I\u2019m delighted to be back here at the Season! Thank you for inviting me. <strong> <span style=\"color: #008000;\">MY RECKLESS SURRENDER<\/span><\/strong> is the story of a dangerous seduction in late Regency London. Diana Carrick has the opportunity to turn all her dreams into reality but in return, she has to seduce notorious rake Tarquin Vale, Earl of Ashcroft. Needless to say, trouble follows! Oh, and yes, that is one bodacious cover! That yellow is just gorgeous and I love that sexy glint in Diana\u2019s eye. You know this is a woman who will cause mayhem in the hero\u2019s heart!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>MY RECKLESS SURRENDER<\/strong><\/span>, which is also one of <span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>The Season\u2019s June Top Picks<\/strong><\/span> with <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>10 Star<\/strong> <\/span>perfect rating, isn\u2019t as dark as your previous novels. Does this mean you\u2019re headed in a new direction with books in a slightly lighter tone? Or are you just going to keep us on our toes by mixing it up?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnonesize-full wp-image-2253\" title=\"Answer\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Answer.png?resize=90%2C28\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nWow, that\u2019s great news, Beverley. Thank you! I\u2019m so glad you enjoyed this story which as you said is a bit of a departure for me. For a start, the hero isn\u2019t tortured \u2013 or at least he\u2019s not when the story opens. Once Diana\u2019s had her way with him (ahem!), that might change! I think there\u2019s still a lot of emotional depth in this story \u2013 both characters have a long journey to make before their happily ever after. But yes, I agree, the tone is lighter than something like <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong> CAPTIVE OF SIN<\/strong><\/span>. The next story (no title confirmed yet but it will be out mid-2011) is similar in tone to <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>MY RECKLESS SURRENDER<\/strong><\/span>. The one after that is probably going to be closer to <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>CAPTIVE OF SIN<\/strong><\/span>. Tone seems to come with each individual story so what happens next can be as much of a surprise to me as to the reader!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nWhat do you find so appealing about writing about the early 19th century England? Do you think you\u2019ll ever base any of your historicals in a different era, perhaps even century?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnonesize-full wp-image-2253\" title=\"Answer\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Answer.png?resize=90%2C28\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nWould I sound shallow if I said men in boots? Yeah, I probably would! Actually, all jokes aside I love the elegance and the wit of the Regency era. I love that it was a heyday of decadence (particularly the late Regency, the reigns of George IV and William IV) before the straitlaced Victorians took over. I love the fact that readers love this period! At the moment, I have no plans to move outside the Regency, but I have a Viking story lurking at the back of my mind and one day, it might be fun to visit the children of some of my heroes and heroines and see what they make of life. So that means tackling the Victorian era!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nSome of my favourite tropes include the brother\u2019s best friend, or the reunited lovers. Do you have a favourite theme you either love to read or write about?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnonesize-full wp-image-2253\" title=\"Answer\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Answer.png?resize=90%2C28\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nWell, I think most of my books fall into the <strong><em>Beauty and the Beast<\/em> <\/strong>trope, perhaps not <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">MY RECKLESS SURRENDER<\/span><\/strong> so much. Hmm, I\u2019ll have to think about that more. Although Diana definitely beards the beast in his lair to get what she wants and the beast isn\u2019t nearly so beastly as she was expecting. So maybe MRS is a BATB story too. I love the fairytale\/mythological underpinning to a romance. I\u2019m such a big romance reader, I\u2019m a sucker for most of the tropes, frankly! Love fish out of water, Cinderella, friends into lovers, hatred into love, forbidden love, love versus honor, opposites attract, you name it! I wrote my first reunion story for<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"> <\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">THE<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">MAMMOTH BOOK OF REGENCY ROMANCE<\/span><\/strong> which is out at the end of June. That was such fun to put together! I loved giving those two characters a second chance at love.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nIf you had to choose, which to you is more important, the sexual tension or the love scenes?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnonesize-full wp-image-2253\" title=\"Answer\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Answer.png?resize=90%2C28\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nOoh, that\u2019s tough! Actually I think sexual tension can continue into a love scene \u2013 or at least dramatic tension does. I love writing sexual tension, that complicated dance! But then I love writing love scenes when the characters aren\u2019t just naked physically, they\u2019re naked emotionally too. Sorry, I know it\u2019s a cop-out, but can\u2019t choose!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nWho and what kinds of books did you read growing up?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3305\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3305\" style=\"width: 202px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3305\" title=\"myrecklesssurrender\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/myrecklesssurrender.jpg?resize=202%2C327\" alt=\"\" width=\"202\" height=\"327\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3305\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">10 Star ~ June Top Pick!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnonesize-full wp-image-2253\" title=\"Answer\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Answer.png?resize=90%2C28\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nI\u2019ve always been a voracious reader. I\u2019ll read the back of the milk carton if all else fails. As a kid, I read most of the classics, Heidi, Enid Blyton, horse books by the gazillion. I moved onto adult books fairly early \u2013 I must have been about eight when I read my first Georgette Heyer and I was that age when my mother gave me my first Harlequin to shut me up (she was desperate, poor thing, LOL!). In my early teens, I was mad on historical fiction like Jean Plaidy. About that stage, I devoured Barbara Cartland and Victoria Holt and Anya Seton. Clearly I was headed towards historical romance as a lifelong obsession!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nIf you had to pick one, which author or books most influenced your decision to become a writer?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnonesize-full wp-image-2253\" title=\"Answer\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Answer.png?resize=90%2C28\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nWhat a great question. You know, I think it might be Enid Blyton. I can remember reading her under the covers with a torch and she introduced me to that burning need to finish a story, even if the world collapsed around me. She had a great gift for compelling plots and characters you cheered for.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nWhat\u2019s coming up for you next? Can you share any part of the story\u2019s plotline with us?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnonesize-full wp-image-2253\" title=\"Answer\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Answer.png?resize=90%2C28\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nWell, this is the book currently untitled \u2013 in fact, currently in a rather messy draft on my computer! It\u2019s a twist on a few themes that I\u2019ve always loved \u2013 secret identity, the Ugly Duckling, the Regency rake undone by love (although it takes him a long time to accept that\u2019s the case), revenge, redemption. There are more of the traditional Regency trappings in this story and they were huge fun to write. I got to step into the glamorous Georgette Heyer world for once!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nIs there anything else you\u2019d like to tell the readers about you or your book?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnonesize-full wp-image-2253\" title=\"Answer\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Answer.png?resize=90%2C28\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nI\u2019m really excited about <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>MY RECKLESS SURRENDER <\/strong><\/span>hitting the stands on 25th May.
