Get Inside the Mind of Author Tim Dittmer (@TWDittmer) |.
As I was stumbling around this crazy world of social media, I was lucky enough to bump into Eden Baylee, one of those charming, refined people that makes you feel at ease in just about any situation.
Eden writes modern romantic erotica (not the Fifty Shades kind, but the Anais Nin kind), and like everything else she does, she does it with style.
She was gracious enough to ask me to do an author interview on her site, and the results are posted today.
Stop over and take a peek.
Thanks, Eden.
T. W. Dittmer 
My pleasure to have you as part of my interview series, Tim. You have a great sense of humor, and it’s refreshing to see that part of your personality come out!

Great interview, Tim. I feel like I know you a little better. (Though maybe I need to stress the word little a bit more…) Someone is going to have to start sharing more and talking themselves up some, and I’d come up there and get in your face about this, but I don’t think it would end well. It’s the quiet ones you really have to watch, after all.
Anyway, I’m just glad you put up with my constant prodding and pushing and for whatever reason like me enough to answer my emails. : )

I always enjoy an interview with you, Tim. Maybe I should send my cranky interviewer your way and see what happens. 😉 A French speaking mongoose eating potato chips on the beach – more tidbits to add to the T.W. file. 🙂

I took Latin at some time or another. The similarities on the page are striking, but nothing sounds as cool as French.

I agree. You and I have been on the same page with this for quite a while. My two years of Latin set the stage for wanting to learn French – which is my heritage. I love the sound of the language.

I know. They have that vibration going at the roof of their mouths. Then they do the eye thing and wave one hand dismissively. It’s too good.

Great interview, Tim. I loved your answer to ‘what quality do you most admire in a woman?’ Well said! 😀

Well I do get distracted. I won’t deny that. 😉 But once I get my mind in the right place, the quality I most admire is the same.

That was hands down one of the most entertaining interviews I’ve ever read in my life. You are such a hoot, and she came back with all the right moves.
I loved that you kept your mystery through some of those hot seat questions. (golf clap)
P.S. Washing dishes wrangles my creativity flow, too.

She’s nice to work with. Made me feel pretty at ease, even though I get all wormy about such stuff.
I don’t know what it is about doing the dishes. In the summer I like to wander the yard and think, but it’s cold out there right now. 😉

Hey, Annie.
It was weird for me, but I decided to have fun with it. Eden’s a pretty sophisticated lady, but she took my goofing around well, didn’t give me any flak about clamming up.
You be good to that kookaburra. 😉

Right now Tim you should see the wind and rain we’re having..extended our stay at the beach by a day because we can’t drive in it! All birds in hiding…
Back to the interview – I admire how you keep your biggest regret and greatest fear to yourself. I know it can be hard on a person mentally but it’s also not easy to do – takes mettle that.. That and your admiration for your mother in law – can’t beat that 😉

Congrats on the interview~ very cool. And I don’t think you’d be a good idle rich fool. They’re shit writers.
I like that Mom-in-law is your hero. One of those unexpectedly close life relationships that make a great story even if it’s only shared between the two of you.

I used to see the mongooses (mongeese? 😉 ) hanging around the beach all the time in Hawaii. We’d feed them nuts and stuff, like park squirrels.

Finally got around to reading this. I hate it when things get stacked up, and you know they’re going to be good, and you’re just trying to find a moment to get round to it. 9pm on a friday night! And before you’re thinking I should get out more, I’m trying to message you and tell you how awesome you are before I hobble off down the street in my heels to meet my boyfriend and friends for a drink.
I also wanted to say that I was going to order the book and would love to do a review on my site in a couple of weeks. I want to start reviewing self published books from from a perspective that gives a more writerly critique, rather than just a synopsis of the novel. That way it’s for readers and writers, and it makes it a review that people can learn from as well as read without thinking something is being shoved down their faces. Anyway, that drink calls 😉
