'Do you like to read romance novels? Wouldn't you like to know more about your favorite authors? Well you came to the right place! Join the writers of Romance Weekly as we go behind the scenes of our books and tell all..... About our writing of course! Every week we'll answer questions and after you've enjoyed the blog on this site we'll direct you to another. So come back often for a thrilling ride! Tell your friends and feel free to ask us questions in the comment box.'

When writing your novel, do you know how it’s going to end before you write, or do you write from start to finish?

Never. I try to outline, really, I do. It never works out. Somehow, it always ends up going in another direction. I always say that my books are character driven. They do the writing. I am only their instrument. I always sort of have an idea about how I will end things, though, mostly because I usually write in the opposite direction. I write scene by scene and then fill in the gaps. So if the end comes to me first, I write it and work backward. 

How do the people you know impact your writing? Are you influenced by friends and family for your characters?

Definitely. I will take little characteristics, etc, sometimes without realizing it. I'll sit back and say, hmmm, he/she is acting like so and so. It's never intentional, but it's inevitable not to I think. 

 Describe the hero in your current WIP in three words.

Dangerous. Devious. Dedicated. ~Vince, Damned Sinner

Devious is the best characteristic of a hero I've heard yet. Just think of the complications. Love it!

I can't outline either. I tried it once and created such a mess that I couldn't figure out what in the hell was going on. The characters started arguing and I couldn't take it. :)

Gah... Yes, Stephen... I can't get enough of this man. And yeah... Delicious is such a given. I wonder who the dumb broad is that limited us to three word descriptions! Damn it! lol
