When you started writing, did you have any idea you’d be writing BDSM/kinky books? Do you write in any other genre?
I did not consider BDSM/kinky books when I first started writing. I originally tried penning YA action-adventure novels. The first book I wrote, Tomorrow Cries (which is not published under Michele Zurlo,) was a vampire novel. It took me almost four years to write that epic story and then trim it down into a manageable tale. Unfortunately, it came out at the height of the Twilight frenzy. Bad timing on my part–especially because my heroine was powerful and strong-willed. I recently self-published the prequel to that novel, and I have plans to continue writing in that series. I’ll include the address to that website in the links below. After I wrote Tomorrow Cries, I read my first erotic romance novel, thought I could do a better job, and so I wrote Letting Go. My Awakenings series is my most popular series to date. It’s the one I get the most emails about. While I have vague plans to continue that series, I’m focusing on expanding my Safe Word: Oasis series and my BDSM romantic suspense series (which doesn’t have a name because I can’t think of one.) Mina’s Heart (Safe Word: Oasis #5) is out March 19 and Re/Paired (Keith and Katrina’s story) will be out April 30. 
Is there one area of BDSM that you tend to write about more? Why do you think that area creeps into your writing more than some others?
