On this episode of “The Romantic Side of Suspense,” I’m chatting with PeggySue Wells, a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 30 books translated into eight languages including The Patent, Chasing Sunrise, Homeless for the Holidays
PeggySue collaborates often with writers and others to get their stories told. “I write well with others,” she said. Her co-author Max Garland gave her 10 bullet points and told her to write The Patent, and the two collaborated on the details and plot.
On this episode of “The Romantic Side of Suspense,” my guest is Debbi Migit, who lives in central Illinois, surrounded by pumpkin patches and corn fields. Her Justice, Montana, series begins with September Shadows. Debbi’s first book, Child of Promise, tells the true story of the adoption of her three children. She has won multiple awards and contests, writing stories that are filled with faith and hope. Debbi’s hobbies include reading, writing, and avoiding arithmetic. Her favorite color is turquoise, and she collects Trixie Belden books and typewriters. If playing Candy Crush was a paying gig, she would be rich.
“I’ve been a writer since I was seven years old, “Debbi said. “I wrote my first story when I was in first grade even though I couldn’t read or write. … I told my mom a story and she wrote it down for me and I took it to my teacher and she read it. That was my very first entry and I continued to write all through grade school … and won my first writing contest in seventh grade.”
On this episode of “The Romantic Side of Suspense,” I’m talking with Michelle Aleckson, who, after growing up on both the East and West coasts, now loves living the country life in central Minnesota with her own hero and four children. She rocks out to 80s music on a Saturday night, enjoys playing board games, and is a hopeless romantic. And if you’re wondering, yes, Sass is her maiden name. She writes contemporary romance with plenty of suspense and a dash of sass.
“I love different genres in romance,” Michelle said. “Now I write both straight romance and romantic suspense. … But I do have suspense elements in my contemporary romance. … I feel like it enhances the romantic side of the story. … I really love playing in both worlds, so it’s been a good fit for me.”
