Welcome all creatures
of the night and thank you for stopping by to feed on today’s victim, I mean
visitor, Dawne Prochilo.
First of all I would just like
to say hi and welcome to The Crypt Dawne and thank you for stopping by today.
Why don’t you introduce yourself to my creatures of the night
and tell us a little about yourself.
I am a
mother of three grown children, an author and writer, a wife and all-around
people person. I have six novels out now, three more scheduled for
release in October and one in November and four more on contract for 2012. When
not buried in promotions, edits or writing, you can find me in the kitchen
cooking and baking- my second love. I also do book reviews for three sites and
adult toy reviews for two online companies. I'm also the Promotions Director
and Review Coordinator for an eBook publisher. I love every aspect of my life.
When did you first begin to write?
Was there a specific moment or did something happen to make you think ‘I could
be a writer’?
I realized when I was a freshman in high school that I
wanted to be an author. The first memory I have of writing was when I was in
grade school. I loved creating stories and weaving tales. And since I've always
been a 'hard-core' reader, writing just seems natural for me.
What are you currently working on?
Would you mind giving the readers a quick synopsis in 100 words or less?
It depends- I have seven WIP's right now- but the one I have
a deadline on is for Ravenous Romance called A Cougar's Revenge. Take two women
discovering their sexuality late in life, mix in a new younger,
hotter-than-hell stud for a boss and you get a little F/F, ménage and
cougar-esque calling out to you. Oh yes, and add in the workplace sexual
relationship and that A Cougar's Revenge- due out in early 2012.
Where do you draw your inspiration
for your stories, characters and settings?
From everyday life. I'll be watching a couple in a store, a
television commercial or even a sporting event game and something in my brain
clicks and the idea is born. My mind works in very mysterious ways- it even
amazes me.
Is there one particular genre you
prefer writing in and is there a genre you would never attempt and if so why?
I started writing sweet contemporary romance in 2009, but
evolved into erotic romance in 2010 when I identified my love for the hotter
side of romance. I always have HEA and all the characters have substance and
the plot is the main structure with the sexual escapades being secondary.
If you weren’t a writer/ couldn’t
write anymore what would you do?
I've never thought about it. I've been an administrative
assistant or office assistant for many years, so I would revert back to that
career- my comfy zone.
If you could become a member of the
opposite sex for 24 hours what would be the first thing you would do?
Often wondered this- I need to discover what an orgasm feels
like. I've had the men in my life try to explain it to me but I want to feel
it...experience it firsthand.
Which fantasy creature/being do you
like the most?
I'm partial to the fairy creature. Very magical and yet,
mysterious. They have a positive undertone to them that I find intriguing since
I am more of a positive person in real life.
If you could be your favourite
fantasy figure what would be the first thing you would do?
I would scour the world making unhappiness an unknown
feeling. Take away the pain people feel from broken hearts, loss of a loved one
and make people believe in mankind again.
What scares you the most?
Losing my family. I can't imagine one day without my
children around. I almost lost my oldest daughter in 2006, due to a head injury
and it put life into perspective for me fast.
Favourite film?
Silly as it sounds- The Breakfast Club- a cult classic that
stands the test over time. My children, now adults, loved it. They could relate
to every character in that library on that Saturday morning.
Worst film you have ever seen?
I can only pick one? I guess I would have to say anything
with Arnold Schwarzenegger in it. I just don't get into that scene- phony and
unrealistic plus some pretty bad acting.
Favourite book?
All time favourite book would have to be Maya Banks'
Colters' Woman. It was the first ménage I ever read and I sat up all night
until I finished it. All time un-erotic favourite book is
When you go shopping what is the one
thing that you always HAVE to buy?
Mountain Dew – I am an addict of that damn soda. *Sigh*
Going back to favourite film write
an erotic scene featuring the main characters in 100 words or less.
I'm not sure that I could such a blurb- after all, they are
only teenagers. Taboo and all- lol
And finally, just for a light
hearted end to the interview.
What words would you want etched on
your tombstone?
For the erotic author and adult toy reviewer in me, just
three little words.

EXCERPT- A Cougar's
Revenge
“Dee,” the
man stood, his hand wavering to halt her progression. She mocked his weak
attempt and motioned his hand away.
“Don't do
this.” His plea ignored as Deanna looked at the cover model equivalent woman in
her presence. Her lush auburn hair flowed over her shoulders, half covering her
pliant bogus breasts. Hefty dollar amount spent there and Deanna distinguished
one was larger than the other. While it wasn't her concerned, the visual of
money tossed away so carelessly fuelled her rage for revenge.
“Dee.” The
man continued pleading for his reputation, keeping his dignity.
Deanna
pursed her lips, thinking how he was so concerned with what could possibly
happen here in front of his peers versus the humiliation he'd inflicted upon
her just months earlier with the display of her affair with...Deanna's eyes
darted back to the auburn haired bimbo.
“Don't even
go there, Dee.” His voice warned.
She smirked
sideways at him, her lip twitching with anticipation of the eruption starting
inside her. “I'll go where I choose to, Phillip.” Her teeth clenched as she
spoke to him, her eyes never wavering from the woman sitting like a skittish
trapped animal. Her significant sized brown eyes appeared larger than normal.
The pure fright on her face, made Deanna feel triumphant before she even said
what she came here to say.
“Dee.”
Phillip gave one final cautionary declaration.
“What?”
Deanna spun her head to glare at her ex-husband. “Afraid I may embarrass you?
Scared your reputation is at stake?”
Phillip
opened his mouth to speak but Deanna uphold her rant.
“I really
don't give a rat's ass, Phillip. I don't care who hears me. I don't care what
these stick up their asses people think about me...or you for that matter.”
“Dee,
stop...”
“Oh, you
stop, Phillip!” Deanna's inside were in turmoil and she needed to complete this
final task in her divorce retaliation so closure could happen. “You ruined my
reputation as well as our twenty year marriage because you couldn't keep you
dick zipped up...” she waved her hand towards the room of diners. “Just like
all the men in here tonight. They are assholes who can't keep their lust and
cocks under control.”
“Dee...”
“Shut the
fuck up, Phillip!” A few gasps erupted
from the female companions in attendance.
Deanna
returned her attention to the bimbo. “I don't know your name, nor do I care.
But let me tell you this...” She stepped closer to the woman, who shifted in
her seat away from Deanna. “If he did this to me, I can guarantee he'll do it
to you also, honey.”
“I don't
think...”
“Ack.”
Deanna mocked her. “Think what you want, but once a cheater, always a cheater.”
“Phillip...”
“Can't keep
his pecker under control, sweetie.” Deanna glanced at Phillip, who stood rigid
and kept glancing over his shoulder to see who he knew could hear the exchange.
His nervousness made her chuckle. “See missy,” she cocked her head in his
direction. “He's probably concerned with what female diners witnessing this
incident may hold it against him once you and he break it off.”
“Phillip
wouldn't ever leave me!” The little vixen had a backbone as she spat the words
at Deanna.
In response,
Deanna threw her head back and laughed heartily. “Think whatever that pea-brain
of a mind allows you too. But think about this...” Deanna tossed her blonde
hair over her shoulder. “I thought he'd never leave me either, but guess what?
He did.”
“Oh, you're
just jealous because you couldn't satisfy him. He needed more.” The bimbo was a
fighter for sure.
“I didn't
give him enough?” Deanna barked with uproarious laughter. “You mean making love
to him five days a week, blowing his cock outside every restaurant we went to
three times a week and letting him tie me up and fulfill his fantasies all the
time wasn't enough?”
Deanna
tilted her head in Phillip's direction. “So, you told her that you were
neglected? You poor thing.”
“Well, let
me tell you sweetie,” she cocked her head back to the bimbo. “He lied. He
always will lie and, most importantly, he will cheat on you with the same lies
and eventually leave you.”
“Oh, you're
just bitter.” The woman fluttered her hand, dismissing Deanna's allegations.
“Well, we'll
see.” Deanna spun on her heels, but before making a dramatic exit, she said
over her shoulder, “when he does all that to you, don't come crying to me.”
