I wanted something unique yet not too complicated, or hard to pronounce at the same time.<br /><br />@Christine I love them all, even the bad guys ;) But I suppose Kae is my favorite, followed closely by Issa.

Most of it is made up stuff, only slightly based on real life situations, though.<br /><br />@Renald Yes, sort of. I can't actually remember when I decided that I wanted to write, the wish has just always been with me ;)<br /><br />@Donna Not really. I knew how my characters were and the general situation they were in, but the ending came to me only after I started to write.

@Sherry Yes, all the books w...More questions, yay!<br /><br />@Sherry Yes, all the books will follow these same characters. The entire series is actually their story and they form its heart and soul ;)<br /><br />@Lexi I'm glad you like the sound of it. And, yes, it was awesome to get it all out of my head. As a writer, I don't have much of a problem just writing the story. It's the revision and editing that take me a long time ;)<br /><br />@Linda I'm planning to release Book 2 in the fall. Protector is currently only available from Amazon, but you can also find the kindle version on Amazon UK at http://amzn.to/FRNSTU(and at other European Amazon sites), if that helps. I'll be releasing a print version later this month. BTW, Book Depository is also my fav book seller ;) Thanks for your interest!<br /><br />@mcv This is the first part of a two book story.<br /><br />@Heather Nice to meet you too! Yes, I designed the cover myself. Took me about two weeks to learn enough to do it.<br /><br />@Sophia and @searching4princecharming The story is based on the belief in twin souls and soul mates. I was so fascinated by the idea I just had to write a book about it ;) Love in all shapes and sizes, so to speak, plays a central role in the story, though there's plenty of other themes to balance it out.<br /><br />@MJB I made up all the names myself, as I didn't want to use commonplace names. I tried to keep them simple though, to avoid annoying my readers ;)<br /><br />@Denise I'm planning to write at least one more novel in this series, though that could stretch into three. This story will be pretty much concluded in book 2, Decision Maker, though.<br /><br />@Darcy Thanks! I'm glad you like the cover ;<br /><br />@Barbara Since I self-published the actual publishing only took me a few days ;) So that's about 2 years from idea to publication.Vannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13700306025615253431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-30522167823579196222012-04-13T03:22:35.753-02:002012-04-13T03:22:35.753-02:00I saw the questions/answers as to how long it took...I saw the questions/answers as to how long it took to write/edit your book...how long did it take to get your book published?<br /><br />barbbattaglia @ yahoo.comBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026687148684681149noreply@blogger.com
