ME: Hi BSM STONEKING,
thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself and
your background?
BSM STONEKING: I'm originally from a very small town in Iowa. No
stop lights in our town and the speed limit is 20 mph, but it's the best place
anyone could live in this flyover state!
During the day I run a dog
grooming business and at night I write my stories, but not before playing
"housewife" and getting dinner ready. I've been with my hubby since
we were 16 and he is truly my prince charming, I couldn't ask for a better man!
I'm really big on forcing myself
to step out of my comfort zone. That force is the only reason I am where I am
today, or I would be stuck in a mindset of "I don't like change". By
stepping out of my box I always find something new to write about, like jumping
out of an airplane for example.
One thing I would want someone to
know about me is that, occasionally I can be very quiet. It's not that I'm shy,
I'm just observing. I like to adjust my personality to fit yours. If you're
silly, bubbly, and corky that is the best version of me, but if you want to
have an intelligent conversation, I'm all for learning new things and giving
insight to things I'm confident on, like sex. Sex it my comfort topic. Let's
talk about ways to spice up a relationship, and the new toys to try. If I'm
super comfortable around you, you'll know it because I have the mouth of a
ME: What genre do you write?
BSM STONEKING: BDSM Romance, Supernatual Erotica, and 2 finger, 1
hand short stories
ME: What are you working on at the minute?
BSM STONEKING: Lena's Security - Day 3, and book 3 to my Vampires
Ange De La Mort series
ME: Can you share a little of your current work with us?
BSM STONEKING: This isn't edited in the slightest, but here is a
small teaser from book 3 of The Vampires Ange De La Mort:
“Wait a moment,” Dynasty says
with a smooth voice. She’s been trying to circulate a calming feeling with her
energy to keep the inner weres at bay, but it’s no longer working on Wes and
Zev. “If we can’t pick up their scent, there has got to be a reason why. What
if they are on a plane?”
“First off,” Wes gets in
Dynasty’s face, “if they were at an airport we would fucking know. Second, how
the fuck could they be storing hundreds of teens on a plane?” He taps the side
of Dynasty’s head with his index finger. “Use your fucking brain woman!”
Dynasty’s eyes flicker blue, her
hand instantly shifts as she wraps her clawed hands around Wes’s neck. In less
than a blink, she has him pinned up against a wall with his feet dangling in
the air. “I am trying to help you, mutt! Put your hands on me again and you
won’t live to see your son returned!”
ME: Which actor/actress would you like to see playing the lead
character from
your most recent book?
BSM STONEKING: For Capture's Temperance, I would love to have
Victoria Justice play Temperance! I still can't find the perfect guy to play
Capture, but I
ME: While you were writing, do you ever feel as if you were one of
the characters?
BSM STONEKING: More than any other character, I feel myself in
Temperance. A lot of her story is my own personal struggles and the discovery
of how BDSM is more than just a kink or fetish, it could actually save
someone’s live. I can also greatly relate to Dallas from my vampire series. His
multi-personality really matches me. I like to say I'm a chameleon, I will
adjust my personality to fit yours.
ME: When did you decide to become a writer?
BSM STONEKING: I've been writing stories since I was a kid, but I
never could have predicted I would be where I am today, having people love my
stories enough to keep asking for more and doing book signings. It's all crazy,
but in the best way!
ME: Which writers inspire you?
BSM STONEKING: Every author who can write a series without it going
bland.
ME: Do you write on a typewriter, computer, dictate or longhand?
BSM STONEKING: I use the computer, my phone (mostly for saving
thoughts), and I frequently use good old-fashioned paper.
ME: Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer to just see
where an idea takes you?
BSM STONEKING: I'm a fly by the seat kinda gal. I listen to my
characters, even if I'm not happy with the direction they want to take me. I
was once told if you fight your character you'll hit writers block. I'm
knocking on wood as I admit, I've never had writers block.
ME: Do you read much and if so who are your favorite authors.
BSM STONEKING: I truly wish I had more time for reading. Often
times when I do read it's something educational. I'm currently on a kick of
reading books about body language. What Every Body Is Saying by Joe Navarro has
been the best so far.
ME: What book are you reading now?
BSM STONEKING: I'm on pause for reading at the moment and when that
happens I pick up my Edgar Allan Poe, Complete Tales and Poems book.
ME: Do you think that giving books away free works and why?
BSM STONEKING: I think if you don't go overboard, it's a good idea,
because it helps new readers find you.
ME: How do you relax?
BSM STONEKING: Watch the idiot box for a while. During the summer I
like to sit in the sun and read.
ME: What is your favorite quote?
BSM STONEKING: You don't marry the person you can live with, you
marry the one you can't live without.
I also love the quote, she who
dies with the most shoes win! :D
ME: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
BSM STONEKING: Oh my gosh the advice I could give could shut down
the internet because of how long this would be. My top suggestion would be to
finish three stories before publishing your first one. You'll learn a lot about
yourself as a writer by not being over ambitions to hit the publish button.
ME: What does your writing process look like?
BSM STONEKING: Shoveling glitter into a rainbow. AKA a bit of a
wreck. I have no real process other than, "paper, meet pen...let's create
a story".
ME: What is your least favorite part of the publishing / writing
process?
BSM STONEKING: Trying to figure out where the heck all those
punctuation marks go. I'm truly terrible with spelling, grammar, and
punctuation so I greatly rely on a good editor!
ME: Is there a certain type of scene that's harder for you to write
than others? Love? Action? Racy?
BSM STONEKING: Hmmm, maybe action. I want my fight scene to play
out like a movie and finding the right words to bring the vision to life in the
readers mind can be challenging.
ME: Did you learn anything from writing your book(s) and what was
it?
BSM STONEKING: While writing Capture's Temperance, I learned a lot
about pushing my own personal limits, because I wanted to fully try everything
before I wrote it in the book. One example would be e-stim, like the electric
paddle that is in that book.
ME: Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family
members.
BSM STONEKING: My readers!
ME: Which famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and
why?
BSM STONEKING: Jesus is famous, right? I'd like to meet him and get
the real dets on this religious "stuff".
ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to write about?
BSM STONEKING: Supernatural! There is so much you can do with
things that don't really exist, and yet we can't help but let the imagination
wonder, what if they did exist
ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to read?
BSM STONEKING: True crime
ME: What secret talents do you
have?
BSM STONEKING: I can talk like a chipmunk.
ME: If you had a superpower, what would it be?
BSM STONEKING: The power to heal others.
ME: Where is one place you want to visit that you haven't been
before?
BSM STONEKING: Australia!! My
hubby and I are certified scuba divers and we really want to dive the Great
Barrie Reef.
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.
BSM STONEKING:
ME: Is there anything else you would like to add that I haven’t
included?
BSM STONEKING: Glitter is my favorite color; :-P
ME: Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy
schedule to take part in this interview.
BSM STONEKING: Thank you for offering to share all of this on your
blog. That is very kind of you <3
MY REVIEW: Lena's Security: I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily giving my honest opinion. This is a new to me author and I am glad I got the chance to read her work. This book is very short almost like a one scene read but with that being said it is a smoking hot one scene, the idea of being caught for real is what makes it that much hotter. My only issue is that its a great plot and the author could have done more with the story line making the book longer. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a 30 minute quick hot read.
MY REVIEW: Lena's Security Day 2: I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily giving my honest opinion. This is book 2 in the series and picks up where book 1 ends and tells the story of the next day at work for Lena and her two security guards. Again this is a quick but so hot 15 minute read and is perfect if you are looking for a short one really hot and steamy scene.
