About the Author
Blakely
Bennett grew up in Southeast Florida and has been residing in the great
Northwest for over eight years. She graduated from Nova Southeastern
University with a degree in psychology, which accounts for her
particular interest in crafting the personalities, struggles, and
motivations of her characters. She is an avid reader of many genres of
fiction, but especially enjoys erotica and romance. Writing has always
been her bliss.
Blakely is married to a wonderful, loving, and supportive husband, who is also a writer, and who helps to keep her grounded. She is a mother, a communitarian, a lover of music (it is always on while she is writing thanks to Pandora), and a good friend. An advocate of love and female empowerment, she is also a facilitator for a women's group. She loves to walk and hike for exercise, and finds that, since moving to Seattle, Washington, she is now one of those crazy people who walk in the rain.
Stuck In Between is her fifth novel. She is also the author of the dark erotic suspense My Body Trilogy (My Body-His, My Body-His (Marcello) and My Body-Mine) and the co-authored of the contemporary romance, The Demarcation of Jack which she wrote with her husband, Dana Bennett.

Q&A
1.
If you could be one of your characters, who
would it be? Why?
Lainie but I can’t say why. You have to
read Bittersweet Deceit to find out.
2.
At what age did you realize you wanted to be an
author?
10th grade after reading
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
3.
Top 5 shows you watch on TV?
The Voice
So You Think You Can Dance
Masters of Sex
The Big Bang Theory
The Next Food Network Star
(I love watching people chase their
dreams.)
4.
Any playlists you like to listen to when you
write?
Yes! I share them in my Bound by Your Love
Series novels. On Pandora the stations I’ve been listening to most recently
are: alt-J, Lorde, Florence + The Machine, John Legend, Alex Clare, Stateless, The
Xx, and many more. Sam Smith is my newest love.
5.
If you could have any hobby, what would it be?
Skydiving and sailing.
6.
Any WIP’s?
Two: The third book in the Bound by Your
Love Series called Blue Persuasion and a steamy romance called The Second First
Chance.
7.
Favorite writing time snack or snack in general?
Chocolate and potato chips (not at the same time). I don’t typically eat when
I’m writing. I tend to forget to eat.
8.
Any tattoo’s? What are they? Where are they? When
did you get them?
Linked hearts on the top of my right foot.
Yes, it hurt a lot! I had wanted to get one for a long time but I didn’t want
anything anyone else had. I was 41 when I finally got it. The outline is from a
wooden sculpture we found in Alaska, which now hangs over the head of our bed.
9.
What’s something adventurous you’ve done?
Entering the publishing world has been
quite the adventure. I have traveled a bunch but not nearly enough.
10.
Favorite Actor or Actress?
Meryl
Streep if I have to choose but I’m not particular star struck over
anyone.
11.
If you couldn’t be a writer, what would be your
dream job? It can even be something you are not talented with or are scared of?
An actor. I was decent at it in college but
knew I couldn’t stomach the constant rejection that goes with it.
12.
Biggest fear?
My husband dying too soon. He is the love
of my life and I hope he lives to be 100.
Also that the dream I’m chasing won’t reach
its destination.
13.
If you had a billion bucks, what would you do
with it?
Support all the causes important to my
husband and me, be very generous with family and friends, travel A LOT, hire
people to deal with my social media except connecting with my readers, get a
ton of services like house cleaners, weekly massages, hire a PA, did I mention
traveling? Our dream is to find a destination we want to spend time in and then
set a book there.
