Today I would like to welcome to RFTC author Tamaria Soana. Tamaria is currently on tour for her book Tropical Cougar and has stopped by to answer some questions. Before we chat with Tamaria, lets get to know her a bit.
Tamaria Soana is middle aged, but just feels like her life has begun. She resides in Western New York. Cuddling up with a good book under an electric throw has always been her way to escape the cold Buffalo nights. Growing up she always loved to write, mainly short stories and poetry. She's married with two beautiful young girls and one very spoiled lab mix.Places to find Tamaria:
First off, can you tell us a bit about you?
I’m 40 years old, married, and have two girls 7 and 3.
Did you always want to be a writer?
No. I always loved to read. The writing just kind of happened. I have an overactive imagination.
What kind of writer are you? Panster or Plotter?
Panster
Where do your ideas come from?
Everywhere. Tropical Cougar came from wanting to write an older woman, younger man fling.
A la Twitter style, can you describe your book (or series) in 140 characters or less.
Seth escapes to Jamaica in hopes to leave his past behind and start fresh. What he didn't expect was to fall for an enchanting older woman.
Out of any of your books, which one would you like to be a character in? And why?
LOL. Maybe Sylvia in Tropical Cougar, she is 45 and I’m 40 and who wouldn’t want a hot steamy affair with a younger hot man.
What are some of your favorite kinds of stories to read?
Erotica, lately I’m reading a lot of paranormal.
Do you have a favorite book and if so what is it?
Oh my. I have many. To many to list.
Have you ever fallen for another author's hero?
If so, who and why? Not really. I’m in love with all of mine.
Describe the characteristics that make up your perfect hero.
Hot, loyal, honorable, with a naughty edge. ;)
What are the scenes that are the hardest for you to write?
The sex scenes.
If you could have dinner with any three book characters, who would you choose and why?
Christian Grey, Carlisle Cullen, and ?. There are so many I’ll leave the space open because it changes daily.
If you could have dinner with any three authors, who would you choose and why?
Danielle Steel, Nora Roberts, and Ella Jade.
What do you like to do in your free time?
LOL! What is free time? I’m a mom of two young girls.
Favorite movie?
Grease
Favorite song?
I LOVE all 80’s music, so picking a favorite would be hard.
Favorite color?
Blue
Last question, are you working on anything right now?
Yes. Sweet Dreams. The inspiration for this short sext story came from the song Sweet Dream by Beyoncé.
After finding the love of his life in bed with someone else, twenty-six-year-old Seth Reynolds wanted a fresh start and found it in Jamaica. Being a bartender at one of the island's exclusive resorts has its perks...not the least of them being a very sexy, older woman: Sylvia Radcliff. While she's determined to celebrate her forty-fifth birthday, Seth is equally determined to seduce the most enchanting woman he’s ever met.

"Get up, sleepyhead, breakfast is here," she said, crawling up his naked body.
"I would rather have you for breakfast, but you have a robe on."
"I couldn't answer the door naked, could I?"
"No, I guess not," he whispered, reaching to tug on the belt of her robe.
"The food will get cold," she replied as she playfully pushed him away.
Seth let out a laugh. "I don't care. I just need a taste. I'll make it quick; just trust me," he said as he hovered over her. He looked into her blue eyes and smiled when she nodded, giving him all the incentive he needed. He leaned down and kissed her lips before traveling down her body.
He took each nipple in his mouth and sucked hard before he pushed her legs apart, and his tongue found heaven "Mmmm, you taste so sweet." He moaned into her warm flesh.
