AUTHOR INTERVIEW
1. So tell us a bit about yourself. What’s your
background?
I’m Clarissa Wild, and
I’m a 23 year old writer of New Adult Romance and Erotic Romance. My latest
book FIERCE, which is a college romance, became a top 200 bestselling Romance book
on Amazon. My new book FURY is number 1.5 in the series, and it’s a retelling
of FIERCE from the guy’s POV.
2. What’s the story behind your book? Where did
you get the idea?
FIERCE was created
when I listened to a song from the Goo Goo Dolls called Iris. It told a story
of a guy who was misunderstood and the only one who could understand him was a
girl. I knew I had to do something with it. Somehow the idea of drugs and
college popped into my head, and from there on out I created a story. Sometimes
ideas just pop into my head!
3. What is it that you like most about writing?
I love creating new
worlds and stories and coming up with plots and secrets that will amaze
readers. I love writing about things that are shocking, on the line of what’s
right and wrong. I like seeing what my work does to readers. Their reactions
keep me going.
4. When you write a book, how do you start? Do you
plan ahead or do you do something else?
Before I start, I must
have a few songs available to listen to while figuring out the plot, so I
always search for music that fits the storyline. I create all the characters
and their backgrounds first in a spreadsheet. That way I know if it’s too much
to put into one book or not. I almost always know how many books I’m going to
write before I start writing. Then I start crafting all the scenes, chapter by
chapter. Once I have that done, I start writing. :)
5. Do you have any tips for other writers out
there?
Yes, always keep
writing, and never give up! I can’t stress this enough. No matter how many
times you fail or something doesn’t go your way, you have to keep going. It’s
the only way to succeed. That, and drink plenty of tea or coffee ;)
6. Are you planning on writing more? If so, what
types of other books can we expect?
Yes, of course! First,
I have a sequel to FURY in the pipelines, which will be book 2 in the series.
It’s called FLAME and will continue Autumn’s and Hunter’s love story. Then I
would also like to write another book in this series, number 3, which will
focus more on his brother, although this idea is not set in stone yet. It all
depends whether I’ve got enough material, so it might happen or might not
happen ;) If you get my drift.
I have plenty more
other novels coming up that I am still brainstorming about, but you’ll definitely
hear more from me in 2014 and onwards! Can’t wait to bring you all some more
amazing books!

Excerpt:
My forehead leans against hers as I gaze into
her deep blue eyes that are full of longing. I want her to believe me, to trust
in me, to feel that I need her. I didn’t want her to get hurt because of me,
but I can’t stay away any longer. I need her more than anything. She is my drug
and I’m giving in to my addiction.
I lick and bite my lip in anticipation, waiting
for her to let me in. I can’t stop wanting her, but if she really doesn’t want
me the same way I do then I’ll have no choice but to stop. “Tell me what you
want. What you really need. Do you want me to let you go? Do you want me to
stop hunting for you?” I whisper.
I’m pleading in my head for her to say ‘no.’ I
look her in the eye, telling her without words that this is what I desire the
most. She takes in a deep breath and opens her mouth.
When she says, “Kiss me. I want you to kiss
me,” I’m done for.
I press my lips on top of hers like before,
taking it slow and easy this time. It felt like I was dying of thirst, but now,
after knowing she’s okay with it, I’m much calmer. I take her lips in slow,
lavish licks, kissing her with every ounce of my love.
She shivers in my arms as I hold onto her
tight, pulling her closer to me. She kisses me back tenderly, her lips as
caring and soft as she is. Her hot mouth is driving me insane. She’s the only
one who can do this to me.
She’s turning to mush in my arms, and I love
how it feels, so powerful, so intense. My instincts take over as I grab her
hands and pin them above her head. I alternate my kisses with nibbles, arousing
her so much she moans out loud. My cock responds with enthusiasm, poking
against the fabric of my pants, eager to take her.
Before I know it, my hands are slipping down
her body, along her waist, and to her thighs, my fingers desperate to squeeze
that tight ass of hers. Her arms find their way to my chest, and I love how she
feels me up, desperate to get a hold of me. She twines her arms around my neck,
giving me full access to her skin. I kiss my way to her neck, finally able to press
my lips on that one spot I know winds girls up. She starts panting, and then I
know I’ve hit the sweet spot.
I’ve waited so long for this that it takes
every fiber of my being not to pick her up and bang her against the car right
now. She’s a virgin, and I don’t want to make her do things she’s not ready
for. She’s never been fucked, and that’s all I ever do. I don’t make love. I
bang girls, take them in whatever position I like. I’m not so sure she’s even
been kissed like this before.
But shit, this is fucking hot.
I pull back for a second, breathing out my
horniness. “God, that dress,” I groan. “Why’d you have to put that on?”
“Couldn’t come to the party in a pair of
sweatpants,” she mutters.
She giggles when I leave little pecks on her
collarbone, peeking down into her dress. I can already see the swell of her
tits, primed and ready for me to cup and lick the crown. “Hmmm …” I rest my
head on her shoulder, nibbling on her earlobe. “You look so damn hot … You
don’t wanna know what goes on in my mind when you’re all dressed up like this.
It’s too dirty to handle,” I whisper.
I can feel the goose bumps forming on her body
as my hands slide down her arm. “Although I wouldn’t mind the sweatpants
either. Easier to take off.”
Although nothing beats her sex appeal in this
black dress. Damn.
I suckle on her earlobe and move back to her
lips again, leaving hickeys all over her neck. My hand shifts to her ass and I
squeeze tight, feeling her perky flesh in my fingers. She gasps. Hot fucking
Jesus. Now I really want to come inside her.
Our lips are locked, our eyes closed, and my
mind is whirring with thoughts about stripping her bare. When she grasps my
hair and tugs me closer my cock thumps in my pants. My fingers slide down her
leg and move up her dress, slowly getting closer to her most sensitive spot.
God, I wonder if she’s ever been touched there. I’d like to be the first.
I’m fucking her with my mouth, my tongue going
crazy as I press my cock against her thigh. Sweet Jesus. We’re not even naked
yet and I already feel like I want to make her scream my name.
