Susan, aka Pooh Bear asked Nana Malone:

I was hooked on romances at 12 after buying my first romance novel for $.10 at a garage sale. Like your start, the book had seen better days. Where do you get inspiration for your characters? I just started Game, Set, Match. May have to stay up late to finish it!

Nana Malone Hi there! You know I get influenced from anywhere. From a favorite TV show that flubbed the romance, or a movie I would hav done differently. Or from people watching. I once chased a woman half a block all because she looked like a character I wanted to write. And obviously the more I read, the more ideas I come up with.
