Welcome to Michael's! Happy to see you here as I intro a new author to you today in a great interview.
Ashley Marie Lucas is one of my co-writers in the Tina B XOXO GLBT anthos 1 & 2 and we will be writing a book together soon.
She's featured today at Rawiyas as well with some info about her m/f story and I'm happy to have her here for a virtual sitdown.
* * * *
How long have you been writing?
Three months published. But all my life I have written.
What made you decide that you wanted to put yourself out there to publish?
Another author asked me to help them out and it just went from there.
.
Since you write, m/m, m/f, do you find it difficult to switch back and forth?
No I believe love has no boundaries. The characters tell me what they are.
Your first published book?
Revenge is best served hot in Tina B Anthology Vol 1
I’m of the opinion that erotica doesn’t have to be real all the time to make a good story, what are your thoughts?
You need the story to feel real to the reader as they are reading it. I think books are an escape but you still need the reader to believe what you are writing.
What are you working on now?
How I got my Pet Zombie it is a comedy PI story.
When creating your characters, do you have models in mind or are they totally fictional?
I just write they form themselves
If you write gay romance or erotica, just how descriptive are your in their sex scenes?
Semi Graphic. I like to walk the fine line.
Recently, a writer sabotaged her career by answering a bad review on a blog. How would you have handled this and do you think authors should answer their reviews?
I have yet to be reviewed but I can say honestly it is their thoughts at the time they read my book, I respect that.
Fun questions pick at least 3
Do you feel that celebs who are gay or bi should come out the closet?
I think it is their choice. I do not think anyone should be forced. Respect the privacy in this area.
For the men in your books, commando or underwear?
Hmm depends on personality, But I can tell you Jamie is commando.
Favorite character in one of your books?
Phoebe she was strong loving and fun to write. If not a little pushy too!
