Featured Interview With Kate Britton
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Kate Britton was born in England but grew up all over the world, thanks to a father with a severe case of wanderlust. She comes by her love of travel and cruising honestly then.
I now live on the West Coast of Canada, just south of Vancouver. I’ve been writing spicy and erotic romance for over three years now, and have books available at Amazon.com in the Kindle Store and soon in paperback.
Beside writing and traveling, I’m the handmaiden to a six year old ball of fluff called Maggie Mae who demands three walks a day and turns up her nose at dog food. I reads voraciously, often till the early hours of the morning when I should be sleeping!
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I wrote my first book at eleven. It was what we now call fan fiction. I loved Perry Mason. In all my books he married Della Street. I guess I wrote those mysteries for about three years. I wrote my first romance at about seventeen, I think, but I didn’t publish anything until three years ago which is decades later!
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I read everything! Travel, mysteries, biographies, but no horror! My imagination is too vivid and those books give me nightmares….But most of all I read romance, and the steamy variety is my favourite. I look at writers like Bella Andre, Melissa Foster and E.L. James with awe.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I’ve got a couple of ‘latest books’. One is a novella, LETTING GO which is available free on my website, www.katebrittonbooks.com. I wrote a short story three years ago that was included in a British anthology, SMUT BY THE SEA and LETTING GO grew out of that scribbling. It’s the story of a very capable, successful woman who escapes her hectic life by staying at a sea side cottage in Oregon as often as she can. One of the main attractions of the place is a man called Richard…and LETTING GO is the story of their beginning. I’ll be writing LETTING BE next, which will be the continuation of their relationship.
But right now, I’ve got two projects hopping — first, I’m taking the five parts of GRAEME UNCAGED and compiling them into GRAEME UNCAGED, THE COMPLETE VOLUME. It took me a long time to write GRAEME UNCAGED and I’ve been criticized by the fans of TAMING GRAEME who wanted more of the same. There’s still hot sex, but not as much bdsm, and the story is really about the conflict between Graeme and the rogue traders from Belfast who are determined that he fund their retirement plans in a lavish manner. They failed to steal his art collection in the first book, but they try again, with better results in the second. Olivia is still a significant part of the second book, but the focus is not on the relationship between Graeme and his wife, but on the events that unfold as Gavin and his crew claw at Graeme’s wealth…it’s different, but still a very good read, I think.
And I’ve written about ten thousand words of another book about Graeme Browning, the prequel, to be called INITIATING GRAEME, which will show him as a young man, making the lifestyle choices that will later dictate his life and love.
