Hello SASSE Readers, let’s welcome Kassanna to our SASSE World. Pull up a chair and tell me if you prefer ice cream or cake for our little chat.

Kassanna: Cake, vanilla with that ridiculously rich icing that makes your teeth hurt afterwards but tastes so flipping good.

SASSE: Yum! That cake is making me drool! LOL. Tell the readers a little about yourself. How did you get into writing? Have you always thought you would be a romance writer?

Kassanna: I have always written things, looks short stories, created characters as imaginary friends. Narrated stories in my head but I ever thought I would actually become a published author. My husband took a look at all my notebooks I the closet one day and told me I needed to do something about my hobby. To be published and have readers is humbling and beyond a dream come true for me.

SASSE: What was the first romance book you ever read? What did you think? What was your first impression of the genre?

Kassanna: This Calder Ranch by Janet Daily. I loved that book and must have re-read it a hundred times. I wanted to live on that ranch in that world. To read romance and get lost in the fantasy was is much better than my reality sometimes

SASSE:  Can you explain to the readers about the Pride Riders? How did you come up with this series?

Kassanna: Pride Riders are a motorcycle club of big cat shifters. Transplants from Africa, they are just trying to live like everybody else and things just keep going wrong. I got the idea from watching a Hells Angel documentary and thought what if they were all cats with sexy accents?

SASSE: Are there more Pride Riders to come?

Kassanna: Yeah, Prowl, which is Ari’s story will be net in the series. As the resident comedian I am finding his story to be hilarious.

SASSE: You are one of the “shifter queens of romance” with dragons, snakes, bears, wolves…oh, my, my, my…are there any animals you can’t imagine making into a shifter in one of your romances?

Kassanna: Rabbits, small creatures, as Ettienne and Myka put it in Pack Rulez. If a bunny was a shifter a predator would be conflicted, he wouldn’t know whether to eat or screw his or her mate. I don’t want to put my characters through that kind of trama. LOL! And thank you. I never thought of myself as one of the queens of shifter romance. That made me giggle.

SASSE: What gets you all choked up or emotionally charged in a story you write?

Kassanna: When the villain get away with whatever he or she is doing wrong. I never know how a story will turn out or who the next book will be about. In that aspect you can call me a true pantzer so when I open up my wip I’m never quite sure who will emerge or what they have to say. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don’t but it’s not my story to tell, ya know, I’m just the vessel to get it done.

SASSE: If you could write in any genre that you have never written in before what would it be?

Kassanna: A YA steampunk. I think it would be fun.

SASSE: Thank you Kassanna, this has been just delightful to sit back with you and learn a little more about you and your story.

Kassanna: Thanks for having me it’s always a pleasure talking, love connecting with people.
