MB's INTERVIEW
Our day romance literature becomes hotter and hotter. What differentiates the romance from erotic romance? What makes your writing different from all the other romance authors?
I think erotic romance tends to be a bit more edgy than the your typical romance, at least in my writing I find this to be true. In my opinion, an erotic romance falls somewhere between romance and erotica—incorporating the best of both worlds. But contrary to erotica, I think a good erotic romance should have more of a story line and build up with some sex, and erotica tends to have more sex than romance and often more hardcore sex than the erotic romance.
What are the three things to avoid in an erotic romance?
For me, I try to stick to vanilla sex, and avoid any hardcore sex or BDSM. I try not to overload with too much sex, and I try to keep the characters relatable and likeable. So I guess you could say I try to avoid sex overload, unrealistic characters, and sex that is just too erotic.
You were phone sex operator and bartender. Did you find out why erotica romance genre is read?
I spent six miserable hours as a phone sex operator and eighteen long years as a bartender. One thing I have learned for both of those experiences is that people want to be teased; we all love the build up and the chase. If a writer can incorporate that into his or her writing, they are surely going to build a loyal following of readers.
This novella takes place over the course of an evening where Shay is taken out on the town by socialite, McKenzie. They go to a club and to an after-hour’s party, and at both places the music plays a very crucial role in setting the tone of the atmosphere. I tried to incorporate music that one would hear in a club or at an after-hour’s party, and listening to the playlist while I wrote helped me write the scenes where Shay was actually ‘feeling’ the music. It definitely helped me add imagery to the story.
Why a short story?
This is book 1 of a series. In the 2nd book, Shay’s morals are challenged even further, and the reader will be able to watch Shay change and evolve over the course of the series; however, I didn’t want to leave the typical cliffhanger at the end of book 1. Instead, I ended it in a way where the reader would feel satisfied even if he or she never moved on to read the rest of the series. I want readers to be interested in what comes next for Shay, but I wanted to be careful not to leave the reader frustrated while waiting for book 2, which by the way will be released in May!
