Creative Process Blog Tour

I'd like to thank the talented Lucinda Elliot, author of historical Regency fiction, for including me in this blog tour.

1. What Am I Working On?

I'm just about to start writing the third book in the Billionaire Brothers romance series, featuring Cole.

2.  How Does My Work Differ From Others In Its Genre?

Hmm ... that's a hard question.  My last seven romances have been about BBWs (big beautiful women) finding love with their very own hero.  My romances have been described as sweet and sexy. I don't have swearing in my books (except for an occasional "hell" or "damn") and I hope my readers find my sex scenes tasteful but hot :-)

3.  Why Do I Write What I Do?

I've spent the last 26 years reading romance, and when I bought a Kindle in 2012, I read a lot of erotic romance on it :-) and came to the conclusion that I wanted to share my stories with the world. Seduced by the Boss was my first series (erotic romance), then I decided to try the sexy contemporary romance genre, and I've been happily writing my sexy contemp romances ever since.

4.  How Does My Writing Process Work?

I only have limited time for writing, so I try to write a minimum of 1,000 words per day, five days per week.  I found Rachel Aaron's Kindle book, From 2k to 10k : Writing Faster, Writing Better, and Writing More of What You Love helpful in this regard. When I'm approaching a deadline, I do write six days per week to make sure my book is finished on time!

BLOG HOP!

Thank you, Diana Persaud for including me in this blog hop.

1.What're you working on now?

 Curves and the Rodeo Star, the fourth book in my Coldwater Springs series. It's a BBW Romance.  Release day is December 11, 2013!  You can find out about the other books in the series here:

 2. How's it different from other work in the genre?

I love writing BBW romances.  As a curvy girl myself, I know firsthand what dating is like for my heroines.

3.   Why do you write?

 Because I have to, LOL!  I've been writing since I was little. I've taken time off throughout the years, but once I bought my Kindle last year and read hundreds of short romances, I thought, I'm going to share my stories with the world :-)

4.  How does your process work?

 With discipline.  At the moment I can only write in my spare time, so the first thing I do when I turn on the computer every day is to write my 1,000 words.  I've found if I put off my writing until I've checked my emails, etc, I either run out of time or I don't feel like buckling down and writing.  

Sometimes a story idea will pop into my head when I'm doing housework, so I go and write it down, otherwise it can just disappear into the ether! And from that idea, I plot out a story and start writing.
