Thank you so much for joining me today — and let me just say how much I loved reading Caught by Surprise! To start this Q&A off, how did you come up with the theme and characters for the last book in this series, Caught by Surprise?   JT: I’ve always loved reading stories about wallflowers, so knew at some point I’d get around to writing a series with that theme. There’s just something appealing about ladies who are overlooked by society, something that makes you want to cheer them on. Being the underdog leaves plenty...

So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition! RR: Hi Kristi! Thanks for joining me on Rachel’s Back Talk today! To start, when did you know that you wanted to be a writer? KH: I was in elementary school and an author came to visit. He said the book we’d read started as a project in his English class. Being a kid, I heard “I wrote a book in 4th grade” and started thinking I could do it. Several years later, I actually did. RR: That sounds like me! So how would you describe your writing process? Are you more of a planner or...

We love having you hear! You’ve written about many other true historical couples. What drew you to write about Newton and Polly? JH: Like most people, I’m familiar with the song Amazing Grace and knew it was written by John Newton who’d once been an atheist slave trader. I’d even heard a little bit about John Newton’s saving grace moment when he was aboard a ship during a life-threatening storm and cried out to God. However, I’d never heard anything...

So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition!  RR: Hi Amber! It’s great to have you here today. To start off, when did you know that you wanted to be a writer? AP: Hi, Rachel!! First of all, thank you so much for having me—what a treat to be here! I love this first question. I never really grew up with the idea that I wanted to be a writer, actually. I mean, I loved to daydream and even came up with a few story ideas (which I’ll mention more about in a little bit) but I always figured writing would be too difficult for...

So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition!  RR: Hi Elizabeth! It is great to have your here at Rachel’s Back Talk today. How did you come up with the idea for From This Moment? EC: I knew that this book was going to have a perma-free novella to introduce it, so I had to design a story big enough to encompass two separate releases. Promotional novellas almost always focus on secondary characters from the main novel while providing a sneak peek at the future lead character. I asked my editor if I could try something a little different. I’ve always been intrigued...

So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition!   RR: Hi Karen! It’s so great to have you here with us today. With nearly a dozen published books and novellas under your belt now, is it challenging to find new story ideas that feel fresh in a genre as popular as historical romance? KW: Yes, it is very challenging. In fact, I don’t think of myself as a naturally creative person. Many authors I talk to have drawers full of ideas that they’ve filed away for future stories. Me – well, I deal with one idea at a time. Often my inspiration comes from books...
