An Interview With The AMAZING Desiree Holt

Desiree Holt is a whirl wind.  She's a freak of nature.  She's prolific.  She's also The World's Oldest Author of Erotic Romance.  With well over 100 books to her name and hundreds of thousands of adoring fans, it is no stretch to also call her an author who has made it to the big dance.  Despite her growing popularity and fame, she remains the sweet, intense, and business minded woman she's ever been.

If you follow her on Facebook or read any of her blogs, you can get a sense of what this amazing author is truly like.  Her personality shines through in everything she says or does. Yet, if you're anything like me, you still want more.  You want to know more about what makes Desiree tick.  What is she REALLY like?

Today you'll learn some of the intimate secrets of our dear Ms. Holt as she's agreed to answer not only 5 questions, but every question I asked her.  What a sport!

Before we get to her interview, you MUST check out her latest release, Blind Ecstasy, from Secret Cravings  Publishing.

When Johanna Devlin fell in love with Sean Devlin she thought she had it all—a man who loved her as much as she loved him and the perfect Dom for her submissive nature. On her birthday when he asked her to marry him, to wear his collar, she was sure she had it all. But the next day he disappeared and four years later he’s still missing from her life. Except for rare visits to Club Fantasy she’s retreated from the D/s lifestyle. Then her sister insists she accept the gift of a night at Club Fantasy with a Dom who knows just how to satisfy all her sexual needs. She accepts with some reservation, especially when the dungeon master blindfolds her before taking her to the private room. Before the night is over she finds a lot more than hours of intense sexual delights. 

So Desiree, which of your books is your personal favorite and why?

Wow, there are so many that I like, but I'd have to say it's a tie between three of them:JOY RIDE, because it's such an intense love story and it took my back to my rock and roll days; RODEO HEAT, because it was a true journey of a woman's sexual awakening and because it shows you don't have to be so young to live your fantasies, and OUT OF CONTROL, because it was five years in the making and it was a gritty departure for me.

Best piece of advice you’ve ever been given.

Write, write, write and never ever give up.

The worst piece of advice you’ve ever been given.

Never write in first person.

Sometimes a story just demands it. I wrote DOWNSTROKE in first and third person because that's how I heard it in my head.

What’s your birth sign and does it accurately reflect your personality?

Cancer, and yes, I'd say it does. Here's the definition:

Such people are easily hurt by the slights of others. These are very complex people, sometimes appearing extremely strong and at other times to be as vulnerable as a child. These people are remarkably good at accumulating things; indeed, they can be unwilling to throw anything out, even relationships that have passed their use-by date. They are generally over-anxious in financial matters, and make great efforts to gather in money; as a rule, they have unusual ups and downs in their early life and so they are compelled to work to keep ahead, but once they get on their feet they keep there. If channeled in the right direction, their enormous sensitivity can become a great source of strength. Once they overcome their touchiness and master their turbulent emotions, their intellect and imagination enable them to become a success in almost anything they undertake.
The main problem for them is to remember not to let the powerful, turbulent emotions of the moment crowd out their normally rational judgment. Their intuitions are reliable and should be trusted. 

They are generally gifted with strong imaginations, and it is very easy for them to become excellent artists, writers, composers, or musicians. At heart they are romantic and of a very loving and affectionate disposition. 

Long explanation but it really defines who I am

Describe your perfect day.

Wow! Okay, up with the cats and feed them and the deer. Morning spent answering emails, doing promo and writing. Lunch with one of the Sassy Seven. More writing in the afternoon. Dinner while I watch Jeopardy and then reading on my brand new back porch room. Except of course in the winter!

What was your most embarrassing moment?

Oh, well, thank heavens it was a long time ago. In high school I made a skirt in Home Ec (Yes, we had to take it then) and wore it to a basketball game with the current man of my dreams.
