Books-n-Kisses is pleased to welcome first time guest Tara Sue Me to the blog today.
Tara, can you please share with us a little about yourself?
I’m just your average working mom. My close friends know me as being rather introverted with a dry sense of humor. I’m most comfortable in yoga pants and a tee, and believe whoever invented panty hose was a sadist.
Bnk: Have you always wanted to be an author?
Yes, always! I wrote poems and short stories in middle school. At twelve I wrote my first attempt at a novel.
Bnk: Can you share with us your typical writing day. Is there anything you have to have while writing?
I typically don’t write until the kids are in bed, just too much risk for someone to be reading over my shoulder. I’m not too particular, I can write just about anywhere. Usually I have to move a dog or two out of my chair, though. It’s difficult to write when the puppies want to cuddle.
Bnk: Most challenging or rewarding part of writing?
The most rewarding part for me are those “AH HA!” moments you have when you’re in the middle of a scene and everything falls into place. It’s especially gratifying when you finally understand why something happened earlier in the book even though it made no sense at the time.
Bnk: Can you please tell us about your latest book?
THE SUBMISSIVE is about Abby King, a librarian determined to be Nathaniel West’s newest submissive. He makes it clear from the beginning that his rules don’t allow for more than a mutually agreed upon pleasure, but they both discover that love doesn’t play by the rules.
Bnk: How did you come with the idea for this story?
I often joke that the story found me. The first chapter was extremely vivid and I found that once I wrote it down, the rest of the story followed quickly. I’ve been writing for six years and in that time, I’ve never had a story flow so freely.
Bnk: Can you share with us your current work in progress?
Sure! I’m working on a new BDSM series that follows three couples. Each book tells the story of one couple. I’m still learning all the details myself, but it’s been a lot of fun writing so far.
Bnk: Who are some of your favorite authors?
Karen Rose, John Gilstrap, and Diana Gabaldon.
Bnk: Do you feel that any of your favorite authors have inspired your writing style?
I’m sure they’ve all inspired bits and pieces, but to say exactly what part? I don’t think I could point to any one thing.
Bnk: Open your book to a random page and tell us what’s happening.
Okay, let’s see. On this page Abby is meeting her best friend Felicia at a spa. Abby’s just had the most mind-blowing, intense sex the night before. Felicia doesn’t agree with Abby’s decision to be a submissive, so she changes the subject after realizing she doesn’t want to hear Abby’s answer to, “How was your night?”
Bnk: What is in your To Read Pile that you are dying to start or upcoming release you can’t wait for?
I’m counting down the days until THE MISTRESS by Tiffany Reisz releases!
Bnk: Is there anything else you would like to add?
Thanks for having me today!

“The first in Tara Sue Me’s seductive and scandalous series that has enthralled millions…”
Abby King has a secret fantasy.
New York knows Nathaniel West as the brilliant and handsome CEO of West Industries, but Abby knows he’s more: a sexy and skilled dominant who is looking for a new submissive. Yearning to experience a world of pleasure beyond her simple life as a librarian, Abby offers herself to Nathaniel, to fulfill her most hidden desires.
After only one weekend with the Master, Abby knows she needs more, and fully submits to Nathaniel’s terms. But despite the pleasure he takes in Abby’s willing spirit, the Nathaniel hidden behind the rules remains cold and distant.
As Abby falls deeper into his tantalizing world of power and passion, she fears that Nathaniel’s heart may be beyond her reach–and that her own might be beyond saving
