Interview:
1.) Tell us what a day in the life of Elivra Bathory is like.
A day in the life of Elvira Bathory is
pretty calm. I wake up in the morning and do my morning exercises, have a small
breakfast and head into my job as a costume consultant for the local theatres
in New Mexico. There I do my best to consult with the costumer makers and
directors of small plays to make the costumes as authentic as possible.
2.) What made you want to start writing?
I have always loved reading romance novels.
Something about the way a heroine and hero in these novels fight so hard to be
together. But I found that some of the romance novels that I would read became
a little boring, so I tried my hand at writing a short romance with less plot
and more action. I prefer to get down to business when I write my erotica. I
know some plot is needed just to make sure that the story line is moving along,
but why make the reader wait eighteen chapters to get to the good stuff?
3.) When writing, do you prefer silence or
some kind of background noise?
I prefer to have some sort of sensual type
of music playing in the background. I feel that it keeps me in the mood to
write any of the steamy scenes that I write.
4.) Morning person or night owl?
Night owl all the way
5.) Do you prefer to have a schedule or
wing it?
I have often tried to have a schedule when
it comes to my writing and have found that winging it has been a much better
practice for me.
6.) When you have downtime from writing,
what do you like to do?
I like to read and try to blow my cat’s ear
drums with my singing.
7.) Do you make an outline or just write?
Outlines are good when you’re in the idea
stages of your pieces, be them shorts or novels, but when it comes to actually
writing that glancing at the outline of ideas helps but isn’t absolutely
needed.
8.) What advice would you give aspiring
writers?
I would advise all aspiring writers to just
write. Don’t listen to any rejection letters you may have received since you
started writing and don’t listen to any of the nay sayers out there. A good
friend of mine always says, “Haters gonna hate” and he would be right.
9.) How do you come up with your ideas?
My ideas come from everything around me.
Watching that couple in the coffee shop in the beginning stages of love, or the
couple in the grocery store that have been together for years help inspire all
of my romance and erotica writing.
10.) Do you like to base your characters on
pure fiction or is there a little of real friends in them?
It depends on my mood actually. Some of my
characters have been based on real friends and then there are those characters
that seem so real to me that I have to get them down.
11.) Do you have a favorite author and why?
Nora Roberts would be one of my favorite
authors because she really knows how to spin a romance story that will keep you
reading until the very end.

in search of that perfect man, she spends her nights inventing him from her
