Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.
Dakota Trace. I’m an avid reader, crazy mom/nana, a health care worker and sometimes author. Been writing since I was a teenager before getting published in 2008. Dang where did the time go? I love to write in various genres from contemporary erotic romance, menage, male/male, bdsm, and my latest addition: daddy doms.
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
I’d have to say the others after it. Such high expectations from the readers.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Don’t beat yourself up when the writer block comes. We all experience and like most things, it will pass. (This is from an author who’s coming off a three month writer’s block.)
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
When I write, it’s usually two to three hours.
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
I’d have to say Willem from my Rawhide Ranch books. He’s a very old-fashioned Daddy Dom who isn’t in a rush to get to the good parts. Every part of the relationship is a ‘good part’ for him. He wants the whole person, just not what his lover can give him in bed.
What is your definition of success?
Success? Having one person find joy or the ability to escape into one of my stories. If I entertain even one person, then I’ve done my job.
What are your social links?
