What's the wildest
scene you've imagined and did it make it into a story?
Um… yeah. Every
single time. It started in With Wings my very first novel. I wrote a
shared Fleshlight scene… and well from then on, every book I can point to
something rather wild the characters engage in.
I think sexual exploration
is part of character development and shreds light on the relationship the
couple, triad or foursome has. Though we should keep in mind, one character’s
wildness is another’s vanilla dream. In The Librarian’s Rake, my
librarian is super uptight about sex and can’t imagine trying new things… so for
him to have sex in the library is beyond his most wicked fantasies. Here’s a
bit of his yumminess.
Excerpt from The
Librarian’s Rake:
Phillip slid back a
few inches, then thrust forward. “You’re so fucking hot. Getting fucked among
your books. So dirty.”
“Oh, God!” It was.
Filthy. And he loved being bent over in between two bookshelves while Phillip… took
him.
“We’re in the
romance section.” Phillip started reading titles as he edged his way in and out.
“The Duke’s Ruse. Untamed Heart. The Librarian’s Rake. Hey, I bet that’s
not about garden tools. Mmmm, I’ll be your rake.”
Ever drunk written
a chapter and then read it the next day and still been happy with it?
Trust me there's a whole world of us drunk writers dying to know.
I’ve never written
drunk but while jetlagged. LOL My lack of sleep and the disorientation of
travel puts me in an altered state. So, if I write when jetlagged it feels like
someone else wrote the words. Though I learned writing sex scenes while
jetlagged puts me in the mood for a bit of exercise (nudge, nudge, wink, wink
>>> FYI: sex is good to fight jetlag) but those scenes usually need to
be rewritten because they are usually super choppy.
With so much going
on in the world today, do you write to explain? To get away? To
move past? To wide our knowledge? Why do you write?
I write (&
publish) to promote equality and acceptance. I believe with every page we turn
in LBGTQIA romance our understanding of gender, orientation, love, and humanity
increase. I try to explore the edges and variations within any label that makes
its way into my story. I want to emphasize the unique beauty in all of us and remind
everyone there’s not just one way of expressing/experiencing something. I want
to give information and understanding through my characters and plots which can
translate into acceptance beyond the pages of a romance.
And I will admit
there are times I also write to escape the terror and misery our world forces
on us. We’ve enough sadness which is why my email is Z.AlloraHappyEndings@gmail.com. In my writing, there will always be a happily
ever after and usually quite a few happy endings getting there.
What's next for you
as a writer?
I’m hoping to share more of my overseas experiences. More
sexy zombies, some hot rockers, possibly a couple contemporary novellas, and
definitely some more BDSM.
The
Librarian’s Rake Blurb
Opposites might attract, but
is acting on that attraction wise?
Librarian Tristan Cooper
can’t steer clear of sexy, motorcycle-riding bad boy Phillip—the man is hot—but
Phillip is bound to and quiet, bookish Tristan boring, like all Tristan’s
boyfriends. Tristan yearns to explore his wild side, the part of himself he’s
only allowed into his fantasies, and maybe rakish Phillip is just what he needs
to feel free.
Sexperienced hairdresser
Phillip is more of a believer in happy endings than happily ever after.
Experience has taught him not to hope for more— until he meets sweet,
vulnerable Tristan, who seems genuinely interested in his heart. But Phillip
can’t trust enough to see himself as a man Tristan might want for more than a
night.
With the help of a pair of matchmaking grandfathers, Tristan and
Phillip might and the courage to step beyond their comfort zones and discover
what has been missing from their lives....
