Do you ever feel silly when writing different "sex" words? When I'm writing I wonder if what I'm saying sounds silly or not in those scenes in the book.
Samantha Young
Hi Lisa. Keep in mind that there will always be readers with whom certain sex words work and with whom certain sex words don't work. So knowing that I think the best thing to do is to use words that you are comfortable with. If you read a word in a book and find it silly then don't go with it. Go with whatever works for you. :)

I looove your scotish accent, it's probably the coolest thing ever! :) You have(!) to keep on vlogging ;) Well, I've read before that you are a planner, so how long do you plan and how long do you actually write it down?

Hello! One of my utmost favorite scenes in a book comes from Before Jamaica Lane in the form of a flashback when Olivia is cooking a traditional Thanksgiving dinner in honor of her mom. Is there a particular scene in one of your books that is your favorite or really resonated with you when you wrote it? Also, what food or dish do you associate with your own family traditions?
