Author D. X. Luc

Today we have Author D.X. Luc sharing a little about her work. Hi Author    D.X. Luc, thank you for visiting.  Can you tell us a little bit about yourself. 

An avid reader since I was a child, I never found a book I disliked. Mostly, you could find me lost in Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, or Ernest Hemingway, and my most favorite, Ancient Greek literature. Taking my love of books, I started writing poetry, short stories, and even helped with screen writes for my drama club.
 By the time I was in my teens, my older sister introduced me to my first romance novel, The Hawk and the Dove by Virginia Henley. The moment I fell into the world of love, I was hooked, and my addiction for more grew until I found myself delving deeper into the erotic.
 After being convinced that I had the skills to try my hand at writing, I went to work on my first story Down the Yellow Brick Road: Finding Home. And since being published, I've not looked back.
 Now, as a busy mom of three, that homeschools, drives to activities, and manages to find time to just cuddle with my husband of ten years, I have to say, I love being naughty when I get the chance. It's freeing and I wouldn't want it any other way!

How did you decided to enter the world of writing? 

I've always written in some form or another, but it took my friend, a multi published author to tell me I could do it.

What does your family think of your writing? 

My husband chuckles at my need to turn the world on, but supports me. My kids are too young to care. As for my family, they wish I'd write more sweeter stories than the erotica that tends to come out of me.

Where do you get your ideas? 

Really depends. Sometimes an idea just pops into my head or I hear something being said and BOOM! Idea for a story.

I'll do ya one better! I'll put the blurb.

Can you tell us a little about your book?

Blurb:

When love and war makes a little wager, what could possibly go wrong?
 I am Hephaestus. God of inventions, blacksmiths, and volcanoes. Sounds like I'm awesome right? Well, I'm not. In fact, I'm the loser of Olympus and a new bachelor to boot. Living the single life is great until a decade passed. Honestly if my divorce from the Goddess of Love wasn't bad enough, I am still being rejected by the other women of my home.
 Because of an incessant need to make me a pawn in his game, my brother, Ares convinces Eros to make a little bet. A wager that puts my lack of love life to the test. Sent to Earth, I'm skeptical, when suddenly I lose myself in the sensual scent and beauty of the full bodied Vanessa. She is my everything, my perfection.
 Sadly, from a single caress upon her silky flesh, I sent our lives into a downward spiral of hell. To save her, I must get beyond my demons of the past. And to save me, she will have to decide if I'm worth giving up everything for.

 What is your writing process? 

I do not plot very well at all. I'm a fly by the pantser type of writer.

 What was the hardest part for you when working on your book? 

Letting go. I have a love/hate with writing “The End”. I don't want to say goodbye to my characters so I tend to linger when it comes to ending a book.

 What influenced or inspired you to write? 

Being the youngest child out of eight, I didn't have many friends. The sibling before me is 10 years older so I was left to make my own world. My imagination was my solace.

Was there a scene that you didn’t add or you removed in your finished work? 

I don't think so. The book used to be something else entirely, but I didn't like it and Touch of the Gods was born. I love how it turned out.

Do you have a favorite character (from you're book)? Why? 

I really love Hephaestus. He's a broken hero that I couldn't help but love.

Do you already know what to write next? Can you tell us? 

I'm actually editing a non romance at the moment, but I have at least a chapter written for the second Touch of the Gods.

Where can we find more information about you and your books?

 Do you have any last words? 

Love writing and it'll always be good to you. Even when you feel like it's too much, the promoting is going no where, don't give up. It's that love that keeps the stories alive and the readers coming back for more.
