Stella Maclean asked Debbie Macomber:

What do you think is the most important element in a romantic relationship, after the initial attraction? Is it respect, or shared values, or that two characters laugh at the same thing? Or something else?

Debbie Macomber Hello Stella,

Good to hear from you.

After the initial connection or attraction between a couple I think the most important aspect of the romantic relationship is their ability to face and overcome the challenges of life, the problems that separate them, the conflict, and the fear that love isn’t enough. While it’s important that they respect each other and can laugh together, I feel it’s equally important that they can fight to keep the love they share.

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.

Amanda asked Debbie Macomber:

Debbie, how do you create such distinctive character voices? Each of your characters have such different speech patterns, conflicts, personalities, sense of humour etc. Do you model them off people you know? Where do they come from? Thank you, your biggest Aussie fan!
