The Romantic Side of Suspense Author Sarah Hamaker
Lenora Worth’s Lifelong Desire to Write (Episode 32)
“I don’t know how I’ve written 80 books,” Lenora said. “I’ve always wanted to write from a young age, and when I finally had the opportunity, it took a few years. I really enjoy writing and I have a vivid imagination. When I look back, I think how I did I do that. I’ve written novels, novellas, short stories, poetry, worked for newspapers, worked for magazines—and it was all coming from this need to put words on the page.”
Sara Blackard’s Early Morning Inspiration (Episode 31)
“It was kind of difficult finding a balance to write at first,” Sara said. “I primarily get up early—and it’s hopefully before anyone else is up—between five and five-thirty, and then try to get as much writing as I can before everyone else is getting up. Whatever writing doesn’t get done, I try to fit it in between math, etc.”
Movies Provide Inspiration For Gina Holder (Episode 30)
“When watching movies, I use them to draw inspiration as far as character ideas, flaws for the characters, plot engines, and how other writers have put together the steps to create the plots,” Gina said. “When I relax my mind that way, I’m also able to think of things for my own books and ideas come to mind.”
Deena Alexander on Balancing Romance, Suspense & Faith (Episode 29)
“For me, I think there are a few things hard about writing romantic suspense,” Deena said. “One is keeping up that level of suspense through the whole story. Second, balancing that with the romance. Since I write inspirational, it’s also balancing the faith element with the suspense and romance—all while not letting the story get boring.”
