Welcome Victoria Blisse today

Please give a warm welcome to author Victoria Blisse as she sits down with me to answer a few questions....

To get us started can you tell us a little about what you are working on or have coming out?

I’m always working on something. I’m neck deep in vampires at the moment and hope to have the next point vamp story to my editor soon.

I’ve got an exciting Billionaire story coming out for preorder on the 26th August, called Sharing Nicely.

Here’s the blurb:

Two hot, sexy billionaires know what they want and they want her, but will they be happy to share nicely?

Kerry Matthews is used to stress, she runs her own high-end London club called Diamonds but what she isn’t used to is attention from two very persuasive and powerful men.

Darren Bennett and Greg Stamford are life-long rivals, but call a truce to spend one night with sassy, curvy Kerry. They’re not content to share forever though. They both have a selfish desire to possess her completely. 

Darren buys her seductive lingerie, flowers and chocolates, Greg flies her to Paris for a romantic break, cleans her flat and makes her breakfast in bed. Both vying to cement their place in her heart. She needs to decide between them but is dazzled by their persuasive personas and extravagant gifts.


 If we asked your muse to describe you using five words, what do you think they would say?

Lazy, procrastinating, funny northern bird. 

Name one thing readers would be surprised to know about you.

Well, I used to sing in my church choir and I’m a governor at my daughter’s school, that’s a bit unusual for an erotic romance author!

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

You know, my favourite place in the whole world is Scarborough on the East coast of England. I love that little town with its 2 beaches and laid back seaside feel. I want to retire there.

If someone hasn't read any of your work, what book would you recommend that they start with and why?

Well, it depends what you like, I write in a variety of genres. One that is very typical of my style is GettingPhysical. It’s a funny romance that blooms in a gym, and it’s the first in a series of three stories about the couple. It’s definitely a good Blisse starter.

Where do you find the inspirations for your stories?

All over! I pick up inspiration in the most unlikely places -very often when I'm staring out of the window of public transport!

Are your characters able to love or do they need to be taught?

Generally, they need a bit of encouragement. They might have been hurt before or they might have other issues but eventually love wins the day!


Do you have a book that was easiest to write or one that was the hardest?

There are some stories which 'write themselves' examples of this are Literally Bitten and switching the control. Also, I've got one coming up in September called Satisfying desires which I wrote in a matter of days because the words just flowed, I love it when that happens. I'm not sure about the hardest, I think they all have their hard elements to be honest!

Is it hard coming up with titles or characters names?

Character names tend to come to me fairly easily but titles are my nemesis. My husband makes up most of mine, he’s really good at it.

Is there any books coming that you are itching to read (either electronic or print) from your favorite authors?

Ooh, good question. I am always itching for the next Pratchett to read. I’ve also discovered a cute Steampunk series that I’m waiting for the next book, it’s by Shelley Adina and is really fun. I am also waiting for  The Mistress by Tiffany Reisz  because it’s due out soon (it’s out by the time you read this) and I really want to read it.

If you were to replenish your cabinets with one junk food, what would it be?

Reeses  Peanutbutter cups. I could die happy eating those things and no one else in the house eats ‘em, woot!

What is coming up from you in 2013? Anything you want to tease us with?

At the same time Sharing Nicely is out, I’ve got a short story called Satisfying Desires in the Whip it up anthology at Total-E-Bound. Here’s the blurb to pique your interest:

Lucas is the only man who can satisfy all her desires.

Sally has a broken wrist and is struggling to cope with being off work and home alone. She’s eaten nothing but soup in days and is sick to death of daytime TV. She goes for a walk but is distracted by the delicious smells coming from the local café.

The tall and tanned Greek chef, Lucas, wants to look after Sally and not just by feeding her with his delicious fried foods.  He invites her back to enjoy a meal with him alone that night once the café is closed.

Their less than innocent evening meal is finished off by a trip to the bedroom with a pot of chocolate spread because as Lucas says, the only thing better than a hot naked woman is a hot naked woman covered in chocolate! 

It is his special brand of optimism and dominance that has Sally bending to his will and begging him for more.


Anything else you would like to add?
