I also had the pleasure of interviewing Shayla for the 1,001 Dark Nights Series…here is snippet:
I adore your covers. Each series has a different feel, but are equally cohesive and series relative. What ones are your absolute favorites?
I don’t have a favorite of anything very often, and this is particularly true of covers. I have a lot of influence over the covers in each of my series. I love them all or I would send them back to be reworked until I did. I also feel strongly that the each cover should reflect the tone and content of the series. So Wicked Lovers covers tend to be modern, sensual, and romantic. Masters of Ménage makes the content of the books explicit, but with a tender presentation. Doms of Her Life conveys the intense longing and sexual connection of the characters. So everything expressed in all the covers is by design.
Social media is definitely a blessing and a curse these days…what is your favorite social media outlet and why?
I’m a Facebook girl. I post regularly on my page and love to hear from readers there. I do have a Twitter presence, but I haven’t exactly mastered saying everything I’d like in 140 characters, especially when I have excerpts to post. I haven’t dipped my toe into the other sites yet.
I know as a blogger, I get a kick out of seeing people’s reactions when I tell them the type of books I read…ménage, erotic, paranormal just to name a few of the “outside of the box” genres. What type of reactions have you gotten when you tell people who aren’t familiar with your work what you write?
The reactions I’ve encountered run the gamut. Some people are really interested, some are scandalized, some are surprised because I seem so “normal.” LOL! At the end of the day, I don’t really put too much stock in the opinions of strangers. If someone has questions and wants to talk about it, great. If not, that’s fine, too.

About 1,001 Dark Nights:
1001 Dark Nights is a collection of novellas that are breathtakingly sexy and magically romantic. Some are paranormal, some are erotic. Each and every one is compelling and page turning.
Inspired by the exotic tales of The Arabian Nights, 1001 Dark Nights features 12 New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors.
In the original, Scheherazade desperately attempts to entertain her husband, the King of Persia, with nightly stories so that he will postpone her execution.
In our versions, month after month, each of our fabulous authors puts a unique spin on the premise and creates a tale that a new Scheherazade tells long into the dark, dark night.
