This week's Intro on Author is on Robin Gianna and her latest release, Her Greek Doctor's Proposal! And there's a giveaway as well!
Intro - I'm the author of Harlequin Mills & Boon Medical Romance
My
life - I have a recent college grad daughter who just moved back to
town for her new job (woohoo!), a son in college, and my 'baby' is in
high school. When I'm not juggling writing with family life, I play
piano, garden and love to cook (and eat!).
Influences
- I loved reading Harlequin romances as a teen, and am so excited to be
writing them now! I also adored the old gothic romances by Victoria
Holt and Mary Stewart, and historicalsby Georgette Heyer back then. Now I
love reading all kinds of romances by amazing authors too numerous to
count.
How
I write - I'm not a plotter, but I've learned I have to have some kind
of roadmap of turning points to aim for. So when I'm first starting a
book, I come up with an idea, think hard about who my characters are,
what they want, and what's going to get in the way of them getting it.
Then I come up with what's going to happen at the beginning, about a
quarter through, then the middle, and a big black moment. After I feel
like I've got those bones in place, I dive in!
Motivation
- This is a question I'm not always sure about! :-) I guess it must
be that I have to for some reason, because I've had an awful lot of
what seemed like good reasons to stop, but still keep at it in spite of
them.
