What sparked your
interest in becoming a romance writer? Reading it. I’ve
always enjoyed mysteries and suspense titles, but I especially enjoyed the ones
that had a romance included. This led me to pass the mystery and suspense books
and into romantic suspense.
What is your writing
environment?
Messy! Notes and research surrounded by inspirational photos that frequently
change.
Do you plan all your
characters out before you start a story or do they develop as you write? I sketch my
characters out, but they don’t always stick to my plans. For example, in Revenge, Olivia Foster was
supposed to be a damsel in distress while the Police detective was drafted as
an Alpha male. What happened? Olivia became daring and not one to be led,
and the lead man decided that his background needed to be front and center,
making him pensive, brooding, and someone I didn’t know.
Which authors have
caught your interest lately? Scott Springer because Bound by Blood took
me into deep suspense and didn’t let go, and Sarah Varland because Treasure
Point kept me reading into the late hours!
How did you get the
idea for this particular novel? It came from an old photo featuring nothing
more than conveyer belts and one worker assisting another. The theme of
assisting stuck, and my brain automatically went through scenarios and thus
Revenge was quickly conceived. However, the end result is different than what I
saw it to be at that time. It’s amazing
how things change on their own.
