ONE MORE DAY!

Well It’s one more day until the launch of charmed! And I am so excited. I’ve done some lurking this morning and ran across my interview in the Hussie Book Slam Newsletter it is too cute:

KOKO BROWN is a new author with EC,debuting with her first book, CHARMED. I love the premise of her first EC Book! Below is the blurb Koko sent me:

CHARMED

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, right?
Unfortunately, this isn’t the case for recently married Chloe Walker, who believes she’s left behind the biggest mistake she’s ever made in her life in Sin City – her new husband Tristan, who although a walking Adonis is nuttier than her grandma Violet’s fruitcake because he thinks he’s a flesh and blood vampire!

However, after returning home, Chloe discovers that Tristan might not have been the loony toon she first assumed him to be. But while she must come to terms with the strange new changes in her life, she must also fend off a husband, who despite her weight insecurities is hell bent on winning her back and turning her into a full fledged vampire.

So who is Koko Brown?

Ever since the age of nine, KoKo Brown has had a love for the written word. So much so, that she decided to publish her own newspaper. Turning a tidy profit from the very first issue, the publication was unfortunately put out of business by KoKo’s grade school principal, who didn’t appreciate outside competition.

Undaunted, KoKo has never strayed too far from her “passion”, whether it was writing for her college’s literary magazine, bringing some “liveliness” to her local newspaper’s obituary page, writing web page content to attract visitors to Florida’s beautiful Space Coast or even trying her hand at erotic fiction.

A quissential romance junkie, Koko became hooked on erotica during the summer of 2006. One day while daydreaming, she came up with the plot for her first erotic tale Charmed, which will be released on September 21, 2007.

After fleshing out a completed manuscript in only two weeks, she decided to test the waters, by sending it to one of her favorite erotic publishers Ellora’s Cave, the largest publisher of erotic literature in the world. A couple of months later, she received the call from Carole Genz her soon to be editor at Ellora’s Cave, who offered her a publishing contract.

Currently, Ms. Brown is working on several other erotic stories, including a sequel to Charmed. When not writing, this Florida native likes spending time with family and friends, riding her Yamaha 650 Classic, surfing the internet, or traveling to exotic locales.

I caught up with this talented new author and like the good Hussy I am convinced her to answer some questions.

Sally: First off, is the rope too tight? Koko? (she shakes her head). Okay then, I’m going to remove the gag. Just answer my questions and I’ll untie you and you’ll be free to go. (Koko nods her head and agrees.) When did you start writing?

KoKo: I started writing at the age of nine, when I began my own newspaper, but I was put out of business by my grade school principal because it competed with the school newspaper.

Sally: That is so funny, although I’m sure as a child it was pretty upsetting. But glad to see you continued forward with your writing career. Who would you say influenced you the most?

Koko: My main writing influences are Toni Morrison and Johanna Lindsey.

Sally: What do you enjoy the most about writing?

Koko: They are great escapes for me. They allow me to go places and see things I normally would not do in my regular life.

Sally: What is KoKo’s naughty secret?

Koko: My naughty secret is that I like to read the personal ads on Craig’s List.

Sally: Now that’s not naughty. Surely you have something more juicy for our readers. Hmm… Koko? Why are you pursing your lips together? Now, you’re shaking your head. I see, going back to read the first line in your blurb… Very well, what is in store for your readers?

Koko: (After breathing a sigh of relief. she agreed to continue in our interview) I am currently writing a sequel to Charmed. The story will focus on Yasmine Patel and her former slave Leopold, whom she was given to at the end of Charmed as part of her punishment for her crimes.

Untying Koko, thank you for joining us today and agreeing (clearing throat) to let me interview you. Please visit Koko on her website and find CHARMED on the EC website.

And remember where there’s a hussy, there’s always a way. (eg)
