Brenda & Steve: Hi Eden, welcome to our blog! We’re so excited you could join us for a chat. When did you first decide to submit your work to be published? Tell us what or who encouraged you to take this big step.

Eden: Hi you two lovelies! I’m thrilled to be here and thanks so much for inviting me to your great site.

I left my job in January 2010 and started writing full-time for submission shortly thereafter. Writing is something I’ve always done, but I wasn’t able to both write and do my job, so something had to give.

After twenty years in banking, I knew I had to make the change while I still had the courage to take the leap.

Brenda & Steve: Please tell us a little about your new release without giving too much of a spoiler away.

Eden: Spring into Summer is the companion piece to my first book, Fall into Winter. It’s comprised of four distinct erotic novellas; two take place in the spring and two in the summer.

The inspiration for this book is vast. My love of poetry has connected me to some amazing poets, and their words have seeped into my subconscious. It’s reorganized the way I write and ripped stories from my heart. The book is influenced by my affection for poets.  

The common thread of all the stories? Sex, of course, where it is appropriate and demanded by the story. This is erotica, after all.
 

Brenda & Steve: Do you plan all your characters out before you start a story or do they develop as you write?

Eden: Great question. It’s a combination of both. I usually have an idea of what the characters are like when I set out to write, but they also grow as the story grows.

Brenda & Steve: How much research do you do for your books? Have you found any cool tidbits in your research?

Eden: The research has to do with settings primarily. I’ve traveled a lot and usually pick interesting places to write about—Thailand, Ireland, and England are some of my favorite countries, so I’ve used them in my stories. When I write about places, I like to expose readers to the beauty of them, but I don’t want my work to read like a travel guide.
In “Unlocking the Mystery” in my current release, I researched the history of the General Post Office in Dublin. It wasn’t a huge part of the story, but it was a very interesting piece of history in Ireland, and I added it to give the story more depth.

Brenda & Steve: What is your writing process? Do you outline, write by the seat of your pants (Pantser) or a combination of both?

Eden: I’m a pantser with a very modest amount of plotting. I hate writing within confines even if they are guidelines I’ve set for myself. I can’t even fill in government forms without writing outside the box!

Brenda & Steve: Do you have a ritual when it comes to writing? Example….get coffee, blanket, paper, pen, laptop and a comfy place. 

Eden: I actually don’t. I suppose it goes back to the last question where it shows I don’t like to plan too much. Given that, I’m also not a huge fan of routine. I get bored easily so I tend to do things that inspire my writing.
Every day is something different. The only odd ritual I have is wearing a wool cap when I write in the cold months. I hate having my head cold.

Brenda & Steve: Describe a typical writing day for you. 

Eden: Ha! There isn’t one. Blogging, social media, and writing for my next projects all play into it. In between, I try to schedule eating, spending time with my husband and friends, and sleep.

Brenda & Steve: Please give us a sneak peek at your future books. What’s on the horizon?

Eden: By the end of this year, I’ll release a collection of flash fiction and poetry. Details will be disclosed shortly.
I’m also working on a full-length novel for next year. I’ll be genre-bending (as opposed to gender-bending, heh) and create a story with erotic elements, but it won’t be a book of erotica.

Brenda & Steve: What is your favorite genre to read and who is your favorite author?

Eden: I love Charles Bukowski, and I don’t have a favorite genre. I read everything because there’s merit to it for me. I’ve learned so much about my own writing deficiencies from reading poetry, sci-fi, and even just picking up a newspaper.

Brenda & Steve: Is there anything else you would like to tell the readers we have not touched on?

Eden: Honestly, Brenda and Steve, I think you’ve asked some great questions, and I hope this gives your readers a taste for my writing and piques their interest to read my books.

I really appreciate your support.

Brenda & Steve: Where can the readers learn more about you and find your books on the web?

Eden: I’ve included all my links in a new platform I just set up. Find out all about me here http://about.me/eden.baylee

About the book

In Spring into Summer, a collection of emotionally-charged erotic novellas, four women explore their sexual limits, marked by love, lust, and loss.

Life for Claire Pelletier is changed forever when she meets a professor who teaches her a most important lesson in "A Season for Everything."

Evelyn Sutton goes in search of a man in "Unlocking the Mystery" and discovers the key to her own heart.

With an open mind, Ava Connors attends a party but wonders if reality can ever live up to her hottest fantasies in "Summer Solstice."

In "The Lottery," Sierra Zhao sacrifices herself to numerous men to help a friend, fully aware of the consequences.

With locations in London, Dublin, Cape Cod, and Bangkok, these four women will seek pleasure to alter their lives and push their sexual boundaries.
