My vampires are a little trickier so I’m not sure. Daniel from Sated has always been Daniel Henney and Keira has always been Trinity Fatu of WWE fame. Kinky nerds for everyone! Kayla has always been Danielle Brooks from Orange Is the New Black. Rebekah: I think SO SWEET or my Vampire Sorority Sisters would be the most watchable. If one of your books can be a movie, which one would you choose and why? Rebekah: I have a queer sci-fi YA romance brewing. I had to figure out what kind of girl she was, top to bottom, and look at how the world would see her, being super in shape and gorgeous, but also being a HUGE sci fi nerd, and how she sees herself.ĭo you have any specific genre or tropes that you haven’t done but would like to try someday? She also already worked the gym with Grant and Armando. So with Keira in Sated I wanted to write a black geek girl. Rebekah: I usually come up with what kind of story I want to tell first. How do you pick and craft your heroines? I really love that they are different from one and another, but all are awesome. They are the worst nightmare of every misogynistic, racist, and homophobe assholes. They are not afraid to embrace their sexuality. While you have queer vampire ladies of color, sex worker mc, heroine that has a sugar daddy. There was a heroine trend before where only “good girls” who are sexually clueless could be deserving of love and respect.
So why not put all of that into a romance.
They also deserve healthy love and respect. Rebekah: I’m a walking intersection (queer, black, fat, dealing with ADHD and depression) so for me that’s just how I see the world. How vital it is for those intersections to be shown in the text? I also noticed that they are always sex positive and very feminist.
It doesn’t have to be same-sex pairing to count as a queer representation. Most of your books have QPOC, several of them have f/f endgame while some are f/m. SO FOR REAL was the hardest to write because Michael and Kayla were so in love and I had just been dumped. Violet and Grant just flowed and I had the most fun with them in terms of the process of getting the words on the page. I would have to say FIT because it was the easiest for me to write. They are all memorable for different reasons.
She talks about her latest series Beards and Bondage, representation for QPOC, publishing advice, writing, and upcoming books.Įvery book is different as most authors would say and you’ve penned several, from your oldest Vampire Sorority Sisters to your latest Beards and Bondage, which one is the most memorable experience for you? This week Rebekah is kind enough to join us for an interview. She’s well known for her erotic swoony books starring queer multicultural cast. Rebekah Weatherspoon is the award-winning author of series Vampire Sorority Sisters, Fit Trilogy, and several standalone novels such as At Her Feet and Treasure.
