K.S. Hello and welcome to the blog. I am very excited to have you here. Why don’t we start off with a small introduction? Tell us a little about yourself.
Hello Katie. Thank you for having me. I am a mother of two adult children as well as a pre-teen. I have a very busy schedule, having a blast learning about publishing and marketing my books. I started writing these short explicit erotic stories for friends about 15 years ago and they encouraged me to publish them. I just dabbled in writing, I got a lot of feedback about others loving them but I didn’t think too much about it because I thought they were just really being nice. I stopped writing them for several years and one day found them and started writing them again for fun. It has been an exciting adventure, meeting some wonderful people along the way.
K.S. Any interesting writing quirks or stories you would like to share with my readers?
I get inspiration from unusual places. I can walk into a store for instance and write a whole story in just a few brief moments in my mind. I can look at a couple and imagine whole scenes rather they are happy, angry and fighting with each other, being loving toward each other, or just notice how people noticing others as they walk by them. I love to write stories like that.
K.S. When did you realize you wanted to be a writer? What sparked the desire to pen your first novel?
I have written most of my life, short stories, poems, journaling basically whatever comes to mind and so on. I have loved to tell stories from the time I was a young child. I met an Indie writer that inspired me to put my collection of erotic stories together to make a book and self-publish them late last year.
K.S. What genre do you write?
Explicit adult erotica.
K.S. What would you say has inspired you most in your writing career? Or, who is your favorite author and why?
The person who inspired me most in my career is Martin Sharlow. He is a rapidly climbing, well known Indie author. I have read his books and loved them all. He gave me some good advice and I followed it and now have several of my own books written to show for it.
K.S. What does your family think of your writing?
Well they seem to think it is cool, although no one reads my stories in my family except my step-brother who doesn’t mind the content. They think it is really cool that I am doing something that I really enjoy doing and are supportive. They love to tease me about the content and do their best to make me blush. It isn’t an easy thing to do, but they do accomplish it from time to time.
K.S. What was one of the most surprising things you learned while creating your book?
It takes a lot more work and time then I thought it would. In my Time Well Spent series, most of the stories were written years ago and I just had to fine-tune them and put them together. Seems like a simple matter but there is a lot more to it than just throwing some stories together, upload them and go. I have been most surprised at my being able to slowly learn computer skills that I had no desire to know in the past. Might be slow going but it is just another learning process and I am enjoying it.
K.S. What inspired you to write your novel?
I had a collection of erotic stories I wrote for friends as I have said before. When I met Martin Sharlow, he encouraged me to put them together into a collection of stories and sell them. I didn’t think it would hurt anything and I might make a few dollars in the meantime. I have sold a few and I enjoy writing them, especially when people let me know how much they enjoy them. I am glad that I listened to good advice and took a chance. It is amazing to know that there are people out there who are reading the words that I have written, and enjoying them.
K.S. Can you tell us a little about your novel?
