When it's time to write the story, I outline my chapters ahead of time.<br /><br />Hi Sherry! Where did the inspiration for the story come from? I pooled a few traits/thoughts from folks I'd heard stories from who'd been in the military. I always wanted to write a story with a Fae in it. Lia might not be what you think ;-)Sandra Sookoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864799097052526762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-2959901043179602552011-07-21T16:12:08.671-04:002011-07-21T16:12:08.671-04:00June--thanks for coming!

I wanted to show that Dev really needed a bit of happiness in his life--Lia.<br /><br />ME--hi there! Do I find writing/crit groups helpful? I think they are if you find the right ones, especially when a writer is first starting out. Do your homework well ahead of time and make sure you grow a thick skin. Not everyone is going to like what you write. At the moment, I do have a couple of crit partners :-)Sandra Sookoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864799097052526762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-90064715813873287852011-07-21T15:58:31.612-04:002011-07-21T15:58:31.612-04:00Congratulations on your new release.

Sometimes, very close. An author needs to understand their characters in order to let that emotion translate onto the page. At times, writing Dev's story got very intense. He's a guy in alot of pain. I like my stories to draw the reader into that world through emotions.<br /><br />Hi Tammy--Dev's therapist told him to get a dog so he could practice being nice and regain his humanity for/with other living things and to calm him after his war experiences.<br /><br />DeNita--Yes, this story is more serious but it also has a nice level of humor woven in. It's not exactly lighthearted enough for a romantic comedy but in places, you'll snicker.<br /><br />I wanted to show that while Dev hovers on the darker side of life--bitter, sad, depressed, with the introduction of Lia who only has known the brighter side of life, he could find the balance he thought he'd lost.<br /><br />Having these two very different characters come together makes them both grow and learn from each other :-)Sandra Sookoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864799097052526762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-31978915706386994582011-07-21T11:17:53.421-04:002011-07-21T11:17:53.421-04:00Hello Sandra and Happy Release Day!!
I agree with...Hello Sandra and Happy Release Day!!<br /><br />I agree with Tammy - beautiful cover! And I totally loved the excerpt on your site. <br /><br />This book sounds a bit more serious than some of your others, because of the emotions your hero must deal with, but I also noticed a lot of humor in the excerpt. Would you consider this a romantic comedy or is it too heavy for that?<br /><br />Can you tell us a bit more about this world you creadted and will we be seeing it again in another book?<br /><br />Hope WINGING IT is a huge best seller for you - enjoy your special day!AuthorIsland.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151952081726758554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-8061382893819224712011-07-21T11:05:03.282-04:002011-07-21T11:05:03.282-04:00Good Morning,
