Welcome
to Jagged Edge!
Would
you like to tell us a little about yourself?
My
name’s Carol and I’m a romance author, I’ve been writing for
about three years and there’s parts of the industry I’m still
learning about along the way. I’ve released three books so far. The
first book Going Home Again was traditional, while Westmore and
Westmore: The Aftermath were self-published.
What
inspired you to write?
I’ve
been interested in writing since I was a teenager, it helped get me
through some difficult times, and it was an escape outlet for me.
Writing became a passionate hobby for me; I loved it so much that I
decided this is what I’d like to do for a living. After college I
set out on the journey to become an author.
What
authors influenced you as a writer?
One
of the first romance novels I read was Keeping Faith by Janice
MacDonald and it helped me get a feel for the genre and inspired me
to write romance novels.
What
is your favorite quote?
“Go
confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have
imagined.”Henry David
Thoreau
If
you could jump in to a book, and live in that world, which would it
be?
Growing up I thought it’d be great to live in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
What
is at least one thing that every writer needs to have or do?
I
think every writer needs to have a notebook, where they can write
their book ideas and keep track of their progress.
Are
your books different than your personal favorite books by other
authors?
My
writing is different from romance authors, because most authors have
the steamy love scenes, while I like to tease the readers with
couples kissing and touching each other, and leave everything else
behind the bedroom door.
What
led you to writing in this genre?
To
be truthful, I never cared for romance novels, but within the last
couple of years I started getting hooked on them. When I decided to
become a writer, I didn’t know what genre to choose, then after
reading my first romance novel, I decided this is the genre that’s
going to suit me.
What
is your favorite part of the writing process?
My
favorite part is thinking of the characters and plots.
Least
favorite part of the writing process?
Editing
can sometimes be a pain in the neck. During the process, I have to go
over the manuscript a couple of times, and each time I do I catch a
mistake that I missed earlier or I decide to switch scenes around. It
can be a hassle, but it’s one of the things you have to do as a
writer.
What
are you currently working on?
I’m
working on volume 4 of Westmore, which I plan to release next year.
Where
readers can find you?
I’m
on every social media outlet there is.

QUESTION:
Was
there a question you wish I would have asked but didn't?
I
wish you would have asked my opinions on self-publishing.
