Day 12 of the 12 Days of Christmas

 Vivien Sparx

I have written romance stories since I was a teenager and more recently I have focused my writing on erotic romance. One of the things I pride myself on is being able to tell an erotic story without ever using profane or graphic language; it's just the way I like my stories to be.

Author Interview

Do you have any advice for other writers?

My best advice for people who want to write is to work incredibly hard on developing a unique and interesting plot. With erotic romance it may seem that every story has already been told. This is not true! The true test of whether you have it in you to be a writer is whether you can approach the genre with a fresh voice and fresh ideas. 'The Billionaire's Temptress' on the surface appears to be one story when in fact on the final page readers discover something totally unexpected. Adding a twist to an erotic romance story is just one way writers can set themselves apart in a crowded market.

What was the hardest part of writing your book?

Once I have the plot for the story firmly in mind the hardest part of every story I have ever written is starting. Those first words, that first paragraph, that first page are horrible, it is critical to capture and engage the reader from the very first words and so I spend a lot of time trying to craft my openings in a way that engages the reader and invites them to take the journey I have planned for them.

 

Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?

I think all of my heroines contain little parts of me. It may be in the way they speak, the way they react or the strength of their feelings but each of them contains elements of the real Vivien Sparx. In many cases they are the people I would like to be. Writing erotic romance gives me the chance to create stories that are larger than life and yet each one has its basis on real live people and how they would react in extra ordinary situations.

 

If you had to do it all over again would you change anything in your books?

Looking back now at 'Her Master's Voice' (my first story) through to 'Her Master's Kiss 3' (my last story) I can certainly see subtle signs of evolution in the way I describe and present characters. However, I wouldn't change anything that I have written. What I would change is the title for 'The Billionaire's Temptress'. I don't know why I went with that title but it is something I regret now. I regard 'The Billionaire's Temptress' as perhaps my best story - I only wish I had given it the kind of compelling title the story deserved.

 

Fav Christmas movie?

Die Hard - the original ( well, it was set at christmas!)

 

What are your current projects?

I have a really fantastic group of passionate Facebook friends, and one of the things I love most is that readers who visit my Facebook page are always enthusiastic and supportive. Reader feedback is absolutely critical and means I am always asking my Facebook friends what kind of stories they would like to read. At the moment I have two new stories in the planning stages as well as a lot of requests to write something erotic/ paranormal. Over the next few months readers can expect to see several new Vivien Sparx stories available to download from Amazon.
