Today we have the pleasure of interviewing the new erotic author, C.I. Macias. She has a debut book, Silk.
Tell
us a little bit about yourself-
My name is Claudia and I was born and raised in California. I am
the youngest of 3. I live in Elk Grove, California with my dotting husband and
children. My family means the world to me. On my free times, I enjoy hanging
out with my family and friends.
I do have a job and write when I get home and on the weekends. I
try not to
neglect my family too much. They have been very patient and supportive of me.
neglect my family too much. They have been very patient and supportive of me.
How
did you decided to enter the world of writing?
My sister! She nudged me to enter an anthology contest, so I
did. The genre was regarding
“bondage”. So I thought, great! I get to
write about sex and use my imagination.
What
does your family think of your writing?
I have asked them about that before and they said that it is
“catchy writing”. I also asked if they felt weird that I am writing this type
of genre and they say “why would it be weird?”
It brought tears to my eyes to feel such a huge support system in my
family.
Where do you get your ideas?
Where do you get your ideas?
Oh dear! My imagination is a wonderful portal of naughtiness.
Can you tell us a little about your book?
Silk is about two best friends Sammie and
Jade. Sammie falls into the pleasures of erotic bondage and falls hard for
Aiden. Aiden’s brother Jackson introduces Jade to harsher sexual pleasures of
bondage, leaving her yearning for more. Jackson entangles them all in deception
and trickery.
What is your writing process?
Honestly, I don’t really have one. I don’t
brain cluster or anything. Basically I get an idea and when I start typing, it
all just flows out. I can see the scene in my head and I try to capture them in
the moment and then hope that I transfer it on paper. It is intense. I get in a
zone.
What
was the hardest part for you when working on your book?
The
hardest part was trying to keep it a secret from my husband. I didn’t know how
he would react with me writing an erotic book.
Then I was so excited in writing it and seeing it unfold to a published
book, that I ruined my own surprise. I blurted it out when he walked in the door
from work. He said “Awesome. My wife is secretly a dirty bird. Nice”. Yup! Not
a secret anymore.
What
influenced or inspired you to write?
My
husband and my sister inspired me to write. My husband for years told me that I
should write a book, but I never really thought much about it. He used to read
my short story’s that I had to write in school and loved them. My sister topped
it off. She inspired me with her own work and I gave it a go. Now I love
writing. I am hooked.
Was
there a scene that you didn’t add or you removed in your finished work?
There
is a scene in where Sammie goes to deliver documents at some house and ends up
being Aiden’s home. Sammie thought that Aiden’s and her sexual encounter at the
Bar & Grill was left there. To her surprise, after entering the home, she
follows the voice coming from the study asking her to enter. To her surprise it
is Aiden.
I had
deleted a huge monologue between them two. I thought that perhaps it would be
hotter if they cut the chit chat and went straight to getting to know each
other better.
Do
you have a favorite character (from you're book)? Why?
I love all my characters. They are all so naughty in their own
way.
Do you
already know what to write next? Can you tell us?
Yes, it
is called Jade. After her encounter with Jackson, a spark was left in Jade and
her curiosity is taking the best of her. She yearns for more sexual pleasures
in bondage and she goes out and searches for it. She briefly touches on her
Dominatrix side, but realizes that she would rather be a submissive and receive
the pleasures.
Then the next book after that is called Bonded.
I am also writing Stranger, a suspense thriller. I am really
excited on how that one is unfolding.

Do
you have any last words?
I want to thank you for having me here. I am happy to share a
little bit of myself with the readers and my new friends J Life is
too short to worry about what people will think of you. Write what you want and
what makes you feel happy. Be bold, honest, and own it. Your imagination has no
boundaries.
Hey, the link on Carrie Ann's main blog site is wrong. I found this by Googling your name.
