In this episode of Literary Lines: Interviews with Indie Authors, GiGi Meier chats with the extraordinarily talented Engrid Eaves, a contemporary romance author known for her cowboy and mountain man love stories. Writing under two pen names—Engrid Eaves for steamy romances and E.B. Silva for sweet, closed-door tales—her work often features multicultural and interracial characters, like her latest release, Gifted to the Mountain Man.

From her rapid release strategy to her passion for music, culture, and education (yes, she has a master’s degree and a PhD!), Engrid shares how her rich life experiences inspire her diverse love stories. GiGi and Engrid also dive into her writing process, her favorite part of being an author (hint: she loves editing!), and how her real-life romance feels straight out of a storybook.

Although the conversation sped by and was cut off at the end, this hour is packed with fascinating insights, and GiGi promises to have Engrid back soon!
