Interview with Erin Lockwood
What
inspired you to write Angles - Part I?
I first wrote Angles as a short story
for my husband highlighting all the crazy things that happened at the beginning
of our love story. I discovered how much I loved to write and I had this urge
to embellish and go crazy with my imagination. With the short story, I held
myself back and stuck to the facts. But when I was done I saw that it would
make a wonderful contemporary romance, except there wasn’t enough drama,
antagonists and the characters weren’t flawed enough. So I rewrote it and it
grew to three times its size. I added antagonists, new controversies, new
characters and I changed the character profile for the main characters. What I
got in the end was a drama packed novel.
Can you
tell us a little bit about the next books in the Angles Trilogy or what you
have planned for the future?
I’m working on three manuscripts right
now and Angles - Part II is one of them. I plan for it to be released August
1st later this year. The story will pick up where it left off with Sam and
Cara. Their relationship will develop and there will be a lot of secrets
uncovered about Sam and Teddy’s past.
Can you
tell us a little bit about the characters in Angles - Part I?
Almost all of the book is told from
Cara’s perspective. She is by far a flawed damsel in distress, but I felt as if
her character is very relatable for twenty somethings. Nobody is perfect at
that age! She has anxiety issues born from a traumatizing experience she and
Teddy shared years ago. It affected her so deeply it's debilitated her to some
degree, and she relies on Teddy - maybe to an unhealthy level. Teddy is a great
friend but maybe too good of a friend. He just got married to Anna and should
be focused on starting his married life with her, but instead he seems to care
more about what’s going on with Cara. Sam is a very strong male lead character.
He is gorgeous, strong and protective. He’s a brilliant business man and he
only has eyes for Cara. He’s patient but always calculated and in control. The
chemistry between Sam and Cara are off the charts!
You
know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and
why?
I love so many of Katy Evan’s books, I
think I love ALL of Colleen Hoover’s, but my favorite is probably Jamie
McGuire. For starters, Beautiful Disaster is my favorite contemporary romance.
I could read it over and over. It has all the elements I love about a novel. I
think what I love most about Jamie is her generosity to help those who haven’t
made it yet. Not everyone who has success feels compelled to share their
secrets and help others. That’s something I think is very special about her.
If you
could time-travel would you travel to the future or the past?
The future! My husband makes the
future sound so great. He gets so excited about technology and the benefits of
the
singularity, space travel, self
driving cars, living forever, etc. I’ll go anywhere with him, and I’m positive
he would go to the future :)
Do you
have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?
We do!!! This past November we got a
little teacup yorkie. Her name is Libby and we all love her so much. She’s not
even four pound s and so full of love and kisses. I’m one of those dog
moms, I put bows in her hair and carry her everywhere :P
Thanks for taking time out of your
busy schedule to visit with us today.
Author Bio:
Erin Lockwood grew up in Castro Valley, California and attended the University of Oregon, where she graduated in 2003 with a degree in journalism. From there she moved to Denver and spent the next seven years searching for the love of her life and building the family of her dreams.
It wasn’t long until, with children starting preschool and more time on her hands, Erin refocused on her career, beginning with a successful entry into the world of residential real estate as a Realtor. Free time was spent reading book after book (and binge-watching the subsequent films) in the New Adult genre. Feeling hopelessly in love with her husband, she wrote him a short story leading up to their fifth wedding anniversary. That’s when she discovered her tireless passion to share her experience of falling in love through fictional characters. That story evolved into the first novel in the Angles trilogy.
Erin still lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband, Phil, and their three children.
