RLC asked Robyn Carr:

When you write series like Virgin River, which have so many books, do you find it difficult avoiding repetitive patterns and giving each couple a unique story? Is it hard knowing the right balance of intermingling old characters into each new story since your fans have become so attached to them? Thank you!

Robyn Carr Yes, it's hard! And it's hard! That's why they call it work! It's all hard, but it's also a great challenge and getting it right can be a huge rush!

I loved reading your series, especially Virgin River, as much as your stand alone books. How can you tell if a novel you just finished writing is going to be just a stand alone or the first in an exciting new series?

Katie asked Robyn Carr:

Why do you have to do research on fiction novels? And how do you start off writing a novel? I have not read your new book but i did read the thunderpoint series and they were good so great job!

Patsy Hughes asked Robyn Carr:
