I was first introduced to SK Quinn through a book I found on a free Kindle books email I subscribe to. I read that it was Fifty-Shades-esque (and who can go wrong with forbidden passion) and got it, but it took me a while to get it opened on my kindle. But when I did, boy was I in for a treat. I eagerly looked forward to the rest of the trilogy to be released and was not disappointed. So, when I heard that she was bringing out a new book, I got all giddy and posted to her announcement that I'd do anything I could to help promote her new book, The Ice Seduction. Much to my excitement, she took me up on my offer, and even agreed to an interview (yay!). Enjoy, my friends!
What made you want to
become a writer?
Do you know, I'd never really thought about that! I've just
always written, but I never really think of myself as a 'writer', if you see
what I mean. Just someone who likes writing. I always wrote stories. I remember
writing a load of stories about me and my friends when I was about 7 on my
dad's computer, and he read them all and I was SO embarrassed! But I got him
back. For my first book launch, he dressed up as a Japanese dragon for me, so
all's well that ends well ...
What a great dad! I'm guessing that was for Glass Geishas...

What are you most
proud of (as a writer or not)?
The people who read my books. For sure. They are the most
amazing, loving beautiful women you could ever meet, and I am so proud to have
them as my fans. I love seeing their lives on Facebook, and I am so honoured
when they share things with me. I love writing romance, because the fans are
just the BEST!
Who’s your favorite
character you’ve written?
So far, I like Patrick Mansfield the best (from The Ice
Seduction), but I will always have a soft spot for Mark Blackwell from the Ivy
Lessons. He's so commanding! Oh, and I really love Sophia's best friend Jen
from the Ivy Lessons. She is such a good friend.
I saw the men she's modeling him after...yum-my!
What is the funnest
part of writing for you?
Probably the bedroom scenes :)
My personal favorite...the scene at the Globe Theatre. Not a bedroom scene, per se, but...damn, Marc Blackwell is ballsy!
What’s the hardest
part of writing for you?
Getting the plot down at the beginning, and then leaving the
book alone at the end and not going over and over it. Oh, and I read other
fantastic romance writers like EL James and Jamie Mcguire and then find it hard
to write because I realise how good they are!
Where do you get your
story ideas?
Fairy tales, mainly. Ivy Lessons is sort of Cinderalla, with
a dark twist!
Ivy College looks
beautiful in my head when I read about it. Was there a place that inspired it?
So sweet of you to say that. Cambridge university inspired
the place! I need to put some pictures up on my pintrest page: http://gb.pinterest.com/susannahquinn/ -
I will!
Where did Marc
Blackwell come from (he is so frickin’ sexy)?
Why thank you! I always see him as a little like Christian
Bale (Batman), mixed with Robert Pattinson. But I love hearing how readers
imagine him - it's awesome! I think us girls miss a strong man these days. It's
nice to have a hero who takes charge :)
Christian Bale + Robert Pattinson = *Sigh*
Yeah, I can totally see that...Christian Bale gets all broody and sexy...yummy!
What is your newest
book, The Ice Seduction, about?
It's about a nanny who goes to work in a remote castle in
scotland, and falls for the lord of the manor. The nanny, Seraphina, is very
headstrong, and the hero is a rugged, ex-army officer who is very commanding
and bossy. So prepare for fireworks!

Is there any relation
to Mansfield Park by Jane Austen?
I suppose I'd better admit that I've never read Mansfield
Park ... :) But I've seen the movie! So not intentionally, but maybe Wuthering
Heights and Jane Eyre a little? That's if I'm making myself sound really
literary ...
To be honest, I don't think I actually finished Mansfield Park either...but loved the BBC versions of it!
Tell us about Patrick
and Seraphina.
Ah! Thanks for that question!
Seraphina Harper - She lives on a canal boat and works hard
to look after her little sister. She's a great nanny, and kids love her, but
she has trouble taking orders.
Patrick Mansfield - The young, rugged and handsome lord of
the manor, who falls for Seraphina in a big way. Patrick is an ex-army officer
and a real man's man. He's not used to women who don't do as they're told, so
Seraphina is like no one he's ever met before ...
Here are some pictures of Seraphina and Patrick on
Pintrest: http://gb.pinterest.com/susannahquinn/
Beautiful pics of hot men... (Su, we might have to have a throwdown on who gets Chris Hemsworth for their hero, though. I've already claimed him for my own book! :)
What is one thing
that your readers should know about you?
That I'm a mommy/mummy, and I love hearing about my reader's
families and seeing their pictures. When you have kids, a beautiful thing
happens. Every child becomes your child. And I'm so lucky that thanks to
facebook and twitter etc. we can all be part of this big family.
Oh and PS - my little baby girl is on my lap while I write
this!
I love meeting people on Facebook, so if you want to make
friends I'm right here: https://www.facebook.com/IvyLessons
