I am an indie-published author of both contemporary and historical sensual romance. I have been an avid reader of both genres since I was a tween. Interestingly, I never really contemplated writing one until a particular day (in November of 2006), out of pure frustration, and after having read Julie Garwood’s THE BRIDE for about the millionth time and wanting DESPERATELY to know the whole story of Mary (the sister of heroine) and Daniel (the friend of hero), that I finally thought: “I’m just going to write the story for myself, so that every time I read this book again, I’ll always know what happened to the sister.” Well, needless to say, it only took me about 5-10 minutes into the writing of it to realize I had NO idea how to write like Julie Garwood, nor WHAT Julie Garwood would do with her characters (another source of frustration, I might add—I still wish she’d write that sequel!) However, the germ of the idea was set and I ended up writing a completely different story purely springing from my frustration in not knowing the other characters’ story! As far as how long I’ve been writing, well, I’ve been keeping a journal since I was a pre-teen and in my teenage years I wrote a lot of poetry. Funnily, I always had the itch to write fiction, but when I tried sitting down to just write a short story or something, I could never keep my own interest—not until I tried my hand at romance. Then, for me, it was like reading a romance as I wrote it. I loved it, loved the process, and still do.

2012-04-20 Thanks SO much for the feedback, Krissy. As a writer, I toss my line out and never know whether I'll reel a reader into my make-believe world or not, so when I hear from someone whom I have managed to do just that with, I'm THRILLED!
Right now, I'm concentrating on getting my medieval Highlands trilogy out, but after that, I plan on writing another contemporary. D&T was my first foray into comedy, and, honestly, it was purely accidental, so I, too, would like to do another comedy sometime--it's up to my muse (or deep subconscious), or whatever it is that brings the idea into the conscious realm. =D
