Smashwords Interview

What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I love being able to immerse myself in new worlds that I get to create and getting inside the heads of my characters. Sometimes I can even hear their voices in my head. It makes it all very real for me. Then I can sit back and enjoy reading what I wrote. If I can't enjoy it, then it's not worth doing!
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I have a daughter who is autistic, so a great deal of my time is spent with her. Otherwise I am reading. :)

Smashwords book reviews by Renee Scattergood

  • Addy's Choice on March 22, 2015

    *** I was given a free review copy of this book *** Two words…Loved it! I’m not usually a big fan of romance, but this book really sucked me in. I didn’t want it to end. I love a story that feels real and that’s how Addy’s Choice felt to me. Even the “love at first site” aspect didn’t have that fairytale quality that usually turns me off in a romance. I knew from the moment the two main character, Addy Baxter and Sebastian Davies, met it was a deep, almost spiritual, recognition that drew them together, despite Addy’s misgivings. Every character in the story came alive; their personalities were so genuine I really felt like I was reading about people who might exist in the real world. I fell in love with all of them. It’s not easy to create a deeply intense and emotional story, but Nat Hobson (a.k.a Melissa Barker-Simpson) really pulled it off. I cried and laughed and cried again. I can’t wait to read Heart of Fire, the next book in the series.
