Okay so it looks like I fell off the planet. Promise - I'm still here. The last four years have been ... hard. There's no other word for it. Everything is fine. I'm fine, but I've been the caregiver of my mom who has Dementia. Between her needs, work, etc I seem to have lost control of my time. I am still writing and am trying hard to get back to my blog.

In case you weren't aware Phaze and HSWF which where under the Mundania Umbrella have closed. I was smart enough to get my titles back before all this happened. I'm happy to say the three books I sold to HSWF have been picked up by Melange Books and are available through their Satin Books imprint. I have even sold a new title to them called Magical Quest due out in 2022

I have also been lucky enough to find a publisher for my Vespian Way series. I'm now with Blushing Books under the name of Bethany Drake. I have five titles out with them right now and am close to submitting two more. There's Desire's Destiny, Desire's Duty and Desire's Promise. Then there is two in my werewolf series, Tears of the Queen and Legend of the Tears. I have just finished the rough draft of the third book in the series and have plans for a fourth one the moment I submit it.

I'll probably still be sporadic here on the blog. Unless I win the lottery and can hire someone to help me I can't avoid it, but know I'm still here still working hard in the background and am hoping to do better at keeping my blog alive.

Writing Down the Bones: Interview Questions for your Characters - Love-Ability

I had planned on posting this last night but ended up waiting until this morning. This is the last installment of the hand out. Now we're dealing with the ability your characters have to love. This one I did reword it a bit.

Enjoy!

1.) Do your characters fall in love? Or is it a gradual process? Do they notice when it happens? Do they try to stop it? Why?

2.) Why don't they want to to have love in their lives?

3.) What makes this partner unique to your character? Is there something the partner loves about them that no one else does?

4.) What parts of loving comes easy to your character? What part comes hard?

5.) Are your characters easy to fall in love with? Easy to love? Why?

6.) What dream to they give up when they accept love into their lives?
