Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a happy, hard-working, and fun-loving author of erotic fiction living the seaside-cottage lifestyle in beautiful, sundrenched North Carolina. Ooh, I love my work! Sitting out on the deck, typing away at the sexploits of one randy couple after another (mmm!) … and all the while feeling my own tingles from the sun and the ocean breeze on my skin, the rhythmic pounding of the surf in my ears, and view after view of semi-naked bodies spread out before me … well, I absolutely cannot think of anything I’d rather do more (for a living, anyway)!
People often ask me if my stories are products of my imagination or life experience. Of course I answer “both!” However, I must add that even if a story is conceived purely in my rather dirty mind, it never goes to publication before being “tested” in the laboratory of real life. I’m dead serious! For starters, it’s a ton of fun and I love the texture and depth it gives to even my shortest tales.
Another question I’m often asked is: How did I come to be an author of erotic fiction? Well, when I was attending law school, one of my professors noticed right away that law was not a good fit for me. I admitted that I was here only to satisfy my parents’ expectations. So he sat me down and said, “JC, the secret to a great career and a great life is to take all the things you love to do, find a way to merger them together, and make that your work.”
So I un-enrolled my cute little butt out of law school pronto and rolled the top three loves of my life together – writing stories (which I’d been doing since I was in middle-school), living by the ocean (which I longed to do since middle school), and sex (which I’d been doing since …) – and here I am.
So that’s how I became what I am. But I also must say that, in addition to the pleasure I get from writing stories, I get an absolute thrill from knowing that, somewhere in the world, someone like you is getting some pleasure and perhaps a bit of titillation from reading them. So I think I’ll be doing this for a long time to come!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Come Surrender to the Night is Book #4 in my “The Billionaire and You” series. What inspired the entire series was the desire to give readers an experience in which they themselves were the woman in the story… and that the man they be with be the ultimate fantasy man!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Seriously, “field testing” many of my erotic ideas might qualify as unusual, though I would imagine that most authors in this genre do that!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Maggie Maloney’s “My Pace or Yours” and “Perhaps Some Other Time” are favorites in that they inspire me to write well and never forget the reader.
What are you working on now?
The fifth and final installment in “The Billionaire and You” series: “Come Fly with Me.”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Why, Awesome Gang, of course! Also, Wanton Reads.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
You have to absolutely LOVE to read and write… and you have to absolutely LOVE what it is you’re writing about.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Make ’em laugh.
Make ’em cry.
Make ’em wait.
What are you reading now?
Just finishing reading Maggie Maloney’s “Perhaps Another Time.”
What’s next for you as a writer?
A series titled “Bartering for Booty,” that features a spicy woman who leverages most things in life with everything from a quick feeling up, to stripteases, to full-blown, mind-blowing erotic fulfillment!
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
If I could only take 3 or 4, I would probably choose to go down with the ship!
