To unleash the stories in my head and let my readers’ dreams come true.

I must. Have to. To live and breathe.

Writing is therapy for me. As long as my characters keep talking to me, I’ll continue to write.

I love stories, and they keep talking to me until I get them down in print!

It’s the one thing in my life I’ve always received the greatest satisfaction from. Maybe it’s because I tend to be reclusive, or I’ve always been lost in my head – hard to say. But I can’t imagine living my life without crafting new stories and new worlds. It would be boring to me.

The characters won’t leave me alone until I tell their story. I start visualizing these people I’ve never met in different scenarios, and it doesn’t stop until I write it down.

Sexy Six Authors Q&A #7:What do you consider most important in a novel – literary value or story?

This post would be the continuation of Q&A session with the Sexy Six team and in case you’ve missed the 6th 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

What do you consider most important in a novel – literary value or story?

The story. Always the story.

STORY…hands down and I am an Pro editor too, so that will tell you how important this answer is.

I’d have to say the story. If you have a good story, then you HAVE literary value – verdad ?

Story is everything. Most people read for entertainment, and escape!

The story, without hesitation. I’m not here to flex my literary muscles, I want to entertain.

Sandy Wolters

In my humble opinion, the story should be uppermost. The reader needs to be engaged with the characters in order to care about them. If my books do that, the literary value for that reader is reached and that’s all that is really important to me.

Sexy Six Authors Q&A #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?

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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

Sexy Six Authors Q&A #5: There was recently a message on ‘Books and Writers’ saying ‘please stop giving your books away’. What do you feel about this?

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

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?

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

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

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.

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…

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.

Sexy Six Authors Q&A #4: When did you decide to become a writer?

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

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 #4

When did you decide to become a writer?

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.

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