My heroine is a little bold for the time period, but she’s a lot of fun!įiona: Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?įiona: What books have most influenced your life most? I did a lot of research into history, so it’s pretty realistic. The message in most of my books is to be true to yourself 😀įiona: How much of the book is realistic? I read somewhere that title with “duke” in them do better, and since my hero was a duke, I figured I’d give it a try 😀įiona: Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp? Lily and the Duke? The original title was Lily’s Waltz, and then Lily’s Affair. I’m a pantser all the way! I’ve tried plotting, but my characters end up having minds of their own.įiona: How did you come up with the title? I still have that book! It will never see the light of day though…įiona: Do you have a specific writing style? I guess it depends on what you consider my first book! I started my first novel in eighth grade, and I was inspired by my unrequited love at the time. I’ve been writing since I learned how…in first grade.įiona: When did you first consider yourself a writer?įiona: What inspired you to write your first book? I released it on August 27, my 50th birthday! This is a book of my heart and I hope it does well .įiona: When and why did you begin writing? My newest release is Lily and the Duke, erotic Victorian romance.
