Aaaaahhhhh my first paranormal romance book is now available for purchase and I’m all kinds of…
So, I’m going to do a little Q&A with myself which seems really narcissistic, but it’s my blog so I do what I want. LOL.
Why the switch to paranormal? Well I didn’t actually mean to. After writing contemporary romance for three years, I really wanted to write something high stakes. I’m talking life or death. I wanted something I could sink my teeth into, and so when I got this idea, I went with it. I had a couple of months “off” from deadlines this summer, and this was my “taking a break” project. I don’t think I understand what taking a break means.
How did you come up with the idea for the world of the Silver Tip pack series? Well, I’m not sure exactly. The characters came to me first. The first scene in the book where Reese meets Dare came to me out of nowhere. And everything about them felt… not modern. As in, they weren’t from this world, even a paranormal version of this world. I love apocalyptic novels, like The Road, and Kit Rocha’s Beyond series. And I knew I wanted… rival packs. But I also wanted them to have a common enemy… enter the Noweres, my version of undead werewolves, in a world where humans went extinct a century ago.
Did you always plan on publishing this? No. I wasn’t sure it would even turn into a full novel. But I was blocked from writing anything else until I wrote the first scene with Reese and Dare. I thought I’d leave it there. But they kept talking to me, and the world kept unrolling in my brain, until I had a complete 75K novel. And here we are.
