Here are a few of the questions & answers I wanted to share with you. I'll added more as more permissions come in. Cheers! 




Q:
How are you dealing with the end of this series?

A: I’m feeling a bit emotional about the release of “Make Her Want It”. On one hand I’m glad it’s finally complete. But on the other hand this is the sunset for Edward, Nick, Ali and Sonya, the four main characters. They’ve been with me since my newsletter days so they’ll always be close to my heart. It feels as though I’m saying goodbye, you know.



Q: Of all your characters, who’s the most challenging to write for?

A: Edward is by far my most difficult character because, in many ways, he’s my most complex character. He tends to be narcissistic and cold which by nature I’m not. So when writing for him, I have to go into an entirely different state of mind. If you’re familiar with all four characters from my early days, you’ll notice each has evolved whereas Edward hasn’t. He’s still smoking hot. He’s still a demanding egomaniac. And he’s still fiercely protective of those he cares for. In short, he doesn’t change—the reader’s opinions of him change.



Q: Will you consider revisiting their storyline in the future?

A: At this time I can’t see revisiting the storyline. “Make Her Want It” put a nice tight bow on the characters lives and to revisit them would be pointless.



Q: How has the book been received?

A: Thus far the critical reviews have been very favorable. I have to admit, there was a pinch of nervousness about how the Kink would go over with the critics but it seems my concerns were misplaced. The reviews have been fantastic. More importantly I’m interested in hearing from my readers; they’re my backbone. For me, their opinions carry more weight than the critics because they have a connection with the characters and storyline.




Q: While you were writing, was there ever a point when you questioned the amount of Kink you could get away with?

A: Yes, I’m constantly taking the temperature of the story as a whole however the level of Kink was checked more often. Introducing elements of Kink to my readers has been a progression as interracial Kink is a touchy subject. It’s much like letting the air out of a balloon: slow and steady is the best course of action. Misjudging your amount of Kink may result in the loss of your audience.




Q: What were your fears coming into this project?

A: Coming into the project I was afraid my longtime readers would be put off because this is the final chapter and it’s never easy to say goodbye. But then the initial fears snowballed into chest pounding panic when I felt the weight of expectation closing in. It was my job as a writer to bring the characters full circle while remaining true to them…to do anything less would incite riots from my readers. That being said, my goal wasn’t only to round out the story but each individual character as well. In terms of Edward and Sonya, the story offers the readers a clearer picture of their personalities and in doing so, they’ll better understand why their type of relationship works for them. Naturally, their relationship wouldn’t be agreeable for everyone.




Q: I read in another interview where you said “Seduce Me” didn’t end as you’d planned. What did that statement mean?

A: “Seduce Me” was meant to be a stand alone novel not the first of two. Edward and Sonya’s story, which cumulated into “Make Her Want It”, was a sleeper hit amongst my inner circle. I’ve never disclosed this publicly but in the original manuscript for “Seduce Me” Edward dies a year into his reign, then Nick ascends to the throne—this was the epilogue for “Seduce Me”. After months of encouragement from the people in my camp I decided to drop the epilogue and give Edward and Sonya their own novel.



Q: Why do you think Edward and Sonya captured the attention of the readers?


A: I was rather amazed that my new readers took to Edward and Sonya as they’re not the average ‘romantic’ couple meaning there wasn’t a scene where ‘their eyes met across a crowded room’. For them it was more a case of exchanging mutual glances which implied, “Hey, I wouldn’t mind getting in your pants.”

Depending on your point of view Edward’s arrival in “Seduce Me” was either met with jubilation or dread…nonetheless, he was revered. So when Sonya comes along and served him a nice cold plate of indifference, I think the readers were fascinated and wanted to see his reaction. And even in “Make Her Want It” they fight, they curse at one another, and they’re equally stubborn and flawed but there’s something that keeps bringing them together…the readers picked up on this in “Seduce Me”—they can’t wait to see what these two will do next.


Q: How do you feel about people drawing parallels between Sonya and Sydney?

A: Ha! I’ve getting accustom to this question. Sonya is the original bitch. Sydney could take some lessons from Sonya. What readers will see in “Make Her Want It” is Sonya going from chillingly ruthless to cunning—she meets Edward toe-to-toe on her terms. She slowly figures him out.

After “Seduce Me”, the readers were asking for Edward’s tears. They wanted to see Sonya destroy his ego. To that I say, “Yeah right!” Edward doesn’t change for anyone except himself so please read carefully because just when you think you know where the story or Edward are going, they both take a hard left. But by the end Edward and Sonya’s characters are fleshed out.

Sydney doesn’t have the same level of personal ‘issues’ Sonya has. Sydney struggles are very different and I think the readers will pick up on this.




Q: What do you hope readers take away from this book?

A: Never judge a book by its cover. Edward and Sonya finally show their true colors.
