This post would be the continuation of Q&A session with the Sexy Six team and in case you’ve missed the 5th one, here is the link to it.

It’s a pleasure to interview the six sexy authors from the Sexy Six team. A warm welcome to our blog and we hope that you’ve enjoyed the interview session with us.

We’ve asked them a few questions and the answers for each question from all six of them will be published as a series. Let’s check out question #6

If you could be transported into one of your stories as a character, would you or would you stay as far away from it as possible?  

Chris Lange 

No way I’d live the life of any of my characters. Their wild adventures are passionate but also too dangerous for a quiet person like me.

Leanore Elliott

No….I would jump in and live that life like a dammed rockstar ! lol

Jennifer Theriot

I’d LOVE to be transported into one of my stories – HELL yes !

Maggie Nash

This is showing my kinky side, but I’d like to be a character in Kinky Bet.. In fact the heroine…Erica.  Who wouldn’t want to end up with a sexy Irishman fulfilling all of your fantasies

Morticia Knight

If I could go to the 1920’s in either my Gin & Jazz or Hampton Road Club novels, I’d be there in a heartbeat. But I’d have to be a guy, so it would also need to be a gender transport !

Sandy Wolters

Yes, I would be happy to be transported into my books! It is my goal that readers get lost in the pages of my books and enjoy themselves enough to feel they are no longer reading, but living in the stories and falling in love with the characters.

We’ve asked them a few questions and the answers for each question from all six of them will be published as a series. Let’s check out question #5

There was recently a message on ‘Books and Writers’ saying ‘please stop giving your books away’. What do you feel about this?

Chris Lange 

Authors create their books. Giving them away or not is their choice.

Leanore Elliott

Well, I have officialy given away 35,000 books, so EEK….LMAO !

Jennifer Theriot

While you want to make money from the sale of your books, there is a certain amount of ‘Goodwill’, that is necessary to market a product – any product. So I’d have to disagree. I give my books away all the time and will continue to do so – within reason, of course.

Maggie Nash

The theory is hat you generate an audience this way, but in reality I haven’t noticed it.  There is a core group of people out there who never pay for books, but don’t necessarily even review the free books.   It’s a bit disheartening when you spend months on the writing, editing and production of a book, give it away in a competition or for a review, and then you get little back.  So I am now I. Agreement with their message…

Morticia Knight

Everyone has so many different takes on this. I believe in giving out free samples – this is a tried and true marketing technique. I also believe that if you’re writing a series, offering the first book either for free or greatly discounted is a good way to entice new readers who might not give you a second glance otherwise.

It’s important for authors to understand that there’s a gazillion books out there. Even with a track record, it can be difficult to be seen or heard through all the white noise. I think of free stories as the cost of doing business. I will say however, that a clear strategy should be employed. Only certain titles should ever be free with the occasional sale for a specific reason on others. But they should all be limited time offerings so as not to water down your own sales. Equate your book selling strategy to how established brands sell their products.

Sandy Wolters

I would never be presumptuous enough to tell another author how to promote their books. My books are priced very reasonably, so they are never listed anywhere for free.  I do, however, participate in giveaways and have been known to gift my books to people.  I also give my books to service men and women at no charge.

When did you decide to become a writer? 

Chris Lange 

I read my first real book at the age of five and I wrote my first short story when I was a teenager. After college, life happened so I stopped writing for a lot of years. But I’m back now.

Leanore Elliott

In 2006. After writing on my (Great American) Novel for 10 years… I finally started to try and get published.

Jennifer Theriot

After reading Fifty Shades, my girlfriends and I met for drinks and dinner and we had a long discussion about the book. Our conversation led to romance between middle aged women and it kind of evolved from there. They put the dare out there and my mind started swirling with character ideas.
Maggie Nash

About 15 years ago I ran out of books…started writing my first book…and I haven’t stopped!
Morticia Knight

Very young, but it became an actual serious decision when I was twelve. The kids all thought I was crazy because all I cared about was scribbling away in my notebooks. When they finally asked me to read my stories out loud to them, it all changed. Then they’d bug me about writing new chapters so they could find out what happened next !
Sandy Wolters

I started writing paranormal romance relatively late in life. I was fifty-years old when I published my first book.
