What inspires you to write romance books?<\/b>
\nI’ve always enjoyed romance on television and in movies. I decided to write, "Kissing the Intern" when I reconnected with the love of my life and co-author, Julia Perez.<\/p>\n

Tell us about how you write:<\/b>
\nI am a disciplined writer. When I\u2019m working on a project, I write almost every day. I like to audio record my writing and then I transcribe the scenes into Word and improve them. I plan extensively before starting a novel, including a full plot outline and detained character personalities.<\/p>\n

Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?<\/b>
\nI like to play act the characters with my writing partner. I think that it makes your characters more real and it allows you to make them come alive on the page.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give other writers?<\/b>
\nLearn your craft. Writing romance is much different than other genres, and you must understand how to make the reader want the characters in your novel to get together.<\/p>\n

How did you decide how to publish your books?<\/b>
\nI like to self-publish because you get full control and more royalties. It’s all about marketing. If you can market, then you don’t need a publishing company.<\/p>\n

What do you think about the future of book publishing?<\/b>
\nI think that self-publishing and indi-publishing will increase in the future.<\/p>\n

What genres do you write:<\/b>
\nMulticultural Romance, Fantasy, Paranormal Romance<\/p>\n

What formats are your books in?<\/b>
\nBoth eBook and Print<\/p>\n
