Tell us about your book.
Love Unlocked is a sexy, suspenseful tale of how
two damaged art lovers become each other’s
salvation. An art thief and a painter might not seem
like a perfect match, but when the thief inspires the
painter to break out of his years-long artist’s block,
and the painter helps the thief pull off one last job,
they find that each might hold the key to the other’s
happiness.
What was your favorite part to write
and why?
Are there certain characters you
would like to go back to, or is there
a theme or idea you’d love to work
with?
I love the idea of good people doing bad things and
how they can reconcile their past misdeeds with the
kind of life they truly want to live. I firmly believe in
second chances and forgiveness and it’s always a
wonderful challenge to get my characters from the
dark side into the light. That being said, I’m also a
sucker for lighthearted holidays stories, and I’d love
to try my hand at a Christmas tale one of these days.
I had a blast writing about the fabulous treasures
Eve, my retired art thief, has picked up in her travels.
She has a crate full of priceless paintings that end
up gracing the walls of her house. It was great fun
to imagine impressionist masterpieces hanging on
bathroom walls and old school masters showing up
in guest rooms. Wouldn’t you love to have a Degas or
Cézanne in your bedroom?
What project are you working on
now?
I’m currently working on a trio of erotic novellas
all set during the same reunion/commencement
weekend at a liberal arts university. With my ten-year
reunion coming up, it’s very much on the brain!
