Shahirah Adnan asked Eloisa James:

Hai Eloisa. By just reading one book written by you I already fallen in love with how you write. I want to ask, Have you ever feel bored while writing a novel? if yes, how do you overcome it?

Eloisa James Hi there Nur! What a lovely compliment -- thank you! I don't get bored, but the flip side of that is that some readers get annoyed because I change styles so often, basically with every new set of books. For the Georgian books (Desperate Duchesses), for example, I went for a witty, dramatic style. With the fairy tale rewritings, I tried for a more fairy-tale like atmosphere, thinking about big questions (What is Beauty in the Ugly Duchess). That's what keeps me from being bored!
