Sieravonne asked Ruth Ann Nordin:

Hi Ruth, I usually read your regency romances and historical romances and I noticed that most of your male principal characters were inexperienced. Is there a reason for that? I also read other authors' work with the same genres and probably 98% of them, the leading man were no longer chaste. Some of them were even living debauched lives.

Ruth Ann Nordin The reason I write so many inexperienced male characters is because there are so many out there who have tons of experience already. Before I started to write romance, I was writing thrillers and fantasies. But I loved to read romance, and I got frustrated because it seemed as if all of the heroes had tons of experience. I wanted something different, so I ended up writing the books I had wanted to read that I couldn't find. :)

Cintia

Cintia asked Ruth Ann Nordin:

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?

Amelie

Amelie asked Ruth Ann Nordin:

Oh my God, I can't believe I missed so many of your releases! Quick question before I go to Smashwords - are His By Chance and The Accidental Mail Order Bride the same book?

Cintia

Cintia asked Ruth Ann Nordin:

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
