Menage Author, Ava Stewart talks about 2 for 1.

Today, we have a the saucy author, Ava Stewart with us.  She is the author of Two for One, a steamy short read in the M/F/M genre.

1. What inspires you to write?

What initially inspired me to write was wanting a following who enjoyed reading my stories. I followed quite a few authors, especially when I first started reading, and I remember wanting readers like that, ones that couldn’t wait to read my next story.

2. Tell us about your latest release?

My latest release was Two For One, which is a saucy read about one woman and two men. Angela hasn’t seen Jake in some time, and when she finally visits him again, she sees how much he has bulked up, and his roommate is no less attractive.

3. Where do you get your ideas?

I get most of my ideas from my own daydreams and fantasies. Some people wonder whether I write based off of my past experiences, but mostly they are of my fantasy would-be future if I was that daring.

4. Do you outline or free flow your stories?

Since they are short stories, they are short enough not to need an outline, at least in my experience. I’m the type to need an outline for longer works, such as a novella or novel, though.

5. What is absolutely a no go for you in terms of sexual content?

The best answer for that concerns topics that are banned from e-book marketplaces, such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble’s, Kobo, etc. If they won’t sell it, then I won’t write it. One day I would like to have my own online store, but until then, I have to abide by the rules. Other than that, I don’t write about anything illegal. I like to push the envelope, but not get too extreme.

6. Which scenes are the hardest to write?

That’s a good question. I suppose I would say the build up, so about the middle or just shy. Sexual tension is very important in an erotica short story, so I’m always careful to get it as well as I can.

7. How many hours a day do you spend writing, promoting and making new fans?

It’s hard to say, as it does vary. I also balance writing blog content across several websites and I have a demanding day job, so my effort is limited to quite part-time hours. I’d like to say that it’s around fifteen hours a week doing one of the above activities. In the future, I would like to write full time.

8. Are some of the details in your books from real-life situations?

Some of them, although usually it has only trace elements of my personal history. I’d like to thank I wasn’t any more sexually active than the next girl, but what I have always loved doing is fantasizing, and that’s where my stories come in.

9. What books do you enjoy reading?

I read fairly widely, anything from romance to erotica to fantasy. I try to dip my toe into lots of pools.

10. What is your current project?  

My current project is writing a story about two women who work in a library who have only one more night to realize their desires for each other. When the lights turn off after hours, who knows what’ll happen!

Thanks Ava for sharing your insights, and look forward to reading your next project. Remember readers to leave a review when you finish your book. We Indie Authors appreciate it greatly.
