Interview with Don Abdul
We had the opportunity to interview Don Abdul. He is the writer of many erotic fiction books. He just finished
writing a Sci-Fi erotica story titled A Time for Justice. That story is part of
an Author Challenge Anthology called Eros. Read below to check out our interview and to find out more about Don.
ABA: Can
you tell us a little about yourself?
Don: Don Abdul is a writer
and author of erotic fiction in his mid-40s. I’m
a single dad of two wonderful teenage boys, who are as yet too young to be introduced
to most of my writing. They however love daddy’s more tame poems *Winks*.
ABA: Can
you tell us about your books?
Don: I
write sizzling erotic romance books which appeal to both sexes, regardless of
their sexual orientation. My characters are written in such a way that readers
can easily identify and empathize with them. One of the key strengths of my
books is that each book has a strong and plausible plot behind the story, and
the sex is definitely in the upper heat levels.
To
date I have over a dozen books including an erotic poetry book titled Rock My World
all published under my name Don Abdul. I also have three other books published
under my other pen name Tyrese Jordan.
ABA: Which
book has been the easiest to write?
Don: The
book that has been easiest to write is Chocolate Desire, which is the first
book in A Cougar’s Legacy Trilogy. The story was just begging to be written and
the sex was so hot I had to take several breaks to enjoy the moment and take a
few cold showers as well *winks*
ABA: What
challenges have you had to overcome as a writer?
Don: I have
faced several challenges, chief among which is dealing with rejection from
potential publishers. But I overcame that and eventually got published five
years after my I submitted my first manuscript.
ABA: Do
you have a favorite character to write about?
Don: My favourite
character from my books is Raymond “Ray” Chadway from A Cougar’s Legacy
Trilogy. Despite being a much younger in a relationship with a cougar, he
maintains his independence, integrity, and not only is he smoking hot and damn
good lay. He is a deeply loving and caring perfect gentleman. In a world where
good older women end up with younger bad boys, Ray is a good guy in every sense
of the word, especially in the way he rocks Marie-Claire’ world and makes her
forget the pains of her turbulent past.
ABA: Do
you have a favourite spot to write?
Don: My
absolute favourite place to write is my living room couch. What most might not
realize is that when I write I take my own advice for reading my stories; I get
in the zone *Wink*. Writing in the nude makes getting some relief easier, even
taking a cold shower too *winks*
ABA: Do
you work with an outline, or just write?
Don: I
start my stories by creating an outline, and then I build on that outline. This
technique makes writing a lot easier in my opinion.
I have also written some of my books straight up, in fact in once
particular instance, I wrote an entire book in three days without an outline.
ABA: When
did you know you wanted to write a book?
Don: I
wrote an essay in junior high school, which got published in my school newsletter;
I later grew to become the deputy editor of the newsletter. That article opened
my eyes and I knew right then that I would love to write my own book some day.
ABA: What's
one random fact about yourself that you can share?
Don: Well,
one fact about me that hardly any of my readers know is that back in college I
worked part time as a Radio DJ, and a Television Presenter.
ABA: What
are you working on next?
Don: I just finished
writing a Sci-Fi erotica story titled A Time for Justice. This story is part of
an Author Challenge Anthology called Eros.
It is a story of life on the fast lane, Justice and Time travel set in
Wall Street and Victorian England. Of course it wouldn’t be a Don Abdul story
if it didn’t have hot sex scene, and naughty twists in it.
And then of course I am also working on the Third and final book in A
Cougar’s Legacy Trilogy. My readers and fans of my poetry should also expect a
new poetry book soon.
