Not all Geeks are Men!

Admit it, Hussies. When you think geek you think of a man. Well in Taige Crenshaw's latest book, Golden Seduction the geek is the heroine.

It's true, Laila Brooks is a geek at heart. She is comfortable with her computer and books. Adventure to her is finding a new computer code that no one else has. An unexpected gift of a captivating deck of tarot cards draws her into an adventure to save a man and his people, while finding herself and coming out of her shell. Adventure has never been so sizzling and tempting.

Aleneic knows that his time is limited and he has to complete his quest or be sent back into a lonely existence. The fates have put him in the path of a woman who makes him do the one thing he is afraid to do—hope things will be different.

***************************

I love a book about a desperate situation with that ticking clock. It just makes things heat up and whew, this one just might blow the computer and then what will our geek heroine do? I think she'll find plenty to do with a delicious hero - Aleneic. I mean the name alone should make her screen freeze and melt her components!

And what about the talented woman who wrote this sizzler? Here's what her bio says:

Taige Crenshaw has been enthralled with the written word from time she picked up her first book. It wasn’t long before she started to make up her own tales of romance.

Her novels are set in today between people who know what they want and how to get it. As well as in the future of vast universes between beautiful, strange and unique beings with lots of spice and sensuality added to her work.

Always hard at work creating new and exciting places Taige can be found curled up with a hot novel with exciting characters when she is not creating her own. Join her in the fun, frolic, interesting people and far reaches of the world in her novels.

Being the hussy that I am, I wanted to know more about our featured author, so I did one of the things a hussy is best at (eg) I asked questions.

Sally: What/who inspired you to write?

Taige: I’m actually a little shy {with a smile} but no one seems to believe me. LOL. My novels are my way of talking to the world. I’ve been making up my own stories, poetry and fairytales since I was a child. I used to gather my family in the living room and tell my stories. They would clap and say they were wonderful. LOL.

Now I bring my stories to the world audience. I write in a variety of genres. My stories are intricate and I like to put my spin on things. LOL. Meaning I don’t do the typical so expect a twist to come and when it does I hope it makes the reader go hmm... or wow. I like to surprise and give readers something to think about.

Also I have to write it’s just something I must do. I get cranky if I don’t. Also I have an opinionated muse named Mikayla who well… It’s not pretty I shudder to even think about it.

Sally: Any author who names her muse warrants this question: Where did you get the idea for your book?

Taige: Golden Seduction features the King of Cups tarot card. It is part of the EC Torrid Tarot theme. When I decided to write the story I thought of many things. The most prominent thing I wanted to portray was reverence, duty, desire and love. Aleneic, my hero is a man who has been tested and all he holds dear has been taken from him. He has kept his wisdom and kindness. Aleneic will find a woman whose belief in him that will humble and ultimately change him. Golden Seduction is an exploration with lots of surprises that even shocked me.

Sally: So, what is the one thing you want your readers to take away from reading your book?

Taige: I want them to take away the sense of hope and sensuality. The hope of my hero and heroine. The sensuality of their love story will touch many emotions. They will have an adventure and utmost love.

Sally: Okay, now for the probing and well, let's face it, downright nosey question. What is your naughty secret?

Taige: I have a weakness for Jello and caramel. Yum. Use your imagination {wink}.

Sally: Okay, I think that is JEDI (Just Enough Damaging Information), yes I just made that up. Hussy Time! But I'm not through with you yet, Taige. I have to know what's next? As in Books.

Taige: I have a few more releases coming up for this year and 2008.

Okay, that's the teaser, all you hussies. Go visit Taige's website and find out the answer to my last question.

Thank you for being with us today, Taige!
