Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy is my favorite fictional couple because they overcame great difficulties to be together, and their strengths and weaknesses compliment each other and make them a great team.

I am currently working on a proposal for a Civil War Romance series. I was asked by an editor to come up with some scenarios for potential heroes and heroines, so that's what I'm digging in to now!

The book I just finished writing was inspired by a trip to Cedar Key, Florida. It's a quaint town on the Gulf of Mexico with less than 1,000 residents and it just screamed to be the setting of a book.

I need little inspiration. I'm always overflowing with ideas and can't wait to outline a new novel and start writing. For the days I'm not as motivated, I read. That usually gets me back in the mood to write.

Don't get discouraged! Keep writing. Keep submitting proposals. Continue to study the craft of writing. Be prepared for a story to be meant for the Indie route instead of traditional publication. It can sneak up on you.

I love putting down on paper the crazy thoughts that are in my head and the freedom writing gives me to express myself. And I love meeting new people by connecting with readers.

I usually switch my focus to something else for a while. I catch up on my social media, I read, I do housework or cook, I go somewhere. I do not sit and stare at a blinking cursor. The blinking cursor is not my friend. It stares at me and teases me and says, "You've got nothing, right? You don't know what to say. You should just give up." So, yeah, I move away from that thing and concentrate on something else for a while.
