Q1. What was your inspiration to write the
A. I read an article
a little while back about an erotic magazine at an Ivy League university that
was an actual school organization. I thought to myself, "Someone needs to
write a book about that!" Then I decided that I would :)
Q2. Can you tell us a little bit about the next set of
books? Will the previous characters be featured or will there be new
characters as the main focus? Will Delilah and Adam ever have their own
story?
A. The new books will
focus mostly on new characters, but still feature some of the old characters
(specifically Britain ,
because she's, you know, in charge of everything). Delilah may get her own
story. As for Adam being the love interest... well, you'll just have to wait
and find out ;)

Q3. Between the three books, we’ve had Dallas ,
Evan, and Brit’s point of view. Among them is there one in particular
that you favored/enjoyed writing more?
A. I'm going to pull
the annoying author card and say that I liked them all for different reasons.
With Evan, she was so unlike any romance heroines that I've personally read in
fiction, and creating her seemed like I was pioneering in a way, which was a
lot of fun. Dallas was also fun to
write because he was a guy, and kind of vulnerable. I've gotten a lot of
positive comments on his authenticity. As for Britain ,
she was different than Evan in terms of her struggles. ABERRATION gets a little
political, and I really enjoyed writing Britain 's
point of view on issues involving sex, slut shaming, etc., because she was a
character who had two faces and had to appear naïve and sexually experienced,
given her circumstance.
Q4. So this series has to have some of the most creative
“love scenes” (and I put that in quotes because in Exposure Evan
and Dallas aren’t even having sex with each other yet and it’s suddenly 100
degrees in the room). Do you have any favorite scenes?
A. I love the
foreplay the best. In a way, it's even sexier than sex. My two favorite
"love scenes" are probably the student/professor shoot in EXPOSUREbecause of it's absolute ridiculousness, and then the three-way make-out scene
in DARK FRAME between Britain ,
Jaime, and Adam.
Q5. If you had the chance to be one of your characters for a
day, would you rather be Evan in front of the camera or Britain
behind the scenes?
A. OH GOD, that's a
hard question. I used to act for the stage, so I'd probably be more comfortable
in front of the camera. The erotic aspect of it all though? I'd probably look
like a doof, but I guess you never know until you try, right?
Thanks Iris! The East Park
