What first inspired you to start writing contemporary romance novels centred around billionaires and second chances?
It was actually an accident! I was learning how to self-publish and was told that contemporary romance was the place to learn. I wasn’t a reader or writer of romance, but I love books. I love the writing process, and I remembered that when I was six, we had a school assignment where you had to say what you wanted to be when you grew up, and I wrote “a writer.” So, I took a leap of faith and found it to be so fun, I couldn’t stop!
My background is engineering, and I’ve enjoyed a wonderful career doing that. But when I had to make a change due to choosing where to raise my children, it was an opportunity to reinvent myself. The great thing about my background is that I analyzed many other books and found a formula that works for me. In the end, it’s a recipe that readers seem to respond to. My voice has matured and changed as I’ve written, and it’s relaxed into who I really am. It’s been a fun ride!
Many of your books feature strong yet vulnerable female leads—how do you go about developing their personalities and backstories?
I love me a good, strong female lead! I also love vulnerability and a good character arc. There must be some kind of realization; something that’s really human and that we all deal with that celebrates our humanity because the best stories are messy, unfair, and so imperfect. And that’s what makes them so perfect! But to better answer the question, I choose my tropes and just sit with them. And dream. And imagine. And finally, she comes into view. Writing the story is like watching a movie in my head. When things are headed somewhere that I’m not really liking, I just rewind and try again. I love getting to know my characters and when I just let go of control, they just enter from stage right, and I delight in what they have to show me.
Your stories often blend humour, emotion, and sensuality—how do you strike the right balance between these elements?
As I mentioned, the stories really write themselves. And I love having fun, so I’d like to think I infuse a lot of my own personality into the stories. I love developing not only the romantic relationship, but the relationships the main characters have with their friends and family. My series, Boston Steam, was my first interrelated books about four neurological surgeons who have a practice together. There was a lot of banter between the surgeons which I really enjoyed. I have observed many bromances and male friendships through my engineering work, and they are deeply embedded into what I know. So, the conversations were great ways to work in some humour. I just like to write stories that I would enjoy myself and because of the way I let things unfold, sometimes I’ll read it later and really enjoy the story all over again. Like, did I really write that?
Do you draw any of your characters or settings from real-life experiences or people you know?
Definitely. I haven’t revealed myself as a romance writer to many people, but those that know just love it. And many of them suggest story lines or allow me to use their names or aspects of their personalities as inspiration. I haven’t used a person as full inspiration for a character and haven’t done it for main characters. For some reason the main characters come to me with their own personalities. I sometimes use real people for elements of the supporting cast and it’s so fun because my friends get a kick out of it after I tell them!
The themes of family, love, and redemption recur throughout your work—what do these themes mean to you personally?
I think family and love are universally important but… complicated. And that’s where the beauty lies. Family means so much to all of us. They are the names and faces you will never forget. So, when things go wrong, they are deep traumas that are really difficult to resolve and may never be resolved. But when family provides unconditional love, there is no stronger foundation for someone to jump off from.
Redemption is an interesting concept. I think people love the idea of the phoenix rising from the ashes and love stories about the way back to happiness. Humans need connection and sometimes we think we can do it on our own, but when others are your wing-people, life is just that much more fun. Damaged people often act out to protect their hearts, and I love the concept of a hardened heart opening to love. That’s always a wonderful process to witness as a reader and an even more wonderful one to write.
How do you approach writing emotional scenes, particularly those involving heartbreak or reconciliation?
I mentioned that I write the movies that come into my head because the characters just slowly reveal themselves to me. I have a general outline of what I want to happen in each chapter, but the little details and the feelings just come alive when I’m in “movie-mode”. I really enjoy it. And so, the delicate scenes are balanced with what I, myself, can handle. I do find that I get emotional while I’m writing, and when that happens, I hope I can write it in a way where the reader feels it, too.
What has been the most rewarding reader response or feedback you’ve received so far?
I love connecting with readers, so when they write to me, it’s really a gift. When readers are enthusiastic about a character, I know that I’ve connected with them in words, and that’s a great feeling. Even if people hate a character, I know that I’ve done my job because I’ve made the reader have an emotion. I also love hearing that people have read my book in one sitting because they just couldn’t put it down.
What advice would you give to aspiring romance authors hoping to create compelling, emotionally charged stories?
That’s a difficult question because of the way I fell into writing, but ultimately the answer would be: do it YOUR way. Find your voice and be true to yourself. If you’re a romance author, then clearly you want to write. I would look to current bestsellers for interesting themes/tropes to write about but be original in how you put things together. Find a formula that works for you and create a methodology that you enjoy. Writing is supposed to be fun! Now, selling is another matter, and I’m blessed that I’ve enjoyed a wide reach with my books, but I believe the focus should be on the joy of writing. 😊
