Anita Louise

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My husband comes from a large and loving family of nine children, and they were the inspiration for the Adler Family Series. I’ve always been an avid reader of love stories, and my passion for romance found another outlet when I discovered how much fun it was to write about my own smart and sexy heroes and heroines.

I’ve currently written four of the ten books planned for the Adler Series.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is “Should I Stay or Should I Go ~ Connor & Gina, The Adlers Book 4″t
It’s time for Connor, the youngest of the nine Adler children, to grow up. After spending his youth as an irresponsible screw-up, Connor is finally starting to get his life together. He’s in business for himself and things are going pretty well. When he meets Gina Giamanti, it’s lust at first sight! The Italian bombshell is only in the United States on a ninety-day visa. When she says she’s looking for “lavoro” he thinks she wants a lover and he’s ready to accommodate her.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Making a positive impact on my reader’s live is a big reason I chose to start writing. With that in mind, I like to have an underlying theme to my novels. So far, I’ve touched on nudity, spousal abuse, special needs children, and date rape.

I’m pretty strict with myself. I set a daily goal for my word count and do my best to achieve it regularly.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve always been a reader, and romance novels have been my book of choice for many years. Steamy romance authors like Jill Shalvis, Bella Andre, Susan Elizabeth Phillips and others have greatly influenced my work.

What are you working on now?
“I Saw the Light in Your Eyes ~ Olivia & Tyler, The Adlers Book 5 ”

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m here on Awesomegang.com for that very purpose. Hopefully, some of the awesome people who meet here enjoy reading steamy romance novels.

My blog and various social media platforms are also great places to share my work with new readers who will hopefully become fans.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
I think all good writers were first avid readers. Whatever genre you choose, it should be one about which you’re passionate. Write at least a little every day. Find a good editor and make sure your book is as mistake free as possible before publishing. In today’s world, you have to learn how to market and promote your work. If you love to write and are writing about something you love, there are people out there who will want to read it. Have faith and keep on writing!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Anne Rice ~ “On writing, my advice is the same to all. If you want to be a writer, write. Write and write and write. If you stop, start again. Save everything that you write. If you feel blocked, write through it until you feel your creative juices flowing again. Write. Writing is what makes a writer, nothing more and nothing less. — Ignore critics. Critics are a dime a dozen. Anybody can be a critic. Writers are priceless. —- Go where the pleasure is in your writing. Go where the pain is. Write the book you would like to read. Write the book you have been trying to find but have not found. But write. And remember, there are no rules for our profession. Ignore rules. Ignore what I say here if it doesn’t help you. Do it your own way. — Every writer knows fear and discouragement. Just write.”

What are you reading now?
“What Dreams May Come” by Richard Matheson
“Second Chance Summer” by Jill Shalvis
Just finished “Line of Scrimmage” by Marie Force

What’s next for you as a writer?
Finishing the Adler series is my top priority right now. It generally takes me 3-4 months for each novel. At that rate, this project will keep me busy until late 2017 or maybe even into 2018. After that … who knows. Maybe a spin off?

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
“A Course In Miracles”
“Gone With the Wind”
“Wuthering Heights”
