Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
Usually I start with a song title.

With the exception of my fairy tale inspired stories (Midsummer Suspense), all of my books came from a song title. Sometimes the subject of the song influences the storyline (like Near to You), while other times I merely take the title (Cats in Heat) and go from there. Usually within a series, the titles are all by the same artist (Stirling Falls are all Rolling Stones songs, for example).

Once I have the title and the premise, I dive right in and write. I try to write straight through until I finish the book, but sometimes I got a month or even a year before I get back to a particularly long book. My first draft usually resembles the later ones--I try to get things as "right" as possible the first time--and then go to my editor for review.
How do you approach cover design?
I do all my own covers and have since my first book was published. I go for simple, striking, and representative of the story. It's important to me to ensure the ethnicities of my characters are represented first and foremost.
