Will you continue the Hideaway Series?
How do you maintain your creativity when creating a mini-series like Wickham Falls Weddings, Cavanaugh Island, or The Eatons?
Do you determine in advance how many books you want to include in a series?
I knew there would be ten titles in the Wickham Falls Weddings and four in the upcoming Bainbridge House series.
Which genre do you prefer writing: romance or women's fiction?
I find writing series romance a challenge because I'm not permitted to draw outside the lines. However, it is very gratifying to know that my hero and heroine are guaranteed a happily ever after.
