QUESTION: What inspired you to write your debut novel?
Dania Voss said:
Born in Rome, Italy and settled in the Chicagoland area, I became a romance junkie in my teens. After decades of voracious reading and dreaming of one day writing my own romance novel, I decided to stop dreaming and take a chance on myself. In November of 2017 I participated in NaNoWriMo for the first time, completing the challenge with over 75,000 written words. Those words became my first erotic romance novel On the Ropes, the prequel in my Windy City Nights series.
My original idea was to create two fictional towns near Dallas, Envy and Rapture and include all the elements that I’ve enjoyed reading over the years – MF and ménage pairings, BDSM clubs, shifters, cowboys and military men. I created an entire cast of characters – human and shifter – that I fell in love with. I was nervous that since I was just starting out as a novelist that I wouldn’t be able to do them justice. They felt like real people to me.
I chose to start right where I am – in the Chicagoland area, what I’m calling the Windy City Nights series. From a little personal tidbit of information a friend shared with me, I developed a new set of characters who I love just as much and you’ll meet in On the Ropes, and they will interact with my Texas crew before I head there myself to write their stories.
