Happy Monday all and welcome to my
corner of the Meet the Author/ Interview with Character blog hop.
Those of you who know me, will have
often heard me say that I have very demanding heroes. Well, the hero of my
latest release, Elliot, is no exception to this rule.
When he heard about this hop, he told me
in no uncertain terms that he would interview me.
Yeeesss, well I wasn't going to argue
with him. He's a Man-Droid you see, a sentient, self-evolving, feeling
Man-Droid, no less, with a body made to withstand hurricane forces. He's also
over six feet tall, sex-on-legs-drool worthy, if I might say so myself, and
utterly devoted to his heroine.
Anyway, I digress, and he's giving me
his stare, so here's the interview.
****
Elliot:
Now that I have you where I want you,
Doris, answer me this. Why on earth did you decide to torture me with this
bouncing cock with a mind of its own? I'm an Orgasmatron, and I'm supposed to
be able to be in control of this.
Doris:
I try very hard not to smirk, but you
know those internal rants he had about this were some of the most fun things to
write. Call me evil. *sniggers*
Well, you wanted to be as human as you
could possibly be, so don't blame me. I have it on good authority that human
males have great difficulty controlling that body part, so…
I shrug my shoulders and try to adopt an
innocent air.
Elliot:
Don't even go there, Doris. We've seen
what you write, and I've been in your head, remember. Nothing innocent about
you.
He laughs and raises an eyebrow at me,
when I can't stop giggling.
Doris:
Yes, well, one could argue that you're
responsible for what's in my head, as you're dictating the story, Elliot, so I
maintain I'm innocent. Lord knows I try arguing with you blasted characters
enough, and do you ever listen. Well, do you?
I do my best to glare at him, which is
difficult, because he looks utterly adorable with that slightly sheepish look.
Of course it doesn't last long.
Elliot:
Of course we don’t listen. Why would we?
They're our stories you're telling. Your duty as an author is to simply tell
those stories to the best of your ability, is it not?
I have to concede he has a point, and I
mumble under my breath.
Pardon, my dear? I didn't quite catch
that. And besides, have we ever steered you wrong?
Doris:
No, you haven't. Alright, you win.
You're still blooming annoying though when you won't leave me alone and don't
blame me when your grand ideas go haywire. After all this trying to be human
business got you killed in the end.
Elliot winces and I feel a little sorry
for him.
Elliot:
That was not my finest moment, I grant
you. I deeply regret the pain that caused Beth. It was the only way to keep her
safe however.
Doris:
This is true, but we better talk about
something else, because you don't want to give too much away, do you Elliot.
He shakes his head
and smiles. Now I tell you that smile alone makes you want to drop your
knickers, as Beth found out to her cost in this story.
Elliot:
What's so amusing, Doris? You're
grinning away to yourself there, like the cat that got the cream.
Oh dear, busted.
Doris:
Oh, nothing, I was just thinking that
you lived up to your name in this story. You're being an Orgasmatron and all…
Elliot:
Naturally, I'm a great believer in being
of service to beautiful women, and Beth was so sad inside, I had to
cheer her up in the only way that I know how. Falling in love with her was an
unexpected bonus. But enough about me, this interview is supposed to be about
you. So, tell me, why do you write?
Doris:
Because I can't not write. I've always
had these stories in my head, for as long as I can remember. Once I actually
started to write them down, there was no stopping me. My muse bombards me with
ideas all the time. Actually managing to fit them all into my busy life as a
wife and mother is another matter. Still, I don't think I'm doing too badly,
mainly thanks to characters like you, Elliot, who will simply not stop shouting
at me, until I've written their story.
I grin at him and he smiles back and
gives me an exaggerated bow.
Elliot:
Like I said being of service to
beautiful women is my specialty.
Charmer!
On that subject, do you find it
difficult writing those sex scenes?
Doris:
Elliot! I
should counter that with don't you mind me being a voyeur to those activities?
Elliot:
Touché. You didn't set out to become an
Erotic writer though, did you?
Doris:
I laugh and roll my eyes.
No, I certainly didn't but you blooming
characters just can't stop jumping each other, can you.
Elliot:
Well, why would we? Sex is an important
part of any relationship, and when you first meet someone, it's only natural
that you can't keep your hands off that person. I'd wager you still ought to do
that, regardless of how long you've been together. Surely, you agree, Doris?
You have nine children, after all, the youngest of which is only two, and
you've been married twenty four years, right?
I nod and his smile grows sin itself.
One doesn't need a Man-Droid's advanced
logical powers to deduce that you two still have problems keeping your hands
off each other. Am I right?
Doris:
You know, you're right. It would be a
sorry state of affairs if we didn't. There are definite perks to writing and
reading Erotic Romance, and my husband would be the first to agree. That's also
the only information on that subject you're going to get out of me, Elliot, so
stop digging.
He laughs and I barely resist the urge
to stick my tongue out at him.
Elliot:
Okay then, some fun questions to finish
on. What's on your bucket list?
Doris:
Hmm, several things I will not admit to
you, because Hubby would kill me, lol. I'm afraid of heights, so this might
prove impossible, but I'd love to jump out of an aeroplane at some point. CODE
word: Tardis
Tour the US, visit New Zealand and
Australia, snorkel in a coral reef.
The usual stuff, really, and of course
have that all elusive mega bestselling book, that means we never have to worry
about money again.
Oh look, there is that formation of pigs
flying backwards again.
He frowns at me, bless him.
Elliot:
Never say never and all that, Doris.
Tell me something really quirky about you that no one else knows.
Doris:
Hmm, I don't know about quirky, but I'm
very much an introvert, who craves peace and quiet. Comes from being an only
child I guess, and yes, I know, it's beyond ironic that I ended up having nine
children, and peace and quiet never exists in this house. Even when they're
asleep they talk in their sleep! Still, I love them all dearly, and wouldn't
want to be without my big brood.
We live in a tiny bungalow that we call
the Tardis, because it's much bigger on the inside than it looks from the
outside, and oh I know.
This is definitely odd…
I'm German, yet cannot speak a word of
the language anymore after having been in the UK for the last twenty six years.
I can understand it, read it, etc. but actually speak it…
I'm told I sound like an English person
with pigeon German, which is rather amusing, because I still haven't entirely
lost my German accent.
Elliot:
Now that is amusing. Say something for
me in German. I need to test that theory.
Doris:
Not on your nelly.
I stick my tongue out at him and the
interview is over.

If you like the sound of Elliot's story,
here's the blurb:
[Siren Classic: Erotic Futuristic Sci-Fi
Romance, light bondage, spanking, HEA]
The plan had been simple. Sign up for
the sex android trial, so that she had a doting boyfriend to present at the
dreaded school reunion.
It was just her luck that Bethany Devlin
had to get the one man-droid with an emotion chip. Unable to resist Elliot's
charms, she finds in him the only partner she can truly submit to. If only he
was real and not just an illusion.
Elliot Parsons has a hard time coming to
terms with the fact that he has emotions. Orgasmatrons are programmed to
fulfill their partner's every sexual fantasy, but Beth proves to be so much
more than just another program to run through. He needs her submission like the
very air he pretends to breathe, and he will do anything to keep her safe.
Deciding what is love and what is lust
proves nigh on impossible when the government interferes. Time is running out…

authors participating, and have fun!
