I see for starters the ‘Learning to Love’ series that has three books so far, all with very different personalities in them. Looking over your backlist I see an impressive list built in a short time. They take care of everything – covers, publicity… Especially as now my writing pays the bills.īut publishing with Dreamspinner is wonderful. It’s a faster process and I get to see the results of my labor faster, too. That’s usually about a week – damn, they read fast! – then off to Sue, my editor, and then I sit down and run it through the software before uploading it onto Amazon, All Romance, etc… When I self-publish, once I’ve finished the book, it’s off to my beta readers. When I submit a book to Dreamspinner, there’s a waiting time till I find out if it’s been accepted, then five-six months before it comes out. You self-publish some stories as well as publishing with Dreamspinner. It’s SOOOOOO easy to get distracted… the Internet, friends on Facebook (Yeah, Max Vos, I mean you… 🙂 ) stuff round the house, the Internet, shopping, the Internet… Yeah, you get the picture… When I stay at home? That’s another story. There are no distractions and I just get on with writing. When I go down to my little writing room by the sea, it’s easy. There’s only one negative that I can see. But as for writing full-time, I love it! It’s wonderful to spend a day on the laptop and at the ned of it, I can read it over and think, “YES! It was a good day.” My friends comment these days that I look so much happier. Well, losing the EDJ certainly changed my life. Now you’re writing full time did it change your life ? And if it did, was it all positive or were there also negative sides to that? So I thought about that idea for a book I’d had a year previously…. My doctor actually said that I needed an outlet, something to focus on. Then when the job became so stressful that my health suffered, it was time to do something. I’ve always been creative – I paint, sew, play the clarinet – but I haven’t been able to do those things for a while because the demands of my job were simply too much.
What made you take that final step?īeing so stressed in my job that I had to do something. When I look at your bio I notice you started writing not too long ago but wanted to for quite some time before that. Well, it’s lovely to be here! Thanks for having me. Thank you for coming over to the blog of Sid Love to answer some questions! It’s a great pleasure having you here ! 🙂
