This is a Natasha’s take of the Fairly Tale Little Red Riding Hood ……
………….. & Little Red never looked so good!
If you had to describe yourself in 1 word, what would it be?
Busy. I wish I could say I was sassy or exciting or exotic, but with a full-time day job and home and family and writing sexy stories – I’m just plain busy.
Can you tell us a little about The Better to Eat You With?
When Red Sage said they were looking for different takes on familiar fairy tales and classics, I thought it sounded like a fun thing to try. Here’s the blurb:
Did Red Riding Hood get the story wrong when she said her grandmother had been eaten by a wolf?
When Nicholas Wolfe surprises Elise at her lonely house in the forest, she decides to use him for sex like he did with her before he left years ago. They didn’t want the same things from life back then, but Wolfe is back to convince Elise to give him another chance.
What was your inspiration in creating this Urban Fairy Tale?
I love reunion stories and when I thought about a way to twist this particular fairy tale, I immediately thought of pairing grandmother and the wolf – partly because I hadn’t seen it done before, but also because I am a grandmother. But that doesn’t mean I still don’t love and desire and enjoy really hot sex - and a really hot guy to enjoy it with! I wanted to give these slightly older characters their own happy ending.
Why Little Red Riding Hood?
Because I couldn’t resist the title. As soon as the familiar line “The better to eat you with, my dear” popped into my head, the erotic writer in me was off and running.
What was your favorite scene to write in The Better to Eat You With?
Definitely when Elise and Wolfe see each other again for the first time in twenty-five years. All the emotions, good and bad, come rushing back. And they’re still attracted to each other, so it’s a really hot scene too.
Do you have any other Fairy Tales you would like to re-vamp and make your own?
I’d love to try a twist of Beauty and the Beast, but it’s been done so much that I don’t know if I could come up with something unique. I’d love to try, so if the idea reveals itself, I’ll definitely write it.
If you could trade places with your character Elise would you want to?
That’s a tough one. Probably not. I’ve been lucky enough to still be with the love of my life after thirty years and I didn’t have to be a single mom. But, you know, to have a hunky guy like Wolfe come back to find me because he couldn’t forget me…that’s mighty tempting.
What was your favorite Fairy Tale growing up?
Cinderella. Doesn’t every little girl who has to do chores dream of falling in love with a Prince and moving to a castle?
What are you currently working on?
I’m currently writing another reunion story. The hero is an erotic artist and the heroine is a woman with whom he had a night of forbidden passion in the past. Of course, he’s never forgotten her either.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Oh, wow. You want me to choose just one? We remember all those embarrassing moments like they were yesterday, don’t we? The worst one I still remember was when I was in college and I waited out in the parking lot forever for some guy who ended up ditching me. Looking back, I know it was a good thing I didn’t go off with him, but at the time it was humiliating.
If you could ask the readers one question, what would it be?
What is your favorite fairy tale and why?

My absolute all-time fave fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast. I'm eager to read all the great naughty interpretations of the fairy tales that you've been showcasing the last couple of days.

My favorite fairy tale is Sleeping Beauty----doesn't everyone want to be kissed awake by a handsome prince?
February 27, 2010 3:21 PMI'm a big fan of Grimm fairytales (not the Disney stuff). I'm not sure I have a favorite- I tend to like some of the lesser known ones where people are sent off on a quest or tricked by an evil wizard. I think my favorite adaptations have been of Cinderella though, maybe because there's so many of them.
February 27, 2010 3:25 PMI really wasn't into fairy tales as a kid. I like Greek mythology. Well, I suppose they could be considered fairy tales, but back then they seemed very different. Other than that, I was more of a sci-fi gal than a fairy tale gal when I was younger. Now, paranormal and erotic interpretations of the old fairy tales are definitely bringing fairy tales back into my reading choices.
February 27, 2010 3:32 PMMy favorite fairy tale is Cinderella! Love that despite how difficult things were for her, she won in the end......got her HEA!! :)
February 27, 2010 5:28 PMYes, I agree with Blanche. Cinderella is a favorite of mine too. She got her happy ending even though everything seemed to be against her.

Cinderella has always been my favorite since I was 6 yrs old. She survived through the terrible living arangements and found her Prince. Here I am now at 67 still waiting on my Prince Charming. LOL...I can even sing the song that the mice sang for her. LOL,, and Bipity Bobity Boo..Spell??
February 27, 2010 9:25 PMGreat interview. Have read review and was very interesting. It's hard to imagine reading fairy tales with sex. Would like to read.

I always enjoyed Snow White it would be great to see how you could change it around to make it an adult version.

My favorite is Beauty and The Beast because it was sweet seeing Belle love the prince in his beast form.
February 27, 2010 11:22 PMI always enjoyed Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Mine is The Ugly Duckling. I've always like that story because it shows that one should not be judged by appearance alone.
February 28, 2010 10:43 AMtamsyn5@yahoo.com
I always liked Cinderella.She persevered through a tough situation and got her HEA.
February 28, 2010 10:55 AMI love Sleeping Beauty because it is down right romantic. Who doesn't want to be awakened with a kiss from their true love. I know...blah, blah. lol
