To the Mailbox We Go
I’m sticking my hand in the mailbox today and retrieving several quick-to-answer questions.
*Deep breath*
Okay, go!
Q # 1: What time of day do you write?
A # 1: Morning. Now this can stretch into afternoon/evening if I’m on a roll, but morning is my start time.
Q # 2: Where do you write?
A # 2: Depends. Sometimes I write away from home (library, Panera, etc). I helps me shut down the distractions of home and actually get something done. But once I’m really going on the book (and provided no one is home), I can write at home, too. That said, my very favorite place to write is a Borders Bookstore. Nostalgia, I guess.
Q # 3: Do you just write cozies?
A # 3: No! I write romance (a relatively new addition), too. I also have a great women’s fiction novel brewing in my head at the moment…in addition to a thriller that’s done but needs about 20K more words.
Q # 4: Where are you at with your writing right now?
A # 4: I’m currently working on the fifth book in my Southern Sewing Circle Mystery Series. It’s due to my editor on November 1st! If your a series fan, this may make you scratch your head in confusion. But no, you haven’t missed anything. PINNED FOR MURDER (the third in the series) comes out on October 5th. DEADLY NOTIONS (the fourth in the series–already done/edited/cover designed and waiting) comes out April 4th.
Q # 5: This one is from me to you…Any questions you’d like to send my way???

P.S. If you visit my blog often, you may recognize the name Lynn Cahoon. She’s done a few guest blogs for me over the past few months. She’s both a writer and friend. Anyway, Lynn has done something very gutsy. She’s put the first chapter of a work-in-progress (romance) on a Harlequin website that is currently featuring New Voices. People can stop by and read her first chapter…and offer a comment/rating. If you have some time today, I’m sure she’d appreciate a little support. To read her entry, click HERE.

Thanks for the call out Elizabeth! Being on New Voices has been a fun ride and it only started on Monday. The top ten entries will be chosen on the 27th of September. Wish me luck everyone!
As far as being gutsy… can I tell the Sewing Circle Team a little secret? I’m shaking in my shoes… the site lets readers rank your entry with up to five flowers. So I keep checking in…seeing where I rank. Totally high school…but I’ve gotten great comments including some that make me think…
Anyway, enough about me, Question for Elizabeth…
What is the one book you’re dying to write? Are the characters calling out to you?

Lynn, I’m going over there in a few.
