Kathy
Kulig: Hello, Lexi. Please tell us something about yourself, where you’re from,
and how you became a writer.
Lexi
Post: Well, I’m kind of from everywhere, at least within the United States.
I’ve lived in NJ, NH, MA, IA, IN, AZ, DE, MD, and now I’m living in the U.S.
Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. I have
to say I love the weather here (except during hurricane season). As for
writing, I came to it from two directions. I was a literature major for my
degrees and I fell in love with romance novels at age 14, so I was constantly
flipping between Shakespeare and Kathleen Woodiwiss, Melville and Johanna
Lindsay. I guess it is no wonder that I
decided to write erotic romance inspired by the classics. For people who aren’t into classic
literature, my story is a complete erotic romance with happily ever after, but
for those who want to read the original first, they will find another whole
level of meaning, so it is fun either way.
Kathy Kulig:
What paranormal elements and characters do you incorporate in your stories? Who
are your favor paranormal creatures—Vampires, werewolves, demons, etc.?
Lexi
Post: My paranormal is always subtle and a bit different each time. For example,
in my debut release Masque, I have 73
ghosts and a 185 year-old hero who is neither ghost nor immortal. Okay, maybe
that one isn’t so subtle. It’s because this story was inspired by Edgar Allan
Poe’s short story “The Masque of the Red Death.” You see, Rena Mills plans to
turn an abandoned abbey into a haunted bed-and-breakfast to prove she can be
successful without her ex-fiancé. What she finds inside is Synn MacAllistair,
the distinguished, self-proclaimed Ghost Keeper. Her dreams soon fill with
sexual cravings for him.
Synn,
born in 1828, is determined to free the souls of the resident spirits, blaming
himself for bringing the Red Death that killed them. When Rena steps into the
old Pleasure Palace, he’s sure he can take her through the 7 after-midnight
Pleasure Rooms and stoke her passion to complete the Masque so the souls can
cross over. Her innocent fire makes him crave more, but it’s far too late for
him.
As
Rena begins her erotic journey, her heart becomes more involved with every
sensual caress until she discovers by completing the Masque she will lose her
ghosts! Synn’s betrayal wars with her compassion for her ghostly friends. Torn,
she must make a choice between her financial security and freeing 73 trapped
souls. Either way, she could lose her Synn.
As
for which paranormal creatures I favor, when it comes to reading, I have to say
shifters. I’m an animal lover at heart, so these human animals really tug at my
heart strings J
Kathy
Kulig: What are you working on at the moment? New release coming up?
Lexi
Post: I am working on a couple projects right now. I have a new book to be
released this fall by Ellora’s Cave called Passion’s
Poison. In this erotic romance
inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Rappaccini’s Daughter,” the paranormal
element came from the original story. Beatrice Rappaccini is poisonous. However, in my story she has to release those
poisons to stay alive by having sex with unsuspecting men, and the men, well,
let’s just say they don’t feel so good afterwards. This does cause a bit of a
problem when Bea falls head over heels in love. I mean, really, she could
easily kill the man simply by losing herself in the moment!
The
other project I’m working on, as in writing furiously, is the Passion of Sleepy Hollow. As you can
imagine, this story was inspired by Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow,” and its paranormal element involves an 18th century witch and a disappearing
village. The heroine lives in Old Time and the hero lives in New Time, so I
guess you could say their time together is limited, unless of course they make
love. This story does include the Headless Horseman. In fact, he’s the hero!

Masque was one of the best books I have read and I love the idea of taking classics and making them into great PN books. Looking forward to the next book!

Kimmy, I am having so much fun writing the PASSION OF SLEEPY HOLLOW. There is more paranormal in it than I planned! Hmmm, I wonder why.
You are welcome, Fancy.
Aw, thank you Ashley. PASSION'S POISON will be out before you know it :-)
Thanks for being a guest, Lexi and offering the lovely mask as a giveaway. Hope you're all enjoying the holiday.
Thank you for having me Kathy. My holiday is going great!
First, let me say that I am not commenting to win the mask. I have already gotten one from this incredible author. I would however like to say that Lexi's Masque is a great read. If you are into paranormal and erotica, Masque is definitely for you. I loved the book and am looking forward to Sleepy Hollow! Good luck with your future endeavors Lexi!
