Today I get down and dirty with erotic romance author and wild farm girl, Abby Wood. Abby has 7—yes I said SEVEN—books out, the newest of which was released April 23, just two days ago!

Welcome, Abby!

Abby: Thank you so much for having me here today! *squee* I'm so excited!

My first question is one I’m sure you get asked a lot. *scoots forward and balances on the edge of seat* Tell me, have you done everything in your books?

Abby: Whoa...you want to throw out the nitty gritty questions first, I see. lol Everything? I'll let everyone's imagination wonder about that. I do love doing research though, and my hubs is a very willing participant. Since writing erotic, he has taken quite an interest in my writing...if you know what I mean. *wink* There has also been some talk about designing and selling the sex bench that I wrote about in "Throwing a Kink in the Kidnapping". lol Seems the readers think every home should have a bench.

Mwahahaha! Why certainly, Abby, certainly! A definite must have. *grin*

Now, I know you have a busy life—chickens, and children, and kink, oh my!—so just how do you manage to find the time to write?

Abby: I run on little sleep. I'm one of those people who can sleep for a couple hours and wake up smiling. I know...hate me. lol I do most of my writing after dinner into the late/early hours when the house is quiet. Probably explains why I love to write erotic books. lol My mornings are just too chaotic with feeding animals, kids, chores. I save my promoting, answering emails, and answering interview questions for the morning hours. This will also explain why I often make no sense!

Ha! Excuses, excuses. Oh, wait... I should probably come up with one of those nifty excuse thingies too!

*shakes head* Anyway...

Two days ago, your newest story, “Tagging Her Lynx” was released through Breathless Press. Tell me, Ms. Abby, in three words or less… Why should a reader buy this book?

Abby: Lick, bite, Chocolate

Okay, now you can elaborate. *wink*

Abby: Whew! For a second, I was afraid everyone thought I wrote about Dove's Chocolate. Here's a blurb and excerpt...

Blurb:

Living in the bush of Alaska, Chloe Barrant wanted to take care of the animals at her wildlife refuge and ignore the times she shifted into a lynx. Even she knew that wasn’t normal. Little did she know that the day she'd turn away the poachers she'd find a male lynx coming to her rescue. What surprised her even more was when the lynx turned into a man claiming her as his life mate.

Granger, alpha of the Lynx clan, would do anything to protect the Lynx. They'd lost too many members to the hunters who preyed on them. Finding his alpha life mate gave him back dreams for the future that he'd given up on long ago.

Chloe didn't understand how the other Lynx expected her to fill the alpha role within the clan, when around Granger she only wanted to slip into beta role and submit to him. Could she figure it all out in time to save the Lynx?

Oh, but Abby isn't quite done with the teasers. *grin* Here's a little taste of the story. Enjoy!

     "You can put the shovel down. No harm will come to you."

     Chloe glared and gave her head a tight shake without moving her gaze off the lynx. She swore the animal talked, but his mouth didn't move. In fact, he now sat completely motionless, with the innocence of a house cat on his face.

     "My name is Granger, and I am a shapeshifter like you. We have the ability to talk to each other telepathically."

     The shovel fell from her grip, and she jumped back at the clatter of the handle skimming the chain links of the cage. She hurried over to the other side of the aisle and stood with her back against the wires.

     Her coat caught on the metal, and puffs of downy feathers billowed out from the snags. She gnawed on her bottom lip and stared, not wanting to believe the voice in her head. There was no way that lynx had just spoken to her.

     "It's true, Aningan. We are from the Lynx family. I've seen you shift and run through the woods, keeping to the deep shadows, too afraid of discovery. I've bided my time in coming to you, but unfortunately those men meant you harm and forced me to come out of hiding."

     "Go…go a-away. Scat!" She motioned with her arm for him to take off. His chuckles filled her head.

     She froze, her lips pursed in disapproval. Why did she even contemplate the reality of the cat laughing in a very masculine, husky voice? She even heard a hint of tenderness in his teasing. This is crazy.

     "You're not crazy. I am your mate, and together we have the ability to communicate telepathically. I can explain everything to you. Is there somewhere we can go, sit down, and I can transform back into my human form? What I have to tell you will answer many of the questions that have troubled you lately."

     She shook her head. Not possible. This is all in my imagination. A…an aftershock from watching you tear apart another person. She raised her gloved hand and rubbed her forehead.

Okay, lady. What happens next, darn it all! Yeah yeah, I know... Must go buy book now. *sigh* Moving right along.

Speaking of going somewhere...

If you could pick one author past or present to have lunch with, what would you eat?

Abby: I love shrimp. So, I'd have a seafood platter...although I might skip the crab. I always make a mess when I eat that. 

Okay, okay… and who would it be?

Abby: Koontz! Man, I'd like to get into his mind. He has to be one deep dude. I think he'd enjoy a lunch with an erotic author. In fact, I'd like to talk to him about making one of his characters an erotic author...I bet we could hatch out a plot over the tartar sauce.

That is not at all what I expected! Great answer though. See folks, a lady with taste AND talent. *wink*

All right, Ms. Daisy Dukes and Biker Boots, is there anything else you would like to add?

Abby: You about covered it. :-) I do have a few books out/coming out, so feel free to follow me on my website or give a shout out at one of the many places I hang out.
