The gals on Amanda’s street team wanted to get to know her on a more personal level. The questions the ladies posed were too juicy to keep to ourselves, so we decided to share all of Amanda’s dark secrets with you…her favorite readers!!! #FreakyFriday
Q: What has inspired you to write erotic romance?
A: Sex and it’s fun!
Q: What other authors do you enjoy to read when not writing your own novels?
A: I really like reading hot, nasty, sizzling hot erotica. Not romantic erotica, just spank me, fuck me, suck me, no lovin’, just fucking erotica!! (Can I say that here?) Selena Kitt comes to mind!
Q: Have you ever considered writing a dark romance?
A: Nope! I probably wouldn’t do very well with it, because I don’t like to read it—I am way too sensitive.
Q: Are any of your scenes based on real life experiences?
A: Haha! I’ll never tell!
Q: Who are your muses?
A: Ah, the ol’ muse question…I have no idea. My kids and my honey are my inspirations.
Q: If any of your novels were adapted to film, which would be most deserving?
A: Fueled Obsession! I think it would be a great movie! Suspense, love, sex, Sports, tragedy, romance! It has every emotion you could ever want.
Q: Who would play the lead characters?
A: Mollie would be a beautiful Jennifer Lawrence. Jack??? Who else but Adam Levine? Duh!!!
Q: What is your writing process?
A: I think of a really simple plot. Then I add characters. What they look like, how they act, where they work, play, party. I make a setting for the book. Then I go on Pinterest and look up really hot men. Well….really hot pics of Adam Levine! I find a pic I like for the MC and the Hero, and then I make up a character sheet. Then I plot scene by scene. Takes forever!
After I plot out as much as I can…I start writing. I write a scene at a time, until the book is done, then I go back and do a first edit, change what needs to be changed and send it to the editor. By the time I have a plot, I already have an idea for a title and a cover.
Q: What is the one piece of food you could NEVER give up?
A: Pizza! No…no, uhm…A big ol’ fat Cheeseburger!! Or steak and potatoes…Yummmm!! Imma Country girl at heart! And I eat like one! 😉
Q: If for some reason you could never write another story, would you feel like you accomplished everything you set out to accomplish and be happy with what you did accomplish?
A: No honey, I dream big. Real big!
Q: If you weren’t writing erotica, what genre would you write instead?
A: Romance! I am a full blown pussy when it comes to suspense or drama. I can’t do suspense! Other genres have too much suspense! Mystery, Drama, Tragedy’s, Sci-Fi. It’s all way to suspenseful! I like the HEA of romance and the scorching heat of erotica.
Q: What is the one thing in the world that matters the most to you?
A: My kids. All five of them—or was that six?
Q: Name something you do (i.e.: watch, eat, do, wear, etc) that always seems kiddish but no matter how old you are always seems like something you just can’t help but do, even if it’s in secret?
A: Shhhh….it’s a secret!
I am 69 years young and was married 40 year s before my Italian died!!! I live the memories I have with him thru your books!! Keep up the good work!!!
Love You!!
Dorothy from Kansas but California now
Aww, thanks for that Dorothy! You really made my day that you like my books, and you know what they say… we’re never too old for hot men! Well, that’s what I say anyway, lol!
Love you too!
