Hi, to the readers and staff of Fresh Fiction. And thank you for inviting me to
make a guest appearance on your fab site. As a newbie, I’m not always sure what
to talk about…so I decided to answer three simple questions: Who am I? What do I
write? Who are the books for?
Who am I? I’m Kate in the BIG RED HAT!—a debut author of the
erotic romance anthology, PLAYING DOCTOR, which came out January 6th from Sourcebooks.
I won’t bore you with my bio (it’s below), but I would like to note that one of
my favorite things about writing is the researching…and I like to do very
extensive, “hands on” research with my loving husband.
As for the red hat, since both my website and books are highly risqué, I’m
writing incognito to protect the innocent (the privacy of my teenage daughter).
I hope you’ll visit my KateAllure.com to learn more about my “research” and maybe
join Club Kate to participate in what I hope will become a meeting place for
fans, authors, bloggers, and anyone interested in romance novels and all things
related to romance, sex, and love. A fun cyber community to share silly stories
about encounters, or in-counters, gone astray or to celebrate romantic successes
in the boudoir.
What do I write? Short sexy stories. Anthologies about
professional men—handsome doctors, lawyers, professors—and successful women who
take charge of their lives and their sexuality…and the fun they have behind
closed doors. The Meeting Men series will also include LAWYERING UP (about the naughty things lawyers enjoy),
HANDS ON (about studly men who work with their hands), and
EXTRA CREDIT (sexy profs getting down in the stacks). I like to
say my characters are…Real women, real men — meeting, loving, having fun!
I’m thrilled about reviews that seem to get exactly what I had intended:
“This trio of hot and steamy tales is escapism of the richest, most decadent
variety. Kate Allure deals in pure fantasy, a spirited diversion from the
mundane and a chance to explore some of the most titillating “what ifs” readers
can imagine.” ~ Romantic Times Book Reviews
“Sizzling and sensual…Readers will cheer on these strong women as they take the
initiative, seeking (and finding) both sexual satisfaction and emotional
fulfillment.” ~ Publishers Weekly
Who are my books for? While anyone might like these
racy reads, I particularly see busy, overworked women and harried mothers
enjoying a few fantasy-filled minutes of “me time!” Again, a reviewer caught it
perfectly:
“These quick, easy reads will appeal to anyone looking for a sexy book that they
can put down and pick back up with no trouble. Fun, flirty characters abound...”
~ Library Journal
On KateAllure.com, I say
that my writing is…“Sizzling romance for smart and sexy women.” I believe all
women are smart—we have to be to juggle the responsibilities of career, school,
and/or family. Womanhood, in whatever form, is something to celebrate and exalt.
“I am woman, hear me roar,” sang Helen Reddy in 1972…and we’re still roaring. We
are women. Strong. Invincible.
As for “sexy”…I truly believe this is inside all of us. It’s not the size of our
bust, the color of our hair, or what a beauty magazine dictates—it is who we
feel we are and who we want to be. That doesn’t mean it comes easy. We might
need to work hard to release that inner goddess, but it’s worth it—and I expect
your partners might agree! (LOL).
So, come visit me at Club Kate and let’s explore all things erotic romance
together. It will be fun.
With kind regards, ~ Kate
About PLAYING DOCTOR
The doctor will see you now...
Three sizzling-hot erotic romance stories to stoke your mood
In The Intern, the temperature of Dr. Lauren Marks’s
office quickly rises when her new medical intern Courtney turns out to be a
passionate and sexy young man.
Valerie realizes all of her fantasies when her sexy surgeon and her loving
husband team up to offer her some extra-special treatment in My
Doctor, My Husband, and Me.
Nikki gets more than she bargained for in Seize the Doctor
when the hot guy she recently met at a bar walks into her exam room
wearing a white coat. Good thing she wore her sexiest lingerie.
Excerpt from PLAYING DOCTOR
Before meeting Luka the doctor, the unexpected new man in a life that rarely
meets single men, I had not even realized the wanting was there inside me. It
burst forth like an exotic autumn bloom. Now I have a choice to make. I can
pluck that flower, enjoy its heady fragrance, feel the soft petals’ caress, and
discern its rare beauty. Later, I will have the memories to cherish even as my
flower fades. To walk away and leave it all untouched would be a waste of such
an extraordinary gift, something that won’t ever come again. This I know deep in
my being. So, taking a steadying breath, I give myself over to the moment, to
consummating the agreement, to not turning back.
