Learning my place with Daryl Devore

Purchased to be trained as a courtesan, Branwyn arrives in a strange new land. A castle called Black Dorn. Her instructor, Duna Trea, is horrified by Branwyn's lack of knowledge of the relations between a man and his woman. Branwyn begins her daily lesson in the art of bedding a man.Back from battle, Prince Malack rests near a brook to freshen before returning to the court of his father. His life is lonely. The noble woman chosen to be his bride rejected him and bedded his hated rival. Malack turned his anger and loneliness onto the focus of battle and increasing the power and wealth of Black Dorn.Branwyn, lost and afraid, nears the handsome stranger standing by the brook and requests his help. Malack raises his eyes and his gaze settles onto the face of the woman who will be his queen.  


MP-Since you’ve twisted Little Red and brought her into the age of consent, what’s your favorite fairytale and why? 

DD-Cinderella – the romantic concept of the poor little girl finding her Prince Charming so appeals to the romantic in me and goes with the story line of Black Dorn.   

MP-What’s your favorite part of being an erotica writer? 

DD-I get to write what other people giggle at.  When I tell people I'm an erotic romance writer – they get all flustered and don't know what to say.  But their body language is screaming what they are thinking. Most people try and be cool with it, but I can tell it's an uncomfortable moment.  

MP-What universal themes run through your books? 

DD-I've noticed that water is a recurring theme – Derek and Arianne make love in the Caribbean, Sexy Red Hood meets her woodsman and wolf on a cruise ship, Branwyn and Malack make loves by a stream – probably something very Freudian there.I guess the type of universal theme you mean is – love conquers all. I've written 2 contemporaries, one historical and am working on a fantasy and that's seems to be the main theme running through all of them. 

MP-When you write historical, how much research do you find yourself doing? 

DD-I did a decent amount.  In one scene, at a banquet, they taste chocolate for the first time and I had to make sure that was historically possible.  I also checked speech patterns – I was terrible at contractions. So I checked to see if people in the 1400s used them – they did – so I put them in. I had to check if they had bathtubs. So many little things.  

MP-Pick your three favorite characters; who would you marry, dump or date?

DD-In Black Dorn – I'm marry Gon-dra Malack. (Gon-dra means Prince.) He's passionate and caring and has a big sword. *wink wink*I'd date Duncan – he's loyal and true.I'd dump Timous – he's a bitter angry little man.

Malak is a keeper, Daryl. You and I would have to fight over him. Or...maybe we could come to some agreement. LOL Wonderful interview.

Good job, Daryl, Black Dorn is top notch. You know, since you never defined a time period or location and since Black Dorn seemed to be so different, yet close to Brandwyn's home, I always considered the story to be Historical Fantasy sans dragons, goblins etc.

Thanks Dee. Is that a hint I should write an Historical fantasy? Will put it on my list after I finish my WIP.
