Interview Anita Kidesu Author of Surprise, Surprise!

Give a warm welcome to Anita Kidesu , author of Surprise, Surprise. Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Anita’s Surprise, Surprise!

What inspired this particular story? “Surprise, Surprise” is a continuing story in the “Surprise” series. The first book was a short story for my publisher based on a candy heart I was given, “Surprise Me.” That short story turned into a book, “Surprise Me Again.” The couple in the story have identical twin sons, that I felt needed their own story, so “Surprise, Surprise,” was born.

Why do you write what you write? I need to explain that I also write under my real name, Tina Susedik. Under that name, I write romantic mysteries. But for some reason when I write as Anita Kidesu, my stories all end up as menage. I have no idea why since it has never been my lifestyle. One of my brothers says I’m weird.

 You’ve got a time machine, a cloak of invisibility, and one hour. Where would you go, and what eavesdropping would you do? That’s a tough one. I’d love to go back and see my grandparents in Germany when they were young. I’ve always been intrigued by Abraham Lincoln. It would be interesting to see him write the Gettysburg Address. Or eavesdrop on our Founding Fathers as they worked through creating our country.

What’s your favorite part of being an author? Creating characters and putting them in interesting situations. I also like to see where my stories are going to end up. Then there’s the research for my historicals.

What’s your approach to writing? Are you a plotter or follow your characters’ flow (Pantser) I’m a Pantser through and through. I get an idea for a story, have a general idea where it’s going to go, then let the characters take over. Sometimes it’s fun, other times, it can be a pain when they won’t talk to you.

Tell us a little about Surprise, Surprise.

Identical twins Jon and Matt Sandberg have each met the woman of their dreams—Jon while signing up for a cruise; Matt at a book convention. But when they discover they’ve fallen for the same mysterious woman, neither wants to let her go. They’ve shared a woman before, but Reenie is more than a passing fantasy. She’s so much more and could end up driving a wedge between their brotherly bond.

Registered Nurse Reenie Anatole is seeing double. At least, that’s what she thinks until she realizes she’s been sleeping with two men–twin hotties who have stroked her to magical heights of pleasure…separately. The situation leaves her embarrassed and infuriated until she learns their meeting was a fluke, and neither of her lovers knew. Now, she can’t help but be intrigued by the thought that two men might be better than one.

A peek between the pages of Surprise, Surprise.

“Wow.” Sally interrupted her friend and aimed her drink to a table across the room. “Would you get a load of those two guys. What a sexy pair.”

“What two guys?” Reenie picked up her glass and faced the direction Sally pointed.

“Those two. The twins. They. Are. Gorgeous.”

In the past, Sally had shown an interest in sex with two men—especially with twins. Reenie never quite understood it but had to admit reading ménage stories were a real turn-on. She looked across the room at a tall man standing by a table. All the oxygen in her lungs escaped. She swore time stood still as her heart stopped. Grabbing Sally’s arm, she gasped.

“Oh, my God. It’s him.”

Sally frowned. “Him, who?”

“Bart, the guy I’ve been telling you about.”

“You mean that tall guy by the table over there.” Sally nodded her head toward the man. “The one who looks as if he wants to devour you?”

Reenie’s raised her glass to her lips and met the man’s eyes. With her stomach flipping and her core springing to life, all she could was nod.

Sally nudged her in the side. “Or the identical one sitting at the table? Who, by-the-way, looks as if he wants to devour you, too”

Lowering her drink, Reenie glanced from the man standing to the man sitting. Both were staring at her. Both were… They couldn’t be… They… Shit. There were two of them. Two Barts. Her stomach rolled. Her drink threatened to rise to her throat. Which one had she slept with? If she’d had sex—make that incredible sex—with them both, did they know it?

The standing Bart was frowning at the sitting one. Now the sitting one rose and faced the other one. It seemed as if their exchange was getting heated. Oh, lord. That could only mean she’d been with both of them and neither one had known about it.

“There can’t be.”

“Can’t be what?” Sally asked, taking Reenie’s glass from her hand. “Shit, friend. You look as if you’re seeing a ghost.”

“Not a ghost. Two ghosts.” Reenie grabbed Sally’s hand and pulled her toward the door. “We need to get out of here.”

Sally yanked her hand from Reenie’s. “No way, girl. This is getting interesting.”

If she couldn’t leave, could she hide under the table or behind Sally? Maybe if she acted like nothing weird, life altering, and utterly embarrassing was happening, she could get Sally to leave with her. “What do you mean?”

“First, those two hunks are staring at you like they want you on the menu tonight. Then you act as if your life is about to end, and now they look ready to beat each other up. Even if that doesn’t seem interesting to you, it sure as hell does to me.”

Keeping her eyes averted from the Barts, or whatever their names were since she couldn’t imagine any parent giving their twins the same name, she listened to Sally give a blow-by-blow description of how the men were now nose to nose, each pushing a finger into the other’s chest.

“They’re coming over here,” Sally whispered, sending Reenie into a panic.

Reenie took a step toward the back of the bar and the women’s bathroom.

Sally grabbed her elbow. “Not so fast. Something happened between you and those guys, and I expect to find out what.”

Before Reenie could think of a way to get out of here, the men stood before her—Bart one and Bart two. Now that they were side-by-side, she noticed the difference. Bart two, the one from Chicago had a tiny scar at the corner of his bottom lip, whereas, the other one didn’t. Chicago Bart and office Bart. Even though she was mortified to know she’d slept with them both, she was even more mortified when her system spiked to life.

It was wonderful having you with us today.  Please feel free to stop by anytime. Good Luck with Surprise, Surprise!
