Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi! My name is Victoria Ellis and I have written seven books and two poetry collections. I am a multigenre author that writes Romance, Romantic Suspense, Thrillers, and Poetry!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest work is Blurred Lines (although my next book, According to Plan comes out 9.17.20!) The inspiration behind Blurred Lines runs very deep in my own personal life. The book is mocked off of a record album, with Side A and Side B, all of the chapters are song names, and the main male character is a musician.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I cannot listen to music while I write! All of my author friends have playlists and go to jams while they are working on their projects and I cannot have any distractions.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Definitley Agatha Christie!
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on book four of a romance series (According to Plan is book two!).
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My best method is word of mouth. I love sharing on social media, I have an ARC Team who is wonderful about sharing all of my up and coming work as well.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t get discouraged when you don’t become Stephen King overnight. It doesn’t happen quickly. It takes literal blood, sweat, tears, and years.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write what you know.
AND…
Your first draft is going to suck. Embrace it and make it better.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading His & Hers by Alice Feeney
What’s next for you as a writer?
After I finish this romance series with my friend (she is writing books one, three, and five, I am writing books two, four, and six….they are also all stand-alones in the same world!) I will be working on a rockstar romance duet.
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?
OH MY GOD. Okay. So…
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
Mudvein by Tarryn Fisher
After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid
