Questions

Why do you write murder?

I often ask myself that…and the answer is that is the only plots that occur to me. I simply can’t write a story with just a boy and girl falling in love. I admire writers who can.

It’s always worried me that I always have a dead body in my books…but I finally decided to go with the flow and do murder.

What’s the best way to get started writing?

Join your local RWA (Romance Writers of America) chapter. Go to the national site and find the chapter closest to you. www.rwanational.com/

Do you like critique groups?

I do like them. You get immediate feedback on your writing. You also get people who know your work and can help you with plotting points, motivation, and other aspects of writing. But critic groups aren’t for everyone. If it isn’t a positive experience for you, don’t continue.
