Welcome to my Reading
Nook, . Please make yourself at home and let my cabana
boys/girls get you a drink. Sharita: Oh good because I need one. I
prefer the cabana boy though. *winks*
Comfortable? Wonderful.
Now let’s get started.Sharita: Yes I am thank you for having me.
Tell us about your latest release or upcoming release. What
inspired it? Sharita: Well I can tell
you about the latest which is my first hetero under my BL name, Losing My
Inhibitions. I thought it was about time I wrote about a male and female and
their story is based on a fictional couple I’ve written about before I got
published. The gal is a fun fearless fem and the guy is sexually open-minded.
It’s the kind of relationship I dreamed about as a young woman.
If you
could throw a party with any five people (living or dead) who would you pick
and why?
Sharita: Hmm, that’s a toughie. I’d say
the members of Duran Duran would be it but let me be adult for a moment and let
go of my teenage fantasies. How about, Andy Warhol, James Morrison, David
Bowie, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards? LOL Lots going on there I’m sure.
*winks* Very interesting conversation with the musicians I admire.
What
are at least five things you have on your bucket list and have you done any of
them?
Sharita: Last five? I dunno if I have
five. One thing I’ve always wanted to do was travel overseas. Never done that.
The farthest I’ve been is Canada. Yes I know, BORING! I love Canada but I would
like an opportunity to go somewhere else besides across the northern border.
Do you work on one project at a time? Or
do you multi-task?
Sharita:
I don’t anymore. Now, I only do a story at once. I used to do like 5. *laughs*
Good thing most of those are still in my possession, needing revisions. I may
do fanfiction while writing occasionally but even that is scarce.
What song would best describe your life?
Sharita:
Highway to Hell by ACDC? *laughs* Okay no. I’m not a terrible person. Despite
my outgoing personality, I’m pretty reserved. I think Reach Up for the Sunrise
by Duran Duran. Typical I know. (Insert fangirl squee here) I’ve always tried
to live life to its fullest regardless of what’s going on. Keep a smile even
when I’m down. That’s what that song means to me.
Do you
listen to music when writing? Do you feel like some stories write themselves a
soundtrack with specific music? If so, what book and what kind of music
influenced it?
Sharita: I always have music on even when
writing fanfic. When I wrote Smooth Like Latte under Rawiya, I listened to a
lot of old R&B and jazz music. Sade, Love Jones Soundtrack, Brown Sugar by
D’Angelo. Even though I’m a pop girl/metalhead, when I listened to the smooth
sounds and beats, the characters seemed to respond. Both men wanted love,
somethng lasting and romantic.
Are
any of your characters just like you or have personality quirks/traits of you
or someone you know?
Sharita: All have something that’s a part
of me. Quirky, most of them reserved romantics. Talkative or is that loudmouth?
*laughs*
Who are some of your other favorite authors and genres to read?
Sharita:
Oh I love Sue Brown and m/m romance of course. I really need to read other
genres but m/m peaks my interest more than any. Sue is my hero. I love her
style. Tara Lain, Cassandre Dayne, Avril Ashton, Patricia Logan, Lisa Worrall
all of them are great writers. Someday I hope to be just as good as they are.
When you looked in the mirror this morning, what was the first
thing you thought?
Sharita:
Oh shit, I need to go to work. *laughs* Well yeah and then I thought about the
book I need to finish or the 5 or so that need edits and revisions.
What is one thing scientists should invent?
Sharita:
Cloning has been done I suppose but I think they need to perfect that. I need a
clone to write while I complete the million other things I have to do.
Anything else you want to mention?
Sharita:
I’d like to take this time to thank all the wonderful people who’ve supported
me on this roller coaster ride. From great authors, to friends, to family, I
thank you all. And thanks to you Dawn
for having me!
Losing my Inhibitions by BL Morticia
Officer Vanessa Daniels is
fast approaching her 35th birthday which also happens to be on Valentine's day.
She seeks a specific kind of man to be her lover and likes being the one in the
driver's seat.
Jayson Freed is a
bartender by day and a writer by night. He's looking to find the right woman to
help fulfill some of his inner most fantasies. The two meet on an internet
dating site and immediately start talking. Will the connection work? Will
Jayson turn out to be just what this hard nose girl needs?
Smooth like Latte by Rawiya
Brendan Walsh is an uptight business executive working for
his father and missing out on real life due to his relentless drive for
success. Fearing his homophobic father’s wrath - and the potential to destroy
his financial future - Brendan hides is true orientation and lives a life of
boring celibacy.
Upon meeting Davori Jenkins when the hunky barista serves
him a latte just the way he likes it, Brendan takes a chance, leaving his
number with the tip in the hopes of changing his future love life.
Will Brendan be able to come clean with his father - risking
his fortune - or will he take a chance at losing a man who he wants as his
future?
Warning: This is an m/m interracial romance. Real romance.
Some sappiness is ahead with two very good looking men who are searching for
that happy ever after ending.
Author Sharita Lira: The Triad, otherwise known as the
characters in the head of Sharita Lira are three separate muses that are the
driving force behind her small amount of success. Misses Lira sees her own life
as one that is very ordinary, so instead of presenting herself out to the
world, she created three personalities that continue to haunt her all hours of
the night to get several WIP’s done at the speed of light, and push her to the
brink of sheer exhaustion, but she loves it and that’s the reason she hasn’t
told them to get the hell out her head.
Michael
Mandrake, BLMorticia, and Rawiya collectively have written over 30 stories
published in e-book and or print through 7 different publishers. Right now as
it stands, Mrs. Lira and the muses have 6 sole author books with much more to
come in 2012 and beyond.
She is a happily married mother of two
that writes m/m, m/f, ménage, paranormals, contemporaries, and for fun some fan
fiction. She is a proud member of the Erotica Readers & Writers
Association, as well as an advocate for rights of LGBT citizens, and a big fan
of 80′s and heavy metal music. She’s also a contributor to the heavy metal ezine
Fourteeng.net.
