Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself and which Twinsie do you know.<\/strong><\/p>\nHi, My name is Brooke Page. I live in the beautiful state of Michigan with my husband, two children, and three cats. I work at a school part time in the computer lab, and write romance on the side when I can find time. I like romantic suspense, but am currently dabbling in a rockstar series. The Twinsie I know is the lovely Tenise! We’ve known each other for almost 8 years! We met through the book world \ud83d\ude42\n

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nI’d say the first book. It’s so important to have a good set up, and I typically think of the big BOOM moment, which typically comes later in the series. I’ve written many ending scenes prior to beginning books.\n

<\/p>\n

What comes first? The plot or characters?<\/strong><\/p>\nIt depends on who’s talking in my head. Typically, I get a plot idea first, then build the characters around that.\n

<\/p>\n

What is harder? The blurb writing, naming the book, or naming the series?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nBLURB! I loath writing blurbs, it’s such an important part of the writing process that it causes me anxiety.\n

<\/p>\n

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nI’ve had readers come up to me at signings telling me how much certain characters relate to them. I love when readers find my characters relatable and help to give them perspective on their lives.\n

<\/p>\n

What is your definition of success?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nBe happy at what you do. I’ll never turn down a moment to write. I figure the day when I don’t “feel like it” will be the day the fire has gone out.\n
