In your books, some of your bad guys are pretty twisted. How did you manage to write them so well? And did you ever sit and think that people would think you were messed up because you could think up something like that? Not saying that you're messed up or anything, I'm actually a big fan. I am asking because I am having a hard time finishing my book because of how twisted the bad guy is turning out to be. :-(

I don't worry what other people will think of me when they read my books. The characters are the characters, and not you, or me. Don't cripple yourself creatively by worrying that other people will think badly of you because you've written a kick ass villain. It's called fiction for a a reason. Sorry it's taken me so long to go through questions, but I hope you finished your book.

The romance between Richard and Anita is what got me hooked. In the books, it seems that you have had her move past that because she doesn't have room in her life with vampire and shape-shifter business. What made you decide to move Anita and Richard's relationship burn out the way it did? Also, do you ever foresee Anita being a badass Bolverk.

Love your books! My question at BookNation did not get picked, so I am glad I have this forum to ask. At the very beginning, before you were a full time author, did you work at at a non-writing job while you were writing, or did you just jumped straight in and became a full time writer right away? Also, do you have a daily writing goal (### words a day whether it is Anita or Merry)? Thank you so much!!

Was it always your intention to inject highly charged pornographic eroticism in the books (I don't mean as an insult), or did that just happen as an unintended consequence of book after book of plotlines (Harder time enjoying Narcissus in Chains, as a result of the focus on sex rather than story)? I was in it for the action, and the story. But now it seems just sex focused. Quality of writing hasn't lessened mind you.
