1) What kind of music do you like?
I like a mix of
Jazz, Instrumental and Rock, depending on my mood. A child of the early 80’s I
love Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Pretenders… all that good stuff.
2) Describe your dream home…
What a great
question! I think it would be anywhere on the ocean and has to be warm, so
Caribbean or Hawaii or Bora Bora. I picture a sprawling open air house, with
high vaulted ceilings, and a breezy tropical décor. And of course — a killer
bathroom, open to the outdoors with tropical flowers and the sound of the
ocean. Something like Lawrence’s place in Hawaii (Academy of Love). J
3) Favorite literary hero & heroine?
Jane Eyre and Mr.
Rochester.
4) What are you reading
now?
I’ve got a
bunch on the go on my Kindle. Here’s what I’ve got lined up currently: Sleeping
With Paris (Juliete Sobanet), Take Me (J. Kenner), While We Were Watching
Downton Abbey (Wendy Wax), Grand Slam (Lucy Felthouse and Lily Harlem)and
Revenge(Jasmine Haynes).
5) How many books have your written? Which is your favourite?
I’ve written
ten books, not all are published yet, but will be soon. Picking a favorite is
like picking your favorite child a bit. J If I had to name just one, then it would have to be SAIL AWAY WITH
ME, not only the setting and the
sizzling sex scenes, but secondary characters were a blast to write.
6) What comes first, plot or characters?
I’d like to say
plot, but they sort of come at once. As soon as I get a hint of a plot I can
see the hero and heroine plain as day in my imagination. Then I start pondering
the more complex issues of the story.
7) Do you ever suffer from writer’s block?
Fingers and toes
crossed – lucky so far not to suffer from it.
8) Twitter or Facebook? Why?
Twitter, it’s
fast and up to minute so I can follow many feeds at once and quickly retweet.
10) What’s next for you?
I’m busy
finishing up several books and have a few great ideas for new stories I’m just
starting on. Keep your eyes open for BRIDE UNDONE, release Summer 2014 with
Ellora’s Cave. It’s about A bride who take “I DO” to a whole new level – just
not with the groom. BIMINI BOUND AND HOT AS HADES should be ready for
publication soon!
Thanks so much
for having me, great questions!
Best,
Kate

Note to my readers:
There
is nothing quite as exciting as a first love and nothing quite as painful as
it’s ending. It’s a theme I think many readers can relate to in the heroine and
the hero of this story, Cassianna and Lawrence. And the proper girl’s boarding
school is something I can relate to from first hand experience. And I can
assure you there is nothing prim and proper about what goes on between Lawrence
and Cassianna at the Academy!
What
happens when ex lovers meet years later -- will the attraction burn as hot? Or
will it be scorching?
EROTIC GOES OLD SCHOOL in ACADEMY OF LOVE….
Their
love sizzled until he broke her heart when he left her with no explanation. She
abandoned her riding dreams and left the Academy with no plans to ever return.
When the two lovers are reunited at the Academy, they discover their attraction
is unrelenting and sex even hotter than before. Conflicted by her deep sexual
desire for him burned by their painful past, Cassianna convinces herself to
give into their passion. Just once. No strings attached.
Cassianna
and Lawrence play with fire when they reunite and find out the sex is red hot.
Careful! Don’t get burned as you turn the pages of their sexy journey.
