Books-n-Kisses is pleased to welcome back Tara Sue Me to the blog.
Tara for those who missed you the first time around, can you please share with us a little about yourself
I’m the average mom next door. I’m married with two children, two dogs, and a cat. I like dark chocolate and drink too much caffeine. I’m quiet until you get to know me or cut me off on the interstate.
Have you always wanted to be an author?
Yes. Writing is something I’ve always enjoyed and wanted to do. Though I read a lot of genres, my writing always has a romance.
What is your most interesting writing quirk?
I have to have Pepsi One and Sweettarts handy. And the Sweettarts have to be eaten in a certain order: green first (because whoever decided to change green from lime to green apple should be fired), blue, red, purple, then orange (the best).
Can you please tell us about The Submissive Trilogy and THE TRAINING?
The trilogy follows Nathaniel and Abby as they work their way from a sex only agreement to something more. In THE TRAINING, we see them attempting to mesh their BDSM needs and lifestyle with their everyday lives.
How did you come with the idea for this story?
I knew I wanted to try writing an erotic romance, but I didn’t know what it should be about. Then one night, I saw this scene in my mind. It was a woman standing in a man’s office. She was excited and nervous about being there, but he was ignoring her. There was so much happening in that room, yet he was just typing and she was only standing. I had to know more, so I got my laptop out and starting writing.
Can you share with us your current work(s) in progress?
I have a new series starting in March 2014. It’s also BDSM, but each book reads as a standalone. The couples I’m writing are so much fun and there’s a lot of diversity between them. It’s a blast writing.
Who is the one author that you would love to meet someday and why?
It’s an impossibility, but I’d really like to have a conversation with Margaret Mitchell about why she ended GONE WITH THE WIND the way she did. Would love to know, in her mind, if Rhett and Scarlett ever got back together.
What is the best piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to get into writing?
Read, read, read and write, write, write. Everyday. Even if it’s just a little. Even if it sucks. Especially if it sucks.
Can you share with us something off your bucket list.
I’d love to travel to Alaska.
What is in your To Read Pile that you are dying to start or upcoming release you can’t wait for?
I’m (not so) patiently waiting for WRITEN IN MY OWN HEART’S BLOOD by Diana Gabaldon. I discovered the series when OUTLANDER first came out and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Thanks for having me today! I love nothing more than to talk about books and writing.

The Training
It started with a hidden desire.
Millionaire CEO Nathaniel West has always played by his own strict set of rules, ones he expects everyone to follow—especially the women he’s dominated in his bedroom. But his newest lover is breaking down all his boundaries and rewriting his rule book.
Abby King never imagined that she would capture the heart of Nathaniel West, one of New York City’s most eligible bachelors—and its most desirable dominant. What began as a weekend arrangement of pleasure has become a passionate romance with a man who knows every inch of her body and her soul – yet remains an enigmatic lover. Though he is tender and caring, his painful past remains a wall between them.
Abby knows the only way to truly earn his trust is to submit to him fully and let go of all of her lingering inhibitions. Because to lead Nathaniel on a path to greater intimacy, she must first let him deeper into her world than anyone has ever gone before…
