New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Cynthia D\u2019Alba started writing on a challenge from her husband in 2006 and discovered having imaginary sex with lots of hunky men was fun. She was born and raised in a small Arkansas town. After being gone for a number of years, she\u2019s thrilled to be making her home back in Arkansas living in a vine-covered cottage on the banks of an eight-thousand acre lake. When she\u2019s not reading or writing or plotting, she\u2019s doorman for her a spoiled Border Collie and Parti-Yorkie puppy, cook, housekeeper and chief bottle washer for her husband and slave to a noisy, messy parrot. She loves to chat online with friends and fans.

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

The following books because I want to revisit earlier couples, give the reader a brief update, and keep consistent. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

I try to find twists and turns in the story. Romance Readers are savvy, They know all the tropes, so the fun is trying to surprise the reader<\/span><\/p>\n

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

A two different support groups…Group 1 made up of fellow authors who understand what the aspiring author is going through and can help advise and support. Group 2 to made up of friends outside the writing world to give the author a mental break from the writing and the stress<\/span><\/p>\n

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

3-4 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

In my last week, (Texas Bombshell) I have a 15 year old brainiac with a sassy attitude<\/span><\/p>\n
