When a publisher controls the rights to a book, it makes the decision about reprinting it. When a writer controls those rights, she has to sell them to a publisher in order to get the book back into print. No more in that series. But if you like my paranormal stuff, try my new Jayne Castle titles. I really enjoy working with paranormal elements in the books.
Names have to fit characters.
It's getting harder to come up with new, fresh names because I've already used a lot of the ones I love. They just come. I need to write. But no matter how hard I tried, I could not bring myself to quit. So, for six years I got up at four in the morning to write before I left the house to go to work.
