regency, Medieval, pirate,
sci-fi, paranormal, and general contemporary.
What are you working on now?
·
I always work on multiple projects at the same
time, because I write for three publishers. Currently I am working on For Ruby’s Love, which will be a sequel
to The CEO and the Cowboy from
Decadent Publishing. Calhoun and Daniel return, with much more insight into
their relationship, and Ruby is added to the mix. I’m also working on Cowboy Dreamin’ for Decadent
Publishing’s 1 Night Stand Series. This is also a ménage story. And I’m working
on Cowboy of Her Heart for Decadent
Publishing’s Challenge Series.
·
In addition, I am writing Abigail’s Earl for Blushing Books. This is a Regency story and the
second book in the Claymore Series. His
Lady Ashlynn was the first book and was released May 1, 2013.
·
And I’m working on Riding for a Fall for Black Velvet Seductions. This will be the
third book in the Grayson Brothers Series.
When you begin a story do you start with character or plot?
·
Actually I begin with the title. My titles
define the story. Next I come up with the characters.
Tell us about your latest/upcoming release. What inspired
it?
·
My newest release from Decadent Publishing was Acceptance, which was released May 27,
2013. This is my third contemporary, erotic, gay romance for Decadent. I have published 20 novels, 35 novellas, and
7 anthologies in the romance lines, but I didn’t start writing the occasional
GLBT romance until 2011. I can’t exactly say “why” I started writing these
stories, but I enjoy doing so. I’m a real Happily Ever After kind of person and
I want it for everyone, no matter the genders involved.
BLURB
Being the CEO of a major architectural company in California has taken over
far too much of Chase’s life, leaving no time for romance. But when a handsome
Spaniard offers drinks and conversation, talking leads to one spectacular night
and an awareness of what he really wants. But once Rico returns home to Spain,
Chase will be alone, again.Rico lives on his family’s strict schedules with no time for contemplating what is missing in his life. He doesn’t expect to meet someone special on this business trip. But he is drawn to the big, striking blond American. Giving Chase someone to talk to, takes Rico’s mind off his problems. And a mutual attraction gives them both a chance to forget everything else and let their passionate natures run free.
Chase has a company to run and Rico must return home to Spain, a truth they must both accept, but will acceptance be enough when it comes to waking up alone?
EXCERPT
Rico yawned, exhaustion catching up with him as well
as having sat for too long. “Sorry. It’s been a long day.”
“I apologize for keeping you out so late.” Chase
headed for the doorway. “Hopefully you can get some rest before your plane
leaves tomorrow.”
Rest wasn’t what appealed to Rico at the moment. His
gaze had followed Chase’s taut ass as he walked ahead of him. He’d been
thinking all night about what the handsome blond would look like naked. The man
had a well-toned body and a confident way of carrying himself that had captured
his interest upon meeting. When they’d
shaken hands, something had passed between them. A slight tingling sensation,
but more than that. He’d been almost certain Chase had felt the connection as
well. It had been a long time since Rico had felt such a powerful attraction
and an aching need to take someone.
“Are you all right?” Chase asked, turning to stop and
wait for him to catch up.
Pulled from his wandering thoughts, Rico said, “Si. I just have something on my mind.”
He drew in a settling breath and forced a smile. “Someone, actually.”
“Someone?” Chase asked, raising one eyebrow.
Interest was there in the man’s expression, in the
heat that flashed in the blue eyes. Rico took a chance. “You.”
