I actually got He's On Top, and am thoroughly enjoying it.

I haven't topped per se, but I definitely have a knack for it. I know because I constantly catch myself in those moments, with exactly the same impulses and setbacks.
So would you consider yourself a switch? (And why hasn't anyone done a switch anthology?)

My story kind of goes the opposite direction-- a professional dominatrix finds herself becoming ... more
I am vastly entertained by this one ... having also witnessed in real life, when a nearly always, super-dominant woman comes across someone who brings her to her knees.

I'd have to agree with that being a damn good excuse.

Yeah, you pretty much get a pass on EVERYTHING at the moment.

I do notice more and more places I go have special parking spots just for you! Ok you and all the other pregnant women and new mothers, but you're the only one I know right now.

My dentist has five spots for expectant mothers! They deserve it, totally, but I'd like a spot for the "That person who is perpetually almost late, and would rather not jog across the parking lot to get to her appointment on time."

(don't mind me, i've been at the dentist a lot recently) You are feeling good (for 23 weeks), I hope?

Excellent idea! I'm a total switch. I think that would be a great book!

What's interesting is that I wrote a story for She's On Top but not He's On Top, even though I lean more that way. Which goes to prove that my work is, indeed, FICTION!

I feel Kristina putting together an anthology pitch in her head right now...

I wish they would have had those spots for when I was pregnant!

Ohhh, the best thing I ever got when I was pregnant was a gift certificate for 6 pregnancy massages.

Tell us a bit about your writing process. How often do you write? (And congratulations on your pregnancy, and the nice parking it garners you!)

Wow, that's impressive. I haven't seen any parking space in VA for pregnant or new mothers. There was a grocery store in Charleston, SC that had "Stork Parking." (I think it was Piggly Wiggly.) And when I was in Chicago the baby/children's store Land of Nod had parking spaces for pregnant/new moms, but that's the only time I've seen it!

I'm feeling GREAT considering I'm pregnant, have a 17 month old and I turned 44 on Saturday! (Plus a book that just came out that I'm promoting, a book due June 1 and one due September 1, except I'll probably be home with a newborn that week, so I need to get it in early...)

Um... yeah... I feel great, but I ramble...

So how many of us prefer women to be on top?

I do, but then again, I prefer women to be the bottoms, as well.

It's less exhausting to write about being on top than it is to actually do it.

LOL... I wish I had good parking.

My writing process... I have a babysitter for my 17 month old on M, T and Th from 10-4, so I write/edit as much as I can during that time frame, minus drive time to and from Starbucks-- it works out to about 15 hours a weeka. Prenatal appointments are also eating up some of that time right now! 15 hours is nowhere near enough time to do everything I do, so I also work after the baby goes to bed (either at home, which can run me as late as midnight or 1 AM or at Starbucks, which closes at 9) and sometimes on Saturdays if I'm on a deadline. Sunday is family day, so I don't work unless it's crucial. Basically, I cobble together whatever hours I can to write and edit and still spend as much time as I can with my toddler. I'm hoping to get back to this schedule when the new baby is a couple of months old and I've recovered.

The woman I went to had a special table designed to be comfortable for a very pregnant woman. You lie on your side, rather than on back or belly and there was a focus on the parts of the body stressed most by pregnancy (feet, lower back, etc.).

I've had a gift certificate for a massage since Christmas!! I found out I was pregnant December 30 and they won't touch you in the first trimester and this second trimester has just been crazy busy. I really, really need one, though!

Welcome, Sacchi!

In erotica, I like to read just about everything, especially things I haven't been able to check out in real life yet.

In real life, I'm warming up to being more dominant, but it's a slow process. I seem to be a pretty hard-wired "pleaser."

That does sound just lovely. My cousin just (sort of) announced that she was pregnant, I'll have to look into whether or not I can get her a massage like that.

I can't think of a good title for a switch anthology. Goes Both Ways sounds bisexual. Hmm...

I can definitely see that becoming a crowded schedule!

Do you have a story to share about what inspired you in "The Mistress Meets Her Match"?

I like women on top. If that woman is me anyway. I love, love, loved the stories in this book. It's so hard to find a good collection of female dominant erotica that isn't wrought with crass language.
