ME: Hi Alison, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a
little about yourself and your background?
ALISON MELLO: I'm originally from New Bedford MA. I'm former Army
National Guard and my husband is active Army and now that he's about to retire
we are moving my family to sunny Florida where we will settle and enjoy the
warm weather.
I love to read and write, but I
also love cheering my son on at his various sports. I also enjoy spending time
practicing with him when I'm not busy working.
ME: What genre do you write?
ALISON MELLO: Military romance and Romantic Suspense
ME: What are you working on at the minute?
ALISON MELLO: I have three WIPs I'm working on. The first is the
final book in the Club Thrive Series: Predator. I'm also working on breaking
into to new genres. I have a sports romance and an erotica I'm working on. All
three books will release in 2018.
ME: Can you share a little
of your current work with us?
ALISON MELLO: Sure! Here's an excerpt from Club Thrive: Agenda
“It smells yummy in here, what
are you making?”
“Well, there’s coffee in the pot,
and I’m making bacon, pancakes, and scrambled eggs. I thought I’d surprise you
with brunch in bed, but I guess you surprised me,” I say, trying to see her over
my shoulder.
She slips away to make her
coffee, and when I look over, she’s wearing nothing but one of my t-shirts. I
know she’s not wearing anything under it because when she reaches up to get a
coffee cup from the cabinet, I get a glimpse of her bare ass and it makes my
cock stir. I mentally talk myself down for now, trying to concentrate on not
burning our food. “What are your plans for tonight?”
She pours her coffee. “I don’t
know. I think we’re going to binge watch some shows on Netflix and order takeout.”
“Sounds like fun,” I pour egg
mixture into the pan. I’m almost done and I’m glad, because I’m starving, and
I’m sure she is too. We haven’t eaten since dinner last night, and it’s already
almost eleven.
“I have a few other things in
mind that sound like fun too, but I think we better eat first.” She grabs my
cock through the lounge pants I’m wearing.
“Easy, woman. My cock is already
aching, and I know for a fact you’re wearing absolutely nothing under that
t-shirt of mine.” My voice is raspy. “Breakfast is ready.” She gives me a
devilish smile removing her hand from my cock to take her plate. When she gets
to the table, she puts her plate down, then purposely drops her napkin. She
then proceeds to bend over, picking it up to reveal her gorgeous ass and
glistening pussy. She doesn’t realize that I’m now right behind her until I
slap her ass hard enough to leave a beautiful pink mark on her cheek. She
yelps, quickly standing. She turns to me with a grin on her face. “I’m claiming
that ass after breakfast since you want to be such a tease.” Her brows shoot
up. 
I wink at her and take my seat to
eat. I’m now starving, and for more than just the food in front of me. I can’t
help but wonder if she’s excited or nervous. I’ve claimed her ass once before
and she seemed to enjoy it as much as I do, but she’s still tight.
I finish my breakfast before
she’s even half done with hers. I pull the elastic from my hair and lean back
in my chair, watching her as she slowly continues to eat. I’m stalking every
move she makes, her fork goes to her mouth, her luscious lips wrap around the
fork as she bites on some eggs. I envision her lips wrapped around my cock. It
twitches in my pants. I’m now fully hard. I take a deep breath, biting my lip.
She knows what she’s doing. I can see her fighting her smile.
I feel she’s had enough, so I
stand from the table and scoop her up over my shoulder. She giggles and squeals
as I carry her off to our room. I place her down on the center of my black four
poster bed and warn, “Do not move.” I run to our closet to grab some straps to
tie her down with. First, I restrain her wrists, then I grab her right leg,
tying the strap around her thigh just above her knee. I attach the opposite end
of the strap to the post above her wrist strap. I repeat the same thing on the
other side.
Standing back, I admire my handy
work. She looks beautiful staring up at me from our huge bed. She’s excited and
nervous at the same time, but she’s seen enough. I slip my shirt up over her
eyes so she can no longer see. Her breathing has picked up and she whimpers
when she realizes what I’m doing. I whisper in her ear, “Shh, baby, I’ll always
take care of you. I promise.”
I wander toward the closet to
grab some toys, I ditch my lounge pants along the way, my cock fully erect,
pointing to my belly button. I take my time building up her anticipation. When
I finally get back she’s so excited her juices are dripping from her pussy down
to her ass, and it causes my cock to ache. I can’t wait to be buried deep
inside her, but first I need to taste her. Kneeling on the bed between her
legs, I slowly run my finger from her ankle up to the inside of her thigh. She
gasps when I don’t touch her wet, wanting pussy. Lowering myself, I press my
tongue to her anus and lick my way up through her folds to her hardened clit.
She tastes so damn good, I can’t get enough. I continue sucking and nibbling on
her clit as I work the tip of the butt plug into her ass to stretch her out.
She’s
whimpering and panting as I continue working her clit and her ass at the
same time. The sounds coming from her mouth turn me on so bad my balls throb.
Before I know it, she’s screaming my name and coming all over my tongue. I
press the plug in a bit further as she tries to squirm from my non-stop assault
on her clit.
“Stone, please,” she moans.
“Please?” I question. “Do you
want more?”
“Yes, I want to feel you inside
me.”
“Oh you will, trust me, baby. But
I’m still hungry for more.” Turning on her favorite vibrator, I slowly press it
inside her warm pussy and lower my lips to her clit.
“Oh my, God, Stone. It’s too
much,” she screams.
“Shh, just relax and enjoy,
baby.”
ME: Which actor/actress would you like to see playing the lead
character from your most recent book?
ALISON MELLO: For Stone...I think Chris Hemsworth would be good!
ME: While you were writing, do you ever feel as if you were one of
the characters?
ALISON MELLO: Sometimes sure and the reasons why are different with
each character
ME: When did you decide to become a writer?
ALISON MELLO: A little over two years ago.
ME: Which writers inspire you?
ALISON MELLO: E.L. James, Sylvia Day, Meredith Wild, K. Bromberg
and even many indie authors like Cory Cyr.
ME: Do you write on a typewriter, computer, dictate or
longhand?
ALISON MELLO: Computer
ME: Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer to just see
where an idea takes you?
ALISON MELLO: Oh no...I sit and let my characters take over.
ME: Do you read much and if so who are your favorite authors.
ALISON MELLO: I read a ton! Kindle Alexander, K. Bromberg, Heather
Dalhgren, Logan Chance. To be honest I'll read any author once. I love checking
out new indie authors.
ME: What book are you reading now?
ALISON MELLO: I just finished Mass Casualty by Derek Cromwell.
ME: Do you think that giving books away free works and why?
ALISON MELLO: Depends on how it was given away to be honest. I do
like offering a book for free to readers. It gives them a chance to see what I
have to offer, but if they take the freebie and tuck it away then no. TBR lists
are really long, so I think giving them away works best when they've had a
chance to interact with me, not just see an ad for my free book so they click
download.
ME: How do you relax?
ALISON MELLO: I don't...LOL...just kidding. My life is pretty
hectic so my relax time is usually at night when I read for about 20 minutes
before bed.
ME: What is your favorite quote?
ALISON MELLO: "Go big or go home." I'm an all-in type of
person. I will put my everything into whatever I'm doing.
ME: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
ALISON MELLO: Go for it! If you have a story in mind sit down and
write it. Hook up with authors you're friends with in the indie community and
ask for help. That's exactly how I got started. I had written four chapters
asked friends to read it and some authors helped me format it correctly.
ME: What does your writing process look like?
ALISON MELLO: I sit with a cup of coffee, review where I left off
and then I just start typing. I usually have a snack with me. Once the chapter
is finished it's uploaded to my google docs to back it up. There isn't much to
it.
ME: What is your least favorite part of the publishing / writing
process?
ALISON MELLO: The blurb! I suck at writing them. I LOVE that I have
people to help me. I haven't written my own blurb since Fighting for Love and
hopefully will never write one again.
ME: Is there a certain type of scene that's harder for you to write
than others? Love? Action? Racy?
ALISON MELLO: Action scenes can be tough but I think what gets hard
after a while is making sex scenes interesting and different.
ME: Did you learn anything from writing your book(s) and what was
it?
ALISON MELLO: Yes! Love Conquers Life and Once Broken both touch on
PTSD more so with the Once Broken Series and I had to do some research. I
learned that there are a lot of people and programs out there willing to help.
There are also self-help tools available to people suffering from PTSD.
ME: Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family
members.
ALISON MELLO: My street team Mello's Militia and my reader group
Alison's Army. Not to mention my PA and my two admins. My head betas reader
Karen has been by my side from just about the beginning and wouldn't be who I
am without each and every one of these woman in my life!
ME: Which famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and
why?
ALISON MELLO: Wow...I have a ton of people I would love to meet.
Rob Gronkowski from the New England Patriots. I have endless authors I'm dying
to meet, some of which I will finally get to in the coming months when I attend
signings.
ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to write about?
ALISON MELLO: Military! I have a new series releasing later this
year. It's a military romance, Lexi is former Army Medic medically discharged
and is trying to pull her life together.
ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to read?
ALISON MELLO: I have a few...not sure I could name one. Military,
Romantic Suspense, M/M I think top my list.
ME: What secret talents do you have?
ALISON MELLO: I can fire multiple guns and rifles.
ME: If you had a superpower, what would it be?
ALISON MELLO: I would heal those who suffer from PTSD. It's awful
to see people struggle with it.
ME: Where is one place you want to visit that you haven't been
before?
ALISON MELLO: Australia
