The Secrets of Dreams: Interview with author, Lisa Fox & Giveaway

Welcome, Lisa to Mark of the Stars. It is a pleasure to have you here today. I first read your work through Six Sentence Sunday, and still enjoy your excerpts and the hot pictures you post every week. Can you tell us about your recent release?

LF: Thanks! I try to make my blog a happy place of hotness for everyone that visits.

My recent release is The Secrets of Dreams, a short story about a lonely woman, a magic book and twin demigods of legend.

What inspired you to write The Secrets of Dreams?

LF: I've been wanting to do a M/F/M story for a while now and I love Halloween. Combining the two seemed like a brilliant idea. Lol!

For those who don't know, can you explain the significance of the Samhain and how it relates to The Secrets of Dreams?

LF: Samhain is a very important witches' holiday, a night to honor the dead. It is also the only night that a certain spell in an ancient grimoire will work.

Did you have to do any research for this story?

[image error]LF: I wish I could say I found myself a set of twin gods and did tons of research, but sadly that wouldn't be true.

Can you tell us more about twin demigods Calen and Rist?

LF: They are entirely fabricated mythological demigods of dreams.

When it comes to erotic romance, do you have a clear idea of what's going to happen before you write the story, or do you let the characters tell their story as you go?

LF: I never know where the story is going when I sit down to write which is a lot of the reason why it takes me so damn long to finish anything. The characters always dictate their own story.

What it your favorite paranormal being?

LF: A difficult question. Right now, I'd have to go with angels, both of fallen and heavenly variety.

Who are your favorite authors?

LF: Stephen King, Joe Hill, Margaret Atwood, Haruki Murakami

I've read many of your short stories and your novella and loved them all. Do you find short stories easier or harder to write than a novel or novella?

LF: Thanks! I'm incredibly flattered and thrilled that you liked them. I've found that length has little bearing on the ease or difficulty of writing a story. I tend to write shorter for now because I'm still finding my voice and groove in erotica and romance, but I have plans to tackle a full-length novel very soon. I don't think it will be any more difficult that writing a novella, just more time consuming.

[image error]I know you are a huge Hugh Jackman fan, but is Wolverine your favorite super hero?

LF: I think I like Batman the most actually. All that darkness and angst and fortitude is very sexy. And he has the best villains.

If you could be any superhero, who would you be?

LF: I don't know that I would want to be a superhero honestly. Seems like it would be a lot of work.

Thank you so much for being here today, Lisa! I really enjoyed reading The Secrets of Dreams, and I hope my readers will, too.

LF: Thanks for having me over Jessica! This was a super-fun interview!
