My husband is from the South and a proper gentleman. When I first started visiting his hometown, it was a bit of a culture shock. Not necessarily in a bad way, it's just different from the Pacific NW, where I'm from. I thought it would be fun to write about it in a fictional way. The characters are in NO WAY BASED ON MY IN-LAWS. I probably should have stressed that before they read the book...

I'm not really sure. I went a long time without writing once my daughter was born. I start to get restless and ideas start whirling around my head. When that happens you just have to write them down before you forget what they were!

I decided to revisit my characters from Disillusion Meets Delight. It is far in the future though. They have kids, husbands and life is a lot more complicated. Things are a lot different when you get out of your twenties!

Just do it. Get your computer out and write. Don't get hung up on worrying about rejection. Totally easier said than done, I know, but when you focus too much on the negative side of it all you won't be able to move forward.

When I have writer's block, I just have to step away. If I'm stuck on something, I get most of my ideas when I'm relaxing. Relaxing for me is usually laying down next to my kids in a dark room trying to get them to fall asleep. It's kind of my happy place.
