I’m participating
because I have a free book promotion coming up September 24 and
25. It’s Time of Death. I hope you’ll take a
look.
The blurb: Artist
Alex Jenrette is visiting on a small island off the South Carolina coast when
she draws a murder scene—she has the McGuire psychic
streak. The police think she was there and want to arrest her; the killer
believes she’s a witness and wants to eliminate her. The prosecutor can’t get
involved with her or he’ll risk his case.
1) What am I working on?
I’m putting in

3) Why do I write what I do?
These are the stories
that come into my head. I don’t want to be limited to meeting the expectations
of a particular genre. I know some readers are disappointed, but most seem to

way. I’ve had a foot in both camps—two very good publishers that I enjoyed
working with, and now self-publishing. Maybe I’m a control freak, but this
works for me.
4) How does my writing process work?
Slowly! I need
quiet, so I write early in the mornings, but it often turns into an all-day
session. It’s easy to get carried away with research, which I enjoy, but it can
easily changes the direction of the story. I’m a pantser, which has its rewards
but unfortunately requires deleting sections and reversing to make something
work. I keep thinking I’ll outline the next one and work out the kinks ahead of
time, but so far that hasn’t panned out.
Next up!
