Behind the Scenes of the Wild Wicked Weekend
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about the
upcoming Wild Wicked Weekend in San
Antonio. Then again, what happens in San Antonio...
It’s wild. It’s wicked. It’s one glorious weekend in February
that you will never forget - especially the parts where pictures will not be
allowed.

Bio
I’m really a boring suburban mom who practices as a business
attorney. I just happen to be a Domme and an erotica writer too. I’m also one
of those people that has to be doing something all the time or I feel like I’m
slacking off. I blame my Greek heritage. My relatives never retire.
I read all the time and believe that e-readers are the best
invention ever. I hate waiting to get a book I’ve been looking forward to. I’m
also a hopeless romantic, be it FM or MM.

What is my main
responsibility behind the Wild Wicked Weekend?
I hired and ride herd on the hosts and set up the trip to
Hardbodies strip club. Yeah, I know, I got all the really HARD jobs! My friends
recognize that given I’m a Domme, I know how to crack the whip when it comes to
naughty boys. And while I didn’t set up the dungeon tour, I’m definitely going.
Question(s) from www.WildWickedWeekend.com and contest info:
Kellee R. asks:
How does your immediate family feel about your writing?
"Why yes, my daughter does write erotica"
Do you make a living writing or do you have another job?
Do most self pubbers use professional editors/critiquers or do they use really talented friends?
Do you make a living writing or do you have another job?

Sam:
My family’s reactions are a mixed bag. My husband is supportive
but he’s such an intensely private person that the idea of my being a writer at
all mystifies him. He doesn’t understand why I love to go to conferences and
meet readers. My kids are between 15 and 20, two girls and a boy, and they are
mortified that their MOTHER not only has sex but writes about it too. Most of
the rest of my family are part thrilled, part embarrassed, but overall
supportive.
I wish I could make a living as a full time writer, but alas, not
yet. My “real” job is being a business lawyer. That sounds boring and it can
be, but I’m proud of the career I’ve built over the last two decades and can’t
imagine not practicing the law.
I’ve only done one self-pubbed, Wet Ride, and used a
professional. I always send a story to Dalton before I send it to my editors. I
can always count on her to catch the big problems. I think for new authors in
particular, you need a professional, though. Dalton knows she can tell me
something sucks and I’ll take it well and still love her afterward. But most
family members and friends can’t be that honest with you.
