Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hiya, my name is Elle Boon. Turo’s Fated Mate actually makes my 25th book that I’ve released. I’m really excited about this story as it has all my favorite characters showing up, and you get to see Jenna and her men go off, which leads up to their book. Also, you find out how many babies Kellen the alpha and his mate have. Finally! LOL.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Turo’s Fated Mate is book 7 and it organically flowed from book 6. I love series, not only writing, but reading so it was natural for me. Although, Jenna the Fey Queen’s book will actually be book 1 of a new series. Of course, they’ll tie into the Iron Wolves “wink”.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Hmmm, well, I always have to have red hots when I write. I always start on paper, then move to my computer, and I listen to music. Need music to write and if you read me, you’ll probably be able to pick out a line or two that somehow gets put into my books as part of dialogue. For instance in Dark Lovers one of the bad guys says “He’s worse than the beast under your bed” which clearly came from a Metallica song.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Oh, so many, but I’d have to say Sherrilyn Kenyon, Shelly Laurenston, JR Ward and Lora Leigh for starters. They have amazing series that don’t seem to repeat themselves and always have me wanting the next book NOW. That is what I hope to do to my readers.
What are you working on now?
I just started book 6 in my SEAL Team Phantom series, Delta Redemption. It’s gonna be a story of epic proportions as the hero is actually the old leader of the SEAL team who they all thought had turned traitor.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook for sure.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
To never give up and to write every day. Remember you are your own best promotional tool. Treat your website, your online presence as a store front. Keep it neat and fun. You wouldn’t go into a restaurant or store in real life if there was garbage all over the entrance, so act as though your online places are the same. And have fun. If you’re having fun, then readers will too. IMO
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Sylvia Day told me when I started to write 3 books before I ever submitted. She said that it would do many things for me. A. It would help me learn to write. B. I would figure out how long it takes me to write a story. C. I would know if I really wanted to write after the third one.
I can honestly tell you the first book has never seen a publisher or light of day LOL. Book 2 is published and one of my all time favorites. Selena’s Men and book 3 is Accidentally Wolf, so I think I did pretty good.
What are you reading now?
Sherrilyn Kenyon’s latest Dragonsworn. It is sooo good. Of course I love everything she writes, I even have the Dark Hunters double bow and arrow tattoo on my back <3
What’s next for you as a writer?
To finish this book, and possibly head to La Crosse, WI for a book signing.
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?
Oy, I would take Acheron by SK and Styxx as well. Then I would take Lord Of the Desert by Diana Palmer and Shades of Twilight by Linda Howard. Love all of these books.
