Interview given by Eve Vaughn!

Celia Kyle

Eve: Hi Celia, thanks for agreeing to this interview

Celia:  Thanks for having me!  I mean, why wouldn’t I agree?  You’re EVE!  (<-All caps and yes, I’m a total fangirl.)

Eve: Stop it girl! So tell us a little about yourself.

Celia:   Hmm… I live in south Florida with my hubby of seven years and my three cats.  Ugh, I am a bit of a cat lady.  If hubby didn’t keep me under control, I’d have even more.  I do have an evil day job in an office that keeps me pretty busy, but I still manage to find time to write and snuggly with the hubster.

Eve: Hmm, I get the feeling there’s more than a little snuggly going on, but I digress. You’re a relatively new author. Tell me how your journey began.

Celia:   I actually started writing reviews for JERR which is where I met my friend, Tasha.  She was looking for someone to help kick her butt when it came to writing something other than reviews and I offered to help.  I figured, “why not?”  So, I jumped in head first and haven’t looked back.  That was in August of 2006.

Eve: Congratulations. You’re certainly making a name for yourself. I can say I knew you when. :-) You’re very prolific, how do you have time to write so much?

Celia:   I have a hubby that works nights.  Seriously.  I don’t watch TV because what’s in my head is undoubtedly more interesting, so I write while my husband works.  The cats lounge around in the room with me as I type away. 

Eve: What are you currently working on?

Celia:   Right now I’ve got three short stories going at the same time, which is unusual for me.  I typically write one piece at a time, but they all began shouting for attention, so they’re getting it. 

Eve: What other authors inspire you?

Celia:  EVE!  LOL  Okay, other than you, I’m inspired by Julie Garwood, Lisa Kleypas, and to swing to the other end of the spectrum, Allison Tyler.

Eve: You’re a sweetheart. If you didn’t write, what other career would you have taken up?

Celia:   Teaching.  I taught dance to three-year-olds when I was in college and loved being around kids.  If teachers got paid more, that’s what I’d be doing. 

Eve: What don’t you like about writing?

Celia:      The waiting.  I can deal with the edits and cover art and everything else, but the waiting kills me like nothing else.  I am an instant gratification kind of gal, and waiting for a month or more to hear back from a publisher just kills me.

Eve: Where would you like your writing to eventually take you?

Celia:  To England!  Seriously.  My royalties all go into an account that’s “mine” and hopefully I’ll be able to save enough for hubby and I to do a spot of traveling.

Eve: Where can readers find your books?

Celia:   Changeling Press, Liquid Silver Books and soon from Aspen Mountain Press and Cobblestone Press

Eve: And your website?

Celia:  www.celiakyle.com

Eve: Now for the fun questions

Celia:  Yay!

Eve: Do you know where the Funky Bunch is?

Celia:  No, but if Marky Mark is there and his half nekkid, I’ll find them soon enough.  ;)

Eve: Marky Mark is dead to me. Favorite name for male genitalia?

Celia:   Cock.  The “k” sound at the end coupled with the shortness of the word, just turns me on for some reason.  Dick doesn’t quite generate the same reaction…  I’d rather have a man with a big cock, than a big dick. 

Eve: You’re nasty. *g*  Favorite word for female genitalia?

 Celia:   My favorite word when writing?  Kitten.  When referring to it in real life?  Mrs. P.  (Because I’m married.  Otherwise, it would be Miss P) 

Eve: Uh, (scrathes head) okay. Would you moon a group of Girl Scouts for a million bucks?

Celia:  Um, yeah!  But only if I’m not going to get arrested for indecent exposure.  Then again…  I’ve got a million bucks so who cares!?

Eve: I think I need to call the child protective services. Do you really think big hands and feet mean a large schlong?

Celia:  No.  Because I’ve seen short men with small hands and feet who could be nicknamed “Tripod” cause they were so big. 

Eve: LOL! If you committed murder, where would you hide the body?

Celia:  In your backyard.  What are friends for, after all?

Eve:  Don’t you have any other friends? I may be out of town that weekend. Anyway, I have a confession. I let the dogs out. Now it’s your turn. Tell us one of your deep dark dirty secrets.

Celia:  I write smut.  Oh, you knew that already.  Damn.  Okay….  I’m addicted to cartoons and teeny bopper movies.  I have no problem waking up on Saturday mornings and vegging while watching Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Eve: I love that show!! That’s not much of a confession though. Who wouldn’t you rather be right now? Amy Winehouse or Britney Spears?

Celia:  Britney.  Amy can go to rehab, but Britney just doesn’t have the ability to make any sound decisions, it seems.  There’s no cure for stupidity.

Eve:Amen. If women have nipples to feed their babies, why do men have nipples too?

Celia:  Because God knew how much fun they were to play with and he didn’t want the men to feel left out.  I mean, he felt bad because he’d already made men look so ugly nekkid, so he had to make it up to them somehow.  Why not give them nipples?  Nipples for everyone!  Woot!

Eve: Have you ever made out with a guy who wore a mullet?

Celia:  Um, I’m not that old.  Okay, sorry readers who are old enough to have made out with mullet wearing men, but I was born in 1980.  So, if I had… he’d have been a child molester or he’s really behind the times.  Like, really.

Eve: Hey, I know you must have seen some guys still sporting a mullet. Who can resist a man who’s hair makes such a statement: business on top and party in the back? But I’ll let you off the hook this time.

What’s a cooler name for anal sex, dookie digging or sliding down the Hershey Highway?

Celia:   How about the Chocolate Love Slide?  No?  Fine.  I’ll go with Hershey Highway cause dookie digging is just… blech!  Gross!

Eve: Thank you for being a good sport, before you go, could you please tell us how we can contact you?

Celia:  No.  Fine, okay.  You can drop me a line through my contact form on my website.  It helps me keep spammers away and you can still send me an email!  Woot!  http://www.celiakyle.com/contact/
