What is one of your favorite things about writing?
One of my favorite things about writing is that I have total control creative control over the world I’ve created. It’s mine. My imagination can run wild, and I can give my characters a happily ever after at the end. In real life, we don’t always get a happily ever after.
Would you tell us about your latest release?
Single mom and massage therapist Ella Winthrop isn’t looking for a relationship. She has enough problems without risking a business that barely meets her needs. Then her world is turned upside down by three men, each offering something she isn’t prepared for–love so deep it hurts, sex so hot she’s afraid she’ll melt from the pleasure, and a future beyond her wildest dreams.
Steamy businessman Cade Jackson has it all–money, looks, a giving heart, and a dominant nature–but Ella refuses to date a client even if she’s lusted after him for a year. After his brother’s death, Garrett Winthrop moves back to town opening old wounds and even darker fantasies. Dr. Derek McGregor gives her balance and understanding that speaks to her soul. All three men force Ella to question the limits of a traditional relationship.
On a side note, Ella’s Triple Pleasure has been a long time coming. I originally wrote the story a few years ago and went through forty versions – yep, you read that right 40 full versions – before settling in and pitching it to The Wild Rose Press. I loved these characters and the story line so much I had a hard time letting it go. There were so many other characters that didn’t make it into Ella’s story that I hope to breathe life to in other novels within this world.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on the stand alone sequel to my paranormal shifter romance One Night of Love. I’m also writing a sexy romance about Jerry Wynn, a character I fell in love with from Ella’s Triple Pleasure.
Do you have an excerpt from your latest release you would like to share?
A cold breeze swept over them, cooling off skin drenched with the heat of lust. No woman had ever affected him so intensely. No woman had ever refused to date him. No woman but beautiful and sweet Ella Winthrop.
She shivered.
“Are you cold?” He stopped in the darkness of the forest. He should have thought about the cool nights here and brought dinner up to the main house. He needed to be more considerate. “I can give you my shirt.”
He let go of her hand and lifted his tee. He was boiling walking next to her. He was more than eager to take off his shirt or anything else he could get off for that matter. He wanted to be naked between the bed sheets, or up against a tree, or in the grass, or hell, anywhere he could get her into a compromising position. But he had rules for a lasting relationship. Take things slow.
“No, no.” She shivered again. A pink blush filled her cheeks. “I’m not cold.”
She reached for the hem of his dark T-shirt halfway up his chest, but her warm hands touched his bare abs. She told the truth. She wasn’t cold. Maybe her reluctance in the car was because she wanted him as much as he wanted her.
He breathed in and slowly exhaled as her hand glided down to the waistband of his jeans. Please, a little farther. Unbutton them. Make the first, big move. Show me you want me so I can take over.
He tightened his abs, showing off the top and middle of his eight-pack.
She shivered again. Her breathing turned shallow. She stepped closer, and he swore she made a soft, moaning sound like she had in the car. He wanted to hear her moaning under him so badly he could barely think straight.
He sucked in his abs, wishing he had worn loose-fitting jeans, so she could slip her hand down and touch his dick. The magical hands that massaged his body every week would be on the places he fantasized about having them.
Her fingers lingered near the top button of his jeans.
He waited. His eyelids drooped. Please, do it. Do it, Ella.

What three words would the heroine of your story use to describe her love interest?
Ella would describe Cade as sexy, dominant, and supportive
Ella would describe Garrett as adventurous, brilliant, and strong.

Do you have a favorite character or characters you feel especially close to?
I feel closest to Ella. I was going through a rough time in my life when her character came to me. Sometimes life hits really hard and everything that could go wrong does. People knock you down and sometimes it’s a struggle just to breathe. Getting up is a Herculean effort, but you do because you have responsibilities, and if you’re old enough to have lived a little, you know that circumstances change over time. So, you make that effort and keep trudging through the mud until one day you look up and make a friend or an old friend comes back into your life or someone says something that you take to heart and you start making changes. Surviving suddenly feels more doable. Next thing you know you’re climbing out of the dark pit and soaking in the sun. That time in the darkness is just a part of your life’s journey, an experience to draw on, to remember, so when another hit comes you know the light it there, even if you can’t see it at the moment. The sun will shine down on you again.

When you’re not writing, what do you like to do?
When I’m not at my laptop, I love hanging out with my husband and three kids, playing with my two dogs, trying out the latest home fitness dvd program, and of course, reading a great romance.
Thank you, Kate, for having me on your blog. I had a lot of fun answering your questions.

Author Bio
Anna started writing romance as a by-product of insomnia. After a year of late night reading, she borrowed her son’s laptop and set about breathing life to her very own characters. A month later, she was surprised with a new laptop of her own to pursue her dreams.
With a B.A. in English Literature and a desire to fill her world with wonderful stories she and her close friends could not just talk about, but gush over, Anna shed the job as mom of three in the late night hours and assumed her alter ego of Dirty Girl.
