Now it’s time for some Q & A:

1. Who is your favorite heroine & hero you’ve ever written?

   Venus and Drake from Single Sashimi. I liked those characters the best because Venus is strong and capable,and Drake is an alpha male without being a jerk. And I liked the
   chemistry they ended up having on the page

    2. What is the ‘behind the scenes story’ for the creation of that hero & heroine?

   Out of all the characters I’ve written so far, both published and
   unpublished, Venus and Drake are the strongest with the strongest chemistry between them on the page. I didn’t plan for that to happen,
   it just did. It all started with the first kiss–and those of you who have read the book know what I’m referring to. I actually hadn’t planned on that kiss happening at that moment, but when I wrote the scene, suddenly, Drake had grabbed her and I felt like I had no control over the book! From there, their interactions always had that
   spark of both conflict and attraction, and it was magical.

 Their characters solidified as the book went on.

 Character Creation Tip of the Day:

Spice, Sizzle, and Chemistry. One of the best ways to sparkle up the scenes in your story is to make sure your two lead characters have a special connection, or attraction. If it means you place two opposites together to ignite a spark, or cause people with two different goals to crash wills, it makes for an explosive story.
