decided easier guided suddenly
I'm truly, 100% guided by the characters and my Muse. If one of the characters suddenly decided to do something very different, I'd just go with it. It's much easier to let the Muse drive than for me to try to steer.
added bonus books easily gives neat promo reach social targeted twitter writer
Thanks to social media like Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads, I can easily reach out to so many people. Being a writer gives me the added bonus of a targeted audience: readers, who enjoy targeted 'prizes' for participation in fundraisers - books and other neat promo items.
annoy fell life pieces time
I couldn't write a female who fell to pieces every time something didn't go right in her life. She would just annoy me too much.
until
I'm up before 6, but then I'm parked in front of the PC until noon.

The 'Love Undercover' series features two cops, a street rat, and a construction worker as the lead heroes.
books finish good home inspire kitchen lake location office pc since stories
I don't need the water to be inspired. My stories inspire me, not the location of where I'm parked. And good thing, since I've had to finish books in airports, in the RV we used to have, the lake house, while on vacation, at home, in the kitchen when my office PC was on the fritz.
animals help support themselves
I think it's very important to support those who can't help themselves - children, animals - and especially to do so in your own neighborhood.
amazing background came heard helped peace perfect similar suffered
After 'A Perfect Storm' came out, I heard from a young reader, who had suffered a similar background as 'Arizona,' that I had helped her to find peace. That was the most amazing thing in the world to me.
cruel definitely love writer
I definitely could not write a character that was cruel or unconcerned with animal welfare. For me, not just as a writer but for the person I am, I love animals.
enjoy groups interested love share sort talking
I enjoy talking to groups who are interested in the writing process or the industry. I never teach - because truthfully, I don't know how it all works; it just does. Sort of magic-like. But I love to share my experiences and perspectives.
days large remember spoke time
I remember the first time I spoke to an editor. I thought I'd be sick, I was so nervous. The first time I spoke to a large group at a conference, I had the jitters for days beforehand.
care charity clean extended family helping time visit work
The charity work is just a part of what I do. Like... I make time to clean my house, to care for my pets, to visit my extended family, because those things are important to me. Same with helping others.
certain children intrinsic
There are certain things I couldn't write because they're not intrinsic to my beliefs. For instance, I couldn't write a hero or heroine who didn't put children first.
characters contracts hoped house leave plenty previous publishing secondary stay tend work
There are plenty of secondary characters that I had always hoped to write, but I don't know if it will ever happen. The way contracts work, if you leave one publishing house for another, the characters tend to stay with the previous publishing house.
