Olivia R asked Melinda Leigh:

Hello, Melinda! I do so enjoy reading your work. I’ve yet to get to the latest release but hold much anticipation to do so. I wanted to ask, how does your creative process work? You have an amazing way of making the story come alive and draw the readers in. I wish you well in these times. Thank you!

Melinda Leigh I'm so glad you enjoy my stories. I wish I had a more organized creative process, but I don't. I'm come to accept that after nearly thirty works. I start with a hook and attempt to plot out at least a few plot points or twists. While I'm doing this, I think about how I'd like to challenge my characters. then I cross my fingers and start writing. The end result is often very different from what I'd anticipated.
