Did you always want
to be a writer? When did you know you wanted to pursue writing as a career? I
have always been a story teller, but I never considered being a writer. Then
one day I was watching the Twilight Zone and these people were transported from
earth to another planet. Something happened to me. What would happen if a
spaceship landed in Grant Park (a huge park in Chicago)? I had to write this
story. After I wrote You Are Mine, I
sent it to an editor and she said it was good. I’d caught the writing bug, and
the rest is history.
Tell us about your
writing “cave”. Are you organized or messy? Do you have a dedicated place
to write or do you have to go to the local coffee shop for quiet time? I have a
quiet room in my home. It has a television in it, but it is rarely on. I like
to create in complete silence.
Will this story be
a stand alone or are you already plotting a sequel? You Are Mine is a stand alone. I don’t know if I have the mentality
to write series. I’m the type of person who likes for the entire series to be
out, then I purchase the whole thing and read it. I can’t imagine writing a
series. I can’t write fast enough. It would drive me crazy.
Was the hero
fashioned from someone you know or was he a fabulous manifestation of your
imagination? D’Jarus is fashioned after
my ideal man (except the being from another planet thing). He’s strong,
handsome, confident, intelligent, Alpha, yet not so much so that you want to
strangle him.
I took a look at
your website and I love the blurb for this book. Can you share the blurb with
our readers?
In the hundreds of
special assignments Erica Morgan has worked, there was nothing that prepared
her for waking one morning on an alien spaceship. More surprisingly, her captor
and adversary, the leader of this mission, is the one man who could make her
want to leave her home planet and embrace a different life.
D’Jarus Commodore
doesn’t want a wife, but his planet is slowly dying, and their salvation lies
in the people of Earth. As leader of Darien, he chooses to make a sacrifice and
be the first to marry a terran. His captive bride, Erica, is like no other
being he has ever met. At first sight he knows he must have her, but for
obvious reasons—he did kidnap her after all—she resists him every step of the
way.
