Where do you get your inspiration for your books? All of your books pull me in and I usually go without sleep to finish them. Lol. I greatly enjoy the suspense and story lines!
Christine Feehan
It starts out with an idea for a single book. All of my books can be read as stand-alone books because that’s my approach with my writing. As I write a book, I start to see the landscape of characters, places and potential.
I’m inspired by everything around me. The wind through the trees, a man in a restaurant leaning to whisper to a woman, the way an animal moves. Anything can inspire me. My Shadow series was inspired by watching my dogs run in and out of shadows. Life around me can inspire some wild ideas in my head.
Like I said, each book is a stand-alone story. You should be able to pick up any book, as a rule, and start reading from any point in the series.

I wrote a book Choose to Build High Self-Esteem. People suggested I change the cover and color of it to fit the subject. I did. It received a good rating. Then it was suggested I give it an attractive cover and shorter title. I have not changed the content. The amazon ASIN number has stayed the same. How can I get Goodreads to replace the cover of Build Self-Esteem and delete the old edition?

Are Lana and Alena of the 'Torpedo Ink' series close to getting books yet? Are they speaking out, wanting to be heard yet? The stories can be brutal for the members of Torpedo Ink, they have such fascinating backgrounds, and their books pull at ALL your heartstrings. I am really hoping to read a happily ever after for one or both of the female members soon. Will the women be harder to write then the men?
