First to be honest, I sought out Judith myself. I read her
bio, and the details of this book. I told her what I do, and offered up my
services to her. The reason? Because I liked that she wrote about a voluptuous
plus sized woman, and wanted to make an amazing story for and about her. I also
liked how she presented herself, and I thought my readers would enjoy the
insight into her work as well.
The character that Judith writes about in “Smart As A Whip”
is Kimber Cassidy, and she is the beautiful woman portrayed on the cover, in
her mid twenties, and someone who believes that ‘size doesn’t matter.’
Looking at the cover, and the title, you are probably
thinking, this is going to be a story of nothing but sex and erotica, am I
right? Is that what you are thinking already? Well stop thinking, and follow
along with me, if you will.
Judith is going to take you into her world of BDSM where a
murder was committed, and Kimber’s friend Manny was charged for the crime.
You see, one thing that Kimber managed to pick up on from
her father, was his detective skills. Unfortunately though, he was killed in
the line of duty.
During Kimber’s investigation into the provocative BDSM
playplace lifestyle, Kimber will use every bit of the skills she learned from
her father, to determine who killed a member of their club. Her investigation
enlightens her to things she never knew, including things about her family, and
herself, which totally give Kimber a shock to her system that she had never
anticipated.
Once Kimber meets another member named Jeremy, she realizes
there is another world within the BDSM lifestyle, such as spankings and such.
She also is awakened to her own desires, learning that Jeremy is a person who
prefers to be a dom.
The fact that deep down inside of herself, Kimber can hear
her father’s own words of advice, which manage to keep her focused. Otherwise,
Kimber might have managed to have gotten lost in Jeremy. She had to remember,
who to trust, and stay wise, otherwise a man was going to be charged for a
crime he did not commit.
The book: “Smart As A Whip” is a definite five star read, I
liked the fact that it wasn’t just a story of sex, it had a complete story line
that you could delve into, and you wanted to solve. It was a mystery, and I
have never found a story so intense that I was rooting for the characters, like
I was with this one. Judith knows how to tell a story, and I am so glad that I
sought her out! She is an amazing story teller!
My questions for Judith:
1.
What made you write this and how long did it take you?
While
I was promoting for "Nadja's Choice", one question I would get asked
is what other genre besides Erotica would I consider writing. I always said
Mysteries, because I always enjoyed writing mysteries and thought it would be
interesting. After answering this question so many times, I figured I might as
well go ahead and just write a damn mystery. It took me about 3 and half months
to write "Smart As A Whip"
2.
Do you have any photos of Kimber Cassidy? Or maybe a description?
I
do have a few photos of how I imagine Kimber in my head. For one, she is
depicted on the cover, rather well by the wonderful cover artist at Blushing
Books. She is around 5'10'', long red hair in loose curls, blue eyes,
dimples and is plus size with a rather buxom and wide-hipped figure. She's very
intelligent, confident, independent and believes that she is very beautiful and
sexy woman.
3.
What made you decide to create a voluptuous plus size woman?
I
wanted to make a heroine that wasn't someone you typically see in this type of
format. I also thought that someone who wasn't a Barbie would be a character
that my readership could relate to. Specifically, a member of my street team
named Kimber Cortez, was posting some pictures of voluptuous redhead right
around the time I was beginning to formulate the plot for what was to become
"Smart As A Whip". They insipired my thinking and after posting what
I was thinking and getting a very favorable response from my readers, that's
the direction I went int.
4.
What is your favorite book of all time?
"The
Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. I'm currently
re-reading it now.
5.
Who is/are your favorite Author(s) ?
Douglas
Adams, Lawrence Block, Maren Smith, Tabitha Black and Alta Hensley
6.
Have you ever met any authors IRL?
yes,
Maren Smith is a local friend of mine and I've had the pleasure of meeting many
Blushing Books authors at their 2015 conference, including Tabitha Black, Alta
Hensley and Patty Devlin
7.
What is it that makes you desire to write?
I
love telling stories and I love entertaining people. I also hope to perhaps
open peoples' eyes about things that perhaps they haven't thought of before.
8.
Do you ever fantasize or make sure that your sexual positions and acts work
before you write about them?
As
a member of the BDSM community, I've either done or have witnessed and gone to
workshops concerning a lot of the practices that I write about.
9.
What are you working on now?
I'm
working on a Kimber short story and the second Kimber Cassidy novel
