Blurb:
Eye Telling is an erotic romance.
Katherine Newheart is engaged to her dull fiancé, Matthew O'Connor, who's just been made a partner in Katherine’s father’s law firm.
When she meets The Boy alias Benjamin Riley, everything changes. Katherine tries to hold back, keep her usual control but it fails because Benjamin is everything that Matthew isn’t and that makes him everything that Katherine needs and wants. He awakes her in more ways than one. Katherine ends all tangled up in a steamy hot and passionate love affair with Benjamin. She tries to break if off with Matthew but all of a sudden, he turns into a complete monster and starts being violent towards her, threatening her about some fatal information he has about her family. Katherine can’t stay away from Benjamin, even though she’s perfectly aware that she might jeopardize it all but her love for Benjamin is strong, stronger than her own control. But how strong is Katherine's control when it all comes down to it? Is the passionate love between her and Benjamin enough for her to start doing things just for her or will she end up in her controlling way again?

About The Author:
Hello, as you probably know already, my name is Maja. I’m 28 years old
and live in Denmark.
I want to share a little bit about myself and my private life because I
want to stay true to who I am and that’s being open and honest.
I’m a single mom to my precious son, Tobias. He’s my blessing and
teacher in life – that may sound a little weird but he’s shown me so much,
thanks to him, I’ve learned how to fight and to keep on fighting. You see, my
son is very sick from some unknown illness and doctors have given up but I
haven’t and I will never ever give up.
Last year I read the Fifty Shades book series and loved it, obviously
who didn’t?! Anyways, it got me thinking that maybe I should start writing
again and let my imagination run wild. I started writing on another story,
actually, from a man’s perspective but then Eye Telling came creeping in my
mind and I started writing on that instead because I wanted to create a story
where the lead male character isn’t a rich and career-minded man in an
expensive designer suit but instead a regular but HOT guy who’s not as
fortunate. He has a youthful clothing style and tattoos. He had a hell of a
childhood but his ‘demons’ isn’t standing in the way of him wanting to be with
Katherine (the lead female character).
In this story Katherine is the one who can’t seem to commit.
I never thought it would develop into a full length novel, but somehow
it did and I’m so proud to have published my very own romance. It’s been a
sweet escape for a sometimes rough everyday life and I can’t wait to share more
of my stories.
XOXO Maja

Author Interview:
Where did you get your inspiration for writing Eye Telling?
Well, I actually started writing on another story where the story was told
from a domineering male’s point of view but all of a sudden Eye Telling just
came creeping in my mind. I needed to tell a story where the lead male
character wasn’t some rich, suit kind of guy and the lead female character was
all secure in her life (or so she thought).
How much of your personality and life experiences are in your writing?
People who know me and have read my book will definitely be able to spot
the humor in the book as it’s the way I am, very ironic. Katherine’s favorite
wine, Obsession, is mine too, I’ve tried feeling trapped in the wrong
relationship – unfortunately I never met someone like Ben. I try to put a lot
of myself in my writing but without giving too much away and also there has to
be room for my characters since they are pretty demanding LOL
What kind of research do you do? And what’s the craziest thing you’ve ever
done in the name of research?
To be honest, the only thing I tried to research for this book was
location. I wanted it to be located in Atlanta, USA to begin with and did talk
to a friend who lives there but it just became too confusing with the streets
etc. Then I changed it to ‘wherever you want it to be’ because I’m a firm
believer that if an author uses a certain location, he/she needs to know
exactly what they’re talking about, otherwise it just loses the point and
people living in that exact location would get annoyed by it.
What’s in your TBR pile?
Cameron Lincoln with “Perfect Pleasures – an anthology of romantic erotica”
Lisa Fulham with “Out On Business”
Also I really want and need to re-read the Fifty Shades trilogy!
Playlists for books is becoming very popular….do you have a playlist with
your books? And what is your favorite type of music?
Yes, I actually do have a playlist for when I write.
I create it so I know it will capture the right writing mood. Also my
characters become much more alive when listening to music, I hear their dialogue
and their feelings come to me more vividly.
My favorite music? That’s difficult for me to answer because my taste in music is very varied,
depending on my mood, what I need to write about etc. I can listen to Marilyn
Manson, The Gracious Few, Disturbed, Stone Sour, Kings Of Leon, Frank Sinatra,
Eva Cassidy, Mads Langer, Norah Jones, Birdy, Donna Lewis, Shoes For Julia and
so forth.
Do you have a particular writing routine once you start a book?
No I really don’t, I just let the words flow. But I do drink a lot of
coffee.
What’s the most difficult part in writing?
To find the time to write! Being a single mom to a handicapped son forces
me to write on weird times and some days I don’t even get time to do so.
What comes first for you? The story? Characters? Or setting?
The characters – their dialogue with one another and what he/she wants to
share with me.
If you weren’t a writer, what other path might you have followed?
I have no clue. Before I became a mother, I had so many different dreams, I
still have that but having a handicapped son did require for me to let go of
some dreams because being a teacher in a kindergarten or a school was a dream
but I simply can’t handle that due to my son. He needs me in so many ways that
I don’t have that extra energy for other kids like that. I know it might sound
a little mean or weak but it’s not meant that way. I just really want to be the
best mom to my son that I possibly can. So right now, I’m at home (Just home trained
my son for a little over a year but now he has started in school, a special
class. I’m going to study January 2014 (to become a secretary or receptionist).
But I have just volunteered myself as a candidate for the disability
council in our city because I do have a lot of passion for children who needs
extra help in their everyday life and I’ve tried (still do) the system failing,
not helping or supporting families where there’s a special need child. We need
to change the way the system sees these kids! They deserve the world and they
are not less worthy than others!
What are you working on right now?
I’m currently working on the sequel to Eye Telling.
So what kinds of things do you do for fun?
I love to dance with my son, lift him up and we just spin around and around
in the living room. I love to spend time with my Bestie, watch cartoons with my
son.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Oh I have several places I would love to visit but my top 3 must be:
1: Just the UK in general, I have so many people there I need to meet.
2: Would love to go to Toscana, Italy with my Bestie, Anja. Just to relax
and eat a lot of delicious food and drink red wine.
3: USA! Again, so many lovely friends from Twitter I would love to meet as
well.
If you were stuck on an island and could only have one type of food and one
other “object” what would they be?
Is coffee food? Could an “object” be my son? If not, I’d definitely bring my computer so I
could write.
What are your feelings toward Zombies?
I don’t think I have any feelings towards them LOL
Do you have any words of inspirations for aspiring writing?
I’m pretty new to this writing world as well but all I can say is just be
YOU! Trust your gut and go with whatever feels right for you and your
characters. Don’t let anyone try to change the style of your writing. Write with
your personality!
