INTERVIEWING AUTHORS...

A.D. Ellis; Author of the up-coming novel "For Nicky"!!!

A.D. Ellis

Q: What are you working on?

A: I'm very close to publishing my first novel title For Nicky. It's a contemporary new adult romance. I've also started work on my second book. It's about the sister in For Nicky. It's titled Because of Beckett. I hope to have it out before the end of the year! I have a whole list of book ideas on my computer. They range from children's books to funny things I've heard/said as a teacher to more romance ideas.

Q: How does your work differ from others of the same genre?

A: Well, I'm not sure since there are SO many authors in the romance genre. I will say that For Nicky is definitely not erotica. I'm not against erotica, it's just not what I wrote this time around. For Nicky is a love story. Love between brothers. Lost love in a family. Love of others. Romantic love. There is sex, but readers are going to have to invest in the love story and all of the twists and turns that come with it to get to the sex.

Q: Why do you write what you do?

A: For Nicky came about because of a couple reasons. One, I've read some terrible books and I felt challenged to do better than those. Two, I spent about a year watching a brother care for his special needs sibling during church services and it started this story brewing in my head. Three, I'm a sucker for a good love story and wanted to share with readers.

Q: How does your writing process work?

A: My writing process is a work in progress! This book, For Nicky, started out as 20,000 words! It's now 70,000+. As it was my first endeavor in writing novel length stories, I found that I needed more of a "plan" when I started out. It's really come together nicely now, but it was rough to start. After taking what I've learned in writing For Nicky, I now make a plan of what's going to happen in the story before I start writing. Things may change as the story progresses and the characters develop, but having a plan is a life saver for me.

TEASER:
For Nicky by A.D. Ellis

Due out April 30, 2014

Elizabeth Decker views herself as shy, totally average, and pretty much insignificant. She’s

nothing special, at least not compared to her little sister, Audrey. Elizabeth is content with her plain

and lonely future; she’s too insecure to contemplate a relationship thanks to her sister. Audrey is a

bombshell and uses this to get what she wants. She’s a girl who will stop at nothing to control anyone

and everything around her. She craves power and doesn’t care if she has to hurt Elizabeth to get it.

Nathaniel Morgan has spent his whole life fighting for his twin brother, Nicholas. Somewhere

along the way, he lost himself. Now he’s just getting by. He’s devoted to his family, but emotionally

detached from the women he burns through like wildfire. He has no plans of getting into something as

complicated and committed as a “relationship”.

Nicholas Morgan has placed the new librarian, Miss Elizabeth, on a pedestal and is begging her

to meet his twin brother, Nathaniel. Elizabeth and Nathaniel agree to meet, for Nicky. Both are caught

off-guard when unexpected sparks fly between them. This was not in their plans. Will Nathaniel and

Elizabeth be able to escape a past that still plagues them? Or, will the past, suspicions, and insecurities

come between them one too many times?

**This is a contemporary new adult romance. It should be read by 18+ only due to language, sexual

situations, date rape, and drugs.
