Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?
Annie Adams I don't have one favorite, but lately I've really loved watching re-runs of Remington Steele and one of my favorite couples, Remington and Laura Holt. They solve mysteries together, he's charming, she's smart, they have great adventures together. Both of them also have flaws, and yet they are still attracted to each other.

I love the humor and familiar feeling that comes with knowing the logistics. It makes the book so fun. I love the main characters. Would you consider using more of the city surroundings in your next book (s)?. Please keep the series going.
Annie Adams Aww, thanks, Susan. Great suggestion. I love reading about small towns in my favorite books. You'll definitely read about some of the landmarks and businesses of Hillside in the next book!

How do you get inspired to write?
Annie Adams What really works for me is hanging around or listening to other writers or reading a book that I just fall in love with. After my chapter meetings or conferences with Utah Romance Writers of America or with the national RWA convention I want to rush home and write. Sometimes when I need to get working on my current WIP and I'm just not feeling it, I will search for author's names on Youtube and listen to them talk about writing or the latest release and it gets the writing blood flowing again.

What are you currently working on?
Annie Adams I'm working on a Christmas novella, which is trying to turn into a Christmas novel! It will pick up where we left off from Deadly Arrangements. This one may be a little different, as there won't be a murder mystery involved this time.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Annie Adams Pretty much the entire process can feel as if I have writer's block the whole time. There are usually some transcendent moments where the words fly out of my fingers through the keyboard, but those are few and far between. Usually it's the slog of writing even though I have no ideas. A good writer friend of mine has told me to sit down with the intent to write absolutely worthless garbage. Sometimes I will even call her and ask permission to write crap. Usually, after a few sentences the ideas will come. It's often about turning off that internal editor, which is a very difficult proposition. The editor really enjoys her work. It's difficult to get her to take a vacation.
