I've Been Tagged in a Blog Tour

I don't usually do blog tours, but the excellent romantic suspense writer, Ellis Vidler, tagged me for a Writing Process Blog Tour. It's a simple Q&A, so I thought I'd put it on my Goodreads Blog. If you don't know Ellis's books, check them out on her website: http://www.ellisvidler.com/ You'll be glad you did.



Q. What are you working on?

The third book in the Diana Racine Psychic Suspense series, titled Backlash. It will be out late summer, early fall. Then, right behind it, is Cross Currents, a book about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist--obviously pure fiction.



Q. How does your work differ from others of its genre?

Starting with the premise that there's very little that hasn't been done, my books may hit on some risky subjects. The trick is to add a fresh approach. Hooked , for instance, is about an ex-call girl, a sex-crime investigator, a Wall St. pimp, and a mob boss. Some parts are kinky but funny, so I guess it's up to the reader to determine whether I've succeeded in making that scenario different from the romantic suspense genre.



Q. Why do you write what you do?

I had one reviewer who'd read all my books and said I liked to make heroes out of damaged people. I thought that was spot on. Stories about the most vulnerable appeal to me. I tend to put them in unimaginable situations and see what they do. Threads is probably the best example of this.



Q. How does your writing process work?

Writing is what I do. If I'm not actually writing, I'm thinking about writing. I have a separate office in the back of the house. Once I get into the story, I can go on for hours. The biggest distraction for writers these days, whether indie or traditionally published, is social media. If I can stay off Facebook and Twitter, I might be more productive, but it's the curse of getting your name and work out there, so we all do it to some extent.
