Sami Lee - I just love her name, it's so cute, I have a thing for boy type names for a girl. Well now that I got that out (lol), lets talk about Sami .
As you can see in her pic she is just adorable. So full of laughter and spunk. Rhian Cahill describes Sami like this "Sami is a pocket dynamo that I wish I could keep on hand for her wonderfully witty come backs. That woman cracks me up ALL the time. Plus she's cute. *grin*"
I thought Sami was the quiet and more reserved one out of the Down Under Divas but from what I'm being told I think I may have missed judged her :)
Sami Lee is a little under the weather right now with Tonsillitis but was so kind enough to take a few minutes out and answer a few questions for us.
1. What is your favorite thing to read?
I love to read a good rom com book, something by Jenny Crusie, Susan Elizabeth Phillips or Rachel Gibson. 1. What is your favorite thing to read?
2. If you had to choose 5 things you couldn't live without, what would they be?
5 things I couldn't live without, hmm. Books (of course), pasta, good wine, my man (I really should say that :)) and my girls. 3. What is the craziest thing you've ever done (that you'll admit to)?
Many years ago I bungee jumped off a bridge in New Zealand. I thought I was going to have a heart attack and die on the spot! I was told facing my fear of heights would cure it. It didn't! 4. What is your biggest guilty pleasure?
Probably reading erotic stories on my e-reader in public places and knowing nobody realizes what I'm reading. Then again, I don't feel that guilty about that. 5. What would you do if you found out you only had seven days left to live?
Isaac Asimov famously said he'd type faster! But 7 days isn't long enough to write a book so I'd write letters to my girls passing on all the wisdom I've collected over the years (actually 7 days might not be long enough for that either *wink*. Is there anything else you'd like to tell your fans? Upcoming releases? Trips? Conventions? Contracts?
I've had a very busy couple of years and I've only recently begun getting some serious writing done again. At the moment I'm focusing on one day at a time, one story at a time. I don't have any new release news YET but there will be some in the near future. That's a promise to myself and anyone else who has been waiting and wondering when the next Sami Lee will ever get here. Fingers crossed when it arrives it'll be good!
Thanks for featuring me and the Divas this week Dawn. It was fantastic to meet you at RT in LA, one of the best trips of my life!
Find out more about Sami Lee, her books, and where to find her on the web.
Sunset Stories
Late nights, lazy days and plenty of whipped cream. Come and meet the sexy chefs of idyllic Knight's Bay..
Sunset Knight - Book 2
Lana Green is looking for a lover. At twenty-three, she’s more than ready to shed her shyness and shake up the status quo. Lucky her, the aloof bad boy she’s always wanted to shake it with, Brody Nash, is back in town. Too bad he barely knows she’s alive. Then an unexpected kiss makes her think her days of lusting from a distance are over. Despite the fact she’s no femme fatale and has zero clue how to seduce a man, she sets out to do exactly that.
Brody hardly recognizes the alluring woman as the same gawky computer geek he left in Graceville six months ago. Lana has him spellbound, but his temporary stay in town is strictly business—running his friend’s restaurant while the man’s on his honeymoon. Brody doesn’t do relationships, and he doesn’t do permanent. But when he finds her asleep on his boat, he can’t keep his hands, or any other part of his anatomy, to himself.
Things get complicated when he discovers what he thought was a casual sexual encounter has just cured her of the one thing she wanted to get rid of—her virginity.
Chasing Sunset -Book 1
When the sun goes down on their erotic encounter,who will be left standing?
After an unsettled childhood, Sidney McCall has finally found a home in Graceville. This dream town comes with a dream boyfriend. Drew Buchanan is charming, romantic, completely devoted to her—and he cooks! Now if only the whole commitment thing didn’t give her night sweats…
Drew, a professional chef, wants nothing more than to give Sidney everything she’s ever dreamed of, both in and out of bed. Even if it means serving up her most secret wish complete with a whipped-cream topping: a tryst with two men. His best friend Brody Nash is the missing ingredient, and the only man he trusts with the woman he loves.
What starts out as a little harmless sexual play quickly boils over into something none of them expected. An emotional minefield that could forever change the course of their lives.

Dumped by her boyfriend and on thin ice in her law career, Sophie Edison badly needs to re-evaluate her life. She escapes to her favourite hideaway on the tropical island of Fiji, where the attentions of the resort owner – the enigmatic and lethally sexy Dominick ‘Nick’ Dufour – prove a temptation too great to resist.

Before long she starts to wonder if she can ever go back to her old life.
Nick has lusted after Sophie for years. When she turns up at his secluded resort alone for the first time he wastes no time in making her his lover. Sophie is his perfect match in bed, and in the ocean and the shower… But although he might long for something more Nick knows theirs is just a holiday fling. For he is keeping the secret of his checkered past from Sophie and it could prove the ultimate deal breaker…

ReplyDeleteSarcastic pocket rocket--I think I'll get T-shirts made up. With either that slogan or 'coolest person ever'. Either would work :)

Hi Sammi.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I have read any of your books yet, but I would love to. I love the colors and design on your blog...*S*
I'm finding authors that I haven't had the pleasure to read by following the Smutketeers website and blog, and at Yahoo. I've started following you, and thank you for sharing a bit of yourself. I have met so many wonderfully sweet authors and its been a great experience.
Thank you!
