Author 2 Author Welcomes HJ!!






Welcome 'Helen Johnston' to ‘Author 2 Author’ Blog Interview. Thank you for stopping by, please make yourself at home and we’ll begin.



Tell us a bit about yourself?
I grew up in my family’s home in the County of Hampshire, England. My childhood dreams were filled with the desire to become a dancer. An only child, but I was never alone, my years were spent entertained with my vivid imagination. I met and married my husband not long after leaving school and soon after our son was born. My family is made complete with my two cats who are spoiled rotten, which results in them often thinking they rule the home. My life consisted of home life and a few jobs in the retail industry and my vivid imagination refused to stay quiet. So combined with my love of erotica and all things vampire I decided to try my hand at writing and has never looked back.

And these books are the ones we’ll be chatting about today with these straight forward and standard questions…
How would you describe 'your book (s)'?

Fast paced, paranormal, with lots of erotic interludes.


What Genre is your work mainly? Do you tend to stay in the same vein or are you hoping (if not already) to explore new ventures?

The genre is Erotic paranormal fiction. I enjoy writing in this field and do not have any desire to write in a different genre.


What inspired you to write 'your book (s)’?

I can’t say I was inspired, I read a lot and decided to write a book I would find fun and sexy to read.


Who was the easiest character to write and why?
Hardest and why?

My leading man Blake was the easiest as he is and will always be special to me, it began with him and he took me on a whirlwind adventure. The hardest, I think was his sadistic brother, it was hard for me to submerge myself is someone who is evil.


Are your characters based on real people? People you may know or TV/Movie stars?

Seraphina is the only character who is based a real person, an old friend of mine. Not looks just her personality.


Without giving anything away, what is/are your favorite scene(s) in 'your book'?

That's hard, I think it’s when Siobhan realizes that Blake is finally there.


If 'your book (s)' had a theme song, what would it be and why?

Anything by Evanescence


Do you listen to music while you write your book (s)?
If so ... what songs?

No I have to have silence.


What’s up next for you?

I'm writing a new set of books based in a sex club in Soho London


What inspired you to be a writer?

Is there anything in particular that spurred you on?
I wanted to write a book I would find sexy and people saying I couldn’t do it spurred me on. I think I am too stubborn to give up.


What’s came first the chicken or the egg? Lol

Egg.


A little background into your writing: when did you start? 
What was your first piece? 
First published piece, tell us about your general history…

I started writing seven years ago. I self published book one Innocence Lost myself on Amazon KDP and more recently book two Innocence Reclaimed. I am now signed with GMTA Publishers.


Do you have any favorite books or authors?

There are so many. Lora Leigh and J R Ward, but I love to read anything paranormal.


Are you working on anything else besides this?

Yes a new set of books, and getting book three in the series Journey of Innocence, Innocence Reborn edited ready for publishing.


Here could you give us a few words to people who haven’t yet read your book (s).
Sell your work ;)

It’s basically a love story, the corny saying “love can conquer all.” You are taken on a journey with twists in it. There are characters to fall in love with, to hate, and everything in between. Vampires that have fangs, and do bite, but not necessarily on the neck... Plenty of hot steamy sex that will tease your senses and leave you craving more...
