Amazon Exclusive: Interview with Sylvia Day

After naming Sylvia Dayâ??s Bared to You a 2012 Best Book of the Year in Romance and devouring Reflected in You, we've been anxiously awaiting the release of the third book in Day's scorching Crossfire series, Entwined with You. To whet our appetites and make waiting for the book's arrival a little easier, Amazon Romance expert Alyssa Morris spoke with Day about whatâ??s next for Gideon and Eva, her upcoming collaboration with Harlequin and Cosmopolitan, her all-time favorite romance novels, and much more.

Alyssa Morris: Now that youâ??ve had a bit of time to absorb the success of Bared to You, does it feel real? Or are you still surprised?

Sylvia Day: I'm still surprised! Iâ??m glad Iâ??m a veteran and that Iâ??ve been publishing for close to 10 years, so I had some experience under my belt as far as dealing with it. But on the other hand, thereâ??s no way to anticipate writing something that becomes a global phenomenon, you know. I donâ??t know about other writers--I didnâ??t even dream about anything like that. I always figured that it just happened to the Stephenie Meyers and J.K. Rowlings of the world. So, yeah, I donâ??t think Iâ??ll ever get over being surprised that I had a series that struck such a chord.

AM: It just hit such a moment in our culture, where all of a sudden this is what everyone wants to be reading. Itâ??s an interesting confluence.

SD: Right. We always talk about that, about right book, right time. Random House released Fifty Shades on the same day I self-published Bared to You, so talk about the right timing. Justâ?¦ wow!

AM: Do you have a favorite moment in the Crossfire series so far?

SD: You know, I really loved the weekend that Gideon and Eva spent in the Outer Banks. These poor guys. When theyâ??re alone, theyâ??re fine. Life is perfect when theyâ??re alone. Unfortunately, they donâ??t get a lot of time alone. [Laughs] So I just love that. I love seeing them together away from all of the distractions and intrusions and everything else thatâ??s going wrong in their lives.

I canâ??t talk too much about Entwined with You because itâ??s not out yet. And thatâ??s so hard, because I so want to talk tabout it! But thereâ??s more alone time with Gideon and Eva as we move forward in the series and they grow stronger, so Iâ??m really enjoying that as a writer.
