So, Walker. 😊 He’s a bit of an a$$hole. I mean, he
tries to sell Blossom’s puppy for crying out loud! He’s grumpy, standoffish,
and so in need of a woman like Blossom it’s not even funny. Blossom is sweet
but in more trouble than she can handle. She’s looking for a protector. The
biggest, meanest biker she can find, and she chooses Walker. Unfortunately,
he’s not on board with her plan. Until he finds her bloodied and beaten… after
he was the one to run her off from the Tzars compound.
Who are some authors that you look for inspiration?
Harley Wylde is a big one. She’s my sister Changeling
author and I rely on her for A LOT. She’s always up for bouncing ideas up for
and offering sound advice in plot development when I ask. Pepper North, though
she’s a little outside my genre, I still love her Daddy Doms. Kresley Cole,
though, again, outside my genre with her paranormals. I love her more erotic
non paranormal Game Maker series. Lots of hot, erotic love scenes.
If someone were to narrate your life, who would you want the narrator to be and why?
Morgen Freeman or James Earl Jones. Maybe Sam
Elliot. I mean, what’s not to love about any of them?? SEXY AS F*CK!!
Which of your characters would you want to share a
campfire with, and why?
Brick from Iron Tzars. He’s a big ole teddy bear. With fangs and claws. I’d say his bite is definitely worse than his bark, but he’s fiercely protective of anyone he considers his.
Tell us about what you are reading at the moment or
anticipate reading in the future?
Ghostly Game by Christine Feehan, Daddy Dominic and
Saving Daddy both by Layla Roberts, and Atilla and Maui both from Savage
Raptors MC by Harley Wylde.
How long did it take you to get your rough draft finished on your latest release?
Hum…
about a month? I mean, that’s start to finish. Plotting, planning, writing. It
actually took me about a week and a half of hard writing to complete it.
Do you have a favorite quote from your book(s)?
“If
a woman tells you she’s fine, she’s anything but.”
I’ve
used it more than once but it’s true enough it needs to be repeated.
What led you to becoming an author?
When I was in the 3rd grade,
our reading teacher had us write a Halloween story. I used kids in my class as
the characters and where everyone else’s story was a couple of paragraphs, mine
was a page and a half. 😊 My teacher read
it to the class and I was SO EMBARASSED! But I never forgot. I knew then I
wanted to be a writer, I just had no idea how to go about it. Thankfully, I
figured it out. lol
What was the inspiration behind your latest/upcoming book, Walker: Iron Tzars MC? What sparked the idea?
Walker is a hunter. He has dogs called
Walker Treeing Coonhounds. Walker… is my husband. 😊 I wanted desperately to have him on
the cover of the book but couldn’t get a good enough picture to work with. (a
photographer I ain’t.) Grant it, my husband is anything but the a$$hole Walker
is, but I patterned that character after him.
I believe in romance. Not necessarily flowers and mushy stuff, but real,
true love. Men should be caring and protective and the gruff side of them is
sexy as f*ck. I want to write characters that have soft spots only for their
women, children, and those they consider theirs. (And only somewhat on that last
thing. Most of their soft spots are reserved for their woman and kids.)
What types of books do you enjoy reading in your spare time? What books are on your summer TBR stack?
First of all… spare time? WTF?? 😊 I just quit my day job so I get to be
a fulltime writer. Which is only about 1/3 writing and 2/3s everything else.
But I read outside my main genre to reset my brain. I don’t really have a TBR
pile so much as whimsical buys I may or may not read. I do most of my reading
at night after I go to bed. It’s my time to reset my brain and get ready for a
new day. 😊
What’s next for you, do you have any exciting projects coming up? Are you writing another book?
Once I finish up on Rage, the next book
in the Iron Tzars MC world, I’ll be writing another erotica book under the pen
name Wanda Violet O. (Yes, she’s as bad as she sounds.) She writes monster
erotica and Daddy Dom erotica. Currently, her main character focus is on a
woman named Isabella who goes by Kitten to her Daddy. At Christmas, she found
out she was pregnant, so she needs a book about what happens next. Then I’ll
move on to the next MC book.
Also, my newsletter recipients are
getting a treat. A brand new MC book with never before seen characters. The
series is called Aces & Eights MC. The first book is Forge. It’s FREE to
everyone who gets my newsletters and comes out one chapter/episode per week
until the book is complete. Then the completed novella will be available for 99
cents.

Blossom -- My life is about as complicated as it can get. To fulfill his political aspirations, my stepfather has decided to sell me to a man who can take him to the governor’s seat. He’s always been abusive, demanding I be perfect in public, silent in private, and obey him in all things. After we moved to Evansville, Indiana, I spent months trying to find the perfect protector, looking for the biggest, bravest, meanest man I could find. Then I meet Walker from the motorcycle club, Iron Tzars. He’s everything I need, everything I want, and nothing I can handle. But he’s the one. And I’m determined for him to make me his.
Walker -- I’m emotionally unavailable, a mean bastard on the best of days. Serving my country as a Dog Handler for the Army, finding explosives meant to kill my fellow soldiers and innocent people, left me with emotional scars I never thought I’d get over. I lost my fiancée, my partner, and my ability to empathize with anything. Hell, I even refused to name the dog that took up with me and refused to leave, simply calling her Dog. Then this lost little waif worms her way into a compound full of hardasses who never allow outsiders. Of all the men in this club, the little fool sets her sights on me. Time to set her straight. Only, I might have gone too far. If Blossom doesn’t survive this, it’s on me. And I might have accidentally fallen for her.
WARNING: Graphic violence, adult situations, and references to human trafficking and domestic abuse that may be triggers for some readers. Features a grumpy hero and a feisty heroine. Eventual happy ending and NO cheating, as always.
