All about Bobbie Russell
I still have the very first book I wrote -“ "The Jewel Filled Jar." It was in pencil on 4 pages of lined paper and I designed my own crayon cover. I know it will be worth millions when I die! I've always loved writing but never seriously thought about writing a full length novel until some twenty years ago. Since then, I've been published in full length fiction and short stories, poetry, magazine articles and literary essays. I even wrote and co-produced a documentary on Kansas history that won state and regional awards. My real love continues to be romance and HEA endings. There's no rhyme or reason to the way I write. Sometimes ideas come to me full blown and I can write a novel in 3 months. Other times, I have an idea but struggle with characters and plots gone awry. Besides writing under the name Bobbie Russell for TEB, I write under Barbara Baldwin.
How Bobbie Russell got into Erotic Romance?
It was a hot flash, menopausal moment! I had been writing time travel and historical romance when erotic came into being. I decided to see if I could do a contemporary that was really hot. WOW, did I surprise myself. I loved the freedom of writing just exactly what my characters were doing instead of closing the door on the really good parts!
The Scoop!
I've contracted a novella -“ "Winning Molly" with TEB that will be out in February 2009. It's a really hot "sex with a stranger" book where the hero is a computer wizard (not your usual type hero) who is just as savvy in the bedroom as he is on the computer.
I've also just finished a transformational book based on recent, life-changing experiences, and have plans for a series in a fictitious town called Snow that I keep going back to.
What Bobbie Russell likes to read...
Although I grew up with Perry Mason mysteries and all the Black Stallion books, I now love Amanda Quick, Catherine Coulter and Julie Garwood.
INTERVIEW
The Sensible Questions:
- 1.How have your life experiences affected your writing?
- I'm like Alfred Hitchcock who appeared somewhere in all of his movies. There's always a little of me in all my stories. It may be a scene out of my life, a character who's someone I actually know, a favourite article of clothing.
- 2.Which of your characters is your favourite, and why?
- I loved Linc Parrish in ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT. Not only was he a hot, hot guy, but he was considerate. Not everyone could live with a bunch of old ladies and still remain a gentleman!
- 3.What heat level do you enjoy writing most, and why?
- I love writing love scenes at all heat levels, but I probably prefer sensual -“ full blown scenes with softer language but still very spicy!!
- 4.What authors have influenced you most (not necessarily in the romance genre)?
- I don't know about influencing me, but I fell in love with romance with my first Kathleen Woodiwiss novel, "Ashes in the Wind."
- 5.Which comes to you first when you write, the basic premise of the plot, or the characters?
- I think the basic premise for the plot comes first. However, I have found that once I find my characters, they often take over the plot and go off on tangents. Of course, it is their story, so I guess if they want to linger in the bedroom, who am I to argue?
- 6.What is the biggest lesson that you've learned since you began writing?
- Not every genre is for every reader or author. I can't write werewolf/vampire/horror. I love writing hot romance and HEA but some of my writer friends don't like to read really sexy stuff. That doesn't mean I shouldn't write it.
- 7.Describe your writing space.
- Nothing very glamorous I'm afraid. I just have a regular old desk and laptop. I don't need lots of knick-knack stuff to make me creative, and I don't like clutter, so the smaller the desk, the better to keep me organized. Of course, I have been known to pull off the side of the road and write on any available scrap of paper when a scene or exciting dialogue pops into my head.

The Naughty Questions:
- How many toys do you have in your toy-box? (and we don't mean Barbie dolls!)
- It's like the real thing. If you have the right (size) one, you only need 1.
- What or who does your ideal man look like?
- I'd take Richard Gere or Adrian Paul (Highlander) any day! Age doesn't matter as many, many men age soooo well.
Richard Gere
Adrian Paul
Are any of the sexy scenes in your books based on real life?Of course they are! With variations based on genre. For example, the hot tub is a favourite of mine, but since they didn't exist in historical times, I substitute a lake, waterfall or hot springs.
What kind of clothing do you like to wear in order to feel sexy?Lacy undies and something that zips for easy removal!
What kind of clothing do you think makes men look sexy?I love a dressed up guy! (Put him in a tux or dress slacks and an oxford shirt with the sleeves rolled up a little.) He can have his shirt opened, but keep the pants on -“ I love a mystery!
What is the most outrageously naughty thing you've ever done?Probably making love outside at night where we could have gotten caught at any time!

EXCERPT:
"Please, Garrison, I ache so. Can you not appease me?"
Her whispered plea rang like a pistol shot in Garrison's brain. It seemed he had waited a lifetime for this moment. She clung to his neck as he picked her up, leaving the candy-stripe dress in a puddle on the floor. His eyes locked with hers as he carried her to the bed and gently laid her down.
He stood in awe of the goddess lying there; her chemise rucked up her thighs, exposing incredibly long legs encased in silk stockings, held up with rose embroidered garters. Her hips flared gracefully and tapered in to a tiny waist. As his eyes travelled upward, they took in full, firm breasts, moving in an erratic pattern as her breathing shuttered under his observations.
"You're beautiful." His voice was thick with emotion and though he knew he should go slowly as not to scare her, he couldn't. He stretched out over her, nudging her legs apart with his knee. His cock throbbed harder as he rubbed against her mound. He could feel her heat through the cloth that separated them.
"Do you feel what you do to me-”how you make me throb."
Her eyes flew open and locked with his. He refused to release them as he rocked his hips forward and back. God, he didn't think he could wait to have her. Still holding her wrists above her head, he bent to kiss her.
This time he wasn't tender. Pent up needs forced their way to the surface, and it took an extreme amount of effort for Garrison not to ravish her then and there.

I enjoyed everything about this book, the characters were unique and amusing, the sex was scorching and the plot was interesting. Bobbie Russell wrote the perfect short story!"

EXCERPT:
Linc was stuck on what she had said about a sex attitude. "Getting back to your attitude about sex?"
She sighed, her breasts almost touching his chest. "I like it…a lot."
"So if it's not some dirty old man or cocksure teen, what do you consider the right age?"
She did touch him then, her hand sliding up his thigh to cup him. "How old did you say you were?"
Linc grabbed her against him, his mouth finding hers with the speed of light. She tasted like strawberries, wild and sweet. His hands slid over her ass and gathered up her skirt. He felt the thin strap of a thong. Other than that, her bare ass was warm and silky against his palms. He groaned.
"If this is a test, I'm screwed." He muttered, jerking off her sweater then pulling her skirt down to pool at her feet. Her breasts were just as full and heavy as he had imagined, and with a flick of his wrist, her bra fell to the floor. He buried his face in the twin mounds that jiggled in front of him.
Her hands were on his trousers, and a minute later he was naked. "This is just between you and me. It has nothing to do with your community service, court, or the residents." She pulled away, standing tall and almost naked in front of him and he groaned. His cock jerked and grew as though stretching toward her cunt; smelling, as he could, the sweet scent of arousal. "Is that understood?" She put her thumbs under the edge of her thong but didn't take it off. It was a tease.
He thought to test her. He could tell by her glazed eyes and panting breath that she wanted it bad. He circled his cock and stroked, rubbing his thumb across the head to feel a drop of cum. She licked her lips. "Fucking you won't reduce my community service?"
She shook her head adamantly, her gaze never leaving his cock. Her breath was harsh. Damn, she was hot for him. Still...
"It won't increase it either?"
Her gaze shot up to his, a frown marring her beauty. "I told you this is between you and me; nothing more, nothing less."
"Just sex?"
"Just fucking." The way she said the word turned him on, big time. He released his cock, grabbed his pants and dug a condom out of his wallet.

EXCERPT:
If the villagers were to be believed, her dream lover was a ghost. She still wasn't sure she believed that, but he had given her back her self-esteem, not to mention several great orgasms.
She put her palm against the window right where a glint of moonlight reflected off the pane. She felt at peace as she watched the full moon crest the horizon. She opened the window to allow the night breeze in, letting it caress her bare skin and ruffle her hair as she pulled the hair band out.
"LĂoch. You are beautiful."
She spun at the sound of his voice, a deep Irish brogue that raised goose bumps on her skin. He stood on the other side of her bed, a tall man with golden hair that reached his shoulders. Shoulders that were massive, and bare. Her gaze swept downward. He had the most magnificent hard on, his cock jutting out of a nest of darker blonde hair like a sword.
"I am Keegan McFallon, knight and lord. You are the one come to save me."
"Why me?"
"You haven't run away."
"I have nowhere to go. Besides, who in their right mind would run away after being given multiple orgasms every night?"
"Would you like another?" A sexy grin cut across his features, softening the hard planes of his face.
