I have love with your writing ever since I picked up Dark Paradise 20 years ago. I've read every single one of your books, including all of your Loveswept 14 years ago when I went on an eBay binge because they weren't available anywhere else at that time. What advice would you give to someone who's been writing her entire life, but has never had the courage to submit anything for publishing?
Tami Hoag
Go for it. The worst that can happen is someone will say no, thank you. The world will keep turning and you'll try again. Many very famous authors faced numerous rejections before they made it. So, do some good old fashioned research on how to get published, and give it a shot.

Tami, I've been one of your readers (and buyers!) for years, and am also an aspiring author. Once you have the initial concept for a new novel, how do you go about developing the plot? Do you have a "system" of some kind, are you a writer who "lets the book write itself," or something in between? Please describe that creative process for us. Thanks, and keep writing wonderful books!
