    Interview with Candy Kavana

    Tell us about
    yourself, please.
    At work, I’m a
    successful marketing executive. I’m good at my job and I’ve moved up the
    company ladder. Outside of work, I’m a bit of a recluse. If it weren’t for my
    best friend Stacy, I’d have no social life. At least, that’s where my story
    begins. I’ve only made love to one man, my dirt-ball cheating ex-husband. Even
    then, it was nothing exciting.
    What is it that
    you want, but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.
    I’m really
    repressed and very uneducated about the sexual world. Because my ex was so
    demeaning, I just don’t thing I’m very good in bed either. I want contact. I
    want connection. I WANT AN ORGASM.
    What’s your internal
    limitation? Meaning, what is it about you that makes it so you cannot do what
    it is you need to do during this story?
    I have a difficult
    time with new things sexual in nature. Stacy calls me a prude. I’m really my
    own worst enemy. But I’m grabbing ahold of my lady balls and moving on with
    life.
    What inner doubt
    causes you the most difficulty?
    As I said, the ex
    told me I was bad in the sack. We never tried anything other than missionary
    and blow jobs for him. So my self-esteem is pretty much shot. I found the most
    interesting form of sex therapy, so I’m learning to get over myself and find my
    inner vixen.
    What’s your
    external complication? In the story world your author created, explain what it
    is you fear most.
    The world’s view of
    a sexually free woman. I don’t want to be seen as a whore, even if I want to
    act like one. I’m terrified it’ll ruin my impeccable reputation.
    Are you happy
    with the way your story ended? Why or why not?
    Oh Anita gave me
    knowledge, power, orgasms and hot people to experiment with. I’m satisfied (and
    a little spent.)

    About the Writer

    You have the
    length of a tweet (140 characters) to describe yourself as a writer.
    Let’s see what you can do. Anita Cox has an
    affinity for leather and high heeled boots. The same vivacious attitude can be
    found in her erotic adventures.
    Why did you
    choose to write about this character?
    I’d met a woman who
    was about 30, in Candy’s situation. Her story was quite sad, but it got me
    thinking…what if there was an erotic turn of events? Then, owning a swing club,
    I had several ideas about realistic scenarios I could put her in.
    When you wrote
    about this character, what made you the most happy? What made you the most sad?
    I was the happiest
    the first time she took charge. I felt her power increase, her self-esteem heal
    and I really enjoyed watching her finally enjoy sex with a man.
    Why do you
    write?
    There’s another
    option? I’d be a compulsive liar if I couldn’t write.
    Are any sequels
    planned for this book?
    I think the trilogy
    is great as it stands. Adding to it would just drag the story on.
    Is there
    anything you’d like to say to your readers?
    The greatest
    feeling an author has is when someone enjoys their work. It is with utmost
    sincerity that I say, I hope you enjoy the Dirty White Candy series.
