Amy Klaus I like to go for a walk and talk myself through the scenes and situations I'm working on. It helps to clear my head and get me excited for writing again.
Amy Klaus I love the process of discovering who these characters are and what they want. In the process of writing, the characters and situations come to life for me. Bringing their world to life is the best part of writing for me.
Amy Klaus Don't give up.

I'm just starting out, but the biggest hurdle I've had to face is discouragement. Frustration with my own weaknesses as a writer, self-doubt, and harsh critiques from beta readers have all tempted me to give up. I'm so glad I didn't.
Amy Klaus I have several projects going on right now. I'm working on a short story for my blog that tells Miranda and William's love story. It's a definite challenge, since theirs is an arranged marriage, but not to worry, love can be found in even the most unlikely of situations.

I have Book 2, Matthew and Alice's story, drafted and ready for revisions. Still working on a title, but I'm excited to share it with you soon!

And if that's not enough, I've written a few chapters of Book 3, which will be a prequel to Hearts Unshackled. Building on the Prologue, it tells how Felix and Ameline depend on their love to survive their brush with slavery.
