#Interview With Elisabeth Joye!! :-)

Hey Everyone!! :-)

Elisabeth Joye is joining us today to tell us about her debut erotic romance novel, Invisible Ink! :-)  Elisabeth, can you tell us about yourself and how many books you have written?

Elisabeth:  I used to write about Congress. Now, I write about sex. I am a former political journalist and I have wanted to write a romance novel since I was 12. I finally found the inspiration to do it by incorporating my love of concerts and musicians. Invisible Ink is my first self-published novella and it has been in the works since December 2013, when it started as a now-defunct Tumblr blog.  When I'm not writing, I'm a stay-at-home mom to a four-year-old son. I also love fangirling my favorite celebrities and reading true crime obsessively. I live in the Midwest with my husband and family.

Me:  Cool!  What inspired Invisible Ink?

Elisabeth:  Invisible Ink is my novella (36,000 words). It's a fast, sexy read and was inspired by my life-long love of music and concerts. One day I attended a meet and greet with my favorite band and started imagining a fantasy around it. I decided to write it down and couldn't stop the story after that.

Me:  Ha! I think many authors have experienced something similar when it comes to our writing. ;-) What are you working on now?

Elizabeth:  I'm mostly just working on getting my name out there with this first book and then we shall see what happens. I have a lot of other ideas and some word documents just sitting on my computer with four sentences in them.

Me:  Best of luck with the marketing! :-) For those who might consider reading your book, what would you tell them to expect?

Elisabeth:  I try to write what I think is hot and I just hope others will, too.  My book is structured a little bit differently than other erotic romance, and it has a LOT of sex. My rule is that if it doesn't turn me on, it doesn't make it into the book. I also try to make the relationships in the book real, which means there is some cheating and some of the things the characters do aren't "perfect." The story is a bit dark.

Me: Dark and steamy, sounds great! ;-)  What is your favorite part of being an author?

Elisabeth:  Living out a fantasy life through writing and connecting with people who enjoy my stuff.

Me:  Yes, imaginary friends are fun to hang with! :-)   Do you have a day job as well?

Elisabeth:  I'm a mom to a wonderful little boy.

Me: Congratulations!  What are the hardest and easiest parts about being a writer?

Elisabeth:  The hardest part so far is the self-promotion work and, of course, getting rejected by publishers. The easiest part is actually writing the scenes. That's the fun part.

Me:  I think most authors would agree with you. ;-)  What genre do you place your book in?

Elisabeth:  Erotic Romance.

Me:  Great!  Is there anything else you'd like to tell your readers?

Elisabeth:  If you like other rock star romances, please read my novella! It will take you no time at all and you will love it.

Me:  Sounds fun!  Are there any links you'd like me to post?
