A Word from Virginia...
I love stories of ordinary people like myself being swept into dangerous situations. The idea for Reunion Mission blossomed from an image I had of a teacher literally stumbling over a dead student in her classroom. Why was she there, I wondered, and what if the killer hadn't left? That train of thought led to her being accused of the student's murder. She needed someone on her side to protect her and believe in her innocence, and since this was the second book in my "Rangers Under Fire" series, I knew my hero would be a former army ranger. Enter DEA Agent Matt Ross, the man who shattered her world and her heart on prom night ten years earlier.
Q & A...
Q: What would you be doing if you were not an author?
A: Law school was always in my plans, but I chose to put that dream on hold in order to concentrate on my writing.
Q: What do you consider the hardest part of being a writer?
A: The most difficult thing I've discovered about being a writer is finding time to do everything that needs to be done, including brainstorming new ideas, writing proposals, marketing, and maintaining an online presence.
Q: What advice do you have for new authors?
A: Finish the book! That's the hardest part of getting started in a writing career. It's so easy to start a book, but finishing it truly is the challenge.
Q: What can you tell me about your next project?
A: I have two more books releasing in 2016, and I'm super excited about both. My next story is the third book in the "Rangers Under Fire" series. It's titled Ranch Refuge and is releasing in August. The fourth book in the series is called Mistletoe Reunion Threat and releases in December.

I read them for the excitement. I also read them to learn the ways that the characters handle the problems in their stories. And I just like them.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Jan. They certainly are exciting!
DeleteThanks for stopping by, and good luck.

ReplyDeleteI enjoy suspenseful books because of the thrill and adventure that is added to a romantic story. And usually they keep you guessing till the end of the book, trying to figure out who the bad guy is!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Sandra Hobbs
Exactly, Sandra! I love that, just when you think you have it figured out, you learn that you don't!
DeleteGood luck, and thanks for stopping by.
I read them because I can't help it! I read everything, and I love suspenseful books because they keep me turning the pages until the end.
ReplyDeleteThey're my favorite for that very reason. I love books, and shows, where I'm kept guessing.
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog, and good luck!
Because they are fun to read.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Kim.
DeleteGood luck, and thanks for stopping by my blog.
Sometimes I just need something with a bit of "spice" to it.
ReplyDeleteI love the teamwork that goes into solving a mystery/crime.
I love the interaction between characters that just isn't found in other books.
Usually suspense are the ones that really keep me up "-but-but- this is a really good part, can't stop now... WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?"
You definitely make a lot of good points, Megan! So many of them are hard to put down :)
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog, and good luck!
I enjoy them because they have a plot to them and keep you wondering what will happen. So many of the romance books do not and are very predictable.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, you're right about the predictability in many romance books. That's one of my favorite things about this genre. I like the fact that they keep me guessing!
DeleteGood luck, and thanks for stopping by, Stella!
I read suspense because I like the pulse-pounding thrill I get & the fact that I can't put them down because I need to see what happens next! When an author sucks me into the story that much that I feel I'm right in the middle of the action, you have a fan for life :-) I also like to try to solve who-done-it; the mystery & intrigue makes me think. And maybe become smarter, lol!
ReplyDeleteVirginia is a new-to-me author & I love discovering new writers. As with any LIS, they all belong on my bookshelf :-) Thanks for the Q&A and book giveaway chance!
You really hit the nail on the head, Trixi. LIS has so many wonderful books which keep you on the edge of your seat!
DeleteI'm glad I was able to introduce you to a new author :) You're very welcome, and good luck!
I love suspense stories! I can never put the book down! Which is great but can also be a problem, lol. No but really, this sounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteAlonda, thanks for stopping by! Yes, it is definitely a good thing when you are unable to put a book down :-)
DeleteGood luck!
I should clarify that I enjoy Love Inspired suspense since it's a little bit lighter on the suspense or that they are quicker to read and wrap up. As I get older, I don't enjoy that feeling of anxiety like I did when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteTerrill,
DeleteGood point. There's just enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing throughout the story.
Thanks for stopping by, and good luck!
