UGH, this is such a good question because it's often something I face a lot. I have anxiety and beat myself up a lot-- over not writing enough, over not writing well enough, over taking breaks, over not taking breaks. It can be EXHAUSTING and DRAINING. On the release night of my most recent book (QUID PRO QUO), I actually had a panic attack. What I've learned is that I need to be kinder to myself. I always try to do my best as an author, but if something isn't working, sometimes the best thing to do is scrap it or take a break. And also, to forgive yourself if your work isn't perfect or as prolific as you want. Some days I'll write 2k words and some days I might write two. And both of those, I'm beginning to learn, are okay.

On your review of Captured by Erica Stevens, I saw that you said that you love captive romance stories, so I went to check your profile to see if you had a reading list, then I realised - oh my word it's Nenia Campbell! I loved Cloak and Dagger. I especially loved Michael was so hostile and terrible to her because it's so much better than insta-love. What are your favourite captive romance stories?

In your recent review of "Flame of Savannah" you said this: "I know a lot of you guys following me swear that bodice rippers/vintage romance novels aren't for you, but I urge you to pick this one up if you're at all interested in reading these types of books." My question is "Why this book in particular?" No offense meant, but your review (while well written) doesn't make the reason clear.
