AUTHOR INTERVIEW WITH LAURA STAMPS


Niina : Welcome to For The Love of Reading, Ms. Stamps , I’m glad you could make it!

Laura Stamps : Thanks, foxy!! I’m thrilled to be here.

Niina : Let’s get started! Can you tell my readers here 4 fun unknown facts about you so we can break the ice?

Laura : For a kinky exhibitionist chick, who has spilled ALL on her blog for years, that’s a toughie!  Let’s see.  Hmmm…  Here are some things my fans might not know and some things your readers might not know:

1.)    My fav fragrance to wear these days is “Vanilla Lace” from Victoria’s Secret.
2.)    I really do live with my two husbands, Ken and Wes.  It’s one of the perks of being Pagan.  ~lusty wink~
3.)    I wear boots 365 days a year.  Leather and heels are ME.  Flats are soooo NOT.
4.)    I cut the bottom off all my shirts to show some skin 365 days a year.  I do!
5.)    I model in my trashy panties for all the covers of my “Memoir Series” books.
6.)    I really do have sex 2-3 times every day (well, I do have 2 husbands…).
7.)    I’m also known online as the “SexWitch.”
8.)    I take all the sex scenes in my novels for a test drive first to make sure they’re realistic, safe, and feel good.  Safe sex is important to me.  Some readers use erotica novels as sex manuals, so I take that information very seriously.
9.)    I’m 55, a runner (12-15 miles/week), organic vegan, don’t drink or smoke.  Because of that, I feel, talk, act, dress, move, and boink like I’m 18.  Weeeeeee!
10.) I’m Wiccan, Seelie Fey, and a Fey sorceress.

Niina : W-O-W two husbands! You lucky girl! Tell us little about your pagan erotic paranormal series? How did you pick up the genre?

Laura : I write 3 Pagan fiction series: The Witchery Series ( paranormal romance ), The Rune Witch Series ( paranormal erotica ), The Manigault Vampires ( paranormal erotica ).  I also write one erotic nonfiction series about my real life ( The Memoir Series ).  My Pagan fiction series are unlike others in that they contain real spells, chants, and rituals.  I wanted to show readers what our Pagan lives are really like since there has been so much untrue propaganda floating around about us the last 2000+ years.  I also wanted to show readers how freakin HOT our Pagan men are!  ~swoon~

As for writing paranormal…the paranormal is “normal” for me.  That’s because I’m only half human.  I’m Seelie Fey, and fly into the Fey Realm every night.  Shifters, vamps, demons, Fey, dragons, ghouls, weres, and all otherworldly beings are normal for me.  I have met all of them.  And slept with a few.  Hey, I’m Fey.  You would expect no less of a Fey, orgy-loving chick, right?  ~lusty wink~  So writing about the paranormal is simply “real life” for me.

Niina : How do you write, chapter here and there or follow from beginning to an end?

Laura : For over a decade I was a successful literary poet, and poets tend to write first drafts by hand.  I continued that practice when I began writing fiction.  So all the first drafts of my novels are written by hand in one spiral notebook after another until I’m finished.  I can usually write a novel in 5 weeks and a novella in 4 weeks.  I have published 55 books with various publishers over the last 25 years, and I am a meticulous editor.  I type each handwritten chapter on computer.  Then it goes through 15-20 edits before it’s in final draft.  Sex scenes go through 25 edits or more.  Writing the first draft goes quickly in a white hot flash.  The editing process goes very slowly and can take 5-8 months.  Several universities collect my papers, and they love the handwritten notebooks.

Niina : Which character in your books became your favorite?

Laura : My fav hero is Donnie from “What Witches Want.”  I fell soooo in love with that gorgeous man!  He is my dream man.  Troy is also near and dear to me.  I went through serious withdrawal when I finished his book in October ( A Vampire’s Desire ).  That’s because he’s a clone of my sexy hubby, Ken.  My fav heroine is Sara, the wild exhibitionist Fey chick.  She’s a clone of me.  Hey, you would expect me to like myself best, right?  No lack of self-esteem for this novelist chick.  Lmao!!

Niina : I you could only read 5 erotic romance novels for the rest of your life what would they be, and why?

Laura : I would call all of these brilliant classics and read them every year at least once.  They just get better and better with every read.

1.) Colters’ Woman ( the first printing ) by Maya Banks
2.) Demon’s Fire by Emma Holly
3.) Wicked Pleasure by Lora Leigh
4.) Only Pleasure by Lora Leigh
5.) Satisfaction Guaranteed by Charlene Teglia
