What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Carolyn Rae Read some good books on the writing craft like Scene and Structure by Jack Bickham, the Power of Point of View by Alicia Rasley, and Beginnings, Middles, and Ends by Nancy Kress. Join a writer's group and get critique partners to read your work. Keep writing and submitting. My first novel to get published was my 13th. I consider that a lucky number now.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

How do you get inspired to write?
Carolyn Rae I just came from a writer's conference where I spoke to three agents who were interested in the novel I finished. I'm working on a sequel to Romancing the Doctor, which will be called Romancing the Vet. Dogs will be used to smuggle drugs into the country. Right now I'm planning how the bad guys will chase the hero, heroine, and her dog to get the drugs back.
