Synopsis:
When sexy Dom Sebastian sees Ashley, he can’t seem to take
his eyes off her. She will become his love. His pet. His slave. He’s cared for
her since high school but he was different then. He was scrawny and geeky and
unpopular. The only times Ashley knew he existed were the times when she was
making fun of him. Ashley had been in control her entire life but things were
about to change. Sebastian has been reunited with Ashley and is now intent on
training her to become the obedient, submissive woman who will please his every
need, his every whim.
Careful to conceal his identity, Sebastian hides behind a
mask, hoping she doesn’t recognize him. Only there is something strangely
familiar about his piercing baby blues. He doesn’t reveal his name to her,
instructing Ashley to address him only as Sir. He often refers to her as
Wildcat, the screen name she used to meet men online. Sebastian spends months
training Ashley to submit, but his feelings for her often get in the way. He
tries to remain tough because he has vowed to never love again, never let
another woman hurt him, but there’s something different about Ashley. She makes
him want to be a better man. There has always been a soft spot in his heart for
Ashley. Can Sebastian learn how to truly love someone and can Ashley love a man
she’s never really known?

Author Interview
Name: Raine Storm
Age 33
Where are you from Lyndhurst, Ohio (near Cleveland)
A little about your self `ie your education Family life etc
I’ve always loved reading and
writing and feel that books give us all a chance to get away
from reality for a bit. I also
really enjoy sports. I have spent some time coaching
baseball and I love to watch my
beloved Cleveland teams on TV even if they usually let me
down.
Fiona: Tell us your latest news? My first erotic novel
Wildcat will be coming out
later this month. I had always enjoyed writing psych
thrillers but it’s been a lot of fun
expanding into the erotica genre.
Fiona: When and why did you begin writing? I began writing
when I was just a young
child. It’s always something I’ve been good at and I’ve
gotten lots of compliments on my
writing but I also write because I absolutely love books. Especially
real books. I collect
them.
Fiona: When did you first consider yourself a writer? I
think I’ve always considered
myself a writer. There was a four year span where I quit
writing because I received so
many rejection letters but once I heard about
self-publishing I went back to be the person
I always have been, a writer.
Fiona: What inspired you to write your first book? All the
compliments on writing
inspired me to write my first and I’ve been writing them for
as long as I can remember.
Last April I released my first novel. A psychological
thriller called Hazed and Chained
and holding that first book of mine in my hand is one my
life’s greatest moments to this
point.
Fiona: Do you have a specific writing style? My style is
that I’m a dark writer. I often
pride myself on shock factor and I’m not afraid to tell
things like they are.
Fiona: How did you come up with the title? I got the name
Wildcat from a scene in the
movie speed when she was driving the bus and the bomber
called her Wildcat.
Fiona: Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp? There are two
messages. One is that no matter how tough and closed off a
man is the right woman can
change is thought process entirely and the other is that in
order for any relationship to
work things need to be good in the bedroom. Communication is
key to that. Don’t be
afraid to tell your partner what you want.
Fiona: How much of the book is realistic? It’s mostly
fictional but there are a few
things I’ve taken from real life. I usually add some life
experiences into my books. I’ve
definitely taken some things friends have said or done and
put them into the book.
Fiona: Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life? Some of
the sex scenes are from things I’ve tried with partners in
real life yes.
Fiona: What books have most influenced your life most? My
favorite books are the
Catcher in the Rye, The Time Traveler’s Wife and Gone Girl.
Catcher in the Rye is good
because the character is so brutally honest. Gone girl has a
lot of shock factor which I like
because it’s a similar style of writing to mine and I feel
it’s helped me improve my style
and Time Traveler’s Wife is a very well written love story.
Not usually my thing but that
one got to me a bit.
Fiona: If you had to choose, which writer would you consider
a mentor? I would
have to say Gillian Flynn just because of her style of
writing, so brutally honest, dark,
suspenseful and shocking.
Fiona: What book are you reading now? Currently reading
Captive in the Dark by C.J.
Roberts.
Fiona: Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest? C.J. Roberts would be
that person. Not sure how new this author is but the author
is new to me.
Fiona: What are your current projects? My current project is
the Wildcat trilogy. Book
one will be out later this month and I also am looking into
a re-release of Hazed and
Chained.
Fiona: Name one entity that you feel supported you outside
of family members. My
friends are the ones who also kept me going, who always
believed in my writing ability.
Fiona: Do you see writing as a career? Absolutely. Writing
is definitely a career to me
and not a hobby.
Fiona: If you had to do it all over again, would you change
anything in your latest book?
I would change some things in Hazed and Chained. I would put
more detail in the sex
scenes and make the book a little longer.
Fiona: Do you recall how your interest in writing
originated? Just from all the
compliments on my writing and loving to read from such a
young age. My parents said I
was reading entire books at two years old so I think it was
inevitable that books would be
a big part of my future.
Fiona: Can you share a little of your current work with us?
My current book Wildcat
shows us Dom Sebastian attempting to train Ashley, a former
dominatrix into
submission. He is tough, cocky and a little arrogant but
develops a soft spot in his heart
for his sexy sub.
Fiona: Is there anything you find particularly challenging
in your writing? Honestly
writing has never been all that challenging to me. It’s
always been fun. The most
challenging thing is meeting deadlines and goals.
Fiona: Who is your favorite author and what is it that
really strikes you about their work?
Gillian Flynn is my favorite but I also like James
Patterson. Gillian writes dark books
with shock factor and James Patterson adds some good mystery
into his books.
Fiona: Do you have to travel much concerning your book(s)? I
have yet to travel much
due to my writing but I’ve currently been setting up some
public appearances so it looks
like I’ll be on the road quite a bit soon.
Fiona: Who designed the covers? I don’t currently have a
cover designer though I’ve
spoken with a few in recent weeks.
Fiona: What was the hardest part of writing your book? The
hardest part of writing Hazed
and Chained was writing Ray’s character. I could never be as
sick and twisted as he was.
The hardest part of writing Wildcat is honestly that it’s
tough to write erotica without
stopping because you are horny.
Fiona: Did you learn anything from writing your book and
what was it? What I learned
from writing any of my books is that there are still a lot
more readers out there than I
thought, mostly female. This is definitely a good thing
considering the spelling I’ve seen
in some text messages by the younger generation of late.
Fiona: Do you have any advice for other writers? Read a lot
and write a lot. Observe your
surroundings. Pay attention to facial features of people
without staring at them. Pick up
on conversations around you. These are things you could use
in your books.
Fiona: Do you have anything specific that you want to say to
your readers? Make sure to
leave reviews. That’s how we really make our living so we
can support our own families.
Fiona: Do you remember the first book you read? The first
book I read was called,
“Whole stole the Wizard of Oz.” It was about kids who
searched for a library book that
had gone missing.
Fiona: Other than writing do you have any hobbies ? My
hobbies are sports. I love being
athletic. I play tennis and coach baseball when I can. I try
to stay active.
Fiona: What TV shows/films do you enjoy watching? I love the
Blacklist and Law and
Order: SVU as well as King of Queens. My favorite movies are
Back to the Future,
Speed and Cruel Intentions.
Fiona: Favorite foods / Colors/ Music I like Steak, Meatloaf
and Tacos. Favorite color is
Orange. Kid Rock is my favorite singer/songwriter
Fiona: If you were not a writer what else would you like to
have done? Baseball player
for sure.
Fiona: Do you have a
blog/website? If so what is it? Yes. I’m on Tumbler. http://
