Emma, thank you for taking time out to talk to us. We are so
exited to finally talk to you.
For those who don't know much about you, can you tell us a
little bit about yourself.
What made you choice to write erotic books?
I joke that doing this was the
only way I could parlay my favorite pastimes into a career.
We love BE - I think you would know that by now. Is there a real
life BE is your life?
No, BE is just the
ultimate man…the perfect combination of sexy, sweet, and an alpha in bed. He knows how to love and does it deeply.
Jen asks, Is there going to be a book 3 of the sinful series -
but based on Jolie?
There
is a plan for a Jolie book. I’m not
ready to do that yet. I am trying to
have another tour for the release of the combo book: Sin at Sea and Vixen in
Vegas. Then I’ll write Jolie’s story.
When can we expect the next book from you?
I’m looking at
publishing The Misterer in October. It’s
already on Goodreads with an intentionally vague description that I will be
updating in the near future.
Is there a message in the sinful series that you want readers to
grasp?
I think the Sinful
Series is about growing up, learning how to make the tough choices, staying
when everything screams run, that the heart is more resilient than one would
imagine.
Can we expect more books from you out of the sinful set?
Really…the series is over after Jolie’s
story.
Are
the names of the characters in your novels important?
They are to me. For me, I had the title of Sin at Sea before
I had the characters named, so I needed a play on words…hence the name
Alysin. Jolie means pretty in French. And I held a contest where BE was named by
the readers.
If you could go on a cruise anywhere, where would you want to
go?
Hmmm. I love the idea of a Mediterranean
cruise…Greece, Italy, France, and Spain.
Have you ever been to Vegas?
Never been to
Vegas. After hearing the stories of the
Naughty Mafia Event there…not sure I’m ready for it.
What place in the world are you most eager to visit and why?
Eager to visit. Maybe Costa Rica. I would love to go watch the turtles hatch
and see the whales go through. Costa
Rica is rich with wildlife. I long for a
simpler lifestyle.
Would you call yourself a Vixen?
No, but I have been
called a naughty little minx.
If you had 24 hours with BE what would you do?
Wear him out! I’d want all the sexy bits and the boring
bits, too, just like he wanted from Sin.
Which of the girls would you prefer to spend 24 hours with?
Jolie strikes me as
more of a follower. I think we would get
into less trouble and get along better than Sin and I would. Our strong personalities would no doubt clash.
What was the hardest part of writing your book?
Finding the
time. I have the best betas ever. I have authors I can call and brainstorm
with. Really…it’s the uninterrupted time
that is most challenging.
Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?
For me, this book
was about finding a balance between depth and steam. I am pleased with the result.
Describe in 5 words, your writing:
Steamy, Fun, Witty,
Emotional, Surprising
Who designed your book covers?
I work with JB McGee of Indie Pixel Studios.
What book are you reading now?
I’m beta reading
Skipping Stones by JB McGee at the moment.
We are a close knit bunch.
Do you have a nickname?
Alas,
no.
What are your pet peeves?
Whining. I don’t have time for it. I’m a chick of action.
Do you ever write naked?
No, but that would
make for an interesting story.
Do you write by hand or straight onto a laptop/ computer?
Straight into the
laptop. Sometimes I make notes on paper.
What are the most important attributes to remaining sane as a
writer?
Patience. Not every book will receive the same
enthusiasm. Ingenuity. Willingness to try new things. Serious marketing skills.
Do you listen to music while you’re writing or reading?
I can’t. I love music. It’s too much of a distraction. I’d be singing along instead of working.
Can you tell us one of your favourite quotes from Sin a Sea ?
The opening lines of Sin at Sea:
“I am a runner. Not an actual runner, like with shoes and sweat. Instead, I specialize in leaving uncomfortable situations with alarming speed. Some people need closure, I need space.”
What about Vixen in vegas?
“I want the possibility of forever wrapped in a hundred million moments. I want us.”
Have you ever read or seen yourself as a character in a book or a movie?
I really connected with Under the Tuscan Sun and The Notebook.
If you where trapped on a island with a man, what 5 things would you take with you?
Depends on the man. Regardless, I’d never last anywhere without chocolate, a good book, a notebook and pen, and lip gloss.
When your were a child what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a writer, or a librarian. One way or another…it was going to be books.
