Yes, I will do that right away. Thank you for your question. A good reminder that I haven't done it yet.

My books always have a strong female lead. I address a lot of real-life issues and struggles which are inspired by things I witnessed or heard about in my life. My upcoming summer release, for example, focuses on entitlement mentality and that some people believe they deserve everything no matter whether they put forth the effort and work. Since it is set in the 1800s it also addresses the treatment of women in that time period.

It depends. Some I see pretty clearly, some are a blur. Some I can picture, but I can't describe them.
Rebecca Lange
That's a good question. Perhaps, why do some people believe they can say and do whatever they want, but get offended and bend out of shape if you do the same in return? A great mystery indeed.

I don't do horror, but I can do humor. ;)

I would go to the Kingdom of Cantley (from my novel "Plane Crash - A Journey to the Heart) and would love to explore the castle, participate in medieval games, and attend a real ball.

Not so much on my reading list, but it is my goal to finish book #5. "Not Without A Fight" is a western thriller and I am editing it as I type. Here is a teaser:
“Let me be very clear with you today,” he whispered into her ear while she felt his warm breath on her neck, which made her shiver with disgust. “I always get what I want. You can either choose the easy way or the hard way, but you will be mine in the end.”
“I will never be yours; trust me. Now let go of me.” She angrily tried to get out of his hold, but he only pressed himself closer to her. Now she started to panic. She just wasn’t physically strong enough to fight him off alone. How she hated him. How she hated men who only saw women as a pleasurable toy.
Hazel Buchannon’s whole world collapses when Robert Michell, her fatherly friend, mentor, and reverend, suddenly gets transferred, and a younger clergyman takes his place in Willamette Falls. Things change drastically in their town, and Hazel, who always felt safe and protected on her father’s ranch and their town, is now subject to threats, attacks, and several attempts of kidnapping. To the men in her life, one thing is clear; someone is trying hard to get to her mentally and break her happy spirit. The tormenting seems to be working because fear is now her constant companion.
As Hazel takes on the law to fight for women’s rights so she can legally inherit her father’s ranch, a new evil epidemic is spreading across the country. Abusive Husbands and fathers sell their wives and daughters, and women and children as young as fourteen disappear from their towns and homes. Men everywhere do what they can to protect their loved ones, but the evil outbreak continues to spread. When Hazel finds herself yet again in an attempted kidnapping situation and ends up being choked to nearly unconsciousness, she realizes how serious this threat is and that she is one of the many targets.

Wait it out. Writer's block can be super frustrating, and I experienced that with my fourth book. It will end eventually though, and then the thoughts will flow like crazy. "Plane Crash - A Journey to the Heart" was not easy to finish. I knew how I wanted it to end but wasn't quite sure how to get there. I stayed away from it several times before I finally finished it. The past few months have been so rewarding and many great ideas still find their way into my book and mind.
Rebecca Lange
Seeing a thought and idea turn into a story and book is amazing to me. I remember when I first started out with my Heavenly Bodyguards trilogy. I only had the thought of guardian angels in my head, yet it turned into a beautiful unique story.
Rebecca Lange
Don't give up. Trust me, I have been there, but continue to go for your dream and develop your talent and gift. Writing can be challenging and frustrating, but I find it also beautiful when a thought turns into a big story. If you love it, pursue it.

Currently, I am working on a book called "Plane Crash - A Journey to the Heart". That one took me a long time to finish, but I am now editing it and loving the story. It is about a young man who survives a plane crash and ends up at a different time. He meets a group of young people who are on a quest to rescue their kingdom from a tyrant king.
Rebecca Lange
I just love writing. It always starts as a small idea or thought and develops quickly in my head into an actual story. Writing is my favorite way to express myself.
Rebecca Lange
I am working on two books right now. The ideas just popped into my head. The newest one I am working on, used to be just for myself. I always try to write about current and real issues in my book to bring attention to it. The research is fascinating and shocking sometimes. One idea of the second book, which I am editing right now, is based on a true story. It happened to my grandmother during WWII.
