1. Do you write a single genre or do your fingers
flow over the keys creating tales in many forms? Does your reading choices
reflect your writing choices? Are there genres you wouldn’t attempt?
When I began writing about five years ago, I
didn’t know about genres. A story came to me about a woman whose husband walked out after forty
years of marriage and she didn’t know how to put herself together again.
Survive and Thrive became a theme for a while; romance with suspense in contemporary
times. Titled To Be Continued refers
to the heroines life
2. I love
them all. My daughter once told me to write a heroine readers will love and I
listened. Then the heroine eventually longed for a hero. I wrote him in. You
taught me about conflict and I’m still learning. Early on I discovered a
villain and loved writing him into the story. What a thrill diving into his
devious mind to watch him in an attempt to destroy lives. Perhaps evil lurks in my heart to write such
characters every so often in the midst of romance..
3.
Heroines and hero’s: Imagination
is the key to all my characters. I see them, know their names, how they walk
and talk and let the story play out scene for scene.
4 Villains or villainesses or an antagonist, since they don’t
always have to be the bad guy or girl. They can be a person opposed to the
hero’s or heroine’s obtaining their goal. How do you choose one? How do you
make them human? In Sin of Omission,
flying by the seat of my pants as I always do, I ended up with a male and
female bad person. The man had mental problems; the hero eventually lassoed him
as he came close to his goal of destruction. And then a woman, involved in
porn, came to Haven as to a temporary sanctuary. Former companions tracked her
down, a shootout ensued and The End. All in the midst of romance and a struggle
for love.
6. What is your latest release? Who is the hero, heroine and or
the villain? Farewell, Hello is the
title of a recent release. Innocence in 1948 when Joy Davison and Danny Wilson,
high school sweethearts, fall in love. He leaves for pilot training in San
Antonio, Texas and all hell breaks loose. Tune in for the further adventures of
what happens next.
7. What are you working on now?
Housebroken is the title. No, it’s not about a dog. The story deals with
empty nest syndrome and how a long married couple begin life with just the two
of them in a smaller house in a friendly town. You know me, Janet. I write
fast. Housebroken was released a few weeks ago and now I’m writing book 2 in
this series. No title as yet. The friendly town is River’s Edge upstate NY
about thirty miles north of Rockland County.
