Do you have a sexy teaser you’d like to share with us?
“Of course!”~ Bree M. Lewandowski
The warm hum from his voice stopped. Martina looked up. Those eyes made of granite drank in the deep blue of her own, as if parched. His hands moved off the doorframe and fell on her shoulders. At his touch, a tremble overtook her body. The steel eyes smoldered. Slowly, carefully, giving her all the time in the world to stop him, Maraav slid the coat off her shoulders, letting it drop to the floor.
Please welcome my fellow Writer Zen Garden author, Bree to the Clog Blog! Bree, can you tell us a little about yourself and your background?
I am a married lady with three fur babies and a day job as a dance teacher. Gosh, I don’t know. I love pasta and I can’t swim. My background in writing is due in a large part to years spent homeschooled by my mother in a very English heavy program. I wasn’t allowed to type “the sky is blue” unless I could prove it. Lots of times my head hurt, but I think it opened me up to how wonderful writing could be.
So, what have you written?
My twenties were spent in front of a computer writing fanfiction. And while that gave me a craving for writing for an audience, I could never finish a book. That is, until, National Novel Writing Month two years ago. It was the first time I got from Page 1 to The End. That amazing feeling spurned me to try again the next year and Under Winter Lights is now the finished project of last year’s NaNoWriMo.
What genre are your books?
I most frequently write romance.
What draws you to this genre?
There’s a deep, almost unexplainable, connection between two people where love is concerned. Whether that love is romantic or not, when it binds people together, it’s out of this world. That need to love and be loved is fascinating to me and I never tire of trying to illustrate it with words. Great authors before me (Margaret Mitchell, Victor Hugo) spun tales of love and how it shapes and changes all those it touches. And I want to, too.
Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer just to see where an idea takes you?
I’m halfway between plotting and winging it. Before I start to write the story, I usually have a vague outline in my head of the big plot moments. As I go, I try to fill in the gaps between those pivotal points.
How are you publishing this book and why?
I’m publishing this book independently. The decision to go this route felt natural the more I learned what kind of control a newbie author like myself might have to relinquish to land a contract with a publishing house. Elements like the cover and how the novel progresses I want to be in charge of. Call me a control freak, but it felt right.
What is your favorite positive saying?
“All human wisdom is contained in these two words-wait and hope.” ~Alexandre Dumas.
