Lyssa Cole Everyday, she stares at me from the window of her dark, creepy house. Until today, she beckoned me inside.
Lyssa Cole I must say it would have to be Twilight. As corny as that sounds, I want to be their type of vampire so bad...I would get one to turn me and then go wild haha! Hmm...is this a good book idea? lol
Lyssa Cole Too many to list! But definitely a few by Ryan Michele, Addison Moore, Lauren Blakely, and Kendall Ryan!
Lyssa Cole This is a tough one as I love so many. If I would have to say right now it is currently Joshua and Natasha from the Stanton Series by TL Swan. That couple blew me away with everything they went through and the 3.5 books were so good, I devoured them quickly. I just loved the passion they had for each other and the hurdles they had to face but still overcame were suspenseful and interesting to read.

But of course there are so many more I love- Christian & Ana, Bella & Edward, and of course my own Nate & Chloe....and my others in the works ;)
Lyssa Cole I always have a bunch of stories floating in my head, it's just the part of sitting down and writing them. I try to write when the mood strikes me the most, usually at night. I also try to write every day, even if it is only a little bit but than can be tough with my busy family and full time day job!!
Lyssa Cole Right now I am working on my first full length novel! I hope to debut by late spring/early summer, maybe even earlier, we will see how it goes!!
Lyssa Cole Just do it! I kept thinking I would never be good enough or that I wouldn't be able to write. Finally one day I just sat down and did it and I am so glad I did! I did a lot of ghostwriting but then I thought why give my ideas away for one flat price when I could be selling books? If you want to start writing, just grab that keyboard and start typing! Let the words just spill from you. You'll be amazed at what happens.
Lyssa Cole You get to create these worlds where anything you want to happen can and will. You want to just go have sex with the neighbor? Sure go ahead. You want to go rob a bank and get away with it? Ok great. All of my fantasies and dreams can come alive in a book and I get to escape from reality. Reading has always been an escape for me and now writing has become one too because I finally get to share my own fantasies!!
Lyssa Cole Usually I just have to take a break. A break from the story, a break from writing in general. Once I try to do something else and put my mind somewhere else, when I come back to writing, I have some fresh ideas that have come to me. Most of the time this works good! Writer's block can be hard to deal with! You think you have all your ideas lined out but sometimes it doesn't always work out that way!
