Q: Who are you? Are you a real person?  
A:  I'm as real as you are, but Eve Lilas is my pseudonym. It is a name I use for all my fiction writing because I also write mainstream magazine articles.  It just makes sense to keep my two identities apart. 

Q: Don't you think writing about sex is degrading to women?
A: Every time I hear this I have to bite my lip to keep from laughing! Women are just as lusty, robust and sexually driven as men. We have earned the right to express our own desires and fantasies, just as openly and without shame or apologies.

Q: Sometimes what you write can be quite "raw," why don't you leave that part out?
A:  I include all the drama that exists in real life because it makes the story believable.  Life is sometimes very raw. I could make it seem prettier, but I think that the believability of my stories would suffer.  

Q: Do your ideas come from your personal experiences?
A: It doesn't matter if a fantasy is mine, as long as it's yours -because I write them for you. 

Q: I've heard that writers have to read all the time.  What do you read?
A: I only read fiction when I'm not writing it - and lately I'm always writing it.  I don't want my work to be influenced by the tone, style or voice of others in my genre so I ensure that it isn't by not reading their work while I'm in the middle of a project.  I do read a lot of memoirs though because they are very descriptive slices of life and help me to learn about alot of different lifestyles -it's sort of like pleasurable studying.

Q: We all have vices, what's your biggest weakness?
A:  Shoes.  I'm crazy about shoes, but I don't see them as a vice. I don't believe that pleasurable experiences should have guilt and shame attached to them.  As long as they are between yourself, and another consenting adult(s), it's not a vice or weakness.  If you love chocolate, have chocolate. 

Q: Where do you live?
A: Right now in New England. I've traveled to, and lived in, many different places though.

Q: If I email you will you answer me?
A: Yes. I love to hear from readers, but please don't email me if you're looking for a personal relationship connection. I'm sure you're amazing, but I'm not looking for a date, and just because I write fantasies doesn't mean I want to fulfill yours in person.  Please don't send me nude photos of yourself (pity that I have to say that out loud) or religious materials either.

Q: Do only women read your books?
A: No. actually about 1/3 of my fan list is made up of men.   I try to explore both the hero's and the heroine's point of view in my books so they appeal to both men and women.
