What’s the best thing about being a writer?
Michelle Deerwester-Dalrymple Right now, just seeing the ideas come to life. I enjoy answering the "what if" aspect of the story. Hopefully, the best thing will eventually be a trip to Scotland -- I'll call it research!

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Michelle Deerwester-Dalrymple I am a HUGE fan of Diana Gabaldon, and her writing style and the story stuck with me since I first read Outlander in 1993. After reading many, many other romances, I noted that some read so well while others left me wanting. I said to myself, I can do this, and so I did. It took me 10 years (ah!) to get this book to publication, but a second in the series (yet a standalone) is in the works - I am about 60% done with the initial writing, and I hope to release it in January. I am a bit late to my romance writing, shelving any large scale writing for nearly 20 years as I worked as a college professor and raised my kids. Not enough time for all the words!
