Jordan Ashley asked Marata Eros:

How much research do you do when writing a book? How much thought goes into each scene and plot?

Marata Eros Hi Jordan,

Those are insightful questions :) Most of my work is fantasy-based, so I take creative license on many things, lol. When it comes to weaponry, I do research that. Basically, on the more mundane things, I write what I know.

Regarding "ease" of writing, scenes which involve sex and violence come easily, as does dialog. Descriptive scenes are the most challenging to write. Depending on the book (this is my pen name), some books are more heavily researched. THE PEARL SAVAGE was the most researched book I've written to date. A TERRIBLE LOVE; I used my decade-long experience in ballet for part of the plot (writing what you know), so in answer to your question, I mainly write, and do a little research. I don't go too much beyond my experience set so that I might lend authenticity to the work, if that makes sense.

Thank you for your questions!

Marata
