Interview with K.J. Burkhardt

Published 2015-05-01.
What are you working on next?
I'm currently working on a short story involving a guy and his childhood friend who happens to be a girl. While never becoming romantically involved themselves, she convinces him to join her in a yoga class to clear his mind from a recent and painful breakup with another girl. What neither of them know is that the class she signs him up for is a risque and erotic 'couples yoga', and soon one thing leads to another.

What will I be working on after that? That's tough to say. I'd like to finish 'The Sextacular Adventures of Amazing Girl: Episode 4'. It's the last part of that storyline and I've put it off for way too long. But when an idea comes to me like the one above, I can't ignore it and rush to get it down on paper before it slips away, even if another book I'm struggling through needs to be shelved for the moment. This sudden idea happened with my last two books 'Turning the tables on my Cheating Wife' and 'The Bad Neighbor 2'. I actually had both ideas come to me in a very short period of time, and I started and finished both books in less than four days! I had never even contemplated a sequel for The Bad Neighbor, but when the idea for it came to mind I couldn't ignore it.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I've always had a creative mind, and been writing short stories ever since I was a kid. I used to think that I would need to submit a thick manuscript to a mainstream publisher and hope that it would get approved. Just the thought of doing all that work, paying whatever fees were involved and being rejected was enough to keep me from pursuing my dream. When I discovered (by accident two years ago) that I could self publish my writing, it felt like I had just been freed from prison. Now I write on my own terms, about what I want to write.
Erotica wasn't my first choice, to be sure, and I'm still working on several full length novels that deal with other topics. But the stories were easy to write and didn't require massive amounts of work to tell the story. Plus I've always had a twisted and perverted mind :) as you can tell from the stories I already released.
When do you think enough will be enough with your erotic writing?
While I don't have a specific number of titles (or goal) I'm trying to reach with my erotic books, I would still like to dabble in erotica when my current stories are complete. Like I said earlier, if something comes to mind that I think will make a good erotic short story then I'll probably write about it. I've already received requests from numerous people who suggested various ideas, but mostly with requests for additional parts to existing titles.
What do you read for pleasure?
I do read for pleasure, but not as much as I used to. When I'm not at work or taking care of the family, I spend what free time I have working on my own books. I actually avoid reading other people's erotica. It's not that I don't think they're any good, but I don't want something I read from another erotic author subconsciously influencing my ideas. What you read from me are undiluted and 100% straight from my own imagination.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
There are so many older stories I love that I don't think it's possible to pick out just five. 1632 by Eric Flint comes to mind. Its a sci-fi type of story involving time travel, but the characters really connected emotionally with me. I thought the author did a superb job at telling the strife and hardships suffered by the people of central Europe during the 30 years war. when a young German girl finds love in the protective arms of a man from the future, it had reduced me to tears to see them so happy.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
My greatest joy in writing has been watching an idea of mine come to life before my eyes. I like that I can take the characters in any direction and end their story on my own terms.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
I usually read on my phone, but that can be difficult at times. I prefer doing my reading on a laptop, but most of my reading is done while waiting around, and having a laptop handy is just not feasible.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
Smashwords has allowed me to reach a much larger audience than I initially thought possible. They have been a great boon to me and the success I've had so far.
Are you offended when someone gives one of your titles a bad review?
Not at all. Everyone has their own opinion of what is or isn't very good. I've read plenty of books that I absolutely loved that had gotten bad reviews, and others I didn't think were so great that are best sellers. When it come to my books of course I'm thrilled when I see a positive review, and equally saddened when I see someone didn't like a book I wrote. I understand my writing style and ideas may not resonate equally with everyone, my only desire is that a review is honest and constructive.
