Excerpt:
There was
silence. Then the familiar sensation of her stomach being dragged down, right
down to her standard issue black shoes. G force. It was the same every time.
Flicking off
the autopilot and taking control of the 747, Bobbi gripped the throttle in her
right hand, fearlessly pushing it forward. Slow and even. The plane bounced and
shook in the wake turbulence of a passing 767. The muffled sounds of
passengers’ outbursts at the sudden drop mingled with the clatter and clang of
the galley carts that Bobbi damn well hoped were secured as she’d ordered.
They had to
head to higher airspace. Now.
About
the Author:
Kate Deveaux is a contemporary,
erotic romance writer and die-hard romantic. It was after reading Jane Eyre in
high school, that she became hooked on the idea of writing about romance, excitement
and drama. Kate has been penning stories, from the sensual to the sinfully
sexy, ever since.
A former wedding planner, Kate
has always been "in love" with love!
She was inspired to transition from writing racy short stories to full
length manuscripts after meeting other authors in the romance world at industry
workshops, conferences and events. Originally from England, now resides in the
U.S. with her husband. When she’s not writing or reading, Kate can be found on
the tennis court—yes, there’s even "love" in that game too!

Interview
Where are you from? Originally from the UK. Now I live in the U.S.
Tell us your latest news? My latest news…my much
awaited release of Cockpit (it was so super fun to write) and also A Vixen in
Venice this week. J
When and why did you begin writing? I have been
writing as long as I can remember, first letters and short stories in
elementary and then racy hot stories in college when I found my “voice” so to
speak.
When did you first consider yourself a writer? I think it was when I started working on my
first full-length novel.
What inspired you to write your first book? The
short stories just sort of happened, one after another, but the idea for a full-length
book had already been in my mind. It was after my wedding planning career was
ending, when I had a little more free time and I could really launch into
writing that ‘novel.’
Do you have a specific writing style? I like to
think I write with a sensual fluid style. Hard for me to judge that for myself
but I do hear from readers that I’m a vivid and evocative writer.
How did you come up with the title? Oh, I knew it
was THE title for this book the moment I wrote the outline for the book. It
just seemed like the perfect word to sum up an erotic romance set on a 747.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp? Live life to the fullest, take chances and don’t just
live…LOVE.
How much of
the book is realistic? Okay well that’s a great question. The aviation scenes
are pretty realistic; I researched those to make sure they were correct. The
sex scenes, well hey, if you meet Mack then you know they are all realistic J
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life? I think every author cannot help but project a little of
themselves or someone they know or may have met into their books. It’s a
sprinkling of experiences from all over mixed with a very good imagination.
What books have most influenced your life most? From
my formative years, Judy Blume for sure. She was frank in her writing and I
grew up with her tackling some pretty intense topics at the time. ‘Forever’ was
my first real romance I ever read, I loved it then and still do for all it’s
candor and for allowing me as a young woman to see how intimate love could be.
Since then writers from Maeve Binchy to Opal Carew have influenced me.
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor? That’s a tough one. I’ve only met her at conferences, but
I’d have to say Opal Carew as I love her work and love how she handles her career.
What book are you reading now? Oh, summer reading
for me, a couple Elin Hildenbrand, Boy Toy by Lily
Harlem, Played by the Master by Opal Carew, and A Year in Provence by Peter
Mayle, again, (love that book and I hope to visit France next year). Quite the
eclectic mix but that’s me.
Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest? Tracy Garvis Graves caught my attention and I love her books.
What are your current projects? I’m finishing up
Bottoms Up a sexy cocktail themed book and Hot as Hades.
What would you like my readers to know? How much I
appreciate their support and their comments when I am on a blog tour or when
they read my books. The readers make it all worthwhile.
