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…

New Orleans Helped Me Find My Inner Crazy
I’ve been playing around with travel posters (I got the idea from NASA), though this week’s “tour” is a real place. We lived in New Orleans for 18 years. That is the longest place I’ve lived anywhere other than where I grew up (which is a tie, since I went to college at 18). New…

Why Diana Reep Wrote Kiss’d
I’m happy to talk about the origin of Kiss’d, a YA romantic adventure. I’ve always been fascinated by history and how ordinary people dealt with tumultuous events. My favorite time period is turn-of-the-century 1900, and the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I triggered an idea for a time-travel romance. After researching the…
