PURE DISTRACTION
by Carolina Barbour
 
[Erotic Interracial / Futuristic Romance, some M/M] In 2030, somebody wants Lana Sinclair as a breeder. Somebody wants to capture and tame her heart. Somebody else simply wants her dead. "Pure Distraction is just that, a huge distraction if you want to get anything else done while reading it. A great summer read, but make sure you have time to sit and read it all, as you will find you keep going back to it until you finish it. 5 Stars" Joyfully Reviewed. "I truly enjoyed their sexual chemistry, hot sex, and sexy banter between Xander and Lana. This is Ms. Barbour’s first novel. I can’t wait to read her next work. I highly recommend Pure Distraction. 4 Stars" —Just Erotic Romance Reviews.  "Volcanic love scenes erupt from the pages and leave you breathless. Carolina Barbour is an excellent author and I highly recommend this book. 4 Blue Ribbons" —Romance Junkies. READ MORE

INTERVIEW

Q: How did you get started writing?

A: After years of wanting to be a writer, dreaming, I just started typing one night on a story idea I had in my head a long time. I stopped thinking about writing and started doing it. Sometimes you have to just go for it, jump in feet first, and see what happens.

Q: What is an average day writing like?

A: Actually, I rarely write during the weekday because I work a full-time job that keeps me busy. I do most of my writing on the weekends, starting around midnight until 6:00 in the morning when my husband and kids go to bed.

Q: Do you do an outline of your story idea before starting?

A: No, I never do a story outline. I tried it one time, and it drove me crazy because I prefer to let the story flow as I write. If I outline, I feel obligated to follow the outline, and that sometimes makes for a dull story. I usually start a manuscript by sitting down at my laptop and start typing. If I do any prep work, it’s usually to jot down the character names, one sentence storyline, and then go from there. I do a lot of free-form writing. I just go with whatever I feel at the time. I get the entire story down first, and then change and edit afterwards to make sure it all makes sense.

Q: How long did it take you to write your first novel?

A: I wrote the rough draft for Pure Distraction in 6 weeks, then went through multiple weeks, editing the manuscript. In all, I would say it took me three months from beginning to submission.

Q: How do you keep the storyline/chapters together in your head?

A: I haven’t figured that out yet. I use notes sometimes, but mostly I scribble on any piece of paper available. When I feel like I need to get organized (smile) I will use Notepad to jot down thoughts. But mostly I just type, type, and type some more. I worry about how the chapters flow and the story comes together during the editing phase.
