Let's get to the heart of Sasha White and that's obviously getting in the minds of women and right into their fantasies.

Fantasies are a fact of life. We all have them, and there's no reason to be ashamed of them. In fact, I think we need to encourage them. Writing them is a great way to encourage people to accept and enjoy their own.

Right now it seems your theme is the Gypsy Heart, which just happens to be the title of your first erotic romance novel, which will be re-released by Samhain in April. Tell us about Sable Castle, a free-spirited bartender and reformed bad boy Gage Dougherty.

Sable is a woman full of dreams and determined to go after them. However, like most of us, deep down, she's a bit scared of actually achieving them. She wants to be a photographer, yet she works behind a bar and keeps photography as a hobby. She wants to find love, yet when Gage offers it, her first urge is to run.

Gage is a very special man. he's been the bad boy and he's done the casual relationship thing. Now he's ready to settle down with a good girl. At first he tries to stay away from Sable because she's a huge flirt and he thinks she's just another party girl. But when they get to know each other, things go off track for them both. It was my first romance story ever. I'd done erotica, but that one, it was, is and always will be special to me.

The gypsy theme is continued in the Amber Quill Press release of "The Petshani." Your e-book features Karenna Logan and her sexy dream lover, who really isn't a figment of her imagination. Is he? Tell us about his dying race and why he needs Karenna's assistance.

The Petshani are an ancient Gypsy race that live in a different time/dimension than we do. Raised as the traveling pleasure givers they can sing, dance, fight and make love in the most gifted ways. Each Petshani also has a specialty. They're sort of like Romany Giesha's, but are also male and female. In their world, the King has tried to tie them to one court, instead of letting them roam as they always have. A war has has been waged and they are being hunted. With less than a handful of them left, Shandor, their leader, contacts a human in our dimension and asks for help and that's where The Petshani starts.

Talk about "out-of-this-world" problems, Max Cooper, an ex-Coast Guard officer, finds himself in unfamiliar territory in "Abduction." In the Amber Quill e-book, how did Max "crash land" in Captain Tyla Natori's ship? What is he doing there? Does he have any plans to leave? Tell us about the sequel, "Transplant."

Max doesn't actually crash land on Tyla's ship. She abducts him from earth.

Her race is one that males are rarely born into. The females rule and they need men. So they bring Transplants from other planets (like Earth, and a few others) to live on their planet. Mostly as sexual toys. *grin* They don't normally abduct men, they give them a choice, but in Max's case, Tyla has an urgent need, and she feels he's the one for her, so she goes for it.

"Abduction" is the story of Tyla's grabbing him and the start of their relationship, and "Transplant" is what happens when they land on her planet.

In "The Devil Inside," poor Caleb Mann has been dumped by his girlfriend because she considers him boring in the bedroom. How does he end up on a blind date and later playing pool in a gay bar? Psychic Gina Devlin is having more than visions now that she’s met Caleb. Can their relationship turn into something stronger?

If I told you how he ends up on the blind date and playing pool in a gay bar why would you read the story. LOL. Let me just say that this story is one of a conservative good guy who tries to inject a bit more fun into his life, and gets more than he ever thought possible when he meets Gina.

What is Lacey Morgan serving up in "Losing It?" Makes you want to change your job to the catering business.

"Losing It" is a fun, sexy short story about two alpha's trying to figure out who's the boss. It's a short story so there's not much I can tell you without giving it all away except to say the sparks start at the beginning and never let up.

Which of your short stories was published in "The Mammoth Book of Women's Fantasies?" That's one big book with 512 pages.

It's a short story called "Home Study." A pure sexual fantasy that I think several women would enjoy. It's not a romance, it's not a love story. It's erotic that is there purely for enjoyment..and it was great fun to write.

They tell you not to even think about relationships with co-workers, but 15 writers focused on this theme in the anthology "Sex in the Office." Tell us about your story, "Shift Change," in this Virgin Publishing 2005 release.

"Shift Change" is the start of Katie and Joe's story. Katie and Joe are also the main characters in my July release from Berkley entitled "Bound." It's the story of a good girl and bad boy.

What pays your bills and feeds your soul?

For now, bartending pays the bills and traveling feeds my soul. Soon though, writing will pay the bills and I can write anywhere, so I'll be traveling again, too.

What's your current writing project and when can we expect to read it?

I've just finished the last round of edits on "Gypsy Heart," it's going to be re-released by Samhain Publishing in April and right now I'm working on "Lush," my single author anthology for Kensington. It's three separate stories that revolve around an erotic art galley and will be released in March 2007.

However, you can read more of my stuff in July when the "Pure Sex" anthology is released as well as my first single title novel "Bound," (That's Katie and Joe's story and you don't have to read the short story to read the novel...all the details are in there).

I have one more Triton story to write, the sequel to "Abduction" and "Transplant," and maybe some more "Petshani" stories, if readers like the first one.
