Libby writes
California-set steamy contemporary romances. She lives in Los Angeles with her
family and works off her weekly pilgrimage to in–N-Out by swimming and climbing
the city’s hidden staircases. She’s currently working on a trio of novellas
that take place during the reunion/commencement weekend at a New England
liberal arts college. Passionate History will be released soon by Decadent
Publishing. I love reunion stories so I’ll be first in line top pick this one
up!
***************************************************
What am I currently working on?
I write novellas for the 1 Night Stand series
from Decadent Publishing. Right now, I am editing a steamy Native American
eagle shifter romance, Eagle Dance. It’s the second book in the “Legend of the Spirit”
series. (Crow Magic was the first book.) In between edits I’m working on three
more Native American shifter stories for 1NS.
How
does my work differ from others of its genre?
I
write contemporary erotic romance and I'm currently playing with Native American
shifters (crow, eagle, hawk and falcon). I use sensuality and eroticism to emphasize
the spiritualism of sex and how it creates a unique bond between lovers.
Why
do I write what I do?
I
was told by my mentor to “write what you know”. Growing up in Michigan and
spending time near a Chippewa Reservation I became enthralled with the legends
and stories of the people. The tales of animal spirits and shifters show how
man/nature/woman work together to create balance in life. I center my novellas
on these ideas and collect my research on Tribes of the Great Lakes Region. I
give special thanks to two friends, Marion Roth & Ann Orr, for my Chippewa education.
How
does my writing process work?
I
get an idea in my head and it wormholes me! I have to write it down! My over
active imagination often creates more than one story at a time so I often work
on multiple stories. Once each story is like a movie in my head and I feel like
I’m simply recording it. After a story is complete, I print a hard copy and
read over it making corrections with a red pen. Once all changes/corrections
are complete, I submit to my publisher and prepare for edits.
Lucy Richards is tired of being timid around men.
Hoping to overcome her fears and feel like a real woman, she turns to Madame
Eve to find a man who will fulfill that goal. Eve arranges a one-night stand
with a handsome Shawnee shaman who will teach Lucy to use her womanly power and
take her to unimaginable heights.
Shape shifter Seth Crowe is a Keeper of the Spiritual Law who carries
souls from darkness to light, and enjoys using his body to accomplish his
magic.
Tucked away in the Castillo Poconos Resort, Seth
helps Lucy find spiritual and sexual freedom, never dreaming he might find his
own mate in the bargain.
