What inspires you to write romance books?
Truthfully, i'm a romantic at heart. I'm the kinda girl that dreamt of the fluffy white dress and the prince charming waiting at the end of the aisle for her. I'm also a little jaded though and my characters reflect that. After reading romance for most of my adult life i became tired of the sweet virgins falling for the billionaire badboys. Dont get me wrong, i still love those stories. I just wanted something a little more realistic. I wanted something that didn't encourage women to strive for something that simply does not exist. Lets me honest, this is 2016 and i wanted my romance to show that.
Tell us about how you write:
I have a young son so my writing is strictly an after dark activity. Its a little hard to get into a charcater when you have a three year old asking for a snack. I'm a terrible planner too so i pretty much just wing the whole thing. I do get moments of inspiration throughout the day though and always jot them down in a notebook. I'm a stationary addict so there are always plenty of those on hand.
Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
No. My characters do tend to take on a life of their own though. A story never ends up the way i pictured it in my head at that first chapter.
What advice would you give other writers?
Just write. Dont second guess yourselves and just do it. I'm a doubter and tend to delete and rewrite a thousand times before i find something i'm completely happy with. It just holds me up and it definitely a flaw.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I had multiple offers from book publishers however Forever Love was very much my story. Liv was completely based on myself apart from a few details. I wanted full control over everything and the only way i would have gotten that was self publishing.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Self publishing is totally the future. Is it a good thing that anyone and everyone can now publish and sell a book? I'm not sure. But it's definitely changed the face of the publishing industry.
