For instance, I passed through Vegas a couple years ago and had dinner with a group of men who'd been in the military with me. One of them was recently divorced with a ten-year-old daughter, and I overheard him say how tough dating was when you had kids. The other man told him to just wait until the girl turned 13 - "There's nothing more judgmental than a thirteen-year-old daddy's girl. Every woman I bring around is too fat, too thin, too tall, dresses badly, has crappy hair, no taste, and everything else the little brat can think of." I immediately wondered what would happen if he brought home someone 5-7 years older and the kid said something ugly to the woman, dad and daughter have a fight and the kid takes off. If that kid got in some type of trouble and the only one who could save her was that woman - what would that be like for both of them. Just like that, I knew I had a book, and Saving Emily was born. Most of my books are based on a question like that. Thank you for asking.(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

The sure way to resolve the problem is to sit down with one of my friends and tell her the story and let her ask questions. I often don't know what I want to do until I hear the wrong thing. Example: Her: Does your heroine live with her uncle and aunt. Me: No. In a guest house on their ranch. Until she asked the question, I had no idea where my heroine lived or why it would be important.(less)

Going to Audible

It took us some time to come to Audible. I say us because I rely on my friend and publisher as well as Mr. Scott to help me with this type of decision. I like to write—I don’t much care about the business end of crap. When we looked at doing audio books several years ago, the upfront costs, back end royalties, and some questions about book rights and long term exclusivity left us with too many que
