I’m Stella, Author & Publisher of 40 Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels. I’ve been married to my too-hot-to-handle, sexy husband for over 23 years, we have two adult children to God’s glory and live in London, UK. My romance stories feature sexy heroes who have hearts and souls and curvy heroines who are smart and know what they want. My lively, flawed characters who on their quest to find love will elevate your pulse rate, make your heart skip here & there, so that you’ll laugh, shed a tear sometimes and gasp for breath as their story unfolds. If an emotionally intense happy-ever-after is what you want coupled with a sprinkling of life lessons, turn to chapter one now & start reading. When I'm not writing, I'm having a laugh watching movies with my honey-boo, swimming like a star fish, or on mom duties with my grown-ups, or praising God in my own corner of the world. I dare you to read any or all of my steamy romance stories. I’ll love to hear from you.

#BlackAuthorsMatter ~ #AuthorInterview with Amaya Black

  


      WELCOME TO BLACK AUTHORS MATTER ~ INTERVIEW!!!



I'm Stella & I write Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels.

Keep in touch with my new releases on Amazon.


Hello Romance Lovers, 


Welcome again to my Series on Black Authors Matter. After my New Release; Longing for You: A BWWM Sweet & Steamy Romance hit Amazon US #1 New Release in African Literature on June 1st 2020 and became a #1 Amazon US Best Seller on 17th June 2020, I decided to start a movement to promote Black Romance Authors or Authors who write about characters of colour. Let me also add that Longing for You was also #2 Amazon UK Best Seller in African Literature!


In the past several weeks, I've showcased one black romance author after another and their great books.


Now, relax, get yourself a drink, fold your legs as you curl up on your sofa because you are about to meet the number 24 Black Romance Author on my list. Her name is Author Amaya Black

Author Amaya was born and raised in Virginia, but she currently lives in Carolinas for 10 years now. 


AUTHOR: Amaya Black

BOOK TITLE: Broken: A Dark Mafia Romance

GENRE: Dark/Romance/Suspense

RELEASE DATE: August 1st, 2020

WORD COUNT: 50k





Drum roll please...

 

We want to know a bit about your family life.

 

They say write what you know and so I do. I don’t just write interracial romance I live it; my partner is white and always asking if my male characters are based on him (sometimes they are but I tell him they’re not because he’s nosey). I’m also a mommy to a little boy who loves to ask me how my books are going while he play nearby on his Ipad. And I have a fur baby named Messy; she’s a pitbull and scared of plastic bags, brooms and pretty much anything moving to fast for her liking.

 

 

What drives you to write romance stories?

 

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. Me and my best friend in the fourth grade were reading and writing romance stories about divorces and finding second chances. I’d always planned to be a writer hence going to college to major in it. I think the driving force behind it is I just love the action of watching two people fall for each other…that initial excitement gets my blood flowing.

 

 

Do you have hidden messages woven into your stories?

 

Sometimes I do and some times I don’t. A lot of times in my books you’ll see a woman go through a miscarriage or have a terrible pregnancy. Again, I write what I know and I’ve experienced that horrible pain. In some ways writing about the worst pain I’ve ever experienced from the view point of a character has been really therapeutic and freeing. However, those women characters, much like I did, still wind up picking themselves up and dusting their shoulders off. Hopefully that’s the message I’m leaving to persevere even when its hard.

 

 

What’s the best thing about your writing and publishing routine?

 

The best thing about my writing routine is sprinting. If I say to myself just work for 20 minutes and see what you get, usually I’ll keep plugging away at the task and wind up with a larger word count.

 

 

What steps did you take to publish your first book?

 

I didn’t really take any. I literally wrote a book and through it on Amazon and made about one red cent. About two years later I came back and had no fear and really started pushing my work.

 

 

How did you come up with the idea for your recent book/Who’s your favourite character and why?

 

 

For my most recent book, Broken: A Dark Mafia Romance….I wanted to combine two things: mafia and dark sexual tendencies. My favorite character though has to be the main character’s little brother Des. He offered a good amount of comic relief but he was really a back ground player. Loved him to bits but who knows, he might make a pop up in the next book.

 

 

What’s the hardest thing about the publishing process?

 

For me the the hardest part of the publishing is after the book is published. Making sure you’re promoting and pushing your book is just as important as writing it.

 

 

Why should a new reader buy your book(s)?

 

If you want good dialogue, action and sexy Alpha males…I have you covered. Oh, and not to mention, strong black females!

 

 

Working on a new book/project?

 

I’m currently in rest mode but the next ideas for a spin off from my last book is brewing. I’ll be getting started on that in another week.

 

Brag about any awards or badges.

 

I won a $40,000 scholarship to my university for writing called the Creative Talent Award.

 

 

Any thoughts on Black Lives Matter Movement?

 

Bring justice to Breonna Taylor and her family!

I stole from the wrong mob boss...

 

I had no idea whose house it was that I was breaking into. I wasn't given a choice on who my marks were.

 


Liam Safaryan is a cold-blooded monster. The idea of him makes me want hide under the cover and never come out. And yet, when he touches me...my flesh yearns for every single sensation he offers.

 

After one crazy chance encounter, my world changes. Its turned completely on its axis as Liam becomes obsessed with me.

 

See Liam has never met a woman like me. I play by my own rules.

 

He wants to do everything in his power to break me, to make me submit.

 

But not if I break him first.
