Hi Kelli! So happy to host you on my blog today - I don't think we've 'met' before so I'm looking forward to learning more about you and your work. Let's get started with the questions...
Rub Me the Right Way
1)
When and why did you decide
you wanted to be a published author?
I’m
not sure how this crazy ride started. I got a story stuck in my head one day. The
plot and characters kept me up nights. I continued adding to it, and finally
decided to write it down. The story ideas wouldn’t stop, so neither did I.
Eventually I began entering writing contests and getting agent and editor requests.
Sounds easy, but it wasn’t. I got plenty of rejections before my first
contract.
2) What is the best and worse thing you have learned from an
editor/agent?
I’ve done everything from
using the wrong words to misplacing commas to repeating the same word over and
over. I have learned so much about
grammar and punctuation as well as general dos and don’ts from editors I’ve
worked with. They make my writing better with each book.
3) Favourite author/s? I love
Janet Evanovich!!!!
4)
What is your typical day?
I don’t have typical “writing” days. I have a day job like everyone else. I
write, edit or do my social networking before work, on my lunch break, after
work and on my days off.
5)
Who would you cast to play
your hero & heroine in a movie?
My
story is so naughty I’d have to cast porn stars, but for fun probably Sandra
Bullock as Heather because she’s pretty but doesn’t know it. She’s amusing and
a bit self-deprecating about her life and looks. Tasha would be played by Renee
Zellweger and Dr. Simon…let’s just go crazy and cast Channing Tatum. Why not?
6)
Did you plan this book? Or
write it as it came?
I had a plan in my
head of where I wanted the story to go and how it would end. I wasn’t as sure
how to get there until I started writing. And for The Edge series, I needed to
get there in under 7000 words.
7)
What surprised you the most
when you became a published?
I’m not
sure what I expected out of being published. I just knew I wanted it and went
after publication like a pit bull. And I still get rejected sometimes.
8)
Do you have a dedicated
writing space? What does it look like?
I
like to write in bed. My room is decorated very romantically (but is usually
messy). But I’ll write anywhere…at work…in my car…on the couch.
9)
What’s next for you?
I
have a short vampire story titled Eternally Yours coming out later this month
with Decadent’s The Edge series. And next year my first ménage, titled Birthday
Bash, also in The Edge series will be released.
Blurb:
Heather
Bowen is an uptight, stressed out insomniac in desperate need of a massage or a
shrink or an orgasm to cure what ails her.
On
doctor’s orders, she starts with a massage to work out her knotty/naughty
kinks. At the hands of a talented massage therapist, Heather gets a full body
rub down. And more. Next stop—a psychiatrist to get at the root of her anxiety
and sleeplessness. But is she ready for Dr. Simon’s controversial treatment?
What
begins as prescribed therapy becomes a wild fantasy ride of erotic discovery
that makes Heather question her sexual orientation along with everything she
believed about her carnal desires.

Excerpt:
“You all ready, Heather?” Tasha called out, probably worried about
how long it took me to get undressed.
I shoved the drape of the dressing room aside. “Absolutely.”
She led me to the room across the hall as if through a slow motion
dream. She was that graceful and lithe and willowy. Tranquil sounds filled the
space. Waves lapping at a sandy beach.
She patted the massage table. “Up or down?”
“Excuse me?” I didn’t know there’d be a quiz.
Perusing the clipboard, she asked, “First massage?”
“That’s right.” Then couldn’t help but add, “I’m a massage
virgin.”
“Well, we’ll see what we can do to remedy that.” She smiled, not
taking my comment offensively, unless she was a really good actress. “Would you
like to start face up or down?”
“What do you recommend?” I stopped myself from repeating the
virgin reference.
She skimmed the clipboard again. “Lower back pain. Tense, knotted
muscles. Insomnia. Headaches. Stress. Let’s start face down.” Looking up from
my long list of afflictions, she asked, “Would you like me to step out while
you disrobe?”
Would that be rude? “Of course not.” I
scoffed. “We’re both women, right?”
Tasha turned her back, preparing her oils or instruments or
whatever. With her attention elsewhere, I slipped out of the robe, hung it on a
peg, and hopped on the table quick like The Flash, hauling the sheet over my
nakedness, which I still wasn’t sure was appropriate. Oh, well, what the hell?
She’d just have to deal with it. I planted my face in the face donut and
waited.
The acoustics transitioned into raindrops on a tin roof.
Occasionally a clap of friendly thunder rumbled in the distance to mix things
up. She positioned me like a rag doll, placing my arms at my sides on the
outside of the sheet.
“Comfortable?” she asked.
“Yes,” I mumbled.
I fixated on her delicate bare feet, her toenails painted a
fuchsia color. The fringe of her sarong nearly tickled the floor as she
gracefully glided around. A silver chain encircled her ankle. How I wished I
could be more like her. Free-spirited. Serene. Bohemian.
“Be sure to tell me if I rub too hard.” She rested her palms on my
skin, and I tensed.
“Okay.”
“Relax, Heather.”
“I am,” I protested.
About the Author:
Left for dead in an enchanted forest, Kelli was
raised by wolves, which explains her thick coat of fur and keen night vision.
As an adolescent, she was exiled from the pack due to her love of well-done
steak smothered in ketchup (her penchant for blackened beef has also caused her
ejection from several fine eateries). On her own, she roamed the streets,
eating from dumpsters and sleeping in abandoned dog houses. Cold, starving and
destitute, Kelli turned to the oldest profession—writing. Since her fall from
grace, she has penned several smutty stories for which she has received many
accolades. And despite her limited vocabulary, inability to punctuate properly
and her well-documented spelling disability, Kelli has collected some awards
(some of them for her writing). But what she wants most in the world is to
return to the enchanted forest and her pack. As soon as she figures out north
from south and east from west, she will do just that.
