What is the title of your latest release?
TEMPTED BY EDEN
What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book?
Tempted by Eden is a contemporary enemies to lovers, erotic romance with a hint of kink, a touch of angst and includes a happily ever after. It’s centered around a woman named Cora who finds herself living a double life as she works at a kinky gentlemen’s club by night and as a PR specialist by day. It includes some of my favorite tropes to read and write; enemies to lovers, boss/employee, billionaire boss and alpha hero.
What are three words that describe your protagonist?
Cora is sassy, strong and a survivor!
What’s something you learned while writing this book?
Everyone’s author journey is different, there is no ‘right’ path. After speaking to fellow romance authors, every single one of their experiences have been unique to them. Some have written eight manuscripts before feeling ready to submit and pitch to a publisher. Others have received many rejection letters, before landing a contract. And others have seen huge success self-publishing and have bypassed the traditional publishing route. I’m a firm believer that everything will happen when it’s supposed to. It’s easy to get down on yourself and compare yourself to other authors. But the key for me is to keep persisting and keep writing!
Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done?
I edit as I write. The thought of going back and editing a whole manuscript when I’ve finally finished is daunting! Although, editing while drafting does take a lot longer.
What’s your favorite foodie indulgence?
Milk chocolate and green tea. I know a lot of authors use chocolate as a reward when they finish a scene or chapter and I’m the same. Tim Tams, Kit Kats, Cheery Ripe… or anything with a peanut butter center.
Who is an author you admire?
I absolutely love anything from T. L Swan, her writing style is very similar to my own. And she’s a fellow Aussie too! I could get lost in worlds she creates for hours. Do yourself a favor and check out; The Italian, Ferrara and Mr. Masters series.
What’s your favorite movie?
I realize this is clichéd, but The Notebook with Ryan Gosling and Rachael McAdams, is one of my favorite romance movies. Based on Nicholas Sparks’ novel, Allie and Noah’s love story is very similar to my parents’ story, so it deeply resonates with me. They are still madly in love after fifty years of marriage. The final scene of the film is how I envisage my parents’ love story ending. I can’t imagine one living without the other. It still chokes me up every time I watch it.
What do you do when you have free time?
I write! I mostly write at night as I work full time during the day, running my business. Plus running around after my little one who has just turned five years old, doesn’t leave much free time during the day.
What can readers expect from you next?
I’m currently working on the next book in the Eden series, called Seduced by Eden and it follows Amber and Aaron’s story. It’s a spicy, friends-to-lovers contemporary romance, with a forced proximity and fake/transactional relationship tropes. I’m halfway through the first draft and can’t wait to share their unique story with readers.
Two strangers on vacation. One intense attraction. No expectations, other than a night of mind-blowing passion.
Five years later, broke and desperate, Cora finds herself living a double life as she works at a kinky gentlemen's club by night and as a PR specialist by day. A chance encounter at the club throws Cora into her mystery vacation man's path once again. But the only problem is... he doesn't remember her. And to top that, her man is none other than the CEO of Hayes & Meyer Media, James Hayes. Arrogant. Dominant. Mega rich. And, her new boss.
But Cora isn't a quitter. And she will do anything to keep her job. She has to. She has people depending on her. All she has to do is stay away from James. Easy, right? If only she could ignore the tempting world of submission James has opened her eyes to...
