Interview with Teresa D. Patterson

Well, we have the author of varies Urban Fiction novels in the hot seat with us this afternoon.  Let's chat with Teresa D. Patterson and get to know her a bit.  Shall we?


1.  How do you spell your name? T-E-R-E-S-A, P-A-T-T-E-R-S-O-N

2.  How old are you?  45 Do you care if I put your age in the article? No.

3.  Where do you live?  St. Petersburg, FL. Do you care if I put your hometown in the article? No.

4.  Tell me about your book. The Real Hood Wives of St. Pete. is set in the city of St. Petersburg, FL. It’s about three single mothers who live in the housing projects. Each woman is there for a different reason. It tells of their struggles of dealing with issues single mothers have to face on a daily basis.

5.  What inspired you to write? I was inspired to write by my mother who writes poetry and by my fifth grade spelling teacher.

6.  What is your writing process? I don’t really have a writing process. I just write. I tried to stick to a writing schedule but it didn’t work for me.
How long does it take you to write a book? Sometimes I can write a book in a little over a month. At other times, it takes years. It just depends on how motivated I am to finish the story or if the characters are continuously speaking to me.

7.  What exactly is erotic romance? I can’t really answer that question because I don’t write erotic romance. The two romance novels I’ve written, Panzina’s Passion and Soul on Fire, do not have any erotic scenes included.

8.  How do you write all those steamy sex scenes? Some of my novels, like THEY CALL ME MY G-SPOT and UNCROSSING HER LEGS, have lots of steamy sex scenes. I write those scenes by imagining what I’d like to have happen in my bedroom (or an elevator.) It’s definitely not from experience.

9.  Why do you write romance? I write romance because I grew up reading Harlequin Romance novels and I just fell in love with those types of books. What appeals to you about it? I love the idea of love and two people falling in love. It just warms my heart.

10. Who are some of your favorite authors? Dean Koontz, Keith Kareem Williams and Keith Gaston.

 I must say that it has been a pleasure speaking with you this afternoon Teresa.

Keep A Blog

Blogs are a great way for you to chat with your readership and give them plenty of great content that will get them to keep coming back for more. You can link your blogs to many different social media outlets, including Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. When you link Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ to your blog and you post something on your blog, a message with the link to your blog post appears in your social media feed. Blog sites include Blogger, Goodreads, and Livejournal. What you post in your blog is really up to you. If your book is a time period story, you can write about the tine period when your book takes place. If your book is a paranormal, talking about the supernatural creatures and the history behind them is great fodder. You can post excerpts from your novel, serialize your novel and post it one chunk at a time (assuming you have the rights to do so), post brand-new material, talk about the creative process and how you wrote the book, and write about other things your rea

Podcast Your Books

One medium that is often ignored by authors are audiobooks. You can podcast your books by posting your audio on Libsyn.com or similar podcast hosting websites. Once your book is up on Libsyn, it can be published on iTunes and other podcasting websites. The disadvantage is that podcasting takes a steep learning curve. If you're not gifted with a pleasant voice, or if you're uncomfortable reading your book, you may find that podcasting isn't for you, or you may decide to pay someone to podcast your book. Voice talent can get expensive, so it may not an option for those who have to watch their expenditures. Here is my Blog Talk Radio Podcast. It is also on iTunes... http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jeane
