On Writing Romantic Suspense

When I was little girl, I used to love to curl up and watch Murder She Wrote.  If you’re thinking to yourself that I must’ve been an old lady trapped inside a little girl’s body…Well, you’d be partly right.  This program, with all its twists and turns, and its clever, writer-turned-sleuth heroine, was one of my Grammy’s favourites.  That made it a-okay in my mind.  It was a past time we could share, and that made it as enjoyable then as it is memorable now.







My love of a good mystery continued over the years, and evolved.  I read Trixie Belden as a pre-tween.  I loved that each story had a new case to solve, and how the richness of the characters’ family lives crossed over from book to book.  As an adult, some of my favourite comfort-authors (yes, I’m likening them to soothing things like hot chocolate and all dressed chips) include Heather Graham, Sandra Brown, and Karen Rose.  I love a story I can sink my teeth into, as well as one where I can’t QUITE see the end coming.





And here’s the other important thing to know about me.  I’m a sucker for a love story.





My all time favourite book is Pride and Prejudice.  My all time favourite movie is the 6-hour A&E adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.  Fitzwilliam Darcy makes my heart beat fast.  Declarations of love make me swoon.  Sigh.  The Notebook.  Sigh.  Twilight. (Don’t judge me.)  To quote Hunter Hayes, when it comes to love, “I don’t want good and I don’t want good enough. I want can’t sleep, can’t breathe without you kinda love.” Again, sigh.




So.  Putting those two things together between the pages of a book is a foregone conclusion.  My new novel, Tattoos and Tangles, does just that.  Nail biting moments drive Cass and John to realize that life is too short to wait around.  When love strikes, it needs to be seized, because you never know if the next moment will be your last.
