An Interview with Cheryl Dragon
By Holly Hewson for The Romance Studio
HH: Cheryl, thank you for talking with us at TRS BLUE! Please tell us about your featured book, Abducting Andrea.CD: Thanks for having me! Abducting Andrea has probably one of the hottest covers I've gotten. I love it!! And it really truly shows you what the book is about. Some kinky sex, a little dominance, and a lot of spanking. Andrea is truly bratty to Jake at times, because before he never gave in to her and what they both need. This time he'll give her everything and more!
Blurb:
When an attack is confirmed against the rich and powerful Edington family, Raider’s Bodyguard Service springs into action. Jake Raider is assigned the independent but spoiled Andrea. He’s protected her before but this time he’s bringing the tools to tame her and make her his.
There are plenty of things Andrea wants to do with Jake but none of them involve business. In the past, he rejected her advances but this time he’s giving her what she wants and making her beg for more. Exploring the sexual needs they’ve denied, she’s at his mercy and loving it.
HH: A really great twist on a favorite type of story. She's the rich girl in need of protection. He's the bodyguard. But she wants more and he can't resist her any longer. It's on! Where did you get the idea for their story? CD: I wanted to do the rich girl/bodyguard story but where the heroine knows she needs not only protection but discipline and restraint. Andrea is impulsive and emotional and it's not just sexual, it's her personality. He understands her and is what she needs to be more in balance. And she's the answer to his sexual impulses as well.
HH: What do you like best about Andrea and how do you think readers will relate to her? CD: Andrea being rich and spoiled is really only a small part of the story. She wanted to be her own person from a young age. Hard-working, she made her own business a success. Getting Jake isn't as easy as working hard or throwing money around. She cares about him, trusts him to be straight with her and yet he's resisted. But like any true heroine, she doesn't give up and even while she fights him about being in a safe house, she loves being with him. Once Jake takes their relationship to the next level, she's won....even if looks like he has all the power.
HH: What do you think readers will like best about Jake? CD: Jakes is an honorable and trustworthy guy who can be kinky and bossy. He's sexy but always does his best to keep business and personal separate. The man has self-control but Andrea pushes it, snaps it, and toys with him even when he's got her tied up and begging. We should all have a Jake!
HH: What else do you have in store for lucky readers? CD: The next Raider's Bodyguard story comes out in November. PUSHING PENNY is a BBW with bdsm....the cover is amazing!!
Here's a little taste (the unedited blurb):
Going to Italy with a sexy man should be hot but for Penny it’s all business. The plus sized designer of plus sized fashions, she met Grayson Raider at her best friend’s wedding. While she doesn’t expect trouble, Penny’s rich Texas family is overprotective. No reason to protest, Grayson makes her feel safe and beautiful.
Grayson knew the moment he met Penny that she was the challenge he’d been looking for. Confident in her work, Penny needs to let him lead in the bedroom. His Dom side enjoys giving her pleasure and pushing her limits. Being tied up naked by a man she's paying to protect her is hot enough but when he starts using mirrors and fashion to drive her crazy, Penny isn’t sure she can handle him.
HH: With the growing popularity of ebooks readers like Nook and Kindle, what do you see in the future for ebooks? CD: Considering that phones can call, text, surf the web, and store just about anything....books are the next thing to be digitally enhanced. It's great! It saves space, paper (read green! why not?) and it's cheaper for everyone! In this economy we all need an escape and buy ebooks means you can buy a few more than paperbacks. I think the technology will only get better!
HH: As an author, has ebook piracy had an impact on you?
CD: This is where technology needs to catch up! It's so hard to tell if people read and like your books if there's not record of it being bought. At a recent conference, a reader asked the same question. I told the table that as an author, I don't care where they buy the book. If they prefer ARe or Fictionwise, that's fine. If they feel better going right to the publisher's site, that's good too. Amazon, etc....Everyone has their own sales/discounts/rebates/programs so the readers should go where they get the best deal! All I ask is they don't pirate. No one wants their work stolen. Until technology catches up to stop piracy, the readers doing the right thing is the best defense.
HH: What made you want to become an author in the first place?
CD: All those voices in my head. It took me a while but when I was young I figured out that my little sister didn't have all those stories constantlyt turning up in her head. There's a point where you need to get it out of your head and put it on paper. Sharing it with others is another plus. But there's not off switch for this gift.
HH: What is your happiest moment as an author to this point? CD: Happiest? The happiest moment is when a reader gets a story and really enjoys it. For me there's a click with every book. The point when I'm writing it where the characters and the plot mesh and it's all fitting so well I know the book will work. When a reader gets that, it's the best feeling!
HH: Any big plans for the fall? CD: Write, write, write! I have a holiday story coming out in Sept called Hot Holiday Houseguests. And a menage + with sexy air force men due out in December. No covers to share there yet.
Right now I'm working on a m/m/m shifter for January....
HH: Thank you!
