What do you enjoy most about your work?<br />
I absolutely adore when a reader enjoys my book. It’s like a pinch of satisfaction on a job<br />
well done. Of course, there will always be those that didn’t. It comes with the territory and I<br />
have learned to embrace them. I have found that just because a reader didn’t like one of<br />
your books, doesn’t mean they will never enjoy one. You just have to learn how to capture<br />
their heart, if possible. Sometimes, this happens. Sometimes, it doesn’t. It should make you<br />
a better writer.<br />
What inspires you to write?<br />
Everything. It could be a movie. It could be a flower. It could even be a conversation I was<br />
having with someone about a particular subject. There is this common joke that one should be<br />
very careful when talking to an author—as one could inspire a new book! I often laugh at that,<br />
but, it’s true.<br />
When working on a new book, what’s the first thing you do?<br />
I try to envision the characters in my head. I need to get a good look at them. I have them turn<br />
from side-to-side. I need to see them with their hair down or up, for that matter. This takes a<br />
minute, sometimes, it takes hours; but once I can see the characters, I can begin the story.
