Congratulations on your new release. Do you enjoy reading holiday stories only at the holidays or do you read them the year round like I do?

Hi Denita, thank you for having me today!
ReplyDeleteVirginia, I am fasinated by the Civil War era. But most of my work is set in current times, even the paranormal which is a fun genre to write. Next year I'm venturing into mainstream with a new book as well as the 2nd in the Magical Love series. Beyond Magic, the first in that series releases in January.
Linda -- I read holiday stories year round. When I have time, I read...start my day with the cereal box and end it falling to sleep with my Kindle or a print book. In between, it's work!
congrats on your newest release, Lizzie!
ReplyDeletewhat was it like to write a book taking place in another time? I could imagine that the switch from current times to the Civil War era isn't that easy, is it?
wish you all the best, Ina

Hi, Lizzie! I love the sounds of your story! I haven't read too many set in the Civil War era but look forward to yours. Is it a stand-alone, or might you have more stories to tell in this time period?

Hi Lizzie.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new release! It sounds fantastic!
Where does this story take place?
chey127 at hotmail dot com
Are there any historical figures that inspired you to write this story?
ReplyDeletelenikaye@yahoo.com
I love historical romance stories! Oh, and that heated kiss....I want to read more!
ReplyDeleteMy question is... what is the most unique (funny, hearwarming, sad, scary, etc.) experience, in person or by mail/email, you had with a fan?

Congratulations on the new release. Which genres do you write? Do you ever start writing a story and as it develops change genres?

Congratulations on what looks like a fabulous read.

Hi Ina, Yes making the switch between the way we talk to today and back there was challenging. Also, had to do lots of research on the historical aspect and that continued throughout the writing.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too, Valerie. Yep, all that stuff is done. Actually, pretty much all the family celebration is over since this is the year members go out of town to the other side. Christmas Day will be just the Honey and me...nice and quiet. After this past week, sounds like a bit of heaven.
ReplyDeleteHi flechen1, Thanks for your question. At the moment Making Christmas is a stand alone. But the one thing I've learned is...never say never to anything.
ReplyDeleteChey, the story takes place in Georgia during Sherman's march to the sea...late 1864.
ReplyDeleteLeni, I've always enjoyed studying the Civil War era...must be the southern thing since I grew up in NC and that period can still be an active conversation in some areas.
Interesting question, Kammie. I love hearing from fans and when I'm having a down day, getting an email from someone saying they enjoyed one of my books can turn things around.
ReplyDeleteAs for scary, I did have someone (a guy) who made me a bit nervous from some of the direct messages he sent on a social site. At first he was 'hi, like your work' then started getting strange. I ended up blocking him and so far, so good.
Hi Estella, I enjoy Diana Gabaldon and Melissa Mayhue, though technically they aren't historical, but love their Scottish settings when the characters travel back in time. Julia Quinn is great and I have a stack of new authors to read.
ReplyDeleteNot romance, but James Michener is on my list and of course there's always Gone with the Wind...top of any list!
Thank you Virgina and joder.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry. I write paranormal romance (with some spice) and contemporary erotic romance. In 2011 I will tackle my first mainstream with a YA twist and because of the YA possibility, it will be under a yet to be determined name.
ReplyDeleteI've only have one book that will switch genres. My first dive into the writing world was a contemporary romance that a computer crash lost half of. The revision and rewrites will move it into the paranormal/fantasy realm. Plus lots of changes to what didn't get lost...learned a lot since the first effort!
Thank you Marybelle!
ReplyDeleteI DO love Christmas stories or stories based around Christmas.
ReplyDeletethis sounds like a great read; congrats Lizzie.
