Author Interview: Shannon Youngblood

pizap-com14823553093991

Welcome back to another deluge into Del’s twisted mind! I am here with another author who is just as sick and twisted as I am! Say hello to my little friend, Shannon Youngblood. Shannon writes and thinks a lot like me. Real. Even if we are going fantastical with what we are writing, we still want our players to be real. From her book Just A Man, it’s sequel Just A Woman, and her newest release which I reviewed earlier this year; Chub Rub, I have never failed to be sucked into one of her books. Shannon is a great friend and I love the fact that she took time out of outlining her most recent title, Trapped, to answer my questions. Oh and if you are wondering… Trapped won’t be out until March, 2017. So, without further ado, I present to you the amazing, wonderful Shannon Youngblood!!!

Shannon Youngblood is a thirty something, foul mouthed, erotic romance(ish) writer, who loves telling a story full of broken pieces, and broken people. There is no subject too graphic, or too taboo, to grace the pages of her stories. Shannon believes that life is not always Happily Ever Afters and Flowers, and sometimes her stories might reflect that. (You mean my characters might not get a Happily Ever After? OH NO!!!) Shannon lives in a suburb of Detroit with her equally as foul mouthed husband Lord Vader, or as his mom would call him, Vaughn, as well as her two fur babies Shit Head #1 (Emma) and Shit Head #2 (Jasper). Shannon loves hearing from her amazing, dirty minded fans as well! Be sure to follow her on her social media sites!

Del: Favorite Genre to write and why?

Shannon: I haven’t fully decided that yet, though I will tell you I am leaning towards Erotic more than romance, and suspense vs contemporary. I love reading a book that can give me heart palpitations, so why not write some as well!

Del: Least favorite book to write?

Shannon: I don’t think I’d be able to get into paranormal or YA. My subjects are too raw and taboo for YA, and I’ve never been a huge fan of the paranormal when I read.

*Well, this explains why she still hasn’t read Mistress of the Vampires.*

Del: Favorite book to read?

Shannon: Almost anything with a love story (even if it is unconventional). My absolute favorite that I never turn down though, is anything dark and super taboo!

Del: Worst book ever?

Shannon: Oh uhhhh, I don’t know if I’ve ever read a book that was TERRRRRIBLE. I’m probably going to get some slack for this, but I really disliked To Kill a Mockingbird. IJS, Sorry ’bout it!

Del: What’s your guilty pleasure?

Shannon: Guilty Pleasure books are always Twilight and 50 Shades. Yeah I liked em…. What can I say? So did half of America and the world…

*I can’t say much. I enjoyed the books. The movies leave much to be desired.*

Del: What is your favorite movie?

Shannon: Depends on which day you ask me, and what my mood is. I’ll give you my top 3 instead– Shawshank Redemption, V for Vendetta, and The Sound of Music.

*I shouldn’t tell her I haven’t seen V for Vendetta. She may disown me. I’ll let you guys know.*

Del: What drives you to write what you write?

Shannon: Writing for me is the creative outlet I have been looking for, for a lot of years. I’ve done all the crafts from crochet, to glass painting, to necklace making, and it just wasn’t enough. I had too many ideas in my head. My imagination has spilled over into my *ahem* bedroom life *ahem* and sometimes real life doesn’t live up to that imagination. (Hey, not every guy can run a BDSM club alright!). Writing my books has given me an outlet to voice the things I would love to try myself (along with a husband that reads them to get idea’s).

*HAHAHAHA! I think I know what to buy him for his birthday.*

Del: As an author, what is your ultimate goal (i.e. You know in your heart you have made it big)?

Shannon: I want to go into Target one day, and see my books on the shelves. That right there would be the dream of a lifetime for me.

Del: What do you like doing in your free time?

Shannon: Free time? What’s that?

Del: Hey! Who’s asking the questions here?

Shannon: No, for real though. If I’m not working, writing, or reading (which is the majority of what I do), you’ll find me at the bowling alley. My husband and I go at minimum 2x a week, sometimes 3.

Del: If you could meet anyone who would it be and why?

Shannon: I’d love to sit down and pick at Pepper Winters brain. Her idea’s are like nothing I have ever heard of before, and they suck you in to the story. I want to learn her secrets.

Thank you soooooo much for your time Shannon! I love you girl. Get back to work because I know you’re reading this! Follow her below. Trust me, she’s worth stalking!
