\"Captivated:<\/p>\n

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Tyranni Thomas. I’m a former long term care nurse with a love of history. I write Dark Romance with intense steam and brutal situations. <\/span><\/p>\n

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first book is sometimes difficult, because I’ll set down with a story in mind, and all these side characters will push to the front with stories of their own that I have to stop and write down for their own books. That is what happened with Soiled Dove. I had no intention of making it a series, but Aunt Flossie became such a personality that she had to have her own book, War Whore. Which was only odd because chronologically her story takes place before book one. <\/span><\/p>\n

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not sure what you mean by fresh. I keep the series straight by maintaining a notebook to keep all the characters, events, dates, and details available at a glance. I also, write in a way that I hope allows people to appreciate the book even if they haven’t read the ones before it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just write. Even if it is only a little bit when you can. The more you write, the better your craft will get. <\/span><\/p>\n

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

4-5 hours<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. My favorite character that I have written thus far is Aunt Flossie of the Soiled Dove series. She is a civil war survivor. A woman who has more backbone and grit than most of the men who walk into her brothel. She is a fierce, protective role model for other women in her situation and she lives her life unapologetically. She is the ultimate Historical Badass Heroine.<\/span><\/p>\n
