Hi everyone! Today I have a wonderful guest for you and a contest I am sure you will enjoy! Author Regina Perry agreed to answer some questions for me and she was generous enough to offer 4 gift certificates for 4 lucky readers of this blog to be used to purchase her ebooks at Ravenous Romance! So let’s get started first with a short bio on Regina.

BIO:


Regina Perry is pleased to edit this anthology, exploring love and passion beyond the opposite sex. Growing up in conservative mid-America, she was forced to keep her fantasies hidden and experiences limited. After graduating from The University of Kansas, she taught middle and high school English before moving to Florida. Now Dorothy is ready to slip into her new shoes and journey the yellow brink road of sexual discovery. Check out her new shoes and “Double Life” blog. Regina Perry.

INTERVIEW:

Hi Regina and welcome to My Overstuffed Bookshelf! It is a pleasure to have you here to answer some questions for us. Let’s get started!

1. Give us a small recap of your book I Kissed A Girl.

I Kissed a Girl is a collection of twelve erotic short stories. Each story presents a situation between two women, and at least one of the women has never had a lesbian experience, which results in very arousing and steamy stories of seduction, passion and sometimes love.

2. What got you interested in writing eroticas? I had written a few erotic short stories for fun. They were simply a more creative way of recording journal entries. The first novel I wrote was not erotica, but it did have one very erotic sex scene. I pitched this novel to several agents, and the sex scene caught Lori Perkin’s attention. She later was instrumental in establishing the Ebook publisher, Ravenous Romance, and persuaded me to convert my novel into an erotic romance. Thus, Playgirl was born.

3. Out of all of your own books, which one was your favorite to write? Playgirl is very dear to my heart. Much of it is autobiographical and it helped me to work through issues of loving and accepting myself after my divorce. It was cathartic to write my way through these issues.

4. Can you give us any details on what you are currently working on? My story, “Defining Lines,” in I Kissed a Girl is becoming a novel. The two main characters, Ava and Ginger, are insisting they have more of a story to tell.

5. Which author/authors do you read? In erotica: All of the authors in the anthology: C.Margery Kempe, Louisa Bacio, Inara LaVey, Samantha Jones, K.Ann Karlsson, Kilt Kilpatrick, Nola Erus, Farrah J. Phoenix, Jen Bluekissed, L.A. Mistral and Lucy Felthouse. I also read Jean Roberta, Elle Amery, Alison Tyler, Sehera Giron, Barbara Elsborg, Ryan Field and Misty Malone, Janet Dailey and Anais Nin. Non-erotic authors include: Robert James Waller, Kent Haruf, Sandra Dallas, Audrey Niffenegger, Sherri Reynolds, Billie Letts, Jonathan Franzen, Jane Smiley, Gordon Tucker and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, to give you a sampling.

6. How hard is it to write the stories you have written? The most difficult part is finding the time and the solitude. Once I’m in that space everything seems to fall into place as I write. I find that once I create good, strong characters, they take over and write the book for me.

7. Where can we find your books? The best place is: http://ravenousromance.com They are also available on Amazon, Fictionwise, Audio.com, All Romance, and others.

8. I know I sometimes blush when I read the erotic books. Do you ever blush while writing them and think”should I really write that?” Not about things I’ve actually written. But there are a few scenes, which have ventured into my imagination, that I haven’t as yet had the audacity to put on paper.

9. Name one thing you want to write about but haven’t done yet. Humiliation. The theme of my writing is Journeys of Sexual Discovery. It took me years to accept myself as a sexual being—to be comfortable with my strong sexual desires and nature. That was my first journey, and now I want to continue the exploration.

10. Do you have a blog our readers can follow? Yes. My web site is currently undergoing re-design. The blog is titled, “Double Life.” Right now, it’s on the main page. At some time in the future it might become a link from the home page. http://reginaperry.com

11. Are any of your books available in print yet? Soon at http://amazon.com and I Kissed a Girl will possibly also be available from a print publisher, but I’m not at liberty to name that publisher yet.

Thank you, Amy, for this opportunity on your book blog, My Overstuffed Bookshelf. It has been a pleasure to meet you and answer your interesting questions.

Hugs,

Regina

Hi fellow readers! Today’s review is featuring some great ebook reads from author Regina Perry. Regina is the author of some great erotic books that are hot and touch of subjects that might be uncomfortable for some readers. With that being said, I am going to review her ebooks Playgirl and the newly released I Kissed A Girl.

First up, I Kissed A Girl. WOW! If you don’t have a fan blowing on you before you start to read this, be sure to break it out! This book is an anthology of different short stories of Lesbian encounters. Now, I know I am only into men, namely my hubby. So I was comfortable with my sexuality enough that I had no problems or hesitancy in reading these erotic stories. They are well written, and they show how lesbian relationships are not something to be embarrassed by. This book breaks the wall down on sexual relations and the people who are afraid to admit their sexual fantasies.

Here is the SYNOPSIS:

You’ve heard Katy Perry’s hit song. Now read thirteen hot, enticing stories of women’s first same-sex encounters. Women, ever ingenious and imaginative, find multiple solutions to enliven college life, survive the workday, rescue a tedious vacation, mend lonely hearts, or spice up a relationship.


Next up is Playgirl. This one is a bit different. This one explores a married couple that have been together for awhile and have grown kids. We find that sometimes marriages of convience truly do not work in the sexual aspects. You may think you are right for eachother at the time, but the sex can get a little mundane. The main character finds herself in a chat room and meets a gay man who is willing to teach her about gay lifestyles, music and pornography. Tony gives her the confidence to leave her husband, go back to college and live her life of dating again.

Here is the SYNOPSIS:

When Alena Conner discovers an interactive nude model chat room, she finds a new best friend, Tony, who becomes her teacher, guide and confidant. He broadens her horizons, exposing her to a new world of gay lifestyles, music, and pornography. Alena lives vicariously through his dates with men and cyber-sex at the nude models’ web site.

With Tony as her mentor, she gains the courage to leave her family ranch and aloof husband, return to graduate school at The University of Kansas and enter the dating scene. Could she find a man who will appreciate her for the dynamic, sexual woman she has become? Will she want to give up the benefits of being a Playgirl?



I encourage all of my readers to come back tomorrow when Regina is here for a Q&A session and contest. I will have a bio and giving details of the contest. Regina was nice enough to donate to me 4 gift certificates to giveaway to 4 of my lucky readers. So be sure to check back tomorrow for more info and an awesome look into the mind of these great reads!

Until then…

Just wanted to let everyone know ahead of time that Tuesday, Sept. 8th I will be reviewing 2 new ebooks from Regina Perry. I will be reading and reviewing Playgirl and her newly released I Kissed A Girl. I will also be doing a Q&A with Regina that day.
