Charmed Lover was supposed to be a stand alone novella but my muse wouldn't let me leave it there. Suddenly I had a series on my hands.<br /><br />I very briefly outlined each story as I wanted it to happen and how the characters would interact. I even started some of the later books so any overlapping scenes would be worked out fully.<br /><br />This is my first series. I wouldn't mind doing another. Though I'm not sure if it'll be this long again.<br /><br />~ ReneeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729725833124660573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-86073972205949720312011-07-22T17:57:28.651-04:002011-07-22T17:57:28.651-04:00- Patsy - Thanks for the congrats.

Sometimes I will want a story to go one way but the characters won't obey. Since the characters drive the book, I have to go where they tell me. :P<br /><br />~ ReneeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729725833124660573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-85084105153878310662011-07-22T17:56:06.332-04:002011-07-22T17:56:06.332-04:00Teresa - Hi and thanks for coming out.

I hope to make it out to Lori Foster's Get Together in 2012 as well.<br /><br />I usually have a rough idea of how my characters will look and act once I start writing them. Sometimes the characterization of the character develops as I'm writing.<br /><br />Sometimes the names come first and sometimes the characters come first. If the name isn't a pivotal part of the book, I'll write an entire story using placeholders that I can find-and-replace once I find a name I like.<br /><br />For the covers, I usually try to find pictures of couples in a position I like as well as models who look close to my characters so the cover artists can use that to render the covers.<br /><br />~ ReneeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729725833124660573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-43706208747538592912011-07-22T14:50:11.829-04:002011-07-22T14:50:11.829-04:00the excerpt was great and the book sounds wonderfu...the excerpt was great and the book sounds wonderful. i can't wait to read it.<br />trvlagnt1t@yahoo.comtammy rameynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-24443842330494332692011-07-22T13:35:23.315-04:002011-07-22T13:35:23.315-04:00Congrats on your latest release!

I do have a couple of questions.<br /><br />When your building your character do you already have him or her in mind? Do you build them around there name's? Or does the character come first and than the names for the character?<br /><br />Also what requirements do you do to have the covers designed on your books?<br /><br />Teresa K.<br />tcwgrlup41(at)yahoo(dot)comTeresa K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02924374150166433414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-15229456533866065542011-07-22T10:50:39.018-04:002011-07-22T10:50:39.018-04:00Hi Hi Sherry!

I also wanted all of the titles to be two words and the first word had to be past tense.<br /><br />Of course, for the title to fit, I had to know what the stories would be about. I had a brief idea of how the books would flow, but I didn't start writing them until I had the titles set in my mind.<br /><br />~ ReneeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729725833124660573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-15660655328325897952011-07-22T10:48:19.982-04:002011-07-22T10:48:19.982-04:00Morning DeNita!

I'm also loving writing it. :D<br /><br />The series will have seven books in total. The first three are now published. Four and five are written and turned in to my editor. Six and seven are in the writing queue, but won't be out until 2012.<br /><br />The books are like dominoes. They fall one right after the other. While you can read them as stand alone titles, the events of the previous book are only mentioned briefly in the next book.<br /><br />The books are written as couplets. The first two are about Ryver and Theron. The second two are about Sicily and Lamon. The third set is about... well, you'll have to wait and see about that. :P<br /><br />The last book is about all three couples and the conclusion of the overall plot of the series.<br /><br />~ ReneeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729725833124660573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-85442477812989281562011-07-22T10:26:47.976-04:002011-07-22T10:26:47.976-04:00Congratulations on your new release.
