If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?

Hang in there – it will happen. Also, study the market. Also, PICK ONE. Don’t try everything.

(Having said that, I’m glad I did try everything. I wish it hadn’t taken 25 yrs to publish, but I don’t regret any of the books I wrote in that time.)

How did publishing your first book change your process of writing?

Working with editors, on deadline, is terrifying, but does motivate me. I don’t like to show my unpublished work to anyone, but after I got over the fear, I discovered I’m quite comfortable with my editor(s.) I enjoy the partnership of offering my best effort, then hearing this or that needs punching up. I don’t take it as failure. It’s a joint effort to fix any weak spots and I feel better about my work after I’ve applied her feedback.

What was the best money you ever spent as a writer?

Long before I published, when writing was something I was mostly dreaming about and not doing, I happened on a book about to be returned by the book store owner. It was called “Getting the Words Right – How to Rewrite, Edit and Revise” by Theodore A. Rees Cheney. It was close to $20 which was a lot back then, considering I was only aspiring to write. But it was a crash course in clean writing. I credit it with teaching me HOW to write.

What authors did you dislike at first but grew into?

That’s a loaded question! Honestly, I cut my teeth on the early and very British Presents. Nora Roberts had a completely different approach. Her heroes weren’t complete alpha-holes. I always knew that picking up one of her books would be a quality read, but I was more attracted to the brooding, ruthless heroes by other authors at that time.

Tell us a bit about your book...

Sheikh’s Princess of Convenience is classic Presents! When Galila threatens to spill a secret Karim’s been hiding for most of his life, he compromises her reputation, then corners her into marriage to ensure she reveals nothing. She’s feisty and independent, but a virgin. They spend a hot night in a desert tent after a sandstorm and she ultimately saves him from his own brooding self. Fun fact: this is Book Three in a multi-author quartet called Bound to the Desert King with Tara Pammi, Maya Blake and Caitlin Crews.
