When writing your novel, do you know how it’s going to end before you write, or do you write from start to finish? Generally, I know exactly where is it going to end and I love knowing it and racing toward the final destination. Occasionally, something happens along the way to surprise me. Something I didn't see it coming. For example, I wrote one character in my upcoming release, Exposed To Passion, to be a cranky old geezer. He wasn't having it, and proved himself to be a kind old soul. I kind of yelled at my computer a little when that happened (There may have been some F-bomb dropping).
How do the people you know impact your writing? Are you influenced by friends and family for your characters? The short answer is yes. Their influence plays a part in aspects of my writing. But I'm more influenced by things I read in the newspaper or see on the news. There are a lot of crazy things happening out there you can't make up. I find what I can and use it. For example, recently I read a story about a couple who got married near the end of a half-marathon race. They stopped at mile 12, had a ceremony while other competitors ran by, cheering them on. Once the preacher said the final blessing, saying it was all downhill from there, they finished the last mile. The next book in the Five Senses Series will be set in a gym, and I'll find a way to work that in.

Describe the hero in your current WIP in three words. Yikes! That's hard (nope - those aren't the three words). How about Determined, Rugged and soft-gooey-center-hidden-in-a-hard-candy-shell (if it's hyphenated it's one word, right?) Actually, my final word would be Redeemable. (Josh Holloway would be perfect as Clay Mathers)

Sometimes life’s most simple melodies become songs of love.
Pippa Sanders’ life is filled with songs of leaving, longing and loneliness. Since the death of her husband, her children have been her world. She’ll do anything to protect them, including encasing her heart in ice until they’re college age. She’s made a practice of shying away from any relationship that could break her heart when it ends. And it’s worked so far.
Clay Mathers has made a temporary move to Granite Pointe, Massachusetts to help with his mother’s Christmas tree farm while she recovers from a stroke. Although his long-range plans don’t include staying in the small town, a little female companionship during his short residency would be welcome. While on duty as sentry against protestors at a military funeral, he finds Pippa visiting her husband’s grave, and begins a campaign to make her into a friend–with benefits.
What starts as a simple affair evolves to something more, something that changes the soundtracks of both their lives…the beating of two hearts in harmony.
CONTENT WARNING: Contains strong language, hot sex and a spicy hero.
