Goodreads asked Karen Nappa:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Karen Nappa Karen: Knowing that other people like the stories we have to tell may be the best part, but neck and neck with that is the connection with Nappa. We started off writing as almost a joke, and then we were just going to see if we could write the book. Then we got as far as we’ll see if a publisher likes it and along that road somewhere came characters and ideas for other books. Now we’re finishing our third book and we know each other better than ever. We met in person for the first time on release day for the first book. We write truly long distance. We keep our work in the cloud so we can each add to it and comment on what the other has done and then we Skype chat to decide how to make things better. I couldn’t do this without her. I’d be still sitting and looking at a blank screen or a blank page. It takes both of us to be one writer.

Nappa: I love the bond I have with my co-writer. I’m invested in our characters and they feel real to me, through them and with them I experience wonderful things. I love writing about BDSM and showing readers these things exist and happen to real normal people. And speaking of readers, the most rewarding about being a writer to me is the feedback we get from our readers.
