Jan Springer Hi Rhonda! I apologize for the delay. I just saw your question.
The answer is yes I am currently working on a book with Milena, Mitch, Paul and Daegen getting together. Title is "Her Forever Cowboys"...no idea when I can release it yet...still working on the details. :-)
Jan Springer Sorry Wilma for the very slow response! I just noticed your question.
Yes, Book 5 Always Her Cowboys was released late last year. And I do plan on more JJ and her men, but as secondary characters in some future books and then back to writing about them again. :-)
Jan Springer The most recent book is A Homecoming Menage Christmas, which is part of my Key Club series. Readers were asking for a story about Rachel, a minor character in a previous story, so I decided to give her a story where she has a naughty secret - she has a Santa fetish. It was fun to write.
Jan Springer I think I caught the bug when I was in Grade 10 and our English teacher got us to write stories. I found it fun and always got good marks (which surprised me).
Jan Springer Currently I am working on the sequel to Cowboys for Christmas. It continues the story of JJ who had spent ten years in prison. She got early parole and ended up working on a cattle ranch in Northern Ontario Canada...falling in love with her THREE sexy Canadian cowboy bosses. This time the story will take place in the spring, after her first winter at the ranch. I am finding it a delightful story to write, especially because I love Northern Ontario.
Jan Springer My advice to aspiring writers is to do alot of reading, especially read stories similar to the ones you would like to write. I've gotten plenty of ideas while reading other authors stories. Also try not to wait for inspiration to write. Sit down every day and write, even if you don't feel like it. Usually just the act of writing will help get you into the mood to write. :-)
Jan Springer The best thing about being a writer is being able to create. It's amazing when you have a finished story in your hands and you realize that this story would never have been made had I not created it. It's a pretty cool feeling.
Jan Springer For me writer's block is usually because I have too many stories running around in my head and I can't pick which one to work on. lol. To distract myself I take a long nature walk and try not to think about the stories. Sometimes it works, sometimes no. *le sigh*
Other things I do can be just taking the day off and trying to work on a story the next day. Or I'll work on something else like setting up ads, website updates, working on a newsletter, or looking at premade covers for future books.
If all else fails, then I just sit down in front of the computer and force myself to focus and work on a current work-in-progress.
