Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.
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.
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
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.
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
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.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Just write. Even if it is only a little bit when you can. The more you write, the better your craft will get.
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
4-5 hours
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
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.
