Christine, what is a typical work day like for you? Also, do you take certain periods of time off every year - such as the summer - so you can have fun? Thank you - it's very nice of you to make time for us.

A typical day starts with getting the dogs out, fed and walked. I have a lot of dogs and love them dearly, so they are normally first on the list of morning goals. I get myself ready for the day. Even if I don't plan on going out, I treat my writing as a job and do my best to get dressed and put on a bit of make-up. I think it helps with my mindset.
I will write before breakfast. I do something called "power hour" with friends and we call each other with our word count then write for a solid hour before calling back to share our progress. That's been very helpful in motivating me and meeting deadlines.
My day is a mix of writing, a daily walk, dogs, family that drop by, social media, more writing, and eventually I'll call it a night and watch some TV or visit with friends. See how exciting my life is! LOL
I don't take vacations really. Writing isn't just a job for me, it's my life. I find peace in writing and I don't think I could relax without it.
I do go to a few conventions and will take weekends off from social media and perhaps not write as much, but not too much time goes by without me tapping away at the keyboard.

I just finished "Fire Bound". OMG, Casmir is so hot. He is my favorite now, sorry Ilya. I just can't wait. When is Blythe and Victor's story going to be told? You have so wet my appetite for their story. You are my all around favorite paranormal author. Each of your series are amazing. I want to say your Dark series is my fav but I so, so love my Ghost Walkers and those Prakenskii men are beyond belief.

I love the Shadow Rider series. I know you are writing all the siblings and I read where you might write the cousin’s stories. Would you ever write the stories of the French contingent, the ones who police rouge shadow riders? I think that would be really interesting as you wrote they were siblings too if I am correct. Thanks for your time!
