Menage author, Kristin Daniels interview
Today’s interview is with Kristin Daniels. I have known Kristin for several years and have witnessed her go from a romance author to now a serious erotica writer. What I enjoy about Kristen books, is how in depth she gets with her heroine, coupled with hot sex. So sit back and enjoy the interview.
When you first started writing, did you have any idea you’d be writing erotica books?
Actually, no. I started out writing romantic suspense, but one of my critique partners back then challenged me to write an erotic romance for a call from an erotic publisher. I’d always read both suspense and erotic romance, so it wasn’t difficult for me to slide right into the ER category.
What triggered the idea to write menage themed books?
I love reading them! I have to say, out of all the ER sub-genres, menage is my favorite.
What’s the most surprising piece of feedback you’ve ever received from a fan of your writing?
That they’d read one of my books three times! That they did that really touched me.
In Seven Nights you toy with some BDSM and bi sexuality. Will we see either of those ideas become a feature part of a book?
I’m releasing a book in the very near future that has a BDSM theme to it. I’m waiting to get it out there because I’m apprenticing with a Chicago photographer. Together we’re collaborating on a photo shoot for the cover image. It’s going to be a hella sexy cover to go along with the hella sexy story inside!
If someone new to your work is going to start with a story, which one would you recommend they read first?
Hmm, I’d have to say if their preference is M/F novellas, then Unscripted. If M/F full length is what they like, then my upcoming release, My Tye. If menage is their thing, definitely Seven Nights.
What have you written in the past that you think your erotica fans might find interesting?
I have a three book set titled Leave Me Breathless, which includes the novellas Unscripted, Chasing Eden and Charmed and Cherished. That’d be a good start
You started your writing career in the traditional publishing houses, why the switch to self-publishing?
By self-publishing, I have more control over the stories I put out there and when I put them out there.
Do you write erotica based on what you find interesting or sexy, or do you write more for your audience?
Definitely what I find interesting and sexy. I appreciate what audiences love and the recent trends that are out there, but I find it more fulfilling to write what comes from my heart.
What author or authors have had the greatest influence on your writing?
In the ER genre, Megan Hart, hands down. Broken is one of my favorite books ever.
Last question, what can we expect in the future from Kristin Daniels?
My soon-to-be released novel My Tye! It’s a very special book to me and I hope others love it as much as I loved writing it.
