Q. Writing any other series? Have any ideas?
A. Yes, we have a few ideas brewing for another series. Considering a young adult series with high schoolers, but it hasn’t been fleshed out enough yet.
Q. Do you consider your books to be romance novels?
A. I don’t actually. They aren’t heated or erotic. People who tend to look for high tension romance novels with shirts flying off every three seconds or villains that make you cringe probably won’t like The Unspoken Series. My writing is more character-driven. It’s more internal. The characters struggle with life and learn to love in the process. It’s not quite as angsty as some other romance novels out there. But I am who I am and my writing reflects that. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s fine. As long as one person is touched by the story, that’s worth it for me.
Q. How often do you write?
A. Every day. At least 2000 words. Most of the time more. I write constantly. My iPhone is synced with my iPad and iMac. Gotta love all these gadgets. I can write anywhere, anytime, and it syncs with all devices. So it’s great. Makes it easier and when I’m inspired, no matter where I am (in line at the grocery store), I can start writing. I love that … although like Ella, I’m a little old-fashioned myself. I’d absolutely love to relive the 1800s alongside Ella.
