Interview With Tracie Podger: 


   1.     Can you tell us a little about your books?

I write in various genres. I have books in contemporary romance, erotic romance, thrillers and suspense. The Facilitator is my erotic romance and has been an Amazon bestseller in the UK for a few months now. It’s currently being put into audio as well! Luckily, a publisher has that so I won’t have to proof-listen, that might be a tad embarrassing. The Facilitator, along with my thrillers/suspense, A Deadly Sin, Harlot, and Gabriel are also in Kindle Unlimited.

   2.     What inspires you to write?

The need to stay sane! I’m a full time carer and it’s tough. When I lose myself in my fictional lands I can escape from every day life for a little while and it’s refreshing, even if that fictional land is a thriller one and I’m plotting a gruesome murder.

   3.     How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?

I’ve written 25 books, I have, I think, 20 published at the moment. As for a favourite, I’m partial to all my books but A Virtual Affair is the one that resonates the most because it’s part fiction and part fact.

   4.     How do you come up with your characters names? 

Often I’ll use family or friend’s names. Sometimes, I google if I want a typical Italian name (I write mafia romance as well). There might also be times when I simply scan Facebook for a name I think suits my character. I often have the name long before I have the characteristics of the character.

   5.     If you could be friends with one of your character, which one would you chose?

I’m friends will all of them, already! If her were real, I’d be best friends with Robert Stone, my main character from The Fallen Angel series. He’s complex and complicated, moody and fearsome. He’s my kind of person. 

   6.     Do you have a release day tradition?

Other than to eat chocolate, but then I do that a lot of days, I don’t really. I learned a while ago to not panic and what will be will be.
                                          
   7.     If your fairy godmother waved her wand and whisked you away to the location of your choice, which place would you choose?

I love the Maldives for a relaxing holiday. I love Italy for the food and culture. I think it would have to depend on how I felt at the time. If I needed to sleep in the sun for a few days, then the Maldives would be my choice all the time. I’m also a Scuba Diving instructor so I could get my fix of being underwater with the sharks.

   8.     What are writing projects are you currently working on?

A secret project that will be revealed in November as well as a RomCom called Limp Dicks & Saggy Tits. However, the next release will be The Facilitator, Part 2 and I really need to knuckle down and get that written.
