Ella Jade has been writing for as long as she can remember. As a child, she often had a notebook and pen with her and now as an adult, the laptop is never far. The plots and dialog have always played out in her head, but she never knew what to do with them. That all changed when she discovered the eBooks industry. She started penning novels at a rapid pace and now she can't be stopped.Ella resides in New Jersey with her husband and two young boys. When she's not chasing after her kids, she's busy writing, attending PTO meetings, kickboxing and scrapbooking. She hope's you'll get lost in her words.

Experience or Imagination?
When I tell friends, family or people who ask what I do for a living that I'm an author of erotic fiction they often seem surprised. They're always like, "Really? You write what?" The biggest question I'm asked about my chosen profession is…
Do I write from personal experience?
I'd love to say YES! My sex life is just as hot as the pages in my books. Lol I'm not saying I'm a prude or my husband is lacking anything. But I will say, I just don't have that much time in my life for that much research.
I'm a stay-at-home mom most days, a full-time writer, V.P. of the PTO and I substitute teach a few times a month. I'm a busy girl, so when it comes time to write those steamy scenes I rely heavily on my imagination. Several of my books contain BDSM themes but I don't participate in that lifestyle so I have no firsthand knowledge. I do as much research as I can but when it comes time for me to develop characters and set up the plot I just write what I define as sexy or appropriate for that particular scene. I want to stimulate the reader and have them get lost in my words. When I'm writing, I want to forget about reality for a few hours and indulge in fantasy.
Obviously, romance plays a huge part in all of my books. I like to create strapping, sexy and dominant heroes but they also have to be flawed. Character growth and redemption are always present in my novels. A good friend once told me, "Not everyone is all good, or all bad." I use those words to develop strong characters that can grow, accept change and be emotionally invested in their partners. Once I develop my characters and establish their emotional connection the rest is easy and steamy and sexy and erotic…
At the end of the day, I guess I can say I write from personal experience. Maybe not in the way most think an erotic author should, but experience none the less. I observe life, people, emotions, relationships and love. And maybe on occasion I might say to my husband, "Wanna try chapter three tonight?" ;)

ReplyDeleteI love that the biggest question you're asked is if you write from personal experience. Like you have the time. Maybe they have the time for that or they're just jealous. This book sounds fantastic. Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteBook sounds great Can't wait to read
ReplyDeleteYou mean you're not at home eating bon bons in your designer clothes. No pool boy? :) Great insight into your writing. I will ask my hubby if he wants to recreate a scene that I have read. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. :)

Sounds really good! Thanks for the excerpt and the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine for a busy person like you, but still your imagination runs well.Actually, to write erotic romance like BDSM if we never experience it then we have to do the research to know the style or the tools. But, still we can get the idea from some movies.
ReplyDeleteUsually books go the other way and the guy ends up with two instead of one...I like that this one is different. Not that I don't enjoy the other books too!
ReplyDeleteI want to read this book. It look interesting and hot cover book make me want read more!! LOL!!
