Author Interview-Lynda Bailey

I’m pleased to welcome Lynda Bailey, one of my fellow Sierra Romance Writers.

What inspired you to become a writer?

Guess you could say I wasn’t so much “inspired” to be a writer as desperate to get all the freakin’ stories and characters outta my head. They just kept clamoring at my skull until I got ‘em down on paper. LOL

Who are your favorite romance characters (besides your own?)

Without a doubt, Houston, Dallas and Austin Leigh from Lorraine Heath’s Texas trilogy. Loooooove those guys! They’re hard, but with a soft spot in their hearts for the women in their lives. If you’ve never read Lorraine Heath, you should. She’s an amazing storyteller who’ll make you laugh and cry –probably in the same paragraph.

Tell me what inspired this story.

Interesting story there. It was first inspired by the name of a repo business called, Accounts Retrievable. The business has long since closed, but the name got me thinking. What about a story about a woman who owns a repo business? A no-nonsense, tough as nails woman who’s got a serious soft spot for her alcoholic dad? Put her in a completely foreign situation – surrounded by upper echelon society folk – and watch what happens.

How do you balance your day-to-day commitments with your writing life?

I try to write in the mornings, after walking the dogs and eating breakfast. Mornings are usually best for me to write because my brain isn’t cluttered with other “stuff.” Afternoons are left for errands, appointments and chores. Evenings are for spending time with DH. But we recently bought a new house so my routine has been apple-carted. Lately it’s been write when I’ve got a spare minute. J

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
