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?
All
my books can be found on Amazon. Check me out at the links below.
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.
Fun Questions-
I love weekends because?
I can sit back and do more. The kids are
usually with grandma giving me time for myself.
I hate?
Waking up before the alarm clock.
That really annoys the life out of me.
I want to buy?
A Chevy Traverse.
My favorite song is?
At the moment? Holy Touch by
Foxy Shazam.
My favorite precious stone is?
My birthstone opal.
I want to travel to? Why?
Greece. It's pretty obvious I
have a thing for the all things Greek.
I want to meet? Why?
My future self. Maybe that me will be able to give
me some heads up on what not to do.
I want to invite my great grandfather to
dinner. Why?
I never got to meet him as he passed away long before I was
born. But my great grandmother explained how he was a second generation freed
slave. She told me how amazing he was. I'm sad I never got to know him.
My dream is to?
See my work on the big screen. A
gal can dream you know?
My favorite book is?
The works of Edgar Allen Poe.
