A.D. Ellis; Author of the up-coming novel "For Nicky"!!!
A.D. Ellis
Q: What are you working on?
A: I'm very close to publishing my first novel title For Nicky. It's a contemporary new adult romance. I've also started work on my second book. It's about the sister in For Nicky. It's titled Because of Beckett. I hope to have it out before the end of the year! I have a whole list of book ideas on my computer. They range from children's books to funny things I've heard/said as a teacher to more romance ideas.
Q: How does your work differ from others of the same genre?
A: Well, I'm not sure since there are SO many authors in the romance genre. I will say that For Nicky is definitely not erotica. I'm not against erotica, it's just not what I wrote this time around. For Nicky is a love story. Love between brothers. Lost love in a family. Love of others. Romantic love. There is sex, but readers are going to have to invest in the love story and all of the twists and turns that come with it to get to the sex.
Q: Why do you write what you do?
A: For Nicky came about because of a couple reasons. One, I've read some terrible books and I felt challenged to do better than those. Two, I spent about a year watching a brother care for his special needs sibling during church services and it started this story brewing in my head. Three, I'm a sucker for a good love story and wanted to share with readers.
Q: How does your writing process work?
A: My writing process is a work in progress! This book, For Nicky, started out as 20,000 words! It's now 70,000+. As it was my first endeavor in writing novel length stories, I found that I needed more of a "plan" when I started out. It's really come together nicely now, but it was rough to start. After taking what I've learned in writing For Nicky, I now make a plan of what's going to happen in the story before I start writing. Things may change as the story progresses and the characters develop, but having a plan is a life saver for me.

TEASER:
For Nicky by A.D. Ellis
Due out April 30, 2014
Elizabeth Decker views herself as shy, totally average, and pretty much insignificant. She’s
nothing special, at least not compared to her little sister, Audrey. Elizabeth is content with her plain
and lonely future; she’s too insecure to contemplate a relationship thanks to her sister. Audrey is a
bombshell and uses this to get what she wants. She’s a girl who will stop at nothing to control anyone
and everything around her. She craves power and doesn’t care if she has to hurt Elizabeth to get it.
Nathaniel Morgan has spent his whole life fighting for his twin brother, Nicholas. Somewhere
along the way, he lost himself. Now he’s just getting by. He’s devoted to his family, but emotionally
detached from the women he burns through like wildfire. He has no plans of getting into something as
complicated and committed as a “relationship”.
Nicholas Morgan has placed the new librarian, Miss Elizabeth, on a pedestal and is begging her
to meet his twin brother, Nathaniel. Elizabeth and Nathaniel agree to meet, for Nicky. Both are caught
off-guard when unexpected sparks fly between them. This was not in their plans. Will Nathaniel and
Elizabeth be able to escape a past that still plagues them? Or, will the past, suspicions, and insecurities
come between them one too many times?
**This is a contemporary new adult romance. It should be read by 18+ only due to language, sexual
situations, date rape, and drugs.

INTERVIEWING AUTHORS!!!
Annie Edmonds; Author of Erotica series "Second Chance"
Annie Edmonds
Q: What are you working on?
A: I am currently working on my second erotic romance. Master Mike's story. Not really sure if that's what the title is yet, but since the series is Second Chance and my first book was Second Chances Sammy's story, I just might go with Master Mike's story.
I also write a couple blogs. The first is Sex w/Annie Let's Talk about Sex on WordPress.
This is where I try to help couples who have let their sex lives dwindle find a way to put the spice back into their relationships. I've been married for 28 yrs and I live with chronic pain. I figure if I can figure out a way to have a happy healthy sex life I should be able to help others.
The other is a authors group blog. Mine of course is the romance, and erotica section.
Yes I am one busy woman. Between the writing and social networking there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. But I love every minute of it. Being able to reach all kinds of people and hear about their lives makes it all worth it.
Q: How does your work differ from other's in your genre;
A: Take for instance Sammy's story; I could have chopped it in half or into thirds and gotten two or three books out of that one story.
I wanted my readers to be able to pick up one of my books read a few chapters before bed and the next day think about getting home and reading some more. I don't want them to be done with it in an hour and start looking for their next book. I am hoping by the time the reader get to the end of my book they can feel the emotions I felt while writing it. I think this is what all writers want. I just try and do it with one book instead of two.
Q: Why do you write what you do?
A: I write what I know. You see Augusta I got my second chance at love and life when I met my husband Mike at a New Year's Eve party. I was young widow. I had no idea what true love was until I found Mike or when he found me. I felt it almost instantly. That magic they talk about, and those butterfly's I still feel them after all these years.
My books are about getting that second chance at love and life. I am here to say that it can happen to you out there. That there is such a thing as love at first sight. I didn't have it but my husband did and he has told me many times that he was not going to stop looking until he found me again. He knew my story. And he was willing to take a chance on me. .
Those are the feelings I write with. I have the fairy tale where love is concerned. And I want others to feel it too. I want to give my readers hope.
Or give the reader who may not have had sex in awhile that warm tingle feeling you get when you're reading a good erotic romance.
I have a few women that have written to tell me that it was my book that put the spark back into their love lives. Now that right there is a great reason to keep writing. I am in love with my husband and I want to share some of my experience's. So I make sure there's a part of our love woven in with the stories I write.
Q: How does your writing process work?
A: I write at my dining room table which is actually in my living room. .
Everyone's lives keep moving while I'm typing away in my heavily padded chair
If there was a camera set up you would see that during the day everyone is coming and going while I'm in one place. Sometimes hours go by without me realizing.
I have my essentials; my notebooks, my pads and pens, my post its, computer and my stainless steel coffee mug. I start by writing out a short draft of what my main character is going to look like and where I want him/her to go.
Then I give them a love interest. From there I find a way to get these two characters together. I have no idea where it all comes from but I think I could write a love story about two scarecrows if I thought about it long enough.
For me research is so important. When I'm writing I make sure to do my homework especially where BDSM is concerned. I want to make sure I am as accurate as I can be in the kink department.
I sometimes give my hubby a treat and ask him to help with the research. You should see the smile he gets on his face. "Yes baby I want you to look up a real dungeon and a woman on a St. Andrews cross. Let me know when you find it". You would have thought I gave him a penthouse pet for a day. Men are so easy to please.
I don't want someone to read one of my books and decide to go into an erotic club and not know that the universal safe-word in the world of BDSM is Red. There are websites listed in the back of my books too. With one click readers can do their own research. My advice is to Just be careful if you decide to put some kink into your relationship. And if you don't trust your partner completely then don't try it. Also know that it's the submissive that has all the control.

BLOG TREAT!! Author Interview
G. D. OGAN!!
1) If you were beginning your writing career today what would you do differently? I would cut back on the "explicit togetherness" (sex) in my first novel as that seems to be a stumbling block for some who start reading the first of my three novels in my "Immortal Relations" series.
2) What's the one thing about you that might surprise the reader? Most people who meet me don't believe I'm in my 70s, they think I'm in my late 40s or early 50s.
3) Tell us a little about your main character in your latest book. Gary Logan is a retired military officer who travels to Prague in the Czech Republic to see the place where his late father had a picture taken. There he falls in love with a VERY UNIQUE LADY! ("Immortal Relations" pages 1-11)
4) What are some of your favorites; Color, Food, Place? Color - Red, Food - Anything Chocolate, Place - Taipei, Taiwan
