My second grade student teacher who read my short story about the blacksmith's daughter who is love with her dad's apprentice and didn't call the state to report my parents for child abuse--for obviously letting their 8 year old have access to romantic literature.

Name one book you've read and thought, "Damn! I wish I'd written that?"

Just one? I have that feeling all the time, lol. I guess...it would have to be....the Ugly series by Scott Westerfeld. I love the futuristic young adult feel and how twisted the characters become by the third book.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

I think...Italy. In Cinque Terre, these five beautiful little villages right on the ocean. Gorgeous. And they have vineyards and limoncello and great seafood--three of my favorite things.

My other Naughties. I get to hang out with some of the coolest, most hard working, creative, and naughty ladies writing erotic romance today. I feel like a very lucky girl :).

My English teacher from my sophomore year of high school. She tried pushing me to do more creative writing, but I was a stubborn so-and-so. When I decided later to actually give writing a shot, I remembered her faith in me and knew I could do it.

Name one book you've read and thought, "Damn! I wish I'd written that?"

Hmmm...I honestly can't remember any book I've thought about in that way. I'm sure I've thought it at some point or another, but I just can't remember any book in particular?

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

I think for a small portion of the year, I'd like to live on the west coast of Ireland. It's so beautiful there.

I love being associated with the other DNW'ers. This is a wonderful group of women who are incredibly supportive. We each have our own distinctive styles, but we work great together as a team!

The last 10 months of that job coincided with her rediscovery of the joy of writing. In February 2005 she took an online "How to Write Erotic Romance" class, and she was hooked. By the end of August that year she decided to quit her job, handed in her resignation, and started writing. Since February of 2006 she's had 19 books published (novellas and short stories in anthologies) and has several more on the way.

Tell us about one person who helped inspire you to become a writer and why:

There isn't any one person. It's been years of reading and enjoying books, and finally finding my niche in erotic romance. Some of the authors I admire and have been inspired by include Jayne Ann Krentz, Angela Knight, and Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Name one book you've read and thought, "Damn! I wish I'd written that?"

Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux. Just an amazing story.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

If I could live anywhere in the world, I'd be right where I am--Tucson, Arizona.

What do you like best about being a Deliciously Naughty writer?

The camaraderie and spirit of friendship we have. It's an amazing thing--especially considering that only two of us have met in real life.

Tell us about one person who helped inspire you to become a writer and why:

Okay, honestly? Stephen King. I swear to God. Maybe it's partly because I used to live six blocks from him, although I never met the man. I don't know. I do know I had a really weird dream with him in it once -- this was about four years before I started writing with any intent to publish (I've been writing since I was six). In it, we somehow reached this deal where I had to help him quit drinking and he, in turn, would help me become a professional writer. This was a full decade before On Writing came out, and I had no idea the man was an alcoholic. Weird, huh? :p

Name one book you've read and thought, "Damn! I wish I'd written that?"

Oh, man! Where to start? Fantasy: Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana. And Lloyd Alexander's Prydain series. Romance: Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dance With the Devil. Historical fiction: Mary Renault's Bull From the Sea (for anyone who thinks m/m erotica is new, think again!) Sci-fi: Dune. Gotta be Dune.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

Augh! Just one? Horse ranch in Wyoming. With a great view of the mountains!

What do you like best about being a Deliciously Naughty writer?

Being part of a group who are just as nutty as I am! LOL! It's comforting to know I'm not the only one.

Tell us about one person who helped inspire you to become a writer and why:

Oh, I don't think there's one particular person. My Mom was always a big reader and I picked that up from her. I had a few teachers who liked the stories and essays I wrote in school, too. But really, I always just loved to write, and I always wanted to do it.

Name one book you've read and thought, "Damn! I wish I'd written that?"

Wow, that's a really tough one. Mark Henry's "Happy Hour of the Damned" is one. So are Jeff Lindsay's "Dexter" books. And in romance specifically I think almost anything by Sherrilyn Kenyon/Kinley MacGregor or Candace Hern.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

I wish I knew! Right now the hubs and I are trying to decide this, and it's not easy.

Getting to hang out with you, Anna, Sherrill, Kelly, and Christine!
