Linda wrote: "Last question....because you know I just had to ask lol

So what’s it like writing a sex scene? ;)"

I HATE writing sex scene with a passion! The only way I can do it is at night with the right kinda music on. I once got some advice that said write the climax and work backwards.

Heather Davenport - What is the next book to release!"

I'll never tell LMAO. I'll have one out this fall and also a re-read of Finding Us.

Linda wrote: "How has publishing your first book changed your life?

Was being published like you thought it would be?"

Publishing my first book was a dream come true. I had this idea in my head that maybe a handful of people would read TNTYL. I never thought in a million years that thousands of people would LOVE it and continue to love it.

Publishing is so much more than I thought it would be. I've made a career out of it and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Emily Goodman - Why did you choose to write Jackson and Chloe last? When writing did you outline the entire series or did you just plan on one book?

Do you plan on writing anot..."

Jackson and Chloe weren't really speaking to me at first but now they are and I know EXACTLY where the story is going.
I haven't outlined a single story for the Love Series. Every time I've tried it turns course and I completely lose the direction I had planned.

I have a secret book I'm writing now...I could turn into a new series.

Ashley wrote: "what do you do if you get writers block"

Read and watch movies. I tend to find when I busy myself with something else I can get rid of the block.

Linda wrote: "What’s your worst quality?"

Hmmm I tend to type fast and not go back and reread. I try doing to many things at once.

Linda wrote: "Reader Question #4

Cheyenne Sutherland - If you could change one thing about any of your books, what would it be?"

I don't think I would change a thing. The books that I have written are my blood, sweat and tears.

Linda wrote: "OMG! That is an awesome golden rule. I can't even imagine trying to discuss that in detail with family lol."

HAHAHA My mom is the worst

Linda wrote: "Has anyone in your family read your books? And if yes what was their reaction?"

A bunch of my family members have read the books. I have a rule though...you can talk to me about the books all you want but the sex scenes are off limits. LMAO!

Linda wrote: "Reader Question #3

From Shelley Youngblood - What is your writing style? Do you write linear, plot or something different?"

I'm a plotter. As long as I have the plot in my head everything else just flows. I've tried outlining but it doesn't work for me.

Linda wrote: "Any strange rituals or superstitions that you follow when you are writing? Favorite food or drink that you have to have and/or music playing?"

Music has to be blasting in my ears or I can't seem to form a sentence. I have to also have something super cold to drink with lots of ice.

Ashley wrote: "which female is your favorite character out of your books"

Hailey is my favorite because she's such a firecracker.

Linda wrote: "Reader Question #2

From Jennifer Wolfel - Will you be writing the sequel to Forever Light anytime soon?"

Some of you may have noticed that I pulled Forever Light. I'm reworking it so that it's a full standalone.
So to answer you question yes just not exactly sure of a date just yet.

Linda wrote: "Of your female characters, who is most like you?"

I would have to say MacKenzie. Hunter and MacKenzie's relationship is a lot like mine with my husband.

Linda wrote: "This question is from one of your readers....

Larissa Oakley asks - How do you come up with character names? Is there a specific routine or is it just random?"

I normally just do a Google search and pick random names. LOL. Last names are what really get me.

Nope I never thought in a million years I would become a writer. Never thought I was good enough.

It all started with a bad dream I had when I was pregnant with my son. I had an idea and just ran with it.

Ekk!!! I can't wait!!!
