Beth Kery Interview & Giveaway Week 2

08/07/2012

Beth Kery’s new erotic serial novel, Because You Are Mine, is entering it’s second explosive week! Did you guys read Because You Are Mine 1, Because You Tempt Me yet? That was part 1, and Part two, Because You Are Mine 2, Because I Could Not Resist comes out today.

This Eight Part serial novel is being released weekly through September 18. Each week, readers are treated to another two meaty chapters of this delicious, BDSM themed erotic romance novel.

This book has been marketed to the Fifty Shades/Bared to You market, so if you liked those, you will absolutely love this serial. The serial concept, though not new, is still fairly unique. The fun part is, we can all read the week’s book together then chat about it!

Each week Beth Kery is joining us here at Ana’s Attic to answer more of my questions, as well as some of yours, so come by and ask away. Beth will choose 2 questions a week to answer and give away your choice of installments of the Because You Are Mine serial. Check out last week’s Q & A with Beth Kery here.

First, to announce our winner for last week……….ANAIS GARCIA!!!! Congratulations!!! I will be sending you an e-mail shortly. 🙂

Next, here are answers to some questions you left for Beth.

Question from Limecello:

“Hi Beth, Happy release day! I wanted to know – what do you think, is this a one off, or will you be doing more of it? Also, when all eight parts are out, will people be able to buy it as a whole? Then also – what inspired you to write the characters in Because You Are Mine?”

A. Limecello–I’ve been asked by Berkley to write another serial in Ian and Francesca’s world, which is due out in January 2013. And yes, when all eight parts, it is the hope that all parts will be available to buy as a whole. As for inspiration for characters, I love art and had recently acquired a painting put  me in mind of Francesca. The artist is inspired by and knowledgeable about architecture, and does these amazing cityscapes that seem to bring the buildings alive. Francesca is very bright and talented, and I liked the idea of her mixing the creative freedom of painting with the technical skill of architecture. As for Ian, he’s got that brooding, enigmatic character like a Harlequin Presents hero but a thousand times sexier. I wanted him to not be a vague billionaire, but one who’s fortune was made in the knowable, popular Internet gaming, social media and retail industry. It gave him a sense of approachability that he created things which we all know and use. As for his looks, I did have a famous person in mind for him just for physical characteristics, but hesitate to say, because then you might be disappointed or have him look differently in your mind. 🙂 Do you want to take a guess on Ian Noble’s physical model?

Note from Ana: I picture him as Joe Manganiello meets Keanu Reeves
Question from Donna Loveless:
Were you familiar with Fifty Shades prior to writing your book?
 
A. Hi Donna. I was familiar, although unlike many people, not until late in the game. I live in a cave, I swear. Writing makes me a social misfit. I became aware of Fifty Shades when various media sites and blogs were naming my book Wicked Burn in a “If you liked Fifty Shades, you’ll like…” type of way, along with Explosive and Sweet Restraint. 
 
My Questions:

Q. Since you have been writing erotic romance with alpha males longer, how does it feel to be compared to E.L. James’ book?

A. People compare you to what they know, and lots and lots of people know E.L. James and the Fifty Shades books right now. I may have been writing longer, but I didn’t hit the nerve she did with the readers. It’s hard to be anything but flattered when being compared to a phenomenal success story like E.L. James’.

Q.Where do you get your ideas for all of your books? (Not just Because You Are Mine)

A. Most of them come to me while I’m in traffic with my stereo playing really loud. Go figure.

Q. What do you like most about being a writer?

A. Finishing a book! It really is rewarding. I find that I have sort of a tension level that will NOT go away until I finish a book. When I finally send it into my editor it feels so great. Until the next book idea pops into my head in traffic, that is.

Q. Are there any actors you have in mind for Ian and Francesca if this ever became a movie?
I’m stumped in regard to one for Francesca. She’s beautiful, but she’d have to come off as being believable as smart and talented…an unpolished gem. Do you have any ideas?

I alluded to the fact earlier with Donna’s question that I did have a physical appearance model in mind for Ian Noble, although if you see him differently, I give you absolute free rein to do so! The reader’s imagination mixes with the prose, creating a very individual experience, and I would hate to ruin that for you. However, the very beautiful and imposing Jonathan Rhys Meyers was my inspiration in regard to looks alone for Ian. I actually think with this intensity, he also would be a great choice for the role. I’d love to see JRM decked out in Savile Row suits (and out of them), and why can I just imagine him perfectly in that fencing scene?

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1463655168/nm0001667
(He is way younger and smaller than I pictured, I’m going to stick with my imagination)
 

Thanks Beth for joining us again this week! I look forward to you answering more next week, and I can’t wait to read Because You Are Mine 3, Because You Haunt Me.

    Added them to my wishlist and will start with part one as soon as I finish the book I am reading right now. I like that the books are quite short so I can squeeze them “in between” 2 reads 😉

    My question to Beth: What kind of books to you enjoy to read?

The first two books in this series by @carabastone were at the top of my 2021 Favorite list. Seatmate will be on the list for 2022. This made-for-audio book is best experienced with headphones. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation, and it just made Seatmate by Cara Bastone another 5 star favorite.

Much Ado About You by Samantha Young is a booklove Much Ado About You by Samantha Young is a booklover’s fantasy romance. It was light, a little cheesy and predictable, but I still enjoyed listening to every word. Samantha did a fabulous job of transporting us to this little English town and falling for the townspeople and the bookstore. If you’re looking for a light and easy read that will keep you smiling, I think this would be a good one.

“You may think you’re dark,” I told him. “ “You may think you’re dark,” I told him. “And I’m finding you are. Dark like this.” I indicated the room with a sweep of my flute. “Edged in gossamer and crystal. Lit with fire. A beautiful cocoon where I feel safe, truly safe, for the first time in my life.”

Though it took me a long time to finally try, The Fantasyland Series by Kristen Ashley is one of my all-time favorite series. So I can’t tell you how excited I was to hear that Kit wrote another book in the series! I think Gossamer in the Darkness by @kristenashleybooks is enough to pull in the last holdouts who think they don’t want to read fantasy.

When I was 37, my 7 year old begged me daily for a When I was 37, my 7 year old begged me daily for a little brother (or sister). We obliged, but because of my age and I had lupus, the pregnancy was high-risk. At 17 weeks I had an amniocentesis. 2 weeks later we got the devastating news that our baby, the sibling my son was begging for, had some major genetic abnormalities, plus heart problems. If she survived the birth she would need multiple surgeries & would likely never leave the hospital. 

We made the most devastating decision to end the pregnancy. The baby we made FOR my son would just crush him. It would take me away from him. He would watch her suffer and be in pain. And how would we pay for it all?

Four months after, I became pregnant again with my wonderful son who is now 16.  Despite 8 years difference, he and his brother are best friends. They have both had a great life with a mom who was fully present for both of them.

I thank Roe v Wade every day that I was able to make that CHOICE. It was the most devastating, horrible decision we ever had to make. But it was the RIGHT CHOICE, both for that baby & my family. Plus, my son wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t made that CHOICE. These decisions are NEVER easy. They are deeply personal and usually horrific. 

Until the government can pay to keep all these babies fed, clothed and homed. Until they can pay for medical bills and the parents to leave work, until they can provide for the needs of the babies women are forced to have, they need to stay out of our bodies. I’m scared for the future of all of our rights.

“Oh, I’ll give you hot flashes.”

Nobody else but Tara Sivec can make me literally laugh out loud and bawl my eyes out at the same time. I look for books with older couples, so I’ve read a good number of them, but this portrayal actually felt the most real of any to me.
With This Flirt by @authortarasivec is my first 5++ star book of 2022!

If you are a fan of Cat and Bones, or you just want to start a new series, I 100% recommend The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost.

It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s F It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s Fantasyland world again! I tried to read as slow as possible because I just didn’t want to leave. Though the whole Fantasyland series is best read in order, Gossamer in the Darkness easily stands alone. You don’t have to like fantasy or regency to love this, you just have to love romance. I am so happy to have this as a new addition to one of my favorite series, and now I may have to go and listen to the entire series again.

@catherinecowlesauthor has a way of blending steamy romance, angst, suspense, family, found family, friendship, kids, and a whodunnit into something completely unique and special. Falling Embers may be my favorite yet.
