An Interview with Sable Grey
By Holly Hewson for The Romance Studio
HH: Sable, thank you so much for talking with at TRS. Please tell us about your featured book, Passion of the Wolf.
SG:Passion of the Wolf is the first book of my Blaidden Wolf Trilogy at Breathless Press. It’s an exciting historical about the leader of a Viking horde of wolf shifters and Cait Gilpatrick, a willful and feisty heroine who does not just roll over and do what she’s told. The book, released in September of 2009 has been extremely successful and the readers seem to love the chemistry between Biel and Cait. When the reviews started coming in, I was blown away by how much this story was loved.
Excited by the book’s popularity, I launched a perfume of the same name, Passion of the Wolf. The scent itself is inspired by the heroine Cait, and is an intoxicating blend of sensuality, strength, and classic sophistication. Thus far, every woman who’s tried the perfume loves it and I’m happy that it is doing so well so quickly. I even have men ordering the perfume for their wives because they like the way it smells too. See, it works with a woman’s natural body chemistry...so it never stinks like some perfumes do on some women. On me, the perfume smells woodsy and spicy. On others it’s softer, a very classic flower scent, and still on others it’s more of a youthful fruity scent. It’s perfect for any woman...as if it truly does bring out each woman’s individual passion.
HH: Your heroine thinks her situation has gone from bad to worse. But all isn't as it seems. Where did you get the idea for this emotionally-charged story?
SG: When I write a story, one of the most important things to me is to make certain my characters are believable. Cait’s perspective of the world around her changes throughout the story, just as our own perspectives change in our real lives as we go through life. Because of the events, Cait is forced to grow up and see the world around and the people in it for what and who they truly are – a lesson that many of us face and learn at some point in our lives. Cait is young when she must learn this lesson and I tried very hard to make her transition through the changes as believable as I could.
The idea for this story? LOL Okay, honestly, the original idea came from this picture of Vladimir Kulich as his character Buliwyf in the The Thirteenth Warrior: http://uashome.alaska.edu/~dfgriffin/website/buliwyf.gif. He looks so strong and foreboding. The character is based off of Beowulf so I decided I wanted a Viking wolf story, a large group of brothers who shared a deeper and more dangerous bond.
HH: What do you like best about Cait and how do you relate to her?
SG: LOL. Cait’s fight is my favorite part of the story. When I was writing the first scenes with Cait and Biel, I tried to imagine how I would be if some man was there to take my home and force me to marry him. Okay, so maybe I couldn’t stop a Viking horde...but I could try to make them regret they ever laid eyes on me. And that’s just what Cait sets out to do. She bites him, claws the crap out of him, punches him, kicks him, hits him with a candelabra, a big stick, and tries to run him through with a sword. And then she steals his horse. If a man can love a woman after that, it’s true love right?
HH: What do you like best about Biel and why might he be the one for her?
SG: Biel is a mixture of Viking fierceness and what we all love about a hero. When Cait strikes out, it stirs him. He doesn’t really try to tame her...not really. He likes her fight too much. Biel is an alpha through and through. But that’s just too easy. When I developed his character, I wanted him to be more than the brute that tells Cait what to do for her own good. I wanted him to have deeper emotions and by giving him the bond with his brother wolves, it created a part of his personality that would allow him to love passionately and deeply, and show respect and patience for the warrior qualities he saw in Cait.
HH: What sort of research went into this story??
SG: I did a lot of research about Vikings of course. I also did a lot of research on names for the characters of the Viking brothers. All of their names, including the name Blaidden (their new home) are derived from some word in Old Norse, Norwegian, Icelandic, and the Swedish language that means wolf.
The wolf shifter aspect and the bond between the Vikings was from my own imagination though. I know my wolves don’t ever follow the wolf shifter guidelines but that’s the fun of them. They are something a little different.
HH: What else do you have in store for lucky readers?
SG: Passion of the Wolf is just the first book of this trilogy. Currently I am working on the second title, Craving of the Wolf, and the third, Hunger of the Wolf for Breathless Press. There is a little whisper that this trilogy will be available in print at some point.
I’m also currently working on another trilogy for Total-e-Bound called Heart of the Wolf. The first book, His to Want, has been accepted. This is a historical wolf shifter series set in London. His to Have and Theirs to Possess are currently in the works.
Also at Total-e-Bound, my contemporary wolf thriller, Shadow Wolf, releases this month (January 4th).
And I’m working on a paranormal historical called Midnight for Breathless Press – a very naughty story with a mist shifter, a wolf, and an underground sex show theater.
Of course that is not ALL I’m working on – I always have at least five titles in the works at any given time.
HH: What other projects do you have planned that readers might be interested?
SG: The Sable Grey e-book club – I’m working on making it better and adding it as part of the membership features at my site. Right now it’s just a yahoo group. The Sable Grey Magazine has been put on hold because of the recent death and illness in my family. So I’m working on getting that back up and running. And of course my perfume, Passion of the Wolf.
At Cobblestone Press, we’ve decided to move our yearly conference, Words in Motion (WIM), to June in celebration of the start of our fifth year as a digital publisher. This is normally one of our largest events at Cobblestone Press and this year our theme will be multi-cultural romance and erotic romance. We expect a huge turn out with lots of fun for authors, readers, and publishers alike.
HH: What's a typical day like for you?
SG: Okay you asked. It’s not romantic at all.
7:00-8:00 I get up and check emails. Because I am one of the owners of Cobblestone, an author, an artist, a lit agent, and now the business owner of Sable Grey LLC the email in the morning is insane (not to mention all the spam emails I get for penis enlargement...one of these days I’m going to buy the penis enlargement pills and then sue them for false advertisement when I don’t grow a penis).
9:00 After a shower, I do whatever cover art assignments I have to do. Then I do updates on my website and work on whatever projects I have going on at Sable Grey LLC. This is usually when I do whatever literary agent work I’ve got to do and email my clients with updates on our progress with their manuscripts. I also hit the links, The Romance Studio included, to see what’s up around the e-book industry.
(take dogs out for their morning walk and play time)
12:00 Noon, I try to remember to eat lunch. Run errands. Call Deanna Lee to talk about Cobblestone Press. I get to work on anything I need to do for Cobblestone after our conference call.
(take dogs out for their afternoon walk and play time)
4:30 is DOMESTIC SABLE TIME. I love to cook so I enjoy the time to prepare the meal. Brandi, the submissions editor at Cobblestone usually gives me a call right about now during her commute home from her day job. My husband comes home. We catch up on one another’s day while I cook. After our meal, we might watch a show together. Play time with the dogs is always fun in the evening but then it’s back to work for me.
I use my evenings to write. If it’s there, I might write all night long. If it’s not, I network with other authors and update my Facebook and MySpace pages, Twitter, and exchange youtube videos with Kaye Spencer via yahoo messenger.
Then I toddle off to bed and get a couple of hours of sleep before I start over again.
Yes, this is my typical day. It’s not romantic, I know, but I’m not complaining. I am doing what I love. It’s always a busy day and my joke is that being this fabulous is a 15 hour a day job. LOL Weekends, I don’t go at it quite as hard and end up using most of Sat and Sun to just write or visit with my family.
HH: What do you enjoy reading personally?
SG: I love historical romance. Give me a Scotsman in a kilt who throws the woman over his shoulder and carries her across the Highlands any day. I like to be lost in the romance and the history of books written by Iris Johansen, Bertrice Small, Susan King, and Karen Hawkins. And yes, I’m a huge fan of the bodice ripper covers...I just can’t help myself.
Aside from romance, I have a pretty impressive library of books that I use for my historical research. One of my projects on my website is to create a digital library to match the one in my home so that those who share an interest in history can see what books I’m reading while I’m writing. It’s a HUGE undertaking and will not be something completed very quickly.
HH: What would you most like to accomplish this year?
SG: Well first and foremost, I’d like to lose a little weight. That may not sound like something to accomplish but when you sit at a desk most of the day, even when you aren’t eating but one meal a day, that meal goes straight to the butt. LOL Note to Passion of the Wolf perfume followers: my butt will not be featured in any of the new perfume ads until I lose 25lbs.
I’d like to get my online store, Trader Grey, up and running this year. I’d also like to get my The E Book Market going...where I will be selling affordable pre-designed cover art, original photography for cover artists to use, and template designs for Wordpress sites for authors. I’m really excited about this project!
And of course...as always write more books! Normally I only have four or five titles released a year (I can’t imagine why so few with such a lazy schedule...not) so I’d really like to see at least 10 new releases in 2010. More would be great but I dream big but not ridiculous. Shadow Wolf is the first release this year at Total EBound. So now just 9 more to go!
