Ann
Jacobs is a conservative middle-aged wife and mom with a secret wild spot she
indulges by writing erotic romance--but always romance, where the hero and heroine
go off together into the sunset. She began writing more years ago than she cares
to remember, was first published by Berkley in 1996. She moved to Kensington in
1999, and has since found her niche with houses that welcome the spicier side
of romance: Red Sage, Ellora's Cave and Changeling Press. When she isn't writing,
Ann enjoys spending time with her husband and children...along with meeting readers
at signings and conferences, traveling, and golfing with kids or friends. ******

Wrong
Place, Wrong Time? It certainly seems so for supermodel Darlene Jackson and Vlad
Ivanov, FBI agent-turned-NFL player in order to find a serial killer.
Almost
an ex, now a widow since her ass of a husband got blown away along with his groupie
bimbo, Darlene is drawn into the investigation…and to Rangers’ new place-kicker
Vlad.
Sparks fly the first time Darlene and Vlad meet—and when
they realize they’re both into the BDSM lifestyle, those sparks burst into
flame. She’s into submission, he’s into control…and they’re
both out to stop the serial killer before he strikes again.
After they’re
seen together by a prime suspect in an upscale dungeon, Darlene becomes a likely
target—and the perfect bait. Vlad has to do his duty, but he’d gladly
give his life to keep his lover—and his love—from coming to harm.
But
before they can have a life together, Vlad has to accept that he can dominate
in bed but not at the bank, and Darlene needs to persuade her parents that despite
the differences in their backgrounds and races, Vlad is the man she wants for
all time.

So why
do you write erotic romance? Do you do all you write about?
Since these are the questions I get asked most often, I'll try to answer them
here. Before
I started writing, I read romance and sort of shook my head when authors slammed
the bedroom door shut and let me use my imagination. I got even more perturbed
when they didn't close the bedroom doors but described what was going on in the
purplest of purple prose. I said to myself, "Sex is an important part of
the relationship between a man and woman. I want the hero and heroine to experience
it--and I don't want to start laughing when I should be experiencing a much different
emotion, just because an author has referred to 'his rampant manhood' or 'her
dewy femininity'. Or worse! When
I started writing, I vowed to avoid purple prose and still write "hot,"
which got my NY books labeled as practically over the top sex-wise. I loved it
when Red Sage, Ellora's Cave and Changeling came along and encouraged me to expand
rather than suppressing my explorations of human sexuality. Now,
do I do everything I write about? I'll never tell! |
