Hi Cassandre! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to host an interview with you on Naughty Nights Press. I am so excited to have you here!


1. Can you share a few “interesting facts” about your self? What is a typical day like for you? What “pet peeves” do you have if any? Where DO you get your incredibly hot ideas?

Interesting – I am an accomplished musician and singer. I love animals much more than people and I love to bake (used to own a catering company) and especially love to make all things decadent chocolate but I am completely allergic!

Typical day? This girl owns two companies, a community association management firm and a contracting firm so I to several hours of non-writing work every day. In the evenings I typically market and write for several hours – often outside when it’s lovely.

Pet Peeves? You bet. I don’t suffer fools easily and I tend to tell them what I think!

My naughty ideas come from anyplace and every place. Many of them in my dreams. There is little I can’t turn into a very wicked story. Challenge me…

2. How long have you been writing?

Since I was six, but for the last two years non-stop.

3. Do you write exclusively naughty erotic fiction?

No, I write under several pseudonyms and my work includes a vampire/devil series - In the Shadow of Darkness - under my real name and a campy murder mystery series called Pinked under Dakotah Black. But they all have sensual tones.

4. What was your goal for yourself as a writer when you started? Did you meet or surpass it or did it change for you along the way?

My goal was initially to get back to finishing a book – I did when I was a teenager and then stopped. I met that goal and raced past it. The second goal of course was to get published and now the goal is to get my wicked voice out there to everyone that will enjoy.

5. What is your writing process like? How long does it take you to finish a story from beginning to end?

I am a very fast writer. While I do come up with a story in my sinful little mind and put a handwritten portion on paper, I’ll go back a draft a basic outline and just start. Usually I can finish a long novella – 40,000 plus words in a little over a week. A novel tends to take longer as it’s more complex.

6. What do you love most about writing? What do you hate about it?

What do I love most? Love?? That I can be as wicked and wanton on paper as I want to be. The least? Hmmm…the waiting for either acceptance and to have the book come out.

7. Do you have a set schedule for writing or do you just go with the flow?

No real set schedule except that I am burning with ideas and write every free minute I get.

8. Which comes first, the story, the characters or the setting?

Usually I think of the idea almost all the way through in my head and then the rest is history.

9. What are the elements of a great erotic romance for you?

I think that erotic stories already have a bad connotation for writers who don’t understand the passion behind them. I think they have to be filled with a high level of fantasy – we all want that. I also think they have to be believable in that you have to talk and walk like a guy and you need to do research if you are going to have a bit of kink – like using delicious apparatuses for BDSM – you have to know what you’re talking about.

10. What are the most challenging and the most rewarding aspects of writing?

Rewarding is seeing the story come to fruition and the most challenging for me personally is that my muse is so creative, I can’t write fast enough. Currently, I have 15 novels, 8 stories and several novella waiting to be edited and that shameless girl just keeps coming up with ideas.

11. Is writing your full-time job? If not, how and when do you find time to write?

As I mentioned – I own two companies so I don’t have the luxury but I can fit it in – nights, weekends, snippets at lunch time and since I am very fast, that helps.

12. If you weren't writing, what would you be doing?

Probably I’d be a veterinarian.

13. Is there a specific bit of advice you would give to an aspiring author who is looking to publish their work? Traditional or Self-Publishing, which would you suggest?

Self publishing is a tough market in a lot of ways still. There are so many wonderful new presses – I would try and go that route for the support system including editors and cover artists.
As far as other advice – consider yourself a writer early and start with the social marketing – facebook, twitter, gathering writing friends for guest blogging, learning about creating press releases and where to go for reviews – YOU are going to have to do a huge majority of the marketing for yourself. And most importantly – WRITE.

14. Can you share a little bit about your current release with us? Where can we find it?

My current release, Shadows of Panic & Wicked Desire is a one of my shorter pieces about a fantasy.

Snake adores his girl, Halle and they are a very kinky couple that will indulge in almost every fantasy they think of. Snake decides to give her the ultimate – three masked men seducing her in the cool waters of a moon-kissed pool in the middle of a very naughty party where the patrons are told to watch…then the little sinful escapade picks up in heat so just imagine.

You can purchase all of my releases at Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble, All Romance E Books, Book Strand and Coffee Time Romance.

15. Do you have other published works? If so please tell us about them!

Currently I have three other releases out: Treats in a Plain Brown Wrapper – about an erotic writer that orders from the internet “tools” of the trade for research and they are always delivered in discrete brown wrapping by her chocolate kissed UPS man – that she has the hots for. One day, she decides to kick up the heat and invites him in to test her toys.

Her Sinful Long Legs – what would you give your man for his birthday IF he has every toy money can buy? How about giving him his ultimate fantasy? A night at a strip club with his three friends where everything goes… Now, I wonder if there’s a kinky twist or two?

Revving Her Wild Engines – what if you met a man on the internet and had a wicked tryst together the heats up the internet lines – and then you decide to meet where he’s going to fulfill your every fantasy including making love on the back of his Harley and a very scintillating threesome? What if you both had a terrible secret that threatened to destroy your new relationship? Could you learn to trust and let go all of your wicked inhibitions?

And coming on April 20th – is the first of my series that crosses two girls – Cassandre Dayne and Dakotah Black using the fictional Flamingo Rustler and it’s man cave, Lucifer’s Lair, as the back drop for very wicked adventures. The first, Wicked Wager Among Friends – Tales From Lucifer’s Lair – what if you had the hots for your best friend but he never gave you the time of day? That’s what happens to Veronica and Travis. Perhaps a little wager of pool and if you win, he’ll be your first to give you sex in the naughtiest most forbidden way but if he wins – you’ll be forced to be his sex slave for two full days. The only glitch? While he tells you he’s bisexual, he’s never been with a woman…and there happens to be a third in the mix.

16. Where can your readers find you?

You can find me in lots of yummy places and I love to hear from my readers!
