Author of the Month for February-

Author SK

Tell us about you.

First of all, thank you to Readers in Motion for choosing me as February's writer of the month! It's an honor and I appreciate it very much! My name is SK and I'm a wife and mother of one son. I was born and raised in Louisiana (the Who Dat state – Geaux Saints!) . I lived in Japan for about six years, which is where my son was born. I also lived in several other states throughout the years, including, New Mexico and Utah, before eventually moving back home.

When and why did you begin writing?

I began writing in 2010. As is true with the majority of writers, I've always been an avid reader. While growing up, I loved to escape to whatever worlds writing carried me to. I have to thank my mother for indulging my obsession because I remember many days I would bug her endlessly to take me to the library until she finally relented to get some peace. Once I walked out with an arm full of books, I would be happy and content! Several years ago, I found a site that a friend told me about and was drawn to the section where amateur writers could post their stories and have readers comment on them. I'd always thought about writing a book, but for the longest time, that's all it was – a thought. I finally garnered the courage to put a story up online and the response was great from the beginning. I wrote under the name sweetkaramel, which my readers eventually shortened to SK, and so it began.

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

My genre as of now is erotic romance, but I plan on branching out to other genre's as well, mainly paranormal – with a twist!  I write the types of books I love to read, so I think that's why writing erotica comes easy. The books I enjoy reading and writing have to include a storyline, though. It can't be only sex, sex, sex. After a while that gets a little boring to me, and it has to have a touch of real life. What I write is never outrageously over the top. Readers can relate to the books and actually see themselves doing or saying certain things like my characters – or maybe what they wish they could do or say sometimes! As with anything, I do a lot a research! LOL It can be challenging to keep a reader’s attention, especially when it comes to sex scenes. Again, it has to be realistic, but hot and erotic! Anything can spark the imagination. We just have to keep our eyes open, pay attention, and let our imaginations soar!

What are your current projects?

Right now, I just finished the third installment in a series I'm writing. The series is Sin City Heat. The books go as follows: Buried Secrets (Book 1), Twisted Obsessions (Book 2), Beginning of an Eclipse (Prequel), and No Secrets No Lies (Book 3). All can be found in the form of ebooks on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The series started off as just a simple story but it grew from there and took on a life of its own. My next project is a collaboration with authors Kr Bankston and Elizabeth LaShaun, and I'm very excited about that! These two ladies are true stars in the lit game. We're still working out the details, but the way our styles mesh and complement each other’s, it's a guaranteed best seller. Be looking out for more information soon!

 Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

I want to thank everyone who has supported me from day one. This game is not an easy one, but I think you have to actually love the craft of writing and that will come through in your work. I along with everyone else strive to reach the top of the literary world, but the love I’ve received from readers has touched my heart more than anything. I'm still fairly new to writing, and to see that so many people enjoy my work, actually look forward to reading it, is simply humbling for me, so I thank the readers from the bottom of my heart! As long as they want to read it, I'll write it!
