I think that generally in first books, writers tend to base their main characters off of themselves, which was what I did.

You can tell a lot about a reviewer through their reviews. You can get a sense of what they like to read and things they don’t before you even send a review request. Some times I think authors get bad press because they chose the wrong reviewers.

I write for those with big imaginations and big goals, those who occasionally hit brick walls and know how hard it can suck to fail at something really important. Those who keep trying, despite their own flaws. I write for the dedicated dreamers.

After publishing two romance novels, I decided to start a series for plus-size sisters like myself called “Voluptuously Curvy and Loving It Series.”

It started off as a challenge to myself to create a character I could reuse in other stories … I wanted to create a character who is less intertwined with a single, definitive plot arc, who I could continue to write about and develop across titles.

As stylists, practitioners of the art and beauty of the English language, there is nobody better by my reckoning than Ernest Hemingway and Cormac McCarthy. I’m hesitant to say they’ve influenced me – that’d be like a first-year piano student claiming influence from Mozart – but if forced to choose a governing stylistic influence, they’d be it.

When I read something and an image in my mind forms, crystal clear, I understand setting, mood, emotions, and actions of the thing I’m reading, unaware at that point it is a book and I am there in my mind – then, I get inspired.

Note: I’d be remiss not to acknowledge Simon as the founder of The IndieView, yet during the time he was running the site he never interviewed himself. After months and months of begging, he finally agreed to do one. 🙂

I have a terrible habit of writing my characters into hopeless situations without having any clear idea how I’m going to get them back out. For me, this was the hardest part and the closest I came to what you might call writer’s block. Looking back though, I think it actually improved the book. I’ve heard several readers say how they couldn’t imagine how character so-and-so was going to get out of this certain situation. I always just smile and think neither could I.
