Hello! *waving* Thanks for having me on the blog today. As one of the newer Princesses, Kathy sent me some interview questions to help me get to know all you loyal Plotting Princess followers! Yay for interview questions. Here's hoping my answers are interesting, if not charming.
How did you get from your day job to writing romance?
I’d always written, here and there. But I started, devoting most of my free time to my demanding characters, about 2 1/2 years ago. Writing helped me through a period of transition and grief – it helped me cope in a productive way.
What are your three favorite books of all time? I’m going to mention my 3 favorite romance novels – I have too many books that I loveOutlander – Diana GabaldonHeather and Velvet – Teresa MedeirosLily of the Nile (Song of the Nile too) – Stephanie Dray – she’s up for a RITA this year by the way (fingers crossed)
Morning, afternoon, or evening person?As a mom of four – I’m an ANYTIME writer.
Music--with or without? What kind?I believe in the power of a book soundtrack. For my Hollywood Contemporaries – I stick with Nora Jones, Michael Buble, that kind of stuff. For my Romantic Fantasies I use movie soundtracks – Gladiator, Immortals, Spartacus, you know, epic, moody stuff. I need music to really hammer out the pages.
First or third POV?Interestingly enough – contemporary in 1st and fantasy in 3rd. Don’t know why – it’s just worked that way so far.
