Intro on: Pippa Roscoe, A Ring to Take His Revenge (The Winner's Circle)

This week we are introducing author Pippa Roscoe and her new book, A Ring to Take His Revenge (The Winner's Circle).

Mills & Boon author Pippa Roscoe lives in Norfolk near her family and makes daily promises that this will be the day she will leave the computer and take a long walk in the countryside. She can’t remember a time when she wasn’t dreaming of gorgeous alpha males and misunderstood heroines. Totally her mother’s fault of course—she gave Pippa her first romance to read at the age of seven! She is inconceivably happy that she gets to share those daydreams with her readers.

What is your writing Kryptonite?

No coffee. All joking aside, I literally can't function without coffee. I'm mean, miserable, moody... all the 'm's'. And there's no way that I can sit down with my notebook, or at my laptop, and try to do any kind of writing with a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp. (That's a particularly English phrase, but I'm thinking that it will translate). With coffee, I can write anywhere, and for as long as the creativity goddess keeps shining. 

Did you ever consider writing under a pseudonym?

I did consider writing under a pseudonym but only because I wanted to create an 'author persona' to help distance me from any possible future negativity. Having worked with authors before, I knew how powerfully that can affect the way an author sees themselves and their work. But I love this genre, the books that we write within that genre and decided that I was happy to take the bad if I also got to own the good. I'm proud of what we write and the love and the happy-ever-afters we create and every time I see my name on a copy of my book, it makes me jump for joy and fist pump. (Internally, of course, not necessarily in the book aisle of my food shop. Although that has been known to happen!)  

Do you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?

I try to write the books that I want to read. Yes, there is always an awareness or mindfulness of what the readers like or what they're looking for but before I was a writer I was a reader and that will always be what guides me.  I have to have something in my book that excites me and that allows me to channel that excitement because I don't think that the readers would enjoy my stories if I don't enjoy writing them.
