 ERICA BAYNE!
 Hi Erica!  I'm so glad to welcome you to my house.  I hope you enjoy your visit.  Get your cup of coffee and lets go out to the patio for a chat.

So what's been happening with you, Erica?  Congrats on your books, even though it's been out for a few months.

Ohh thank you so much.  Yea, I was pretty excited about it although I wasn't sure how it would be received.  I wrote it so many years ago when I knew nothing about writing.  It's so poorly written but it's hot hot hot even though it has only been given 2 flames at allromancebooks.com lol.  It should have 5!

I think it's a good story.  But, I know you have learned a lot since you wrote this one and I can't wait to read it.  When will it be finished.

It's coming along.  I am about to submit it to my publisher, Rebel Ink Press, for approval before it's finished. I always want their opinion.  They know more about it than I do and I trust them.  I've learned so much this year about writing so I hope they like it more than they did Explicit Seduction.  I don't even have a title for it yet.  I'll keep you up to date on that.  I hope your readers will check back.  I hope MY readers will.  hahahah

How does your family like you writing romance?
Well, of course they are happy for me.  They know it's a lifelong dream of mine and is now coming true.  But, I don't want them to read this book being so hot.  Perhaps they can read the next ones.  I want to write more literary romance which is much harder for me because you have to really pay attention to the way you write.  There is much more to it than just writing.  For me, it's taking a while to do it because I'm learning as I go.  When i was in high school, I didn't learn anything about English.  It wasn't very happy times for me.  So, I'm just now learning English properly.  I think I'm getting there, but still have a ways to go.  One day, I'll have a best seller. lol

I know you laugh because you're a bit shy, but I don't doubt that, Erica.  I think you will.

Thanks so much, Melissia, I really appreciate that so much.

Well, Erica, I wish you the very best and I hope you'll come back for a longer visit.  Take care!

Thanks so much for having me.  I always love spending time in your house.

Excerpt:


Clarice was full of fire as she stood in the living room of Johnny Mac’s mansion. Five feet in front of him, her hand shook as she aimed her 9mm pistol at him.

“Clarice, what are you doing? This isn’t like you,” he said as he rolled his eyes. She was out of character with a gun in her hand. She’d always been a quiet, kind person. Even as a child she was obedient, soft and sweet. But, when she heard what Johnny was all about, Clarice couldn’t keep herself restrained.

“Don’t do it, Claire. It won’t change anything,” he said smugly as sweat began to bead up on his forehead. “It wasn’t my fault you were so easily fooled.”

Tears filled her eyes as he spoke. Johnny could conjure up and emotion he wanted her to feel, at any moment. Clarice was weak like that.

“You ruined my life, Johnny. You didn’t care about me. I lost my job and my reputation! You made a fool out of me and now it’s time for you to know the level of my appreciation.”
