do you have a sequel planned? what's your publishing schedule like. will it be a rewrite of another of your stories or will the sequel come next. (obviously skewed question)

I'm not sure when it will be out, but it isn't the next book...I think we all (myself included) need to breathe a little and have some fun before diving back into something heavy. Not everything I write is drama, so I think the next book will be a warm and fuzzy...and I think my readers need that. I know I do. :)

My publishing schedule is very much dependent upon when I'm happy with the work. My goal is to get out a book every 6 months, but that's only if the quality is there. I refuse to put out sholck for the sake of a timeline. That cheats you, me and the genre of lesfic.

There is a good chance I will rewrite previous works...what was available for public consumption was all rough draft material, which will sit aside for a while before I pick it back up. In the meantime, I'll be working on other new stories.(less)

Hi! Just wondering, Blake was a physician so there are several medical scenes in Loved and Lost (especially the ER, office and that nice inguinal ligament anatomy lesson :). Anyway, it was written in a way that made me think you had a medical background rather than just being a good researcher. Did I guess right? Also would you consider writing medical romance/fiction?

Stephanie E. Kusiak Hi Tristan,

Yes, you guessed right! :) I do quite a bit of research, but before writing I did work in the medical field which gave me a nice foundation…moreHi Tristan,

Yes, you guessed right! :) I do quite a bit of research, but before writing I did work in the medical field which gave me a nice foundation for Blake's work life and personal life. Specifically, I worked as an EMT on an ambulance and did rotations in an ER. For a hot minute I thought about going back to get an advanced degree and becoming a paramedic, but that would have lead me down the path to becoming a firefighter, and though I could have done it...I didn't have the will to run miles upon miles a day or up and down flights of stairs. (I'll save that for the zombie apocapypse. lol)

In a similar vein, I've had experiences where I became very emotionally attached to my patients and I've often toyed with the idea of a romance evolving out of a hospital stay. I'm sure it happens in reality...so why not in fiction. My background in ER work as well as knowing many firefighters lends to something along those lines.

I could see someone falling in love with a beautiful heroic firefighter who is injured...and the firefighter falling in love back after being taken care of. ;) ((I might have thought about it a little and might have an outline and characters drafted already...maybe...))(less)
