SEELIE KAY (Cont.)
INTERVIEW
MFRW:
SK: Why did you decide to write romance novels?
Because I am fascinated by the games people play
to find and secure a lasting relationship, which is
not always love. There’s the chase, the courtship,
the falling, the surrender. That’s what I try to cap-
ture in my stories.
MFRW: How much of your personality and life experiences
are in your writing?
My personality and my life experiences all factor
into my books, most notably my world view and
my values. There are certain themes in my books:
Relationships thrive when working toward a com-
mon goal, true love requires acceptance and re-
spect, love comes in all shapes and sizes, love is not
just for the young, and finally, freedom and justice
are worth fighting for.

certain couples I fell
in love with: The
Sheikh and his
American lawyer wife
who sue terrorists on
behalf of their vic-
tims, the police chief
(with a preference for
handcuffs) and his criminal defense attorney wife
who seek to right wrongs, and the covert agent and
his law professor wife, who are smart, funny, and
incredibly hot! Each of these couples have wonder-
ful relationships and incredible lives. And each and
every one of them is dedicated to preserving jus-
tice. I wanted their stories to continue. So, I created
the Feisty Lawyers series. The second, Snatching
Dianna deals with a law student who is kidnapped
by a slave trafficking cartel. This plot permitted me
to focus not only on the continuing problem of
slave trafficking, but also on the investigative issues
behind finding a missing adult. In this story, there
is no evidence and no witnesses. It’s takes a lot of
investigative savvy to piece together seemingly un-
related clues. I love complex puzzles and this story
lets me go wild!
Would you like to write a different genre or sub-
genre than you do now?
Snatching Dianna is my first attempt at romantic
suspense. I almost hate to admit this, but in my
fantasies, Emma Peel (“The Avengers”) is my alter
ego. My new Feisty Lawyers series embraces that.
And while the books in this series are thrillers,
there is still time for some erotic romance!
Tell us about your latest book. What motivated the
story? Where did the idea come
from? Where do your story ideas
usually come from?
SK:
Actually, I wrote
Snatching Dianna for two rea-
sons. First, when writing the
Kinky Briefs series, there were

SK:
Do you feel humor is important in fiction and why?
Life is funny, and it plays out in relationships and
events. And personally,
I love to laugh and
make others laugh. I
try to bring that humor
into my stories.
