               Author Adele Dubois

 Today's marvelous guest is Romance author Adele Dubois, whose many hot books published by Ellora's Cave have won awards and fans from around the world!

Welcome, Adele! Congratulations on your success as an author. How many books do you have in print or e-pub now? Do you have a favorite?

 My titles include ebooks REV ME UP, DESERT WILD, DESERT FEVER, INTIMATE ART, and DREAM TRAVELER. My trade paperback DESERT NECTAR is the compilation of DESERT WILD and DESERT FEVER and won a SuperStar Award from my publisher. DESERT FEVER is an EPIC Award Finalist. Every time I write a new book I say it’s my favorite.

Sounds exciting!  Do you have another project in the works?

Yes. A few, in fact. My upcoming release with Ellora’s Cave is my first fantasy story, set in our contemporary world. The book features a celestial hero and the mortal woman whose love changes his destiny. I’m really excited about this story and hope readers love it as much as I do.

What does your writing schedule look like? What's your best time of day to write? Are you a morning writer or a night owl?

Morning is when I’m most productive--the earlier, the better. I typically write all morning and then break for a late lunch. I create blog posts and promote in the evening.

 Where do you do your best work?

I write in my home office where it’s private and quiet and the space is exclusively mine.

Do you have any writing rituals that you follow?

No rituals except that I eat a simple breakfast before I start working. After that I like to delve into my story without distractions. I don’t play music while I write. Total quiet works best for me.

What advice do you have for aspiring writers?

Don’t wait to start your book until you think you have more time. Wake up early or stay up late at night if you have to, but begin your project. It takes an average of ten years to hone your craft and find a publisher. If you have a book inside you, start now.

Today, writers need not only write great books, but be great promoters of their books, too. What kinds of things do you do?

My blog at www.adeledubois.com/blog is quite popular and we have a lot of fun there. It’s interactive, not just promotional. Stop by and say hello.

Did you bring a blurb or excerpt?

Here are highlights of my contemporary erotic romance REV ME UP.

Summary: REV ME UP by Adele Dubois

Lisa has always been a Good Girl. When she flashes her breasts at the hunk riding by on his Harley, her wild impulse seems like harmless fun. How could she know he’d hit the curb and land at her feet? To make amends with the cop from Santa Fe, Lisa agrees to have a cocktail with him. When she slides on the bike and wraps her arms around Antonio’s buff body, they take off on the ultimate ride.

Antonio’s in town for his brother’s graduation before heading to FBI training. Lisa’s there to break up with her cheating midshipman boyfriend. Revenge sex with a hot cop may be the perfect way to unleash her inner Bad Girl. But can she keep her feelings casual?

With sexy Antonio by her side and the lust blazing between them, this Bad Girl may have a chance to have it all. As long as an ex-boyfriend out for revenge doesn’t destroy her new happiness.

Excerpt: REV ME UP by Adele Dubois

The first thing Antonio Alvarez noticed about the woman on the sidewalk was her waist length, light brown hair. He revved his Harley and watched her stroll along the curb line of this high-end tourist avenue with her head high and tanned arms swinging. Her hair swayed along her back, swishing between her shoulder blades, the tips caressing her bare waist above the rolled-down shorts curving over her hips. The white stretch of fabric that barely covered her round, slightly protruding butt clung to the split in her cheeks like the skin on a ripe peach. Below, the hem flashed orbs of alabaster skin like tiny quarter moons. A thong framed her tight, exquisite ass. Long, taut, tanned legs and small feet in high espadrilles moved in time to the sway of her hair. She must have heard his motorcycle behind her then, because she looked over her left shoulder and slowed her stride to check him out.

When she turned her face, their eyes met and Antonio’s adrenaline surged as if she had kissed him. His heart raced and he revved the engine of his bike again. The noise made her laugh, a clear, pleasant sound that reverberated through the air, linking them. He breathed in her laugh, trying to capture the peal inside his chest to cheer him the rest of the day.

Antonio smiled.

The woman smiled back, flashing white, perfect teeth. The symmetry of her sculpted features and open, friendly expression drew him closer. Passersby strolled in the opposite direction eating ice cream, walking their dogs or pointing out quaint shops to visit. Antonio barely noticed them. The woman in the woven espadrilles, tight white shorts and gauzy red cotton tank top stood out in the crowd like a holograph against a flat surface. Suddenly, the reason for his visit to Annapolis vanished. Antonio needed to meet this woman and see her again.

And again.

Looking at her jolted his dulled senses and numbed heart to life after a long drought. He hadn’t so much as glanced at another woman since Estela’s death. It had been eighteen months since the woman he loved was killed in the line of duty and he had never been unfaithful to her memory.

Until now.

The woman on the sidewalk revived him like a swim upward from the cold depths of the sea.

His friends would say it was about time.
