Personal Note from Author:
\nChiquita Dennie here! Thank you for supporting a new indie romance author. Anything you can do, whether it be writing a review, or even simply telling a fellow reader that you enjoyed my book means the world!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What inspires you to write romantic fiction?<\/strong>
I've always loved romance novels, even as a young teenager growing up. My mom would order books through the mail and I sneak around and read them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tell us about how you write.<\/strong>
My writing style changes every other day. Sometimes I like having music playing in the background or
\nthe Television. Other times I need silence for my thoughts to come clear.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Do you listen to or talk to to your characters?<\/strong>
I listen to my characters. As I go through and comes up with the first words they would say. Then just sit back and let the characters speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What advice would you give other romance writers?<\/strong>
My advice is to stay determined, don't let anything or anyone say you can't write a book. Keep a journal and plan out your goals and what you'd like to accomplish with each story.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did you decide how to publish your books?<\/strong>
I researched and looked up what my favorite authors did.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What do you think about the future of book publishing?<\/strong>
I think it's going in the right direction and showcasing that you don't need a major Publisher behind you in order to become a New York Times Best selling Author.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Which romance sub-genere(s) fit your stories best?<\/strong>
Women's Fiction, Interracial, African American, Contemporary, Erotic, Multicultrial<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My books are available in the following formats:<\/strong>
eBook, Print<\/p>\n
