b>About the Author<\/b>
\nD. L. Given lives in Ohio with her husband Bruce<\/p>\n
What inspires you to write romance books?<\/b>
\nI didn\u2019t intend to write a romance novel, but some believe that the close relationships of the characters may have led the story in that direction.
\n\u201cVital Perception\u201d is the second book in a two book series following \u201cThe Elder Effect\u201d.<\/p>\n
Tell us about how you write:<\/b>
\nI use no outline a take very few notes when writing. The storyline and the characters fall into place as the book progresses.<\/p>\n
Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?<\/b>
\nWhen I am writing, the characters walk in and out of the story as if I am watching them on television. When a new character is introduced it\u2019s because I felt something or someone was missing.<\/p>\n
What advice would you give other writers?<\/b>
\nJust finish it!<\/p>\n
How did you decide how to publish your books?<\/b>
\nThere are so many avenues to choose from. I guess it depends on what you are expecting and the amount of time you are willing to give.<\/p>\n
