~ Emery LaRue ~

This month we have a sit down with author Emery LaRue

Emery LaRue busted on the scene last year with the first in her series "The Portal, previously published through Silks Vault Publishing but currently published through Forbidden Publications. She has since earned the title author with joining in with the elite in the Spellfire Digest Series, Midnight Showcase, and with her latest, "Tavoli's Claiming which is book 2 of "The Portal Series. She is a very passionate yet, you can describe her as a very strong willed woman.

With her many titles out and others still coming she made a few transitions over this passed year. This has made her even more determined and I believe this is a woman who will get all she strives for and more! When you meet and speak with her, you can't help but feel you have known her all your life. She has a wonderful and bubbly personality and certainly one of will.

A mother of two, a boy and a girl, Emery keeps pretty busy, but always finds time for her reading and writing and bringing us all these hot, hot, hot fantasies!

Now I have to ask...is there a man that can tame her heart out here? Of course there is...and he will find her and I will get all the dish to share it with you! So Stay Tuned!

Author Interview Emery LaRue

Thank You Emery for joining us at Sensual Reads and Reviews today.

Thanks! I'm happy to be here.

Can you tell us a little about yourself?

Well, I'm a full time mom and when I'm not doing that I'm at this computer hoping to create the next fantasy fiction.

Who do you think was the greatest influence in your writing growing up?

With out a doubt, my grandfather. He was blessed with his knack for storytelling and was damn good to. I knew the minute I could understand him, I wanted to tell stories too.

Why was he such a great influence?

He was a special man with a gift. No matter what that day brought, he had his own special light. he shared it with us all, in life and in death.

You have children, have they showed interest in writing like you have, or are they into other things?

My son is already writing his own little books. He has the best imagination. Vampires, castles, dragons and knights all rolled into one. He will go along way if he chooses to chase it.

That is great! As we all grow and evolve, and our life takes us on different roads so to speak; you have recently went through a divorce and relocated, how do you think this has effected your writing?

I think it has made me more determined. I look at my past marriage as a learning experience. Not all men are up to the task of a determined woman. But I put all my love and desire into my other passion, my writing. I am a firm believer in love and fate and soul mates. He is out there, and I will find him. One day I will find him, and he will be the back ground for all of my fantasy. Until then, I live through my characters.

Where do you get your fantasy idea's?

I'm sitting in bed watching a movie, and this really hot hero comes on the screen. He has everything, but sharp canines or glowing eyes, or the right amount of sex appeal. Or, I'm driving through the historic areas of my state and something starts to take flight in my mind. So, simply pit, just about anything can get me going. Not to mention brainstorming with friends.
we

You can write some pretty sassy sex scenes, so I have to ask...is this from fantasy or experience?

YA know, in all honesty, I am a passion driven woman. If I can find the man who can keep up with me, I will love him for life. I have not had the best experience with love, but I'm still looking. When I find him, look out. Because we will set the world on fire.

So it's from experience and fantasy?

I guess you could say I like to mix it up. LOL...However, I can't kiss and tell to much. Need to leave a little to the imagination of others.

Your book, "The Portal" Forbidden Publications, is in the paranormal erotic romance, is this your favorite genre? Or is this just one of your many talents?

it is without a doubt my favorite. I love the thought of a dark and dangerous man. Someone who will bring out the wild side in us all.

Can you tell us here at Sensual Reads how did you come up with the idea's for your characters in "The Portal?

I love art. The works of Valejio and Bell, as well as Royo, made me see the beauty of the strong woman. Combine that with a little Clapton in the background for music, and you get a woman who can kick ass and ask questions later.

Are you this type of woman?

Well, I would say yes, and no. I do love the Art with a passion. The background music is a must but a mixture. As for the tuff stuff, LOL nah. I leave that to my heroines. But if needed I can get serious ...LOL

I bet you could! LOL LOL A wonderful read in itself, you prolonged it by bringing us the luscious, "Tavoli's Claiming" which is book two of the Portal Series. And you put a spin on it, by bringing out the bad guy and making us not only cheer for him...but made us pant for him too. What gave you the idea for this?

Well, hell, who don't want a bad boy to love? Tavoli is by far my favorite. He is wicked and hard, yet loving and caring. I wanted my friends and readers to see a side that is not always there. Tavoli found his woman, and was willing to face death itself to get her. I know I would want that.

I think we all would!

I'm still waiting for my Tavoli!


Will there be a book 3?

You bet. In book two your kind of left wondering, but you may be surprised at the newest in, The Portal series.

Can you tell us a bit about it? You know...just enough to wet our appetites.

Well, in book 3 I am introducing a surprise character. Someone you will not be expecting. Someone not even my characters are aware of. I'm having a blast with this one.

Yep that wet our appetites...bring out the bibs! lol You have been invited to join the spellfire digests, Midnight Showcase what has been your experience, in writing in a digest, with so many other authors?

I LOVE IT! Spellfire is amazing. I wish there was a town like it in life. And with each story it grows. Spellfire will be around for awhile with many twists and turns.

What have you learned from the experience?

That I can expand what I think is the usual because in Spellfire, nothing is usual.

We look forward to the many issues of Spellfire, that is for sure!

You have just turned in the transcript for your newest book, Relative Dreams. Can you tell us about this book?

Well, Elizabeth Bathory was a real woman in the 17th century. She bathed in the blood of young girls, to keep her beauty. Before it was over, more than 600 girls died. I wanted to take this lady of history and make use her into a romance novel. After all, she inspired Dracula, and I wanted to give it a twist. I have always loved Dracula, and was inspired when I read her story.

What do you think it is about Dracula and Vampires, that have fascinated us for so long?

The dark and mysterious, the untouchable. The unknown. I have always loved the myth and folklore. The idea that something like that could come alive between the pages is thrilling. Hey, if I could meet just one that I have read about, I would willingly say, "Bite me and mean it."

LOL LOL That is too funny! What gave you the idea for it?

Just wanted something kind of new and not full of fiction :) But hot and romantic as well.

So you wanted to mix fiction with non fiction?

Yes, and I have never read a romance with the countess in it. I just wanted to mix things up a bit.

Other then the digests and the portal series, what is your next project?

I have the plans started for an elements series. 5 books based around witches and the cops who fall in love with them. They are in the line of erotic suspense. Earth, wind, fire, air and spirits. I have great plans for these.

Sounds enticing! How does it differ from the books you write now?

This is my first shot at a novel series. I also have much research to do. Though its fiction, I want to get all the details right in the area of spells and such. But I'm enjoying it.

I think I can speak for most of us, when I say, "We can't wait!" Where do you want to go from here?

As far as I can and beyond. I hope to be telling tales when I'm to old to drive. I love doing this. Its my biggest dream. I don't think I could be happy doing anything else. Other than my kids, my writing is my love. Even my house suffers. LOL

As we close can you tell us what is your favorite quote?

"Don't sweat the petty stuff, just pet the sweaty stuff" Meaning, life's going happen, you may as well roll with it and land on your feet.
