Sometimes I think I’m a writing addict. I bury myself in more than one book project and I don’t come up for air. To make matters worse, I’m already on deadline for a book. That doesn’t matter though, when a book begins to haunt me I need to write. Many times I write a whole first chapter of a book I know nothing about. By the time I’m done, the whole story comes to me and I know where I’m going with it.
The Sinclare brothers series was a challenge since the four brothers kept invading my mind, each wanting their story told. Return Of The Rogue wasn’t done when Artair’s story, Under The Highlander’s Spell, began to take form, and Lachlan challenged me with his charm to find him a wife. Ronan, however, mystifies me. He leaves clues, nudges and suggests that he’s not quite ready to return home. Why? He tells me he’ll let me know… just keep writing.
How can I not? I’m a writing addict for sure!
P.S. Under The Highlander’s Spell will be in bookstores in October.

Writing a book sounds like more work than fun. I thought about writing but it seems like just taking on a job. Yet as I’m disabled sometimes I wonder if it is something I could do as I love to write and encourage people. God Bless.
Since you love writng, as I do, it’s more fun than work. You might want to start by keeping a journal. Just jot down your thoughts or ideas. You’ll be surprised where it takes you.
Along the way you’ll probably find you’re encouraging yourself and inspiring others. So go for it and good luck!
I Have read just about every book ( Historical Romance ) that you have written. I am envious at how you can make your characters come alive and then make me fall in love with them. I am never sure if I am putting my comments in the right area but I saw this post and decided this was as good a spot as any. I discovered you this year. I have only read 40 of your books. I can’t put them down as they read like a movie and I hate not seeing the whole thing. I am very excited about your Irish books Hint hint and hope to be reading the next one soon. You have captured my imagination and your characters have captured my heart. I hope that I can be an amazing writer like you and my lady Johanna Lyndsey whom I miss, God rest her soul. Thank you for taking me away from the present and letting my mind vacation in Scotland and Ireland. I have just started reading Entrusted to a highlander.
Thank you,
Trish U.
Hi Trish
I’m so happy you discovered my books and enjoy them. I’m also glad that my characters capture your heart.
Let YOUR characters capture your heart and they’ll make you an amazing author, along with determination.
Write. Write. And keep writing. Don’t give up. I always loved Johanna Lyndsey’s book. She was a great author.
I spend endless time in Scotland and some in Ireland through my writing and enjoy every minute of it
and I’m glad you’ve mind-vacationed there as well.
Take care and keep writing!
