Lol. More releases is good. I'm already looking forward to Broken Boundaries next year. I've added it to my calendar of book releases So far, that calendar covers up to the middle of 2009. You can't say I'm not intense about "looking forward" to a book :-D. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure yours is the most original hobby of all people in your workplace :D. I'd love my future boyfriend (I'm currently single) to love reading too. It would be easier for him to understand why having time to read is so important for me :-D.Mary M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03726644215852180932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-6452227321172048702008-07-05T20:59:00.000-07:002008-07-05T20:59:00.000-07:00What a great interview!

I dont know why I'm like that. Wish I could finish what I start even half the time but darn it, I am just not that way an I don't think that's going to change any time soon.<BR/>No, I don't think my hubby will visit the island. If he did, I'd have to wonder about him. His taste in books runs more toward sports biographies and espionage thrillers. THe important thing is that we both like to read. I don't think I could love and respect a man who didn't.<BR/>And yes, most people at my work know that I am a writer and a lot of them know what I write. I don't shove it down anybody's throat, tho. They think of it as my hobby and until recently when the baby came along, so did I. No I am taking steps to make it more of a career so you're going to see more frequent releases from me in the coming months. I have been a busy bee. lol EEvangeline Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856359219992964679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-12670088327508104632008-07-05T19:50:00.000-07:002008-07-05T19:50:00.000-07:00What a great interview!

It's a near miss - I was shopping on the site earlier when all my internet windows closed at the same time, AGAIN (grrrrr!!!). Slave Boy comes out on the *8th* ? Great! I thought it was the 18th :-D. But I want to buy something from Anne and Barbara too, since they're the ones I got the certificate from and I wanted to try their stuff anyway. And there are those two Amanda Young stories I forgot to put in my cart the last time, something I've regretted ever since...*sighs and checks bank account balance*Mary M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03726644215852180932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-23107883826976922052008-07-05T17:25:00.000-07:002008-07-05T17:25:00.000-07:00Hi MaryI will but the ARC will only be available t...Hi Mary<BR/><BR/>I will but the ARC will only be available the day before the book drops (that's my understanding) so you can pick up a copy on July 8th.

And I'm so, so happy to see I'm not the only one wh abandons projects halfway through because I lose interest!! I'm like that for pretty much everything - if I want or need to do something, if I don't do it NOW, most of the time I never will. I have tons of fanfic ideas that never saw the light of day, and translations I started doing for my mom almost two years ago that are still not done (and it's not for lack of time). *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Loooool at the fact you'd rather write a sex scene than perform one :-DDD. Since you volunterred to answer it when it wasn't asked I'm guessing you're not too afraid your husband is going to find out about it, or be too upset if he does :-D. At least I hope so. I'm sure no one at the DIK would want your dream trip to the island to get you in trouble :-D. <BR/><BR/>If I may, one question: do people at your job know what you write about? What do they think of it? Just curious :)<BR/><BR/>Wave, you'll tell me when you read the Slave Boy ARC, right? Pretty please?Mary M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03726644215852180932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-39282345316935260682008-07-05T16:32:00.000-07:002008-07-05T16:32:00.000-07:00Hey Wave, I promise to get an ARC of Slave Boy int...Hey Wave,<BR/> I promise to get an ARC of Slave Boy into your hot little hands just as soon as I get my author copies from LI. And as for being prolific, I guess I just write fast. I edit as I go and don't use any beta readers and the first draft is what I turn in but that's just me. Now the down side of that is that I only finish about 1 in 10 books that I start. I tend to get bored *very* quickly and if a book isn't pushing my buttons and I have another good idea, I will kick it to the curb and go do something else. Sometimes I will get as far as 50 or 60K into a book and then lose interest and be unable to make myself finish. I call myself all kinds of names and wish I was one of those authors that could stick with a project better but I'm just not. So I have to write fast because if I don't, the book will die on me and I'll have to move on to the next thing.<BR/>EEvangeline Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856359219992964679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-87373130290799114322008-07-05T16:28:00.000-07:002008-07-05T16:28:00.000-07:00lesleyw--Ya know, it cracks me up that so many peo...lesleyw--Ya know, it cracks me up that so many people compare Valenti and O'Brian to Butch and V. I mean, when I first read the BDB books, I didn't make the connection myself. I continue to think that its just because both relationships are between alpha males. I am flattered, of course, because I am a huge JR Ward fan myself but I don't know if I can think of my two guys as Butch and V. Anyway though, I hope you enjoy the book. It was tons of fun to write. : ) EEvangeline Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856359219992964679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-31152286345001137612008-07-05T16:26:00.000-07:002008-07-05T16:26:00.000-07:00little alys, katie reus, thanks for the invite to ...little alys, katie reus, thanks for the invite to come to the DIK island again.

I had submitted a novel to EC but they hadn't gotten back to me. So I wrote about half of another novel and submitted it to Liquid Silver. About a week later I got this excited e-mail saying they wanted to see the whole novel. (I had pretended that it was finished at the time of submission.) Sooooo, I actually finished the novel, which was called Tandem Unit, in a single day. Of course, I already knew what was going to happen and how to get the characters there but still, I wrote 36K in one 24hr period and then turned it in. It got picked up and Liquid Silver loved it. Coincendentally (sp?) that is also the book that was picked up in print by my editor Hilary at Kensington. She changed the name to Take Two and slapped a horrible cover on it and there you go. It's a sci-fi menage novel about two guys who have to share a woman because of a chip they have implanted in their brains, in case you're wondering. I have never written that much in one day before or since but I know it can be done if I have to. lol EEvangeline Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856359219992964679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-37821818787895704332008-07-05T16:18:00.000-07:002008-07-05T16:18:00.000-07:00Hey Sari, A lot of getting published in print is ...Hey Sari,<BR/> A lot of getting published in print is being at the right place at the right time. I happened to find out from a close friend (MIchele Bardsley who writes the Vampire Mom series for Penguin Putnam) that Kensington was starting up a new erotica line. So I sent a query letter and was told to send in some books for consideration. OUt of that I got a three book deal with Kensington for their Aphrodisia line and a NY agent. SO some of it is luck and some is just keeping your eyes open.<BR/>Hope that helps.<BR/>EEvangeline Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856359219992964679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-51081527909245704052008-07-05T14:37:00.000-07:002008-07-05T14:37:00.000-07:00Hi EvangelineWhat amazes me about you is that afte...Hi Evangeline<BR/>What amazes me about you is that after only 4 years in the industry you have published 30+ books for so many publishers.
