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

ME: How can readers discover more about you and you work? i.e. Website: Blog: Facebook: Twitter: Lnkedin: Pinterest: Amazon Author Page: Smashwords: Book Links: (* American, UK, etc.) Goodreads. Please include links or email them to me at vicber02@gmail.com

ME: Is there anything else you would like to add that I haven’t included?

Meet the Author - JAMES CROW


Welcome all

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing James Crow author of SIX, SIX TOY, DARE & FOR HER SINS

ME:  Hi James, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself and your background? 
JAMES CROW: I’m from the UK and live in the middle of nowhere, which is ideal for outdoor dares and naked horse riding. But not so good for most bites on the balls.

ME: What genre do you write?
JAMES CROW: Hot and kinky. Hot and funny. Hot and dark. I’m working my way through all the hotness!

ME: What are you working on at the minute?
JAMES CROW: I’ve just finished working on For Her Sins, a rather funny and kinky erotic fantasy. To be released Oct 22, 2017

ME: Can you share a little of your current work with us?
JAMES CROW: Here’s the blurb for ‘FOR HER SINS’:
When you believe your greatest wish could never come true because your ass is too big, your confidence low, and even the world’s most flexible contortionists couldn’t pull off your filthy fantasy, you need to be careful what you wish for – especially when the Devil himself hears your bidding. 


ME: Which actor/actress would you like to see playing the lead character from your most recent book?
JAMES CROW: Christina Rici would make a great Kirsty in FOR HER SINS. She’s filthy, wicked, and gorgeous. Yeah, she could dance well with the Devil.

ME: While you were writing, do you ever feel as if you were one of the characters?
JAMES CROW: Yeah, pretty much like an actor does, I suppose. You try to get into character, which can be weird when you become a 25-year-old woman playing with a cucumber

ME: When did you decide to become a writer?
JAMES CROW: I don’t think one decides to become a writer. If the voices are there, in your head, then yeah, you’re always a writer.

ME: Which writers inspire you?
JAMES CROW: Stephen King for his storytelling prowess, and Jade West for her expertise in high-conflict filth.

ME: Do you write on a typewriter, computer, dictate or longhand?
JAMES CROW: Computer every time. I need the speed.

ME: Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer to just see where an idea takes you?
JAMES CROW: Always outline, laying down the mileposts.

ME: Do you read much and if so who are your favorite authors.
JAMES CROW: As above: Stephen King and Jade West. And I’m not opposed to having a nibble at Isabella Starling. I like her filthy mind.

ME: What book are you reading now?
JAMES CROW: BAIT by Jade West – high conflict dark erotica at its best. 


ME: Do you think that giving books away free works and why?
JAMES CROW: Yes, it works because it expands your readership. Simple really.

ME: How do you relax?
JAMES CROW: Wine, women, and song. And wine. Then more wine. But now and then, when the mood is right, I do like to lick at the green fairy and take a sensual high – the best rides ever!

ME: What is your favorite quote?
JAMES CROW: “Remember that when you judge a book, the book is also judging you.” Stephen King.

ME: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
JAMES CROW: Read – a lot. Write – a lot. Repeat.

ME: What does your writing process look like?
JAMES CROW: It begins with a messy doc of scribble, which turns into notes, which turns into scenes, which turns into story – eventually.

ME: What is your least favorite part of the publishing / writing process?
JAMES CROW: Social media …. Knowing how to work it. My nut-job mind finds it all difficult to navigate. Thankfully, my awesome PA Michelle McGinty’s sweet ass knows how to work it well, so she pulls my strings among other things. Oh, and she’s hot when she’s stern with me, which is pretty much every hour of every day  :D

ME: Is there a certain type of scene that's harder for you to write than others?
Love? Action? Racy?
JAMES CROW: Nope, whether I’m licking a clit or pegging a Dom or simply having a cup of tea – it’s all the same process of creation.

ME: Did you learn anything from writing your book(s) and what was it?
JAMES CROW: That I love to create something that someone else can enjoy, even be moved or changed by it. I’ve had many encouraging emails from readers thanking me because they’ve moved forward after reading my books. Oh, I also
learned how to carve vegetables and execute the shotgun.

ME: Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family members.
JAMES CROW: The entity that is my crowgirls readers group. They’re nuts. They’re lovely. Such a great, supportive bunch. I love ’em.

ME: Which famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and why?
JAMES CROW: Derren Brown – his skills of word play and manipulation are similar to those employed in writing. That said, I’d like to ask him why he can’t write for toffee.

ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to write about?
JAMES CROW: Filthy, erotic kink-fuckery, of course

ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to read?
JAMES CROW: As above but with a bit of supernatural horror thrown in.

ME: What secret talents do you have?
JAMES CROW: I once played trumpet in an orchestra for a filmed ‘event’. The entire orchestra was standing naked in a swimming pool receiving BJ’s from girls dressed as mermaids. I remember the milky water at the end. Is that a talent? I also have a talent for lying.

ME: If you had a superpower, what would it be?
JAMES CROW: Ohhh, how about an orgasmic glare? One wink from me and your pussy gushes!! Or how about shooting webbing from my palms like Spiderman… imagine getting stick with the jiggy!

ME: Where is one place you want to visit that you haven't been before?
JAMES CROW: Outer space for sex. Even if it’s just a ride in the vomit comet – you know that plane that flies high then suddenly dives and you experience weightlessness – I’d like to fuck like that.

ME: How can readers discover more about you and you work? i.e. Website: Blog: Facebook: Twitter: Lnkedin: Pinterest: Amazon Author Page: Smashwords: Book Links: (* American, UK, etc.) Goodreads. Please include

Meet The Author - K.L. HUMPHREYS:


Welcome all.

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing K.L. Humphreys author of:
Deadly Hunt
Deadly Obsession 

Deadly Past <--- TBR next month

ME: Hi K.L. Humphreys, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself and your background?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: I was born in London, England but now lives in Ireland with the love of my life and her baby girl. In a way, the world has him to thank for my Debut Novel Deadly Hunt. After years of thinking about writing the story that had been dying to get out of my head, I finally confided in my other half. He gave me all the encouragement I needed to get the story out, he has been with me every step of the way.
     I love music, especially pop, R'n'B and rap and if I’m writing you will find it playing somewhere nearby. I also love all romance novels but of course, Romantic Suspense is my go to genre. When I’m not writing it...it's a good bet I am curled up somewhere reading it. If I don’t have a book in my hand, you might want to check to make sure I’m not sick.

ME: What genre do you write?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: Romantic Suspense 


ME: What are you working on at the minute?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: On three things at the moment, although one is a top secret, that only 4 people know about. So, Deadly Encounter, is book 4 of The Deadly Series and I’m also writing a Contemporary Second chance romance.

ME: Can you share a little of your current work with us?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: This isn't edited, so be warned it's rough!!
“That cheeky fucker, calling you a whore. When his brother is raking it in, playing fucking football while you provide for his child. Oh that family, they have no decency.” She’s almost shouting and I know that if I try and calm her down, she’ll just get angrier. “Oh god, did you see that witch?”
I know exactly who she’s talking about and thankfully I didn’t. “No and I’m glad that I didn’t, I’m not sure I would have kept my cool.”
“Good, so who was it that was there? Was it their dad? I don’t really know him.” She’s not going to let this lie.
“No, the dad wasn’t there.” She looks at me expectantly, and I take a deep breath and tell her “It was Hunter that was there.” 

She’s on her feet, “That bastard was there? What did he say? Did he talk to you?” She’s visibly shaking with her temper.
“Yes, he called me a conniving piece of work. Look Stef, he’ll be on his way back to Devon soon and we can all forget about him.” Even though I want it to sound convincing, I fail and I know I do.
“Cut the shit Jess, I know that you still love him, and I know that he absolutely
destroyed you when he left. And as for that bitch of a mother of his, oh I’d love to get my hands on her.” She’s making fists and if Hunter’s mum was here, Stef would go for her.
“I know he destroyed me, and I know that no matter what happens, he chose this not me. Seeing him again not only brought back all those feelings, it brought up the anger I have at him abandoning his child. Not that he even had the balls to tell me himself, he got the she-bitch to do it for him. The coward.” I pick up my half-full glass and down it, talking about Hunter makes me emotional and I don’t like it.
“He did what?” I hear and look towards the door and see Owen standing there looking furious. “Tell me I heard you wrong.” 

“No, you heard right, Hunter is a coward who got his mother to break up with his pregnant girlfriend. Hell, he told her to get an abortion because he doesn’t want a child with scum.” Stef informs Owen and I pour myself vodka, there isn’t much left and this was almost a full bottle when we started.
“I’m going to kill him, who the fuck does he think he’s talking to?” Owen walks over to the coffee table and picks up the bottle of vodka and drinks it straight from the bottle. “So he told you to get rid, does he know that Emme was born?”
“Yes, I told him. The day that she was born I called him like I did every day of my pregnancy to tell him that I didn’t do as he asked and kept the baby. Anyway, he didn’t answer so I left a voicemail and I also texted him. But I got no reply.” I drink again, I know I shouldn’t drink this much, but it’s numbing the pain and
right now that’s all I care about.

ME: Which actor/actress would you like to see playing the lead character from your most recent book?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: Megan Fox and Chris Pine to Play Morgan and Luke in Deadly Past.

ME: While you were writing, do you ever feel as if you were one of the characters?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: Kind of, it's more like you’re there watching them, going through every single emotion that they do. But with Deadly Encounter, I feel as though I'm Skye, I don't know why, maybe it's because, she's been with me for a long time. 


ME: When did you decide to become a writer?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: The beginning of 2016. It wasn't until I talked to my Boyfriend in March or April of 2016, that i started to write.

ME: Which writers inspire you?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: Wow, so many.. Karen Rose and Nora Roberts, they fill most of my bookshelves.
But, Emma Hart, Jodi Ellen Malpas and Kristen Ashley... Those women, are definitely some of my favorite Authors, because their books always and I mean always get to me. They're the ones I go back and re-read. Even during the re-read I still get all the feels!

ME: Do you write on a typewriter, computer, dictate or longhand? 

K.L. HUMPHREYS: My Laptop, or if I’m not home I’ll use the Google Docs app on my phone

ME: Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer to just see where an idea takes you?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: Both. I'll write out an outline and have it mapped out, then it'll just get thrown out the window when I just run with an idea, I'll end up sitting, staring at the screen wondering where the hell that came from.

ME: Do you read much and if so who are your favorite authors.
K.L. HUMPHREYS: I try to, I love reading, and it's something that makes every author happy, reading and writing, it's a part of who we are. My fav authors, wow, okay, so Emma Hart, JEM, KA, JK Rowling, Karen Rose wow there are way too many to name. 


ME: What book are you reading now?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: I'm currently doing a re-read of Knight by Kristen Ashley!

ME: Do you think that giving books away free works and why?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: I'm not sure, I just had a sale, I put Deadly Hunt up for Free and Deadly Obsession as 99c, over 1,000 copies of Deadly Hunt was downloaded. I'm hoping that even if a third loved Deadly Hunt, that they would then go on and buy Deadly Obsession and hopefully any other book I write.

ME: How do you relax?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: I love spending time with my family, we're really close and talk to each other every day! My sister is my best friend. Also, my Boyfriend and my baby girl, just being around people you love and who loves you, really makes me relaxed. 


ME: What is your favorite quote?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us, but those that win battles we know nothing about.

ME: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: Do it, it's so worth it. Even the bad days. Not everyone is going to like the stories you tell, but those do, they are what makes it worth all the tears.

ME: What does your writing process look like?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: A mess. I always write two books at once, that way when I get stuck on one of them, I go to the other one. I tend to write more of one than the other, but they all get written in the end. I have so many notebooks and scraps of paper that have notes and outlines jotted down on them.

ME: What is your least favorite part of the publishing / writing process?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: Waiting for my Beta readers to get back to me, because even though it’s really only a few days, it feels like forever. That and when I hit publish, I start to panic, what if everyone actually hates it.

ME: Is there a certain type of scene that's harder for you to write than others? Love? Action? Racy?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: Yes, sex scenes. Mine always seem like a teenager wrote them.

ME: Did you learn anything from writing your book(s) and what was it?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: Yes, that the more you write, the better you get.

ME: Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family members.
K.L. HUMPHREYS: My friends, I met so many great friends through the book world and they have all been so supportive.

ME: Which famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and why?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: I'd love to meet J.K. Rowling. I'm a massive Potterhead. Her books, they made my childhood and teenage years, hell, I’ll still read them to this day.

ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to write about?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: Romance. I love romance, I love having that happy ever after.

ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to read? 

K.L. HUMPHREYS: Romance, but any form of Romance... So Dark, Fantasy, Suspense, Contemporary.

ME: What secret talents do you have?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: I don't really have any lol

ME: If you had a superpower, what would it be?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: I'd love to be able to read minds, especially if I was around my fav authors, I’d love to see into their minds.

ME: Where is one place you want to visit that you haven't been before?
K.L. HUMPHREYS: America

***Coming Soon***
 Deadly Past
Book 3 of the Deadly Series

Friends with Benefits. Simple, right?
No strings.
No complications.
And definitely no pesky feelings.

On that, Morgan Yates and Luke Dallas agree. Until they don't.

Morgan makes the monumental mistake of falling in love with Luke and walking away may be the hardest thing she ever has to do. After all, she did move here to start living life on her terms, and to make a name for herself as a new Police Detective.

While Luke is too busy worrying about his past, she needs to start moving towards to her future.

Luke can deny it all he wants, but he knows Morgan is it for him. He also knows he screwed up big time by letting her walk away, but he’s too stubborn to let go of the past and see what is right in front of him. Doing whatever it takes to get her back may just be the bravest thing he ever does.

But when Luke's past catches up with him, will Morgan be the one who pays the ultimate price?

Meet the Author - JESS HANEY AND S.I. HAYES


Welcome all,

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing S.I. Hayes and Jess Haney author of:

ME: Hi Ladies, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself and your background?
S.I. and JESS: This is kind of funny because when we first started writing A County Fair Romance everyone thought we lived close to one another but that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm (Jess) a Kentucky gal through and through
much like our Fallon. Where I'm (S.I.) from Connecticut transplanted into Ohio. With Jess being a country gal and me being a Yankee we figured that it would be interesting to see how our different backgrounds and views would transpire on the page with two characters in love.

ME: What genre do you write?
S.I. and JESS: A little of this and a little of that. Jess writes what we like to call Real-Life Romance. It touches those iffy topics that some hate to talk about. So, together we make sure to keep with it. S.I. writes Erotica, Horror, Fantasy and the list just keeps growing. 


ME: What are you working on at the minute?
S.I. and JESS: Oh Jesus let's see...
JESS: I am working on A Heart Strings Love Affair book
three, Hudson's
Brothers PI book 2 as well as couple other projects.
S.I.: I am not working on anything on her own but together we are working on A County Fair Romance book five, A Sex, Drugs & Rock book four, Working Class Beauties book two, Love at Rincon Point, Under His Skin, and Kincaid Falls.
Damn that's a lot of books but hey it keeps the readers happy, right?

ME: Can you share a little of your current work with us?
 S.I. and JESS: Harvest time, six babies, a senior and pregnant again for the
Blackthorne/Hopkins Clan. That’s not counting business expansions, wedding plans, and Justin and Fallon learning the roles of their new lives. When you tie all that into one. This group is in for on hell of a Fall.

ME: Which actor/actress would you like to see playing the lead character from your most recent book?
S.I. and JESS: Jason Moma for Steve and Dove Cameron for Crystal. 


ME: While you were writing, do you ever feel as if you were one of the characters?
S.I. and JESS: All the time. We have to get into the head space of the character just to write them.

ME: When did you decide to become a writer?
S.I. HAYES I've literally been telling stories since I learned to talk. I wrote my first short story when I was seven.
JESS: Lord I'm always telling stories. In school, we were always told to write short stories and what's funny is I also wrote about a haunted house and I can scary stuff.

ME: Which writers inspire you?
JESS: I love Alice Clayton, A.M. Willard and most diffidently Louisa May Alcott. If it wasn't for Little Women I'd still hate reading.  There are plenty of authors but these are who I say when asked who I'd suggest.
S.I.:  Anne Rice. Dean Koontz, Margaret Wies, Douglas Adams, and Adam
Leak.

ME: Do you write on a typewriter, computer, dictate or longhand?
S.I. and JESS: We both use the computer as well as dictate.

ME: Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer to just see where an idea takes you?
S.I. and JESS: We've tried to outline and plot but the characters always do what they want and we just have to go with the flow.

ME: What book are you reading now?
S.I.: I'm not reading anything at the moment.
JESS: Right now, I'm reading or well listening to Hollywood Dirt by Alessandra
Torre getting ready for the movie to come on Passionflix.

ME: Do you think that giving books away free works and why?
S.I. and JESS: We do because usually that's how we get new readers.

ME: How do you relax?
S.I. and JESS: What's that?


ME: What is your favorite quote?
S.I.: We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars - Oliver Wilde
JESS: Have I gone Mad? I'm afraid so. You're entirely Bonkers. But I'll tell you a Secret, All The Best People Are. - Alice In Wonderland

ME: What advice would you give to aspiring writers? 

S.I. and JESS: Have faith and remember it doesn't happen overnight.

ME: What does your writing process look like?
S.I. and JESS: Notebooks, Calendars, Spreadsheets, and OMG the bickering LOL

ME: What is your least favorite part of the publishing / writing process?
S.I. and JESS: Publishing because that's where editing, formatting, covers and all that fun junk come into place.

ME: Is there a certain type of scene that's harder for you to write than others? 

Love? Action? Racy?
S.I.: Humorous, I can't write funny shit just to be funny.
JESS: I hate sexual scenes but I can write them.

ME: Did you learn anything from writing your book(s) and what was it?
S.I. and JESS: Life happens you just have to pick the pieces and keep going.

ME: Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family members.
S.I. and JESS: That's the great thing about writing with a partner you always have somebody who is there to support your work.

ME: Which famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and why?
JESS: Mine would be a fiction character, Sig from Guardians of Grigori by S.I.
S.I.: Jason Moma because I'd love to see if he could really break the bed.

ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to write about?
S.I.: When I'm writing with Jess I'm just along for the ride and when I'm writing alone I never know what direction my stories will unfold. So, I can't pick a genre because I never know where is going to lie.
JESS: I like writing about things that happen every day. I'm always adding a new social issue that I feel needs to be touched.

ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to read?
JESS: Romance.
S.I.: Paranormal. 


ME: What secret talents do you have?
JESS: Honestly, I don't have any.
S.I.: I can't not disclose that information and have this interview stay PG.

ME: If you had a superpower, what would it be?
JESS: I'd like to be able to know everything so that I can cure cancer, autism and the stuff that they are still researching.
S.I.: I'd like to be able to fly because traveling would be easier.

ME: Where is one place you want to visit that you haven't been before?
JESS: Scotland, Rome, you name anywhere but here and I want to see it.
