Purpose and readers keep me in
front of my laptop.
Why do you write romantic novels?
I’m in love with love. I love the
potential of it. I’ve always gushed
over those sappy romance movies
and I love to read a sweet romance,
so writing romance seemed a natural
fit for me.
However, I do want to say, my first
three novels are women’s fiction.
The romance writing has actually
come later. I released my first
romance in the A Woman’s Revenge
anthology in 2013.
Any romantic cues in your life that
you take inspiration from?
Uh, not right now. I’ve been divorced
for five years and I’m enjoying this
season of life. I am in love with my
children and my little doggy.
Give us a hint about the plot in your
newly released novel: Unbreak My
Heart.
Unbreak My Heart is the second
book in the Second Chances Series.
It’s the story of Cameron Scott and
Jacob Gray, a young married couple
who have been estranged from each
other because of a past betrayal. But
while more than 7000 miles, 5 years
and her “outside baby” have kept
them apart, they’ve never stopped
loving each other.
I’m in love with love
television star hits rock bottom,
Jacob decides to save her by
producing a television series to give
her a job and get closer to her.
Unfortunately, secrets and unspoken
words make it difficult for them to
leave the past in the past.
Which chords do you hope your
romantic novels strike with readers?
My novels all have strong messages
of faith and forgiveness. The Second
Chances Series continues those
themes.
I hope readers will see that we all
have the potential to take detours in
life and/or make mistakes, but we
serve a God of second chances. It’s
never too late to make things right if
we’re humble before HIM.
Thank you, Rhonda for your time.
