Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Writing is a passion, an escape, and a stress reliever from my daily routine. In addition to working on a full time writing career I own and operator of an adult boutique (http://nyceandnawty.com), as well as host a weekly live stream “Nyce & Naughtie Hour (http://www.youtube.com/c/NyceNNaughtie).
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Naughty Notions Vol. 1 is a collection of erotic, humorous, and heartbreaking short stories.
As an aspiring author I’ve cut my teeth writing flash and short fiction. This was especially helpful when the dreaded writer’s block invaded my mental space, and served my muse with a temporary eviction. Like reinventing the wheel it occurred to me that I needn’t have a tome of 1,000+ pages in order to offer something substantial to the readership. My offering needed to be creative, moving, and enjoyable to read while showing my passion for writing. Thus Naughty Notions was born.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Do you have any unusual writing habits:
Ok, this stays between us. After a particularly bad writing drought followed by a deluge of ideas (too many ideas is as bad as none) I began keeping a scrapbook of ideas, a kind of insurance policy against both. If my characters stalked me; harassed me to the point of drafting a rough outline to exercise them from my mind, they usually get a story. However, an idea unused initially is still valuable. I consider these deposits for storylines to come.

“CYNN FULL BOYS”
When former state comptroller Theo Belarus reports to the medical unit of Gruenwald Prison for his first examination, he encounters a woman who is ruthless, manipulative, and seductive as sin. Though jaded by a system that betrayed him, Theo is unnerved to learn of the unique services the prison provides, and of the sultry doctor who dominates all, especially the Warden.
Suspicious yet intrigued by Dr. Cynn Blakemore’s offer to assign him to a “Special Block”, spared from the common nightmares of prison life, Theo hesitates. Scapegoated and unjustly convicted in a government corruption scandal, a small fortune to claim for his silence after parole, Theo realizes that free will is the only thing of value he has left to bargain. Confronted by hostile inmates, a territorial Warden, and hidden desires, Theo discovers there is more than his freedom at risk within the walls of Gruenwald Prison.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
“You can’t catch a dream you don’t chase.” Don’t wait for a good time. Don’t wait until you think you’re a good enough wordsmith. Don’t think you’ve waited too long and regret not writing in your younger days. Don’t Wait! Put pen to paper and do it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Writing is a passion, publishing is a business. Learn both.
