About Dee S. Knight
A few years ago, Dee S. Knight made a career move that finally made getting up in the morning fun. During the day, her characters killed people, got married, became drunk with power or sober with responsibility. And sex. They had sex, over and over. What fun! On her word processor anything could happen to anyone. Writing about sex-and all that other stuff-was so much fun, Dee decided to keep at it. Sex, murder and mayhem is how she spends her days. Her nights? Well, that's between her and her dream man/childhood sweetheart/long-time hubby. They now reside in the Great Midwest, happily sharing the adventure they call life.

An Interview with Dee S. Knight
By Holly Hewson for The Romance Studio
HH: Dee, thank you for talking with us at TRS. Please tell us about your featured book, The Triple S Bride. Holly, thanks so much for letting me visit and tell your readers about The Triple S Bride.DSK: The Triple S is a cattle ranch on C8282, a planet on the far edge of the universe. The S in this case stands for Sheridan, Walt, Charlie and Dan, the brothers who moved from Earth years before to start life anew on C8282. Sabina Volt escapes her powerful, abusive fiancé on Earth and being arrested on a trumped up charge by becoming a mail order bride. The catch is, she thinks she's marrying one Sheridan when in fact the deal is for all three. She has to decide if she's willing to be a Sheridan wife in every sense of the word or chance Walt's sending her back to Earth where she faces dire consequences. It's a scorching ménage.
HH: Your heroine flees one cruel man to marry another man (three come to find out) in a very different place. Where did you get the idea for this sizzling tale? DSK: My goal was to write a western set in the future and I didn't particularly want to use Earth as the locale. I created C8282 where I could have my characters do anything they wanted without the moral or physical restrictions of Earth. Then I had to think of how I would get Sabina to such a far-off place and mail order brides came to mind. I didn't really have a set plan. One idea led to another and another.
HH: What can you tell us about C8282? DSK: Sabina says that C8282 isn't the end of the universe but you can see it from there. Saying it's remote is an understatement. At the time of the story, Earth can no longer support itself, so other planets are colonized for farming and animal husbandry and the food is shipped back home. C8282 is best known for cattle. The processed beef is shuttled back. The planet has two suns and weak moons. Surface water can't be used, so hydrogen powered, windmill like contraptions draw water from deep in the ground. The most frightening predators are a hairless, nasty creature called a versa and grenetts who pick clean any meat the versas leave. They aren't the kinds of things you'd like to meet in a dark alley.
Despite the danger posed by native animals and the ferocious heat of the two suns, C8282 also provides stark and sweeping vistas that Sabina comes to realize are beautiful in their own way.
I've never created a world like C8282 before. Now I understand why writers who envision fantasy settings for their books get caught up in the creation. What fun to make everything any way you want them to be!
HH: What do you like best about Sabina and how do you relate to her? DSK: Sabina isn't a strong woman at the beginning of the book. Her actions are based on fear. She's run from Kevin, her fiancé, instead of standing up and finding a way to fight him. Even her acceptance of her situation--meaning engaging in relations with three different men in order to fulfill her marriage contract--is because she worries about what will happen if she doesn't, not because she accepts a challenge. Only when she starts to care more about what Kevin will do to the Sheridans instead of worrying what might happen to her does she grow into a woman of purpose and strength. I like that she willingly sacrifices herself for the safety of the men she loves. And once begun, she accepts her sexuality and the world of the ménage.
HH: What else do you have in store for lucky readers? DSK: I have several things on tap, one of which is another Siren Tasty Treat. I'll be working on that in the next few months, so I hope everyone will continue to check out my website and Siren Publishing!
HH: What do you think your characters do when you aren't looking? <g> DSK: The lazy bums are probably just out screwing around. (Pun intended, lol)
HH: What would you most like to accomplish this year?
DSK: I would love to spend a couple of weeks on the road with Jack. We so enjoyed our time trucking, and while I'm not interested in going back out full time, I would love to recapture some of the good times. I would also love to write four of the books I've had in mind and planned out for a long time.
HH: What are you reading these days?
DSK: I just finished Turning Angel by Greg Iles. I'm currently reading a Tori Carrington Blaze, and I have books by Amber Carlton, Raina James, Rhiannon Neeley, Jenny Penn and Jasmine Haynes on my TBR stack. I'm also critiquing Cheryl Norman's coming soon romantic suspense (which is great!). It will be released later this year.
HH: Any exciting plans for the summer? DSK: Not really. I'm laying low and trying to write, trying to spend time with the trucker hubby and take care of business. All in air conditioned comfort I hope. =)
Thanks so much for this chance to talk about The Triple S Bride! I hope everyone will check my website frequently and join my newsletter for up to date information on contests and new books.
HH: Thank you!
