Spotlight Saturday with Suz deMello (Sue Swift)
Please give Suz deMello (Sue Swift) a warm welcome to my blog today for Spotlight Saturday! She's stopped by to chat about her erotic romance novel, Queen of Shadow, and to answer a few questions about herself.
Suz, who are a few of your favorite authors?
You go right for the tough questions! Too many to list, really. JK Rowling, Ursula LeGuin, Chris Moore, and Carl Hiaasen are a few.
Do you like to listen to music while you write?
I love music but find it distracting when I write. I think silence is underrated.
If you could be the heroine in any romance or erotic romance novel, who would it be and why?
Of my heroines, I’d choose Audryn of Queen of Shadow. What’s not to like about being young, beautiful and a queen?
Janus is a planet which lacks both tilt and spin, and its Shadowlands are the pewter band of dusk dividing the violently hot Lightside of the planet from its Darkside, imprisoned by eternal night. Because of the peculiar conformation of the planet, birthrates are low and indiscriminate mating encouraged.
Audryn, Queen of Shadow has reached that time in her life when she must choose a King to rule with her or fail to bear an heir, casting not only her realm but all of Janus into chaos.
Despite her duty, she is reluctant to share power, even a bit distrustful. Janus’ nobles vie for Audryn’s hand. Although she enjoys trysting with all her suitors, none seize her heart.
Then Storne, the warrior Prince of Darkness, arrives to claim her as his bride.
Will his masterful ways allure or repel the willful Queen?
Coffee or tea?
Coffee before noon, teas and infusions thereafter.

What are your favorite genres?
I don’t write in it, but I love to read YA paranormal.
What genres have you written in?
LOL, almost everything! I love to explore writing. I’ve written traditional “sweet” romance, comedy, romantic suspense, mystery, paranormal (including futuristic and vampire fiction) , fan fic, historical, paranormal and erotica, including BDSM, ménage, kink…you name it, I’ve probably explored it as a writer. The only genres in which I haven’t written that I can think of are YA and inspirational.
Star Trek or Star Wars?
Both but I’m really a Trekker from way back. I’ve actually attended conferences and Halloween parties dressed as a Vulcan. I was madly in love with Mr. Spock at age thirteen—I have a thing for geeks.
Do you write under a pen name? If so, who knows about your naughty writing activities?
I write using the names Sue Swift for “straight” romance and Suz deMello for more erotic fare. I hope everyone knows! I’m not ashamed of writing erotica, nor am I afraid that some crazed fan will come along and enact what I’ve written….which would be really weird. There’s a great deal of unjustified fear in the world.
Tell us about your upcoming writing projects.
I’m working on the sequel to Temptation in Tartan, vampire historical erotic romance with a touch of BDSM. Temptation will be released by Ellora’s Cave later this year.
Please feel free to leave Suz a nice comment:)
