Multi-published author Rhonda Starnes recently stopped by to share some about her writing life.
When do you find time to write?
I’ve recently started dictating my books using an app on my cell phone. It’s been great because I can write while I do other things, like loading the dishwasher or making the bed. And it’s boosted my productivity because I write best when I’m multitasking.
What did you want to be as a child (and did that dream come true)?
I wanted to be an author. I loved books! When I grew up and had a family of my own, i became a teacher, which I loved. But now I’m retired, and I get to enjoy the career of my childhood dreams.
What does your family think of your writing romantic suspense?
My husband and my daughter are my biggest cheerleaders. And my eight-year-old grandson Logan has recently become a big supporter of my writing. Last year, he saw his mom reading one of my books, and when she told him it was one of the books that I had written, he asked her if he could read it. So they now read my books together (with his mom skimming over some of the killing scenes). He really enjoyed the twin brothers in Uncovering Colorado Secrets. I think it’s his favorite book so far.
What is absolutely essential for you to write?
If I’m sitting at my desk instead of dictating the scene, I usually have jazz music playing softly in the background. Snacks would include coffee or tea (depending on time of day) and cheese and crackers or Dove chocolate.
