Interview with Mo Pirela

Published 2015-08-02.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
I prefer to read ebooks on my phone though I often use my tablet to do so as well. Both seem to work well for me and my busy lifestyle.
What book marketing techniques have been most effective for you?
I am not sure about the best marketing techniques as I just published my first short story. However, I will follow up on this and continue to hone my marketing skills to get more notoriety and begin writing more content.
Describe your desk
My desk is a glass top steel desk I purchased on line. Its actually quite messy, but that's okay because I do most of my work on my tablet or phone whenever I have free time. I am usually only at my desk to complete the tasks that I am unable to do or find challenging to do on my phone.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in a small city on the coast of North Carolina. I think growing up as a small town girl helped me grow a very vivid imagination and a love for fiction. When I learned that I was gay I was instantly intrigued by erotica. My love for reading and writing added to the experiences I have gained over the years have really influenced why and what I write in a creative and original way.
When did you first start writing?
I first start writing in public schools. I wasn't necessarily concerned with my penmanship, I just knew I wanted to learn how to write what I wanted to say and read whatever was in any book. I learned very quickly and begin writing everywhere and trying out new words all the time. My riskiness with words often got me into trouble as I also learned when it was appropriate to say certain things.
