Hi, I l really enjoy your books and often go back to them when I am wanting a comfort read. You seem to have a regular publishing schedule so how long does it take to write one of your books and do you alternate Quick/Castle/Krentz in a particular pattern? Also early on you did some historicals that were pre- victorian (regency and medieval) will you ever re-visit these periods or perhaps others?

Yes, I do have a regular publishing schedule (Jan. for my Krentz titles, April for Quick titles and August for my Castle titles). You can get details on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/JayneAnnKrentz ) And, yes, I am currently writing my historicals in the Victorian era. Not sure when I'll get back to the Regency or Medieval eras. But who knows? (less)

Yes, I know that sounds simplistic but here's how it works: I think in terms of scenes. Each scene is a short story with a beginning, middle and end. If one scene isn't working I write around it -- I skip ahead to another scene or go back to an earlier scene that needs work. Or maybe I'll just write about the weather in a troublesome scene. Here's the secret: creativity generates creativity. If you stop, the act of creation stops.(less)
