Speaking of our awesomesauce members: Q&A time:
1- Avril Shafer Stepowski
What do you find the most difficult when writing?
Sarah:
When I first started writing and decided to go with science fiction romance
because that was what I loved to read, I didn’t think about how hard it would
be to create entire new worlds from scratch.
I was really paranoid about world building and the dreaded ‘info dump’.
I knew how irritated I got myself as a reader when you start a book and then
lose interest when it begins to sound like an alien geography textbook. I was
terrified of readers getting bored while I tried to set the scene, which is why
my earlier stories are so short. As I’ve gotten more comfortable in my genre I
hope that I’ve learned how to be more organic when creating new worlds and
species, but I think one of the most difficult things as a writer is keeping
the “this isn’t any good” devil on your shoulder from piping up and stalling
your muse. It’s such a jerk.
Maia: There are a couple of things for me. Finding the time to write can be a real
bastard. As with the others, I work full
time, have two kids under 7, a husband who is tolerant, but needs to be shown a
little Maia loving *wink wink* on occasion and then I have my reading too. My TBR list has gotten real big since I
started writing. The other thing are my
characters, and in particular the ones whose stories I have yet to tell. I feel like Ode Mae Brown from Ghost at
night, sometimes as my characters try to get my attention. They aren’t singing Henry the 8th
though thankfully ;-)
Elena:
Sometimes distractions break my concentration and then I lose my train of
thought, like for instances other stories are screaming in my head and I have
to jot them down so I don’t forget. I
just have too many things going on in my brain sometimes.
2- Amy
Herman-Pall I know the three of you are
collaborating on the story you're sharing with us. Is it hard to write with
someone else? If you could choose any other author in the world to write with,
past, present, or future, who would it be?
Sarah: I
was shocked actually how easy it was to write with Elena and Maia, we do have
pretty different styles so I expected to have a bit more trouble blending them
together. The most difficult part is the time-zone differences. ;-) If I had to
pick any other author in the world to write with, I think I would pick Anne
Rice. She really was the first author to spark my fascination with the
paranormal when I was in school, I love the inclusion of history, fact and
lore, in what she writes. She never ceases to peak my curiosity.
Maia: Not difficult at all! We do have different writing styles, but they
seem to blend really nicely and the fact that we have taken a POV each helps to
give each character their own distinct personality. LOL I agree with Sarah about the time zones,
they need to move a little closer hehe.
I would love to collaborate with Nalini Singh or Sophie Oak, ooo oo or
Heather Rainer. That would be too cool.
Elena:
I was shocked as well about how easy it was to write with them. Maia and Sarah are both very talented
writers. I am a fan. J
We sort of fed off each other and the story started to take shape. And of course we have to thank our Street
Teamers for the topics we are working on.
I find that I am really loving this story and it needs to be told. If I could collaborate with Jane Austin from
beyond the grave, that would be a dream come true.
3- Dawn Martin-Smith
How did you meet and what made you decide to
collaborate?
Sarah: Elena posted looking for other authors to see who would be
interested in starting a street team group, and after debating whether it would
make me look like a newbie idiot of not, finally commented asking “what’s a
street team?”, then I believe Maia chimed in asking the same and we’ve never
looked back! (that’s what I remember as the first meeting, did we meet before
that?)
Elena: I am pretty sure I interacted with you both at some point, but I
am so happy the three of us came together.
Our personalities, though different are very complimentary and I am even
happier to call Sarah and Maia my friends.
Feeling mushy! If had to face
aliens, evil shifters and vamps, I’d want those two to have my back.
Maia: I think we may have interacted during an event, but it wasn’t
until Elena reached out looking for people to start a street team that the
three of us truly connected. And we
haven’t looked back since!
4- Amy
Herman-Pall What is the one sex scene you
yourselves have written that you'd like to try?
Sarah:
Oooo, I’d be all over some menage action.
Maia: If I could clone my hubby then yep – totally
into a little ménage loving!
Elena:
All of them of course, but probably my fun with food scene from Three made In
Heaven.
5- Avril Shafer Stepowski
How old were you when you decided to take the
writing plunge?
Sarah:
35
Maia:
Shhhh…39. Only started in January this
year – late bloomer ;-)
Elena:
Since I learned how to write, that’s all I ever wanted to do.
Sarah:
I’d love to delve into the BDSM world, but I’m a little on the OCD side and
would need to do a lot of research first. Ideally experience it for myself
first.
Maia: MM. I
would really love to write an MM series.
The MMF I am about to release in a couple of weeks was the hottest sex
scenes I have ever written! My editor
had this to say: “Sex scenes were hot city. The detail was vivid and sizzled on
the page. Really, really good.” I have
plans for an MM series with four books in it, and what is keeping me from it is
just finding the time J
Elena:
I’d like to write children’s books one day as well. I love writing erotic romance, so I will have
to find a balance for it somewhere down the line.
7- Amy
Herman-Pall What's your writing process? Do you
plot everything out before you start? Do you start with an idea and then let
your characters tell you where you're going from there?
Sarah:
I’m a fly by the seat of my pants kind of writer, I usually wait for a story to
begin unfolding in my mind and then just write as it comes to me.
Maia: I’m crap!
I’m a wing it and see kinda girl.
I tried for the last three books to be organized and started out
planning the book on a spread sheet, and had it all worked out – then wrote
something completely different!
Elena:
For me it’s a combination. An idea
sparks and I immediately have to write it down and then I keep adding to it as
I get more and more of the story. I
don’t actually sit down to write it until I have a good direction of where it’s
going. Many times the directions will
change as I write and characters take over.
I even get surprised along the way.
8- Julie
Ayling Where do you find your inspiration for
your characters in your writing?
Sarah:
Sometimes it’s hard to know where the inspiration comes from for characters. It
could be a photo, or a fantasy, or even just one phrase that sparks an entire
personality around it.
Maia:
A lot of my characters have personality traits of people I have met. And what could potentially be an example of
my own insanity, my characters are real to me, and as I write they are
whispering in my ear. I get their
personality and characteristics directly from them as well.
Elena:
A lot of my stories have come from dreams.
Seriously, my brain never shuts off.
I could be dreaming about something that doesn’t make much sense, but
when I wake up from the dream, bits and pieces of it have formed an entire
novel. I have several outlines lined up
and ready to be written from these instances.
My first published novel, Three Made In Heaven was born this way.
9- John Tucker What's been the most shocking thing you've put in a
book???
Sarah:
Shocking according to who? ;-) My writing style tends to lean towards graphic,
so I imagine my first book being a MFMMMMM was a shock to most of my friends
and family. LOL.
Maia: Nothing in my books has shocked me so far,
and probably my readers would say the same thing. Perhaps the fact that I wrote a prophecy in
my Shifters of Freedom Springs series that rhymed would probably shock the hell
out of my old English teacher! Not to
mention the Pagan spells and rituals I made up for books three and four of that
series.
Elena:
I agree with Sarah about the according to who part. We are erotic romance writers. I write a lot of ménage, which I guess is
shocking for people who don’t read the genre.
Maybe because I love reading it so much that nothing I write is really
shocking to me. I just want to continue thinking up more hot ways to write a love scene. ;)
10- Julie
Ayling Have you ever secretly written someone
into a book to get a little revenge on?
Sarah:….not
yet.
Maia: Hadn’t thought of that…. hmmmm
Elena: I wanted to.
There was an ex-boyfriend I thought about writing in, where he falls
overboard on a cruise and gets eaten by sharks, but nah, I didn’t.
And now for some questions for our fabulous host, John Tucker:
1-
John, you are such an amazing host.
You run your events like a well oiled machine. Can you tell us a little about your very
first hosting experience and what made you decide you wanted to throw your wild
and crazy events?
My first big event was called 'Dreams, Fantasies, Nightmares, and
Visions and included several author friends over 5 days. Like with all my
events I created a planning room to get all our ducks in a row. The party
itself only had one hiccup but ran extremely well. Since all the authors
reported many new followers, page likes, and book purchases, I decided to keep
busy creating new events. While the last 4 events have been confined to
Erotica, I'm looking to include more genres in the future.
2-
What would you like to see/do in one of your events that has not yet
been done?
I'd like to see Facebook ignore any complaints about nudity in a
'Private' Erotca event and allow my authors and attendees to celebrate the
human body! There are limits of course,
but classy pictures of beautiful people should not be censored
3-
You are not just a host, you are also an erotica writer. When and why did you choose to start writing
this genre?
I wrote my first erotica – Twelve Doors to Ecstasy – as a bet with a
fellow author. Surprisingly, at least to me, it became my bestselling effort.
Since then I've published 2 more – Two Days to Passion and Vergene
(Revenge.Twisted) and I'm currently working on a paranormal romance.
4-
Can you tell us a little about you current release/wip?
Violetta's Voyeur is a paranormal romance with a mysterious man
interacting with a sexually hot woman who has a cold mentality about
relationships.
5-
Do you have any kinks/fetishes?
Me??!! I'm pretty vanilla when it comes to sex but, with the right woman,
wouldn't hesitate to explore my boundaries. I do like role-playing where some
of my latent kinkiness does come out at times.
6- Do you have any particular things you need before you start to write?
Gotta have peace and quiet, hard candies and Dr. Pepper.
7-
If you had to choose one male super hero and one female super hero to
have a menage with, who would it be and why?
Nice Question!! I've always been enamored with the Scarlet Witch of the
Avengers group. The male would be anyone the lady wants.
8-
What type of story would you like to tell that you haven’t written yet?
Coincidentally, I had a dream last night about a man thrust into a
strange situation. It has several cultural elements, plenty of drama, and
should be an unrelenting view of forced contrition. I can't wait to start it.
9-
Build your ideal woman using five female celebrities.
Hmmmmm. I'll have to use professionals for this question, rather than
celebrities. (Porn Stars). Head –
Abigail Johnson. Torso – Ava Addams.
Trunk – Remy LaCroix. Legs – Staci Silverstone. Attitude/Temperament –
Chastity Lynn.
10-
Which male celebrities would you love to have a bromance with?
As I've stated in the past Ryan Reynolds and I've added Nathan Fillion.
11-
What is your next big hosting event?
Damn, That's Hot Erotica 4 is definitely scheduled for January. I'm
also working with Elle Klass on a Thriller/Mystery Event for Nov/Dec.

Author Bio:
Maia
Dylan lives, loves and works in beautiful New
Zealand. She married her best friend
and they have two adorable, but stubborn children who obviously take after
their father.
Maia’s
career has featured a lot of travel, and she has filled her time at airports
and in the air with books, books and more books. Her love of erotic
paranormal romance has seen her amass a huge library. She has been an
avid reader and lover of ménage romances since she read her first book in this
genre about three years ago.
In
January of this year, Maia submitted her first ever manuscript to Siren
Publishing. She wasn’t at all confident that it would be accepted and in
fact she was expecting a nicely worded email with a resounding no! Much
to her surprise less than two weeks later she had an acceptance and a signed
contract in hand. Since then she hasn’t looked back and currently has
three books in her Grey River
series set for publication.
Outside
of writing, Maia loves to eat, so she loves to cook! Her herb garden is
legendary, but she still has issues getting tomatoes to grow. She’s been
a performer for years, and has even sung on international stages, she would
love to own a classic Ford Mustang one day and of course have the opportunity
to race it on a race track without fear of a speeding ticket.
Although
ultimately her dream is to be able to write full time on a sandy beach with a
Mai Tai at hand, she is quite happy to fit her writing in when she can.
As long as someone reads her books, gets a laugh and maybe come to love her
characters and much as she does, then she feels that she is living her dreams
no matter what!

Latest release" Blessed with an Angel:
Blurb:
Angel
Navarez came to Grey River looking for a
better life for her and her son, but she hadn’t counted on having to fight a
man looking for revenge to live it.
Noah
and Chris Carson both recognized Angel as their Fated mate the moment they
met. But Noah firmly believed that his past actions made it impossible
for him to have a future, so he left fully expecting his brother to find
happiness with their mate without him.
But
that changes when Angel is threatened and Noah drops everything to be there to
protect her. Chris convinces Noah that he’s worthy of their dream, but he
can’t fight for their future if he continued to fight his past. They must
work together to earn back Angels trust and convince her that they can be the
mates she deserves.
Just
when their dream is within their grasp, the past catches up with them and the
threat becomes very, very real.

passion.
Blind me with
longing.
Break me with
need.
Bind me with
love
Sally Owens was content to spend her life
hiding in plain sight, as long as no one got too close or tried to wrestle the
reigns away from her that is…
When she goes out for a night on the town
to troll for the new Mr. Right Now, getting kidnapped and shipped out into
space was NOT what she had in mind. But above all else Sally is a survivor and
she soon comes up with a plan to thrive in this new world.
Arkenon Quinn, Courtesan Guild Master on
the planet of Sirus, is informed that one of the new human refugees wants to
join the Courtesan Guild and he was of course curious. However, when he meets
the audacious and beautiful Sally he finds himself signing up to be the one to
mentor her against his better judgement. What he could never have anticipated
was how quickly this fascinating creature would steal his heart and force him
to do something he’s never had to do before- chase a female.
Will Sally’s painful past keep her from
finding a future with the man who’s like no other she’s ever met? Or will she
have the strength to place her body and soul in Arkenon’s extremely capable
hands?
