What genre do you write in, and why? : paranormal romance. I love happy endings and things that are out of the norm. I always ponder what if, and like to create stories that could happen...maybe.

How much time do you spend writing every week? : Every free minute I have :)

What was the first story you ever wrote about? (not nec. first published story) : vampires and a Frankenstein's monster type creature.

How do you judge the effectiveness of the sensual scenes in your stories? : I usually have my CP's read and crit my stories because they will be honest. Sometimes it's easy to forget that as the author I know everything about the characters while my reader's don't. Not until I tell them.

Do you ever try out the sexual positions you write to make sure of accuracy? : I try them fully clothed. I refuse to use my husband like the toy he wants to be. What's the fun if I give in :)

Ever been told, Um...sweetie, that's not how it works? : No.

What one word best describes your toy collection? : small *giggles

Favourite candy while writing? : chocolate

Where did your most unusual plot idea come from? : Most come from dreams. I'm a freak.

What inspires you to write? : Lots of things. Music, movies, books, real life around me.

What music inspires your writing? : Depends on the story. I change playlists with each book :)

Plotter or a Panster? : A bit of both but mostly panster.

Does your cat insist on sitting on your keyboard like mine does? : My daughter is allergic. No cats *sigh

What is your most embarrassing moment as an erotic romance author? : When a relative asked me for advice that on a subject I wasn't even comfortable being asked LOL

Most challenging place you've ever written a spicy scene? : My dining room at dinner time.

When you get stuck, how do you find your way back to the writing? : My Cp's beat me into submission

The Personal stuff:

Any outrageous liaisons in your past? No. I'm rather boring.

Where's the most unusual place you ever managed to have sex? : uh....*whispers The Bed.

What kind of books do you read for fun? : Paranormal romance, mysteries

Is your real life anything like your stories? What about your fantasies? :Real life is nothing like my stories. My fantasies? Bring on the naked vampires in kilts baby!

Soulmates? Do you believe? : yes.

You just gave me a story idea. Thanks!

Cake or Pie? Coke or Pepsi? Tea or Coffee? : Pie – sierra mist – decaf tea

Irish Dreams - Available now

I am so thrilled to share with you, my story - Irish Dreams.

Sex therapist by day, erotic lucid dreaming sex kitten by night, Eryn can't understand the driving need to find her dream lover. Sure the dreams are hot, and the man is even hotter, but as a modern woman, she's not supposed to allow hormones to rule her.

When a trip to Ireland brings her face to face with the man of her dreams, though, she throws caution to the wind and submits. But what happens now that it's no longer a dream?

I really had a good time writing this story and bouncing ideas and back and forth with my friend Eileen. I also love the reviews I've received for this story!

Irish Dreams by Michelle Hasker is an erotic thrill ride filled with intriguing characters and an excellent plot. Simply put, it's HOT and I loved every minute of it.
