I've always loved to read romance. I believe in true love and I like to see people happy. Your first novel was Now or Never . Nine months after I started writing it, I met Monica Harris and she bought it early the following year. No, I have a part-time job.
Research varies for each story.
For Keeping Secrets I read two books on the Marine Corps and interviewed officers in Quantico, VA as well as family members who are Marine Corps veterans. Multicultural romances are stories where Anglo or white characters are not the hero or heroine of the story. It's an interesting concept. Whisper to Me was another story that I was asked to do. I didn't know much about Kwanzaa and so I went down to the Herndon Home here in Atlanta and used the home as the basis for the silent auction.
