1. What is your favorite Autumn Time activity? I love walking through places where trees and shrubs turn those lovely shades of burgundy, gold, and orange, and I also love those evenings when we sit around the fire pit outside and roast marshmallows or just chat.
2. What is one of your writing quirks? In order to write, I need to listen to soft, new-age-type of instrumental music–nothing with lyrics or percussion. I can write to silence but music is much better.
3. Which of your books was your favorite to write? And why? The Guise of a Gentleman was the easiest to write; it felt like I just ran around after the hero typing what he did and said. A close second was Unmasking the Duke, for pretty much the same reason, but also I relate with the heroine; she’s clumsy, shy, and gets migraines. I don’t have an older sister, though.
4. Who is the person or group of people who most support you in your writing? What have they done for you? The Beaumonde chapter of RWA has been critical to my writing success because I strive for the most possible historical accuracy and they are a great resource for information and pointing me to reliable sources.
5. What is your trick for getting past writer’s block? And what advice would you give to others who are struggling? Sometimes I just need to step away and take a break. If that doesn’t help, it’s often because I don’t know the characters well enough or they don’t have enough goals, so I develop their backstory. Usually, I learn something about them that helps with secondary goals or more compelling motivations that helps me continue writing.
6. Autumn time has its own set of foods/flavors. What is your favorite Autumn comfort food? Spiced caramel apple cider is the best Autumn comfort drink, and my favorite autumn foods are all the soups that I don’t make all summer long. My favorite is potato soup with cheese and ham. Yum! It’s a tradition to serve that to my family before we go trick-or-treating.
