Laurie Sorensen joins us today to share a little about herself, as well as introduce us to her new release, The Pirate Princess. I personally love the premise and am looking forward to reading it.
Do you prefer your heroes/heroines to be perfect or flawed?
I actually prefer my heroes/heroines to be flawed, no one is perfect and
even if romance books are fictional, they shouldn't be made to appear
that way. People like to think that they could be friends with the
characters in the books they read, for me it would be difficult to be
friends with a perfectly unflawed person, so yes, they have flaws.
Would you date your hero if he was a real person? Why or why
not?
I wouldn't be allowed to date my hero...LOL, he's a Prince, and of
course there is some etiquette about a prince dating a non-royal person.
But, that aside, yes I would date him...I mean who wouldn't want to
date him, he's blonde, he's built and his eyes are to die for. On top of
that, his good looks aren't the whole package, he has a tender heart.
What sort of environment do you write in? Totally silent? TV
in background? Playlist?
The environment I work in is best described as chaotic. I write whenever
I sit down to use my computer. I have my email on one screen, Facebook
on another screen, and my word document up at all times. I check
messages, then I go back to writing. Sometimes the TV is on, but that's
mainly just for some background noise. If I am home alone, I have music
on it, streaming through my Dish Network Sirius channels. I have tried
to write in the quiet, and it really is impossible for me to do
that...so noise in the background helps me think better.
How do you feel when people you know/meet find out you write
erotica?
The Pirate Princess is my first erotic/erotica type story, and my family
and friends know about it. I'm not sure what my feelings are about it
yet. They haven't read anything beyond the excerpt as yet, once they
have read it, I'll know more about how I feel about it.
In three words, describe your favorite scene in this book.
Three words about my favorite scene, Well let's see - Tantalizing, Exciting, Thrilling
Blurb:
What does a princess do when she doesn’t want a prince? She escapes the
prince's grasp, mere hours before he is to win her hand and she becomes a
pirate. Travel the open seas with Princess Alvilda as she captains the
Cryatus in the 14th century. She and her band of female pirates
terrorize the Danish people while keeping just out of reach of the one
person she wished to escape, Prince Alf. When he captures her ship and
discovers her true identity, will he also capture her icy heart?
Excerpt:
The
princess glanced over her shoulder again and imagined her mother still watching
from her window. Once more she touched
her heart, grasped it and threw it in the direction of the castle. She’d made good her escape. She would be her own woman. She would answer
to no one, but she would certainly miss her mother.
Will Alf be angry when he finds me gone? No matter, I’m sure he will quickly get over
the loss of me.
“We are
well on our way, so keep watch and wake me only if there is no other
choice.” Alvilda slipped below decks and
found her father’s cabin. Shutting the door, she collapsed on the berth. Before long the heat of the enclosed space
had her taking everything she wore off.
Confident they would not be followed for some time, Alvilda smiled as
she lay on the bed and stretched her naked body over the roughhewn wool cover
upon the bed. He certainly was a handsome man, far more handsome than I remember. “Just
stop it, he isn’t meant for you, no one is,” she said as she turned over onto
her stomach and fell asleep.
His
hands caressed her skin, lightly skimming over her back and across her buttocks
then down the backs of her legs. Alvilda
arched her back; when she did her legs slightly spread open, giving him easier
access to the treasure covered in golden curls. One hand slid between her legs
and delved into the curls finding her most private parts, the hard little nub
hidden from the world. Stroking that tiny button elicited a small moan in the
back of her throat. Encouraged, he
rubbed harder and Alvilda drew her legs up, bringing herself onto her knees.
