Great interview, Elissa! I loved reading about you. It is good that your husband is so supportive of you and gives you ideas. You are very fortunate. I love the cover of your book by the way!

Hi Elissa!
The book sounds wonderful. I have to agree, if my dead abusive mother became my guide, I’d be pretty ticked as well! Thanks for the interview!

Hi Melissa – so glad you made it!!! I’m almost packed. (I’m terrible at packing light so I could be at it for awhile) Hope you all have a great rest of the week! Elissa

Hi Keri! I can’t believe I missed saying hi to you earlier. And I totally agree with you – folks forgetting that your hero isn’t – um – real is a HUGE compliment to the writer!!!

Vicki, thanks again for having me here. I’m off to pack for the Romantic Times convention in Orlando. I can’t wait!!

Best to you all! Happy writing and READING!! Elissa

HI Laurie K! I’m so glad you liked the book. And shoot – I have a hard time driving by a Karaoke bar…LOL. So next time you’re heading out to one. Anne-Marie, I don’t change a TON of the plot as I write. However, sometimes, something big jumps out at me as I’m going along and says – nope – not going to work – and then I come up with something different. So, mostly the book stays the same, but there is always something that changes along the way. As for Michael – I actually did sort of base a secondary character on him in BL&D – Reese. Reese looks like Michael. And his personality is quite a bit like Michael, too. Truthfully, there are bits of lots of people I know in my characters. I think it’s impossible NOT to use what we know in our books. Thanks everyone! So glad to see you all here! Blessings, Elissa

Hey Vicki – Hey Elissa. Elissa, I plot similar to you (mine just takes tons longer. lol) Do you find you have to change a lot of your plot outline as you write? Or when you initially come up with it, it’s set in stone – or near stone.:) You’re so lucky to have a special hero (Michael) in your life. Do you use Michael for your character model? If not in appearance, traits? I can’t wait to see the baby again.
