#WriterWednesday with Luce Sutherland
/
I’d like to welcome Luce Sutherland to the blog for #WriterWednesday! And many thanks for being the first interview for 2025!
Things you never want to run out of:
Migraine medication, vanilla Macadamia nut coffee from Maui Coffee Co., electricity, the internet, and colored pens. Oh, and good books to read!
Things you wish you’d never bought:
Nutri bullet blender as I’m over my smoothie craze. The last winter coat I bought (I live in Florida!). All the cute high heels I can’t walk in for more than five minutes.
Hardest thing about being a writer:
Learning all the systems – KDP, Goodreads, Ingram Spark, Bowker, Instagram, all the rules and guidelines for the above. It is endless and daunting!
Easiest thing about being a writer:
My first response to that was “there is nothing easy about it.” Upon further reflection, it’s the actual writing and creating…when its flowing and you aren’t worried about grammar and adverbs and commas, oh my!
Things you need for your writing sessions:
Peace and quiet. Time to ruminate which I do during a massage and in the morning hours between sleeping and waking. And I like a bit of time pressure.
Things that hamper your writing:
My husband at my office door with ridiculous questions when I am trying to concentrate. My son FaceTiming when he cannot find something. The social media rabbit hole I take myself into!
Words that describe you:
Genuine, wise, funny, smart, and she swears like a truck driver but with a very classy style.
Words that describe you, but you wish they didn’t:
That I am too nice or too soft.
Favorite foods:
Linguini in white clam sauce, ribeye steak, pecan pie and ice cream, Vermont cheddar mac & cheese.
Things that make you want to gag:
Anchovies, super spicy stuff and boiled Brussel sprouts.
Something you’re really good at:
Making to do lists. Finding space for things that I shouldn’t be holding on to. Karaoke and dancing to electronic dance music. Unless people have been lying to me…
Something you’re really bad at:
Racquet sports, any type of coordinated aerobics, throwing stuff out and negotiating to get a better price.
Favorite smell:
When you open the windows during the first cool day and the breeze comes in. Or the smell of a ribeye sizzling on the barbeque, or pies baking…
Something that makes you hold your nose:
Cigarette smoke, sewage, the smell of weed, and bad broccoli.
Things you’d walk a mile (or 5) for: A good charity, to burn off the pecan pie, to meet my dearest friends or family, to greet fans of my book.
Things that make you want to run screaming from the room:
Cockroaches, mice and all fast flying bugs.
Favorite places you’ve been:
Edinburgh, Tokyo, Rome
Places you never want to go to again:
China
Favorite books (or genre):
Dark or steamy or erotic romance, and romantic suspense.
Books you wouldn’t buy:
Horror or true crime.
Best thing you’ve ever done:
Finished a book!
Biggest mistake:
Choosing the wrong date in the Amazon system when setting up the pre-order for my book! Only one revision is allowed – so I landed unexpectedly on a January 17th release date!
Some real-life story that made it to one of your books:
I don’t think I can say it here.
Something in your story that readers think is about you, but it’s not:
That I did the same research as my FMC to write my book!
About Luce:
Luce Sutherland has been reading juicy, erotic romance since before it was mainstream... when you couldn’t hide behind a Kindle, and you had to bring the illicit book to the register - and be judged by the cashier.
When those books became harder to come by, she resorted to writing her own stories about dominant, delicious, alpha heroes and the bold, sassy heroines they aimed to tame.
Luce lives with her own alpha husband in the Sunshine state, even though she gets sunburned walking from the car to the grocery store.
She is passionate about living each day to the fullest, which includes nurturing authentic friendships, savoring Maui coffee, and indulging in Scottish gin. Luce is also a devoted advocate for the benefits of self-care.
Her motto is LIVE LIFE JUICY - and you can find out more by signing up for her juicy blog.
