Me: Do you prefer writing single title or series?
Michelle: I like stories that stand alone, but I like having more than one set in the same world. As a reader, I like to get glimpses into what’s going on with other characters as a series progresses and so I write that way, too.
Me: I love a good conflict. What draws your main characters to each other and keeps them apart?
Michelle: Usually the first thing bringing my characters together is sexual attraction and intense chemistry. They quickly discover that a relationship has to be built on more than great sex and that’s where the conflict comes in. At least one of them has something they’re keeping from the other person, or else they have different expectations for the relationships. Sometimes there’s also external conflict in the form of a psycho ex, or an angry parent.
Me: What’s your favorite sub-genre to write? To read?
Michelle: I find it easiest to write contemporary. I’ve started to dabble in sci-fi and paranormal, but I’m still uneasy about world building, because I love to read paranormal especially, and I know how picky readers can be when there are inconsistencies in the world the author has created.
Me: I usually get plot ideas in the shower and while driving. When/where does inspiration strike you?
Michelle: I often get ideas while showering or driving, too. I think it’s because those are the rare moments in the day when I don’t have other people competing for attention. Although occasionally I’ll get an idea in a strange place, like the grocery store, or the library.
Me: What new stories are you working on?
Michelle: I’m waiting on edits for the next book in my Losing It series and getting the third book ready to submit. I’ve also started a sci-fi story for a new series being developed by Evernight and it’s been a lot of fun to imagine sexy aliens and the out-of-this-world stuff they can do! Plus I’ve got tons of ideas swimming around in my head begging to be written.
