I’ve been invited to the Baton Blog Hop by JB Lynn<\/a>,\u00a0who writes laugh-out-loud suspense and mysteries, along with goosebump-raising thrillers. Sounds good, eh?\u00a0\u00a0The extra great news is she usually has a contest running and now is no different so check out her Contest Page<\/a> and enter to win!<\/p>\n

Time to answer a few questions!<\/p>\n

1) What am I working on?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m working on my second Aspen Lake novel. Life is small town Aspen Lake is heating up again, on the streets and between the sheets. Kate Logan, boutique owner, is fighting to get her life back on track. Seth Stone, starving artist and carpenter, is leaving reality behind to start again. But when a extremist religious group move to Aspen Lake and make it their mission to shut down the annual Gothic Revival Festival Kate is organizing, trouble brings them together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2) How does my work differ from others of its genre?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess it differs because it’s my voice telling the story. Hopefully, what you’ll find is everyday men and women who don’t have all the answers and are looking to find their place in the world. Along the way they find their happily-ever-after. Also, Aspen Lake is a small town in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Not many of those around, LOL.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3) Why do I write what I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I write romantic suspense because that’s what I love to read. I love torturing my characters. I love strong male leads, and smart female heroines. But I also love a good villain. I not sure what that says about me…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4) How does your writing process work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gosh, it’s all over the place. I fit it in when I can, but I try to write everyday. Therefore, I write in chunks. My writing groups holds three or four writing challenges a year. I love those and writing long side and being inspired by writers I admire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Passing the baton.<\/p>\n
