Welcome to Romance Books
4 Us, a place for all romance and all genres. We’re very happy to have you here
with us today. First, tell us a little bit about yourself…
Please tell us a little
about yourself...
My name is Seelie Kay. I have been
writing sizzling short stories about lawyers in love, with a dash of kink,
since February 2017. I come by the stories honestly—I am a former attorney and
my fantasies are drawn from real life experiences. Since last February, I have
published six books, four of them collections of short stories encompassed in
the Kinky Briefs series. In
addition, The Garage Dweller—which
is based on a true story—was released last July and A Touchdown To Remember came out last December. The President’s Wife is set for release
in July and Kinky Briefs, Cinque is
a work in progress.
Do real life events find
their way into your stories?
Lawyers are rather quirky people. In
my more than 20 years in law, I have encountered almost every type of
personality in a wide range of roles—from respected attorneys and U.S. Supreme
Court Justices to ambulance chasers and sleazy criminal defense attorneys. Some
I loved, some I despised, and some I barely noticed. But all of them have been
catalogued in my subconscious and they emerge when I need them!
Do you ever mimic family
members or people you know when you choose characters? My characters are a bit like Tinker Toys. Each is an
amalgamation of multiple parts. So each character has the attributes of many…I
want my lawyers to be interesting and complex.
Do you find yourself
going back to the same inspiration for each story or is it always something
different? I find inspiration in everything, from a conversation with a stranger to
news story or a dream. And when something strikes me, my imagination just takes
off. Thank God for the recorder on my phone. I have a year’s worth of stories
catalogued there.
When do you write?
Early morning? During the day sometime or all day? After the kids
go to bed? I have two lives. In
one, I ghostwrite for professionals, in the other, I write romance. In the
former, I am very disciplined. I write when I receive the assignment. On the
other hand, I write romance when the inspiration strikes me. Sometimes, I write
for eight hours without looking up. Because I am so disciplined with clients, I
have the freedom to run with an idea when inspiration strikes in my author
role.
Is there any other genre
that you would love to try writing? If so, what is it? True crime and/or detective stories. I
love a puzzle—I was once a investigative journalist. Researching, digging
underneath the surface is in my blood. I also want to write a biography, which
I have already researched. I just need to carve out the time.
Do you ever see yourself
as the heroine/hero or find yourself relating to them when you write a story? All of the time. I
can’t deny that my personality and my life experiences emerge from time to time
in my stories.
When you need a break or
some time off from the trials of being a writer, what can you be found doing? Cooking huge meals or
baking a luscious dessert. Turtle brownies are a favorite!
Is there anything about
yourself nobody knows that you would like to share with our readers? I went through seven surgeries in five
years and the repeated anesthesia left me in a fog. I could barely think, much
less write. It was a very frightening time. (I later learned it can take up to
a year for anesthesia to completely clear out of your system after surgery and
the combined effect can be devastating.) But when the fog finally cleared, my
mind took flight and I began writing more creatively than ever before. I feel
like I was given a second chance at life and I don’t intend to waste it!

Kinky Briefs, Quatro by Seelie Kay
Take
another kinky voyage through Lawyerland!
Indulge in
a walk on the wild side with these sizzling short stories about lawyers in
love, with a dash of kink. From painting well-hung nudes at a networking event or
thwarting terrorists intent on harm to finding love despite a chronic illness
or exploring kink on a train, these lawyers pursue love with a vengeance. And
while affairs of the heart may come in all shapes and sizes—a law school ménage
a trois, a middle-aged A.G. and a law firm associate, and a new marriage
suddenly threatened by a spouse long believed dead—these relationships thrive
despite the odds. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and yes, the resultant loin heating
might even make you blush, but in the end, you’ll run out and buy a set of
handcuffs. Because that’s the only way to defuse the sizzle created by these
hot, sexy stories.
Seelie Kay, thanks so much for being with us today and we hope that you come again soon !!!
