I was fortunate enough to land an interview with a great newspaper, The Examiner.  In case some of you missed the interview, I’d like to share it.

Seriously Reviewed

` 

Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity.  I am thrilled you asked me for this interview.

`   

Serious Questions – please use these questions to tell readers about you – the author and your books. Serious questions with serious answers. Choose up to 5 from the list.

`   

What is your favorite thing about being a romance writer?  My favorite thing about being a romance writer is the ability to make up characters and situations in my head.  I love to get my characters into as much trouble as possible, then see if I can get them out of it.  There is no better job in the world!

`   

When writing your description of your hero/ine what feature do you start with? Eyes, age, hair color, etc?  I usually begin with the most unusual or striking feature.  For instance, in my book Innocence Lost, Megan has violet eyes and that is typically the first thing someone notices about her.

`   

Is there anything special you do to get in the mood to write?  For some odd reason, when I listen to Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, and most classical music, this puts me in the mood to write.  I may also read a book that strikes a chord and puts me in the right frame of mind to write.

`   

Are you a plotter or a pantser?  I’m actually a little of both.  I create plotlines for my stories, then just let my characters fill in the blanks.  When I tried to plot an entire story, I found my characters usually had different plans, so I just gave up and let them have their way.  For instance, in my forthcoming third book, Innocence Found, I had no idea a shot was about to be fired upon the hero in the park until it happened.  That allowed for an interesting and somewhat inconvenient attempted murder charge to be inserted into the plot.

`   

If I was a first time reader of your books, which one would you recommend I start with and why?  Well, I would recommend a first time reader start with the first book in my series, Innocence Lost.  Although each book in the series is a stand alone book, they are in chronological order.

`   

Are you Serious Question – these are fun, quirky bits about you. Answer with a single word or go into as much detail as you want. Choose up to 5 or come up with some of your own.

`   

What song would best describe your life?  Love Rollercoaster by The Ohio Players from their 1975 Honey album.  No question!

`   

What’s a guilty pleasure you have?  Chocolate and shopping.  Okay, that’s more than one, but I couldn’t decide which one to put down.

`   

What sound drives you crazy?  When someone eats with his or her mouth open.  Arrgggg!  I can’t stand the smacking!

`   

If you came with a warning label, what would it say?  Warning!  Anything you say and do can and will be put in my next book!

`   

What’s number one on your list of things you hope to do before you die?  Be on the New York Times bestseller list.

`   

I hope you enjoyed the interview.  If you could ask your favorite author a question, what would it be?
