Book of the Week!

Thanks to everyone who voted this weekend! Expecting Royal Twins! was voted LASR's Book of the Week!

I'm so excited. A book of mine hasn't won anything since way back in 2002 when In Deep Waters... won the Romantic Times Best Silhouette Romance Award so this is very cool for me.

One of the prizes was the nifty button on the right! I also received this video made by Goddess Fish Promotions:



Today, I'm talking about how a character comes to me at My Eclectic Bookshelf. I hope you'll stop by and say hi! Remember your comment there enters you to win a $20 Amazon gift card.

Slow Me Down

Not being able to do much when my head was all stuffy gave me some time to visit and play at my favorite time wasters. I hadn't been to a few in a while. I stopped by Free Rice and Websudoku, but didn't stay long. Both of those required thinking. So I headed to YouTube where I hit the jackpot!

I found the perfect song for my heroine's character and the first song for the book's soundtrack that I use when I'm writing. Even better, Pride and Prejudice clips are set to the music. How perfect is that?



With that in mind, I tried to picture what she looked like. I came up with that, too. Scarlett Johansson!

So even though I didn't get a lot of pages written, this will help me. Listening to the songs are a quick way to put me into the story so I can start writing right away.

I still haven't figured out who will be the inspiration for my hero. He's a web developer. Irish descent. Dark hair with green eyes. Have any suggestions for me?
