1.) What is the first book that made you cry?

Romeo and Juliet.


2.) Does writing energize or exhaust you?

Writing can both energize and exhaust me. If I'm stuck and can't come up with something that seems natural it's exhausting.


3.) Have you ever gotten reader’s block?

Yes. Nothing a cup of coffee couldn't cure.


4.) Do you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?

I want to be more original. My characters in the Villain series are all unique. I even tried to write in their accents. If I'm writing Wayne, I want him to be as Irish as it gets. I don't want you to hear one voice in your head. I want you to live the book.


5.) What’s the most difficult thing about writing characters from the opposite sex?

I have to remember men and women don't think the same. I find myself studying people without realizing it.


6.) What was your hardest scene to write?

The last chapter.

7.) How long on average does it take you to write a book?
I'd like to think it takes a couple of months, but after editing it takes about half of a year.

8.) Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?
With the Villain series each book ties into each other. I am also writing a stand alone. It will be contemporary romance and not tie into the Villain series at all.
