Someone just asked me the other day if a character I\u00a0wrote in Passionate Destiny<\/em> had anything to do with my husband, Jack. The character’s name is Jackson, and while his character<\/em> is not much like hubby’s, I like to include some variation of Jack’s name in most of my books. (Ever notice how many heroes and\/or villains are named Jack?) If I don’t actually use his name, I usually add something of him, like\u00a0noting his alma mater, Virginia Military Institute (go, VMI!), in Impatient Passion,<\/em> or a description of where he took me on our honeymoon in my latest book, Naval Maneuvers<\/em>. I think every author puts something of themselves in their books\u2014we draw from what we know or have experienced, right?<\/p>\n

I think also, that writing itself is such a personal endeavor. We’re often writing alone, in our own little worlds. I feel like each and every book is a kind of mini-Me in some way. Can’t get much more personal than that. \ud83d\ude09 My biggest goal is that the personal bits I add to my works will be liked and enjoyed by readers!<\/p>\n

Thanks!
