So pleased to have Inez Kelley with me today. Her latest release Lipstick On His Collar is one scorching hot read! And hey, lookie here! I have a free copy to give to one lucky commenter!He never thought his next wildfire would be wearing a red dress.“Make me your goddess and I’ll take you to heaven.”This sultry promise sparks a scorching, unforgettable one-night stand. The next morning Bram Winters awakes with a hickey and a head full of wicked memories—alone. His nameless goddess is gone without a trace, along with his shirt. And his heart.Five months later, he stumbles across his mystery lady in a Laundromat, but she still won’t give up her name. Worse, she begs him to leave, no questions asked. Once he catches the spark of terror in her eyes, though, his firefighter training takes over—and he digs in for the duration.Lady never wanted Bram to see her life’s ugly underside, but it’s too late—his socks are already in the washer. He was supposed to be her declaration of independence from her unstable ex, a bittersweet memory to carry into her new life.Except the ex continues to stalks her. And Bram’s reappearance sends her emotions and desires tumbling over the edge. As the minutes wear on, sexual tension rises faster than the steam from a hot water wash.And Lady’s ex watches from the shadows, growing more furious by the minute…Product Warnings: Scorching sex, icy scissor play and an anonymous woman taking a wet slide down one hot ex-fireman’s pole. Beware of hot flashes and spontaneous combustion. Correct change not required.<><><><> Keri: See, doesn’t that sound awesome? Where do you find your inspiration, Inez?Inez: No idea. Sometimes is it s lyric in a song, another time it may be a passing comment someone makes, other times they just bloom in my head.Cool. If a reader was going to pick one of your stories to start with, which one should they read and why?Tricky question, since I write across genre. If they want short and spicy, my co-authored story with Ginny Glass TALK DIRTY TO ME is a great place to start. If they want fantasy, the definitely MYLA BY MOONLIGHT. So many wonderful choices! Do you have a pet peeve when you are reading another author’s work?I really hate head hopping(bouncing POV in a book) and authors who go surface deep only never make it to my keeper shelves.*hides her occasional POV changes mid-scene* Ahem…Are you a pantser or a plotter?I’m a navigator, which is a weird blend of the two. I know the beginning, the end and key points to hit in the middle. The journey to hit all those story markers is the fun part.Know what you mean! I like to write the same the way. It does keep things interesting. What would your main character say about you?Depends which one you ask *snicker* Hehee. What makes this book special?Chronologically, LIPSTICK ON HIS COLLAR was the first time I tried to write RED HOT. I took one scene I had in my head for years and built a story around that scene. It was the first time I let myself go and just write two characters who were steaming hot for each other and went for it.And I’d say a job well done! What’s your favorite of the books you’ve written?*MY* Favorite? That comes out from Carina Press in January 2011, titled SWEET AS SIN. That is my heart-story, so to speak and I can’t wait for people to read it.Heart-stories. *sigh* Who is your favorite author and why?I really don’t have a favorite. I have those I prefer and those I like for certain reasons but I don’t have auto buys for example. Gotcha. What are your hobbies (reading and writing don’t count)? Do they ever make an appearance in your stories?I cook or bake, which I guess does show up in a lot of my stories. Love baking myself! What is the hardest thing about writing for you?Not burning out and keeping the flow. I can have a week where I write balls to the wall and knock out 20 thousand words. Then I am brain fried and my not write again for 3 days. That is my self-annoying thing. I’ll take 20k ball wallin and 3days off for it anytime! Does your family know what you write?Yes, my young children know I write grown up books and are okay with that. My extended family smiles politely and nods.Haha. I have a few of those polite nodders myself. If you could choose any other profession, what would you be?I did my two dream jobs. I was a 911 dispatcher for over 10 years and loved it. Then I left that to write. So yeah, pretty much did what I wanted there. Wow. Intense. No way could I do that. I’d pee my pants on ever scary call and be bawling with half the others. Did you want to be an author as a kid? If not, what did you want to be?Yes, I did. I really did. But I was told it was a pipe dream and it would never happen so I wrote in secret for no one’s eyes but mine and pursued other goals. That is my biggest regret. I should have followed my heart way back then.Awe, poo on whoever told you that. Lots of smelly, wet poo. What exotic locale would you most like to visit?I want to go to Alaska and to Ireland. Not to crazy about beaches, but any mountain retreat sounds wonderful to me. Oh, man…woman of my heart. I want Alaska so bad and that whole area around Ireland is on my to-do list one of these days. Inez, thanks so much for being with me today!Everyone, don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of Lipstick On His Collar.
