Welcome
to Craving Erotic Romance Blogspot. Today we’re presenting Author: Tamsin Baker!
Thank you
for inviting me on!
1) Have you always wanted to be an
author? Pretty much, yes.
2) What genre(s) do you write? The
list of what I don’t write would probably be shorter ;) but here goes. All
types of ménage, MF, MM, FF, BDSM, Contemporary, Fantasy, Regency Historical,
Country, BBW, Shifters, Vampires and I have another sweet pen name that I can’t
tell you about, but she writes the non erotic stuff!
3) Have you ever self published? Yes, a couple of very short reads,
but nothing substantial.
4) Who or what inspired you to
write your first book? My first book
was based around the formula of a mills and boon paperback, sexy range. It was
inspired by a friend of mine and an office romance that I found interesting at
the time. But that was over ten years ago and a lot has changed since then.
5) How many hours in a day might
you write? Totally depends on the day. I have young children and a part
time job, but I would do something writing related for at least an hour a day.
On days off, maybe 6 hours?
6) Are you a plotter or a pantser? I’m a pretty big pantser. I do tend
to resort to plotting when writing longer novels, but they’re not very detailed
plans. I love it when stories reveal themselves to me in pieces. Surprises from
characters are awesome.
7)
Do you ever find yourself slipping away and becoming so immersed in your story
it affects how you relate to others? It used to. In my first year of really
writing it was all I talked about, all I wanted to do. Now, I’m a bit more
balanced which is great.
8) Are you in any of your books? Not entirely no, but I do see lines
or glimpses of myself in every one of my heroine’s.
9) What do your friends and family
have to say about you writing? They think it’s great. My day job is science
based, so this gives my creative side a turn for fun and it keeps me happy and
balanced. My parents were a little shocked at the types of stories I wrote in
the beginning but she’s much more comfortable now.
10) Please share an excerpt from your book that
totally spoke to you when you put the words down on paper:
“You came!”
Laura cried and threw her arms around the woman in silver, who laughed and
hugged her back.
Come on, come on.
Laura pulled
back and stared at her cousin.
“You look like
shit, Ash.”
Jack frowned
at Laura. That wasn’t a nice thing to say to her cousin, let alone a woman that
beautiful. Jack’s balls tightened as he took in her voluptuous figure. He
usually dated women who were ultra fit and trained hard to minimize their body
fat.
He was instantly
converted to women with fuller figures. Such incredible breasts and lush hips
should be admired, not exercised into nonexistence.
He’d never
look at a woman’s body the same way again.
The woman
Laura had called Ash, sighed. “Thanks, sweetie, I know. Whereas you look bloody
fantastic.”
Laura did a
twirl and stuck her hip out at an angle. Cheeky woman.
“Why thank
you, darling. The love of a good man…and all that.”
Ash quirked an
eyebrow at Laura. “Or men, perhaps?”
Laura blushed
and stared at her cousin, her mouth tugging down. “Yeah…well…”
Ash, who Jack
was dying to touch, smiled at Laura with genuine warmth and love. “As long as
you’re happy, honey.” Next to him, Scott shifted from foot to foot, just as
impatient as Jack himself. Laura whirled around, seemingly just remembering
that they were standing there waiting.
“Oh, Ash, let
me introduce you to Brandon and Tyler’s cousins. It’s common in their family
for men to be born into nonidentical twin sets. This is Scott and Jack. Guys,
this is my cousin Ashleigh.”
Jack jumped
and stepped forward with his brother, their backs ramrod straight as they
stared at the woman in front of them.
Ashleigh’s
face turned cold, her mouth pulling down on both sides.
“Nice to meet
you gentlemen.”
Her tone was
like ice, yet Jack wasn’t deterred. Whatever her baggage, they could cope. God
knew they had enough of their own.
He stuck out
his hand at the same time as Scott. He would have laughed if the moment hadn’t been
so serious. This was it. With this first touch they would know if Ashleigh was
the woman they’d waited twenty-five years for.
She looked at
their hands as though they were the lowest form of life, but neither of them
dropped their arms away.
No fucking way, beautiful. Pick one. Touch
us.
Finally,
Ashleigh sighed and reached up to shake Scott’s hand.
Watching it
happen rather than being the first one to experience it hit Jack in the guts
with disappointment, but he didn’t even blink, in case he missed something.
As her hand
connected with Scott’s, Ashleigh gasped and her face reddened. Her knees
obviously weakened as she began to crumple and sink closer to the ground.
Jack jumped
forward to catch her and electricity shot through his body, straight through
his arms and into his core, making his body want to meet the dirt himself. He
groaned in time with Ashleigh, and she dropped Scott’s hand to cling to him.
Jack forced
all of his strength into his legs and locked his knees while pure pleasure
replaced the electrical pain. Like a cleansing white light, it slid through his
chest and down his arms and legs.
She’s ours.
Ash stared up
at him, her blue eyes shocked and vulnerable. Her lips parted as she took a
breath, and Jack fought off the need to kiss her. His heart was thumping in his
chest, and his cock stirred in his suit pants.
Ashleigh began
to struggle in his arms, her eyebrows lowering as her mouth took on an angry
tilt. Jack reluctantly let go of her solid warmth as soon as he was sure she
could stand, and she staggered toward Laura. His arms were still tingling like
he’d lifted weights for too long, yet he yearned to have her back and pressed
against him.
“What the fuck
was that?” Ash spat at them.
Jack bristled
and lifted his hand in a sign that everything was okay when he heard several
male cousins around them growl in warning.
Jack shared a
look with his brother, then stared back at Ashleigh. What was the next step
now?
“Ash, how long
are you here for?” Laura asked, forcing Ash to stop staring at them like they’d
committed some sort of crime.
“A week or so.
I took some leave.”
Hell yes! They had time to convince her
that she had to stay.
“Brilliant.
We’re going away for the weekend, but have honeymoon plans for the summer. Will
you stay with us next week when we come home again?”
Ash glanced at
Scott and Jack for a moment, her brilliant blue eyes troubled. She looked back
at Laura, nodding slowly.
“Yeah, sure.
I’d love to catch up properly with you.”
Jack cleared
his throat and held out his hand to Ash once again. He may as well start the
ball rolling. They had the weekend to woo her, and he didn’t want to waste a
single moment.
“Would you
like a tour of the property?”
Ash glared at
him with impressive strength. If she’d been a mountain lion, her fur coat would
have been bristling and standing on end.
“No bloody
way, and keep your hands to yourself.”
Ash turned
tail in a flurry of silver silk and beautiful brown hair. Her back was ramrod
straight as she stomped her way up the steps and into the house.
She’s got spunk. He had to admit, he was
already proud to call her theirs.
Laura giggled,
drawing their attention.
“You two are
going to have your hands full with Ash if she’s yours.”

11) Which actor/character(s) would play the
starring role? (you can attach pics and I’ll insert them, or add just names
for here)
I don’t think I can
answer this question I’m sorry- only because I’m not a very visual person. I
don’t use pictures to inspire my characters, and I’ve gotten through writing
whole books before, without really describing the characters. The way I see
people is more through their energy rather than their physical body. I know it
sounds like a cop out, but I promise its not!
