Interview with Regina Tittel

Published 2015-10-31.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I wanted control over my book cover and spiritual content.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
By offering my books are numerous formats.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Sharing God's truth with others.
What do your fans mean to you?
They encourage and motivate me to keep writing!
What are you working on next?
I'm currently finishing another historical series with several other authors focusing on mail-order brides. Then I'll go back to finishing Awakened Love, book 2 of the After the Vows series.
Who are your favorite authors?
I enjoy so many it's hard to pinpoint.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
Everything! I'm a morning person so I'm eager to get started with my day. First, I see my husband off to work, then I start the morning off in prayer and Bible reading, then I write before the children awake.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I'm always busy with my hands, via baking, sewing, quilting, woodworking, gardening, etc. I also homeschool which keeps me very busy!
How do you discover the ebooks you read?
Either through a recommendation or I follow up on an author I like to see what's new.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Since I never planned to be an author, it really all started with Abandoned Hearts.
What is your writing process?
I always try to plot. If I can get a very thorough plot on paper, then the book writes as smooth as butter. If I hurry the process and start writing before the plot is done, it takes so much longer. I write at least an hour Mon -Fri averaging 500-1000 words each time.
