About
Where to start? Well, I guess I have to start where it all began.
I first fell in love with books when I was a very small child and the love affair has never ended. By the time I was 12, I began writing my own stories. For a while I kept my stories to myself, some have long since disappeared.
Being raised in Louisiana has given a little extra spice to the stories I create. Though my first story with The Dark Castle Lords is tame by comparison to others I’ve written. My next story for them will show that ‘extra spice’. I’ve found I can write just about anything with enough research. But I’m favoring writing a few more stories based in Louisiana and Texas, areas I know well and still love though I no longer live there. Not quite sure I’m ready to write about Virginia yet.
Most of my stories are romantic suspense, but a few are paranormal. I’ve learned that I really have to enjoy the genre I write, if I don’t it doesn’t make for a good story. I love writing heroines who are tough and can stand up to their man, yet at the same time, need his help and support. I have been known to use friends in my stories, which often makes for good natured ribbing once they’ve spotted themselves. Of course, I camouflage them enough that it’s often hard to spot them right away.
I was asked recently by a friend of mine, if I wrote for the money or the fame. I answered honestly, “Neither, I write for the hot cover models.” Okay, then I told her the truth, I don’t write for money or fame, I write because I enjoy it and I know there are some people out there who will read my work and though it won’t change their lives, it will put a smile on their face. The hot cover models are just a bonus.
As for books, well, I have a love affair with books. My favorite authors are: Sherrilyn Kenyon - I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her and she is a wonderful person, Laurell K. Hamilton, Nora Roberts, Karen Marie Moning, Kim Harrison and of course, Charlaine Harris. I don’t stick with just one genre or sub-genre. I’ve been known to read a John Grisham novel and of late, Aiden Rocke’s book, Rogue Threat.
I would love to hear from readers and authors alike. You can email me at liadanbrodie@gmail.com
