Why Veronica Scott Wrote KIERCE: A BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE NOVEL
Thanks for having me back once more to talk about the story behind the story on my latest scifi romance! Coming to your blog to explain why I wrote each book is such a treasured part of my new release process. I think the first thing I need to say is that I really try…

Why Anne Louise Bannon Wrote A Ring for a Second Chance
I love Pauline’s basic question – why did I write this? The easy answer is at the heart of everything I write, namely, that the freaking characters won’t let me alone. My head can be a noisy place at times. So why did these characters stick with me and not some others? Why did these…

Why Karen McCullough Wrote Hunter’s Quest
I wrote the first draft of Hunter’s Quest almost twenty years ago. It was written in response to a call from a publisher for a specific type of book. It made it through two rounds of editorial cuts, but not the final one because it was deemed not exactly what was wanted for the new…

#Halloween Memories of My Mom
It was a dark and stormy night… Or so it seemed for many of my childhood Halloweens. Most of the time my costume would be hidden under a coat. That didn’t matter. All the holidays of my childhood seemed, in hindsight, to have been magical. I give all credit to my mom. I do not…

Sweet Sounds of Summer
Since our move back to Wyoming, life has been very interesting. We’ve had an epic winter for snow (been thirty years…the last time we visited in the winter…hmmmm…) and much Life Happening. But the other night when I opened the windows and I heard the sound of the sprinklers going, I was carried back to…

Remembering Why I Wrote Girl Gone Nova
So I finished The Key, aka The Big A** Book, with no plans to write more science fiction romance (you might recall that I didn’t know I’d written SFR at that point. I thought I’d written a) an action adventure that just happened to be set in space; b) a really, really long novel I…
