Cheryl Dragon

Turning thirty has taken Marina, and her two friends Jen and Lori, by surprise. They want it all-love, career, and great sex! She knows Lori can have it all and comes up with a plan to make sure at least one of them gets a happily ever after.


Available 10/3 from Pink Petal Books

Marina's plan is simple. Pick your best sex ever and let your friends check if he's Mr. Right. Marina doesn't care about her ex; she has her eye on a new man.

Jen has secrets but plays along until there's nowhere to hide. Falling for your friend's ex isn't being much of a friend.

Lori is stuck. Turning thirty has her with a great career but she missed Mr. Right, leaving him for family approval and climbing the corporate ladder. Now with the help of her friends, she has a chance to fix things with her sexy mechanic.

Finding the best in bed may be the best thing that's happened to these three friends.

An Interview with Cheryl Dragon
By Katie Raines for The Romance Studio

KR: Cheryl, thanks for talking with us at TRS. Tell us about your exciting new release, Best in Bed.

CD: Best In Bed is about three friends facing thirty who realize the expectations are changing. Careers have been their focus but now the pressure is on to get married and have kids.

In life the rules change and these three friends are in it together. To make sure they haven't missed out on Mr. Right, they decide to look up their best sex ever.

KR: Three friends looking for Mr. Right and finding out so much about themselves in the process. Where did you get the idea for this playful and smoking story?

CD: I'm the youngest in my group of friends and I saw the shift as they turned thirty. The pressure to get married grew and keep up the successful careers. That made me think about what if they'd passed up the right guy because they were working on climbing the corporate ladder. Of course real life is never as much fun so my imagination was sparked and I created the characters for Best In Bed.

KR: Which of these three women is your favorite?

CD: Lori is the drama queen. She is working so hard at succeeding without using her parents connections that when the rules change, she's thrown. This overachiever knows exactly who the right man is for her. Family and friends hold a lot of influence in her life and she's got to be strong to follow her heart.

KR: Which one do you relate most to?

CD: Definitely Marina, she's the common sense and down to earth type. She knows life isn't a fairy tale but wants to help her friends make their lives better.

KR: This is released from Pink Petal Books. What can you tell us about this exciting new publisher?

CD: Pink Petal Books publishes romance novels where the focus is on the relationship. PPB believes that love is a beautiful thing regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, or the numbers of people in a relationship, and seeks romances along those lines. Sweet romances are as welcome as erotic ones, and I feel very lucky to find a place that would take a chance on a slightly unconventional romance where the focus is relationships among friends as well as the romance.

KR: So what are you working on now, Cheryl?

CD: Right now I'm working on a m/m erotic romance with para elements. Back For More will be come out in Jan 09 from Loose Id.

KR: Do you plot your stories out or do you just go with the flow?

CD: I plot the main turning points so I know the overall arc. Then I start writing and try to be flexible about how the characters get there. Sometimes they just want to do things I didn't anticipate!

KR: Do you find your best stories are ones that poured out in a short period of time? Or tales that you took your time on?

CD: I draft my stories very fast, they pour out and I do my best to capture it all. Then I take my time on the edits.

KR: Of all of your heroes to this point, who would you most like to be stranded with on a tropical island?

CD: Drake from Black on Blonde. That sexy shapeshifter would never get boring. He could turn into anything.

KR: Which hero would you spend the rest of your life with and why?

CD: My heroes are made for the heroines...they wouldn't be right for me. Believe it or not, my couples feel real and they belong together.

KR: What have you always wanted to do in your life, not just in your writing career, and haven't done yet?

CD: I'd like be to able to write full time and have a vacation home in Vegas. So be filthy right :) I'd love to do that...lol!!

KR: Thank you!
