Who is the Stalker & how did it kick off ?
Xavier Preston is tall, dark, and handsome, and the problem is that he knows it. He's a bestselling author who is accustomed to adoring female fans, both young and old, flirting with him, throwing themselves shamelessly at him, and trying to get between more than the covers of his novels. He has always been more than willing to accommodate their needs and desires; however, his womanizing days have finally ended. He's engaged to a beautiful woman, Kendall, and he's decided to walk the straight and narrow. Or has he?
From outside appearances, the very stunning Pilar has it all: a great career, a beautiful home, and a trust fund that keeps her financially secure; however, looks can be deceiving. All that glitters isn't necessarily gold. Pilar is searching for her perfect soulmate, and she thinks she has found him in Xavier. She believes in going after what she wants with a vengeance . . . and she wants Xavier. That is not negotiable. She will have him, even if it kills him. When Xavier meets his fanatical fan, Pilar, he gets much more than he bargained for. What starts out as an erotic one-night stand quickly spirals out of control into a dangerous game of obsession and pain with both parties playing to win.
When did you fall in love with writing? Wow! I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t madly and passionately in love with writing. Writing has always been an essential part of me, of who I am as a person. It defines me in many ways. When I write, I am transported to another dimension. My soul feels free and light and at peace. Writing brings me serenity and fulfillment like no other. Like a lover, I love it and it loves me back. Writing caresses my spirit and I simply soar like an eagle. When I write I feel powerful---after all, I am creating life with the stroke of my pen or computer keys. My characters come alive on the pages of my books. That's magic. And when my readers digest my stories, they get to meet these incredible characters, with their faults, imperfections and all. I do not write as a hustle. I write because I am passionate about the power and beauty of words. As my children say, “That’s real talk.
Introduce us to your book, Diary of a Stalker. Diary of a Stalker: a best-selling male author gets more than he bargained for when he meets a fanatical female fan. What starts out as a one-night stand quickly spirals out of control and into a dangerous game of obsession and pain.
Have you or someone you know ever been stalked? I can honestly say that I've never, ever been stalked nor have I personally known anyone that has been stalked. Now, if you had posed the question a little differently and asked me if I had ever stalked anyone, you may have received a different and interesting answer. Just kidding, Thai !
Which book has been your most favorite to write, and why
What drives you? Life, the precious beauty of existing, the experience of learning something new each and every day. Joys, pains. Failures. Accomplishments. Life lessons. My children, my spouse. Love. Observing people in all their beauty and splendor and seeing the not so pretty side. Writing is my essence, my link with the world.
What is the most gratifying part of being an author ?
Their (the readers) feedback and reactions totally validates that my craft is a gift from God! If I can touch a number of people with my stories or even if I only entertain them and they don't walk away with a life lesson, then I've still done my job. As you know, my stories are typically relationship based, very drama filled with an ounce of spice thrown in, well maybe a pound of spice thrown in, and they usually cover a topical issue that is prevalent in today's society. Believe me, I have so many characters screaming inside my head, waiting to tell their story, that I feel like the lady from the movie Sybil. (LOL) So, bottom line, I pray and claim that my readership base will continue to grow and I'll have wonderful opportunities to meet many more fans.
What is your most valuable lesson about the publishing industry ?
Different Font - Same Electric Electa... Enjoy !!
How do you relax? I don't. . . no seriously, I relax my sleeping (God, I love, love, love to sleep) and I read books by my favorite authors. Oh, did I mention I also adore shopping? Do you keep a diary? I no longer keep a diary, but I did as a child for many years and later I kept a journal. Today, I basically blog at www.electaromeparks.blogspot.com to express my feelings and innermost thoughts.
What's your guilty pleasure? I have two guilty pleasures: Facebook (absolutely addicted to it) and fantasizing about T.O., the football player. (I love his smile and that gorgeous body). LOL.
Do you have any pets? No, I don't have any pets. Even as a child, I didn't own any. However, if I were a pet owner, I would be a cat person. I admire the fact that cats are mysterious, independent and self-sufficient, just like me.
