Tuesdays with Taryn
Siobhan MacKenzie
What book(s) most
influenced you as a writer?
I loved reading the works of Sidney Sheldon, Erica Jong, and
Jacqueline Susan. Such raw sensuality – books like Valley of the Dolls and Fear
of Flying really resonated with me. I love stories that aren’t afraid to
push the sexual bounds – Fifty Shades of
Grey, Masters at Arms are two of my current favorites.
What book do you read
over and over again?
Actually, the “book” I read over and over is a series – the
Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. I love historical fiction/romance and this
series is absolutely brilliant.
Tuesday Trio-
1) Movie- Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor,
Richard Burton, and Rex Harrison
2)
Music-
The Moody Blues (great music for romance)
3)
Decadent
Dessert- a really good chocolate torte with lots of whipped cream and hot
fudge
What’s the most
interesting or bizarre bit of trivia you’ve learned from researching for a
novel?
When I was researching for Her Scottish Exile, as well as His
Man Friday, I wanted to know about the male orgasm, what it felt like and
the sensations of it. So much is made of the female orgasm but no one ever
discusses the orgasm from the male viewpoint. I found a couple of message
boards where someone had asked that very question, and the answers that men
gave were fascinating to me. They all said the same thing, to the effect that
the male orgasm is that perfect zen moment {Tweet This} for them. Which is what I wrote in
the particular chapter of Her Scottish
Exile and in the section between Rick and Dave in His Man Friday.

Whom would you cast
as your Main Characters/Hero/Heroine if your book became a movie?
I’m gonna go with Zac Efron for Dave Johnson – he’s got that
innocent vibe going on and yet, he is a lot smarter than many give him credit
for being. Yeah, he’d make a great Dave. I could totally see Justin Timberlake
playing J. R. “Rick” Rickman – he’s got that street smart playboy vibe
happening. He’d be perfect.
