I was a stay-at-home-mommy! My son needed his mother but I was going stir crazy. I baked, sewed, cleaned, shopped, and read everything in my house.
In telling my sister everything I'd read, she told me to try romance. I laughed...(trust me this comes back...and back...). The next day I went to a new Mexican restaurant, and next door was a little bookstore with "Romance Books" in big red, black and white letters on the window. I went through their used section and took home ten. A few days later, talking again to my sister, I laughed and told her I could do better than the books I'd read so far. "So, do it!"
I laughed.
Then I thought long and hard about it. Why not? I wrote when I was in school. I enjoyed it. It wasn't half ba I was a stay-at-home-mommy! My son needed his mother but I was going stir crazy. I baked, sewed, cleaned, shopped, and read everything in my house.

Then I thought long and hard about it. Why not? I wrote when I was in school. I enjoyed it. It wasn't half bad.
That book is still in editing.
But I was writing.
I learned a lot with that book and reading other up and coming authors.
Then I hit inspiration. Driving across the Mid-Atlantic states, my mind was wondering. It does that at times. It wandered across what-ifs and possibilities.
I got home and spent three days sitting at my computer typing, skipping sleep, forty-thousand words poured out and Badeaux Knights was born...
And the story goes on--

After editing and cleaning up Badeaux Knights I continued to write, working on concepts that came from anywhere I could get them. I entered a conteset and met many more great author with the thought of getting feedback, alright... fine... publication would be cool but feedback, right.
I received much needed feedback and I met my future publisher. Well I'll get to him.
We started a critique group with around ten romance writers with promise. Watching these fine writers receive rejections from agents or big publishers was painful and so, one decided no more.
"I'm going to start a publishing company." We laughed. He added crime and mystery authors and started putting out books and Second Wind Publishing was born. Then it grew.
And the story goes on--

"I want a bookstore to sale our books in." Again we laughed at him."I want wine in my bookstore." laughed harder.
A year later I sat in a different state than the story started in helping to open a bookstore.
And the story goes on-- ...more

Suzette Vaughn answered Goodreads's question: Where did you get the idea for your most recent book? All my books either come from dreams or random thoughts jumping into my mind. Thankfully it's normally the first. Those random thoughts can be a killer.
