Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.
My name is Tricia Andersen. I write all sorts of romance – paranormal, Greek god, fighter, contemporary, historical and fantasy. I live in Iowa with my husband. I also have three children and my four-legged baby, Kinnick.
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
I think the first book is the hardest because I have to create the world I am writing about along with the characters. When I work on the additional books in the series, those details are already there.
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I like to dive deeper into the world I set up or expose something about a character that the reader didn’t know. I also like to introduce action scenes to keep it face paced.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Don’t give up. It can be overwhelming but getting that book out is definitely possible. Slow your pace until it feels manageable again.
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
Not enough. Maybe an hour?
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
My favorite character is Freddy from the Gods of DC series. He’s passionate, snarky and is becoming a phenomenal leader.
What is your definition of success?
My definition of success is achieving my dreams. I always wanted to be a writer since I was little. I feel I have been successful.
