Fantasy time: Top of My Fantasy To Do List: I would have to
say Gerard Butler is way at the top of my fantasy list. There is just something
about him that oozes bad boy masculinity and sex appeal. I love the sound of
his rough voice with that cute Scottish accent. His crooked smile and sexy eyes
makes my heart thump abnormally (not to mention making other parts of my body
twitch as well) and I can only imagine what it feels like to have him touch me.
I shiver when I think about it. Did you see his body in 300? Yum….my! And he
was hilarious in The Ugly Truth.
If money were no object, the most luxurious, craziest
out-of-this-world thing I would buy would be a private island for a home base
and a luxurious yacht that I could drive around the world. I’ve always thought
it would be fun to live on a house boat and if I had lots of money, I could
really do it up in style. I’d love to visit some of the Greek Islands and just
have the freedom to travel wherever I wanted to go. I’d go everywhere. That
would be really awesome.
Top three guilty pleasures are:
Going on chocolate binges. Sometimes I can sit down and eat
a whole bunch of those mini-candy bars and not feel one bit guilty. Of course
my tummy let’s me know later that it probably wasn’t a good idea, but I’d do it
again, and I do eventually.
Spending time just browsing the web. I don’t allow myself much
time to simply surf from site to site anymore but I really enjoy following
links to see where they lead. When I’m researching new information in the erotic
realm for my stories or just for fun, I can absolutely drift off on surfing
tangents because I find that world so taboo and fascinating and fun.
Just sitting and zoning out on television. I don’t get to
follow a lot of shows because of my time spent writing so I do use my DVR to
catch my favorites, like NCIS, White Collar, Fringe, The Mentalist, for
example. Then when I’m able to take a long writing break, I can get caught up
on several episodes at once…and with no commercials. I love that part the best.
Although right now I have so many shows waiting to be watched that our DVR is
so full my husband is fussing at me because there’s no room for his shows! Now
that I have Aphrodite done, I can take a short break and I’m looking forward to
giving my brain a rest for a few days.
Most Awesome and scary thing I’ve done – Thinking back, the
most awesome and scary thing I’ve done would have to be the horseback ride I
took in the Colorado mountains when we went camping one year in Crete Colorado,
an old silver mining town. My fear of heights has increased over the last few
years and if I’d been as bad as I am now back then, I would have turned around,
but at the time I remember riding horses up this steep mountainside and looking
down the side of this sheer cliff and thinking that all my horse would have to
do was stumble on a rock and down we’d go. I had to be brave because I didn’t
want the other ladies that went to know what a chicken I was. It was
exhilarating and frightening at the same time. The scenery was breathtakingly
beautiful, but I wouldn’t be able to take that trip today, it would give me a
heart attack.
We also rented a car and drove up the road to Hana in Maui.
I nearly squeezed my husband’s knee off I was gripping his leg so tight. Oh my God,
it was scary. That was the steepest cliff side road I’ve ever been on, ever
worse than the horse ride and I didn’t tolerate that one well. I know I drove
my husband crazy with my phobias, but we had a great time while we were there
anyway.
And one more scary thing I’ve done was putting my story out
there today! I think everyone can probably relate to that, but I’m excited too.

Aphrodite’s fun and erotic premise came to me during a
discussion at work one day. We have a diverse group where religion is concerned
and we were all talking about our different customs and what we believe, and a
co-worker from India was explaining that they have a money god, and other
various gods that they pray to, and one other co-worker said, “With my luck I’d
think I was praying to the money god but I’d get the sex god, instead.”
I screamed when I heard her say this, and I startled
everyone. Right then I knew this was the germ that got the story growing. I
immediately wrote the phrase down and then it gelled in my head until I could hurry
up and get the story written. I had such a blast researching the various gods
and goddesses and found the subject of mythology fascinating. Although I barely
remember touching on the subject in school, I know now I’ll be spending more
time delving into this area because I enjoyed it so. And the way the mythology
idea worked so nicely with the erotic romance genre made it even more fun to
write. I had a good time with creating this story.
It sounds wonderful, Wendy! Thanks for taking the time to be with us today. Happy sales! You can connect with Wendy on Twitter (@wendymoon1) or visit her website at www.wendymoon.com.
