Debbie, thanks for the comment. And now I've got one for you -- what does your writing day look like? Are you a morning writer? A late night person? Just curious here in Seattle.

Jayne,
Thanks for the question. I’m a morning person and get to the office between 7:30 and 8, read all the mail from readers, answer emails and then dig into my chapter. When I first start a book I plot out how many pages I need to write in a day to make my deadline. I’m generous with myself and allow for unforeseen events. Then I write until my pages are done. I can finish early but more often it’s around 4 at which time I head home. So I answer to your question, I’m a however-long-it-takes kind of writer.

You and your Dakota series were my inspiration to become a romance writer. Do you plan to add to that series? Did you find it challenging to have so many stories going at the same time without confusing the reader? You did it perfectly. I couldn't put the books down. How long do you think a series should be?
