Q&A with Erin Everleigh

Another of my Sexy in the City authors joins us this week! Please welcome the lovely Erin Everleigh!

*****

Were you good at English?

English was actually my weakest subject in school. I was more of a math/science student. My “real” job is in the medical sciences.

 

So, what have you written?

I released my first novel in January of 2015 – Absolute Love. It is a story about love, devotion and family. There is a mixture of sexiness and suspense, with twists and unexpected turns that will keep you on our toes. This book also uses dreams to help convey the raw and uncensored emotions of the main character. You will delve into her mind and follow her on journey of self-discovery. I did a lot of research for this aspect of the book and learned some pretty amazing things about how our minds dream. The forward of the book is written by Dream Expert Lauri Loewenberg.

I released the follow-up novella to Absolute Love, titled Love’s Sacrifice in December of 2015. This novella can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone. It is a story about what happens when the one you are meant to love isn’t the one you are meant to be with.

What are you working on at the minute?

I have 3 young daughters ages 8, 8 and 10. They ask me daily to read the books I have published – and every time I have to explain that the books are not appropriate for them. So, we have decided to write a book together. It is very early in the works, but is something I am very excited about.

 

How much research do you do?

I try to write about things I don’t need much research for, which is why you can find aspects of my own life in my books – I hardly have time to write as it is. In Absolute Love, Phoebe (heroine) shares the same profession as I do (my real job) and her husband, Justin, shares the same profession as my husband—see no research needed. But in aspects of my books where I do need to do research, I take my time, you want to make sure you know what you are talking about, and not say anything that is not correct.

 

When did you decide to become a writer?

I didn’t really sit down one day and decide to be a writer. My actual profession is on the opposite side of the spectrum. I had a story in my head that wouldn’t go away, so I started writing it down – in the notes section of my iPhone. It took me close to 2 years to write Absolute Love. I stopped many times – it was a scar undertaking for me. I’ve published 2 books now, but I still don’t consider myself “a writer”, more someone who writes.

Why do you write?

I write because I love it. It gives me a huge rush. I love escaping into the world I created. At this point, it’s not even a choice or a conscience decision, I just do it.

What made you decide to sit down and actually start something?

Once the notes section of my iPhone began getting very crowded, I decided to open up my computer and take the plunge. I didn’t know where it was going to go, but I was curious to find out. BTW, I still have those original notes in my phone, I don’t think I’ll ever erase them.

Do you write full-time or part-time?

Officially I write part-time, but the stories are constantly developing in my mind – even at times when they shouldn’t be
