Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Ainsley St Claire is a Contemporary Romance Author and Adventurer on a lifelong mission to craft sultry storylines and steamy love scenes that captivate her readers. To date, she is best known for her debut “naughty Nicholas Sparks” novel entitled “In A Perfect World.”
An avid reader since the age of four, Ainsley’s love of books knew no genre. After reading, came her love of writing, fully immersing herself in the colorful, impassioned world of contemporary romance.
Ainsley’s passion immediately shifted to a vocation when during a night of terrible insomnia, her first book came to her. Ultimately, this is what inspired her to take that next big step. The moment she wrote her first story, the rest was history.
Currently, Ainsley is in the midst of writing an eight-book series called “Venture Capitalist.” The very second installment will be available September 1st, 2018.
When she isn’t being a bookworm or typing away her next story on her computer, Ainsley enjoys spending quality family time with her loved ones. She is happily married to her amazing soulmate and is a proud mother of two rambunctious boys. She is also a scotch aficionada and lover of good food (especially melt-in-your-mouth, velvety chocolate). Outside of books, family, and food, Ainsley is a professional sports spectator and an equally as terrible golfer and tennis player.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I’m working my way through the Venture Capitalist series. It is an eight-part series that came to me in my sleep. I like to think that I’m as strong as Emerson, as independent as Sara, sexy as Hadlee, fashionable as Greer, smart as Quin, confident as Cynthia and as good a friend as CeCe. And if you don’t know these characters, take a look at the Venture Capitalist series. You’ll be glad you did!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have no shame when it comes to writing. I have a full-time job and two young boys who have a dozen activities. I write on planes (steamy parts, too) and my boys are at the point where I drop them off at sports and activities and since I refuse to be a helicopter mom, I will bring out my computer and write. I write in my car often and get a lot of my best ideas when I do.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love Ivy Layne, Bree Dahlia, and Erin Swann.
What are you working on now?
I have just finished Hadlee and Cameron’s story called Desire which is due to be released in September 2018. I’m putting the finishing touches on my December 2018, release which is Greer & Andy’s story…Secret Temptation. And I’m working on the audiobook of Forbidden Love.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Do you have any advice for new authors?
The easiest part is writing the book. Spend the money to have someone you don’t know edit your books and take the time and spend the money to promote them.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
People don’t buy brands they rarely have heard of. So by promoting your books, people will begin to hear about you and may take that chance to spend $0.99 on your book.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Good question! I hope to finish the Venture Capitalist series by the end of 2019. I have two other series that are niggling at my brain so I’m not sure if I will write my next series in the political world or the fashion world or maybe something else will come to me.
What is your favorite book of all time?
The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway.
