What is your favorite thing about the Holidays?
Holiday decorations — I love putting up the Christmas tree and all the lights. Putting the tree back up after the cats decide to climb in it, however...
What inspired you to write your book?
I’d seen the antho call from Evernight for A Vanilla-Free Christmas: Manlove Edition, and decided to try my hand at writing a sweetly kinky ménage story. Since I used to work at the University of Chicago, I set it at a fictional bookstore near campus, and the rest of the story pretty much wrote itself.
Share a Holiday anecdote with the readers
-- My very first Christmas with the husband was supposed to be spent at my in-laws’ home, celebrating the holiday. Instead, it was spent on the side of the M1 in England, where we were stranded in freezing temps after our car blew a head gasket. As we huddled together waiting for an RAC tow truck to come rescue us, we figured that if we could handle this on our first major holiday together, we could probably handle anything. Twenty years later, we’re still going strong.

About Nicola
Nicola Cameron is an expatriate Chicagoan who has lived in England, Canada, Holland, and Sweden, and keeps a confusing amalgamation of languages in her head as a result. Currently located in the clavicle of Texas, she has finally mastered the proper use of "y'all," much to her Chicago family's dismay.Despite a healthy interest in sex since puberty, it wasn't until 2012 that Nicola decided to try writing about it. As it turned out, the skills she picked up during her SF writing career transferred rather nicely to erotic romance. When not writing, she wrangles cats, smooches her husband, makes dolls of dubious and questionable identity, and thanks almighty Cthulhu that she doesn’t have to work for a major telecommunications company any more (because there’s BDSM, and then there’s just plain torture...).
Tomorrow... Julie Lynn Hayes
Way to go ladies, it's fabulous seeing all these posts AND the different answers. Glad you survived that Christmas Nicola. Sounds so typically English!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Lord, that winter. I'd been driving on the left for all of a month in an Austin Princess, this champagne-colored slab of a car that a friend had been kind enough to lend us, and I was nervous enough about getting on the highway. When I saw that cloud of steam in my rear-view mirror, I just thought, "Yeah, should have expected this." Luckily we were able to get all of our stuff (luggage AND presents) into the back of the RAC tow truck -- we weren't the only people to wind up stranded that night due to bad weather, and the driver had gotten really good at stashing stuff in his cab.
DeleteWhat fun! Thanks for letting me enter your contest!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing!
DeleteBeing in that car must've been terrible at the time but it sounds like an inspirational memory now! Perhaps in more ways than one with someone so talented! Happy Holidays!
