Well guys today iv got a very special guest here at SBC, her Name is Eden Summers. I'm not going to go on and on, I'm going hand you right to Eden so she can tell you a bit about her self.
Eden Summers.
I live in regional New South Wales, Australia with my two highly energetic sons and a husband I don't deserve (in a good way). I've been an avid romance reader for years, falling in love with fictional hero's left, right and center. It wasn't until early 2011 that I decided to add to my pastime of reading and reviewing and take my own writing seriously.
I joined the Australian Romance Writers Association.
The hunky men and sassy women who dominate my daydreams are now being put to paper, eagerly awaiting their moment in the limelight.
Hopefully one day in the near future I will have something hot and sweet published and available to share with the world.
INTERVIEW!!
1, Welcome to Satins Booksih Corner, could we please start off with you letting my followers know a little bit about you.
Thanks for having me! Ok...about me. I’m an Aussie mum with two young boys (3 and 6) and happily married most of the time. I’m an avid romance reader, review blogger at Riverina Romantics and also work part-time for a electrical appliance distributor.
2, So I was just wondering if there were any Books/Authors that influenced your writing, made you think wow, this is what I wanna do....
Many authors have made an impact on my writing journey. There are the ones I love to read, for example – Julie James, Larissa Ione, G.A Aiken. And there are also the ones who are so damn good that I think to myself ‘I will never ever be that awesome’ like – J.R. Ward, Gena Showalter, Cindy Gerard, Kresley Cole... Both lists go on forever. The more I read, the more I learn and grow.
I want to be able to give people that heart fluttering feeling. You know the one you get after reading the perfect romance, or the most dramatic scene.
3, I know most of us have days where our brains don’t work right, some more then others *cough* *me* *cough.*
And I’m sure it’s the same for you sometimes, so do you ever experience writer’s block, and what do you do to pull yourself out of it....
Oh, hell yeah. Lately it feels like I get writers block every time the wind changes. Most of my blocks come from confidence. One minute my story will be perfection and then my emotions take a dive. But I’m very lucky to have a great support network. When I’m on a downer I have the great support of not only my editor and CP’s but family and friends. They are always there to tell me how much they love my work and to help me sort the story issues out. I’m blessed to have such a great crew.
4, now all my sexy ladies would love to know more about your book.. has this book been as popular as you had hope. how did you come up with the idea for this.
I’ve been blown away by the success of Sneaking a Peek. I didn’t expect more than a few sales to be honest, but that has been far from the case. And the reviews!! Boy. I can’t believe all the lovely reviews. Yet again – another thing to be thankful for. I didn’t expect to have fans tweet me, or contact me on Facebook to tell me how much the loved the story, but they have and it makes me a little teary.
And here is a little bit of info on Sneaking a Peek
She's either headed for jail...or for the best sex of her life.
Tarney Jensen has been crushing on sexy firefighter Ethan Reid, her best friend’s brother, since her sixteenth birthday. She knows acting on her attraction will ruin their friendship, but she can’t fight the temptation of his sweat-slicked skin as he works out. Every hot-blooded woman loves to drool over a sexy piece of man flesh, but watching one from the shadows of your porch when he has no idea you’re spying on him? Totally illegal.
For years Ethan has watched men go in and out of Tarney’s life, but how’s a guy supposed to put the moves on his kid sister’s best friend without looking like a perv? But when Tarney lets out an ear-piercing scream from her front yard, Ethan drops everything to rush to her aid. And finds out that the woman of his dreams has been sneaking a peek at his workouts…

5, Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Writing is a constant challenge for me and I think it always will be – that’s why I love it so much. There is always so much more to learn and remember.
There are the little things like word repetitions. I always try to be aware of what I’m using a lot of. Then there are the clichés and knowing the popular tropes. Keeping up with the descriptions and character information so it is consistent throughout the story...the list is huge. And I am always learning. Then there is promo and dealing with unkind reviews. Writing is a HUGE challenge – all round. And I love it.
6, I'm going to ask you this, because my ladies love to know the answer to this one, who is your favourite book guy and why. it can be out of your book or out of any other..
OK I'm going to ask you a random question because I'm a random kinda person. what have you got in your fridge Right now. lol.
I’ll give you one of each. My favourite book guy from one of my stories would be Dean from Concealed Desire. He’s my sexy playboy and his novel will be released in February 2013. He is such a honey. Sexy, cocky, arrogant but he has a huge heart – and an even bigger crush on his co-worker. I’m super excited about the release of my first novel!!
Hmm...now a favourite from another author... Gees there are so many. All Cindy Gerard’s hero’s REALLY crank my chain – they are a perfect mix of masculinity and growl yumminess. Ohh and I couldn’t narrow down Kresley Coles Immortals, or Gena Showalter’s Lords either (although I do fantasise about Reyes...A LOT) and then there’s the Black Dagger Brotherhood which is just a smorgasbord of spank bank material. There are way too many.
7,Is there anything you would like to say to your fans/readers and anyone who is wanting to give your books a try?
To my fans and the readers that have taken the time to send me their kind words – Thank you! There aren’t a lot of authors out there who are entirely confident with what they do. I think most of us are a mix of 50% excitement and 50% crapping out dacks at every book release. So receiving kind words to validate the stories we’ve poured our hearts into is a huge thing for us. Hearing from fans means so much for authors. You may not think your email or tweet or Facebook posts means much, but they does. They really does.
And to those who are willing to give my stories a try - I am truly thankful to you also. There is huge amount of extremely talented authors out there and even more books that should be read. So knowing that someone is taking a chance on me gives me the warm and fuzzies.
8, Id like to thank you for taking the time to talk with us, is there anything you would like my followers to know that we haven't all ready talked about.
Thanks again for having me. I appreciate you hosting me today.
