What was the best part of writing

For me the best part of writing any
book is the wonderful unexpected
surprises along the way. I'm the kind of
author they call a 'pantser' which means
I don't do a lot of plotting before I start a
project. I've tried outlines and such, but
it just kills the process for me. I
absolutely love those 'aha' or 'wow'
moments when a new connection,
emotional twist, or plot ripple shows up
as I'm writing.
In Bulletproof, there is a scene
where the intrepid heroine, a reporter, is
trying to get her bodyguard, the strong
silent-type hero, to talk about the
shocking number of scars on his body.
He tells her a story, in fairy tale form,
and she isn't sure which parts are true
and which are fiction.
Writing that scene was one of those
un-plotted 'wow' moments that left me
breathless and I hope readers will have
the same experience.
Do you ever find
the time to read?
Every day I make time to read
something more than Facebook status

updates and tweets – for pleasure or
business. In my opinion, reading is
essential to writing. Usually I read a few
chapters of a book for pleasure just
before bed to help myself wind down.
But I read plenty of books on personal
development and business too – just not
usually at bedtime. ;)
Behind the scenes of Bulletproof:
Available October 17, Bulletproof is
a sexy, fast-paced romantic suspense
with a paranormal edge. John Noble is
pretty much bulletproof, thanks to an
experimental program known as
Unknown Identities.
Bulletproof wouldn't be here
without the unwavering support and
nurture of my good friend and mentor,
Debra Webb. A master storyteller, she
was the perfect combination of a
sounding board and a cheerleader
whenever I needed it. On top of that, she
was the editor for Bulletproof, which
made the whole experience of rewriting,
refining, and polishing a manuscript that
much better.
Readers can look forward to Double
Vision, book two in the Unknown
Identities series, later in October.
