Meet Elissa Daye author of In Rapture

When you are getting ready to start a new book, what’s the first thing you do?  I try to think who my characters are going to be.  What do they look like? What makes them happy? What music would play whenever they are around? Then I start to write down some ideas for my plot, a bare bones idea of where I want my story to go. How do you celebrate when you finish writing a book? I tell everyone I know in my real life and my internet...

Meet Jill Campbell author of Celtic Rose

When you are getting ready to start a new book, what’s the first thing you do?  I call my Muse, Josh, and converse about the book until I get an idea for a great hook to start with. How do you celebrate when you finish writing a book? I dance around the house to Stronger by Kelly Clarkson. J Have you had any fun fan moments since you became a writer?  I have a fan I call a little squirrel because she likes or comments on everything...

Meet Terry Lee author of Saving Grace

Terry Lee When you are getting ready to start a new book, what’s the first thing you do? Characters begin circling in my mind. At some point I pull out my “Character Development Sketch” which is a list I put together to define my characters (looks, likes, dislikes, weaknesses, occupation, marital status and lately…what were high school years like?) My writing seems to be turning trans generational …by that I mean, what happened in one’s formative...

Meet Sheldon Townsend author of the Adept Series

S. Evan Townsend When you are getting ready to start a new book, what’s the first thing you do? Think.  I do a lot of what I call "pre-writing" where I think about plot, characters, setting, figure out where I want to start, where I want to go, how I want to get there.  All of my novels have started out as an idea floating through my brain with a thought of "What if . . .?"  Driving, going for walks, or showering seem to...
