How The Witches Came Into My Life
Many thanks to Bitten By Books for having me here to talk about witches and how they came to choose me.
As a fan of paranormal books, it was a given I’d start writing them. After writing a few for Harlequin American Romance and Silhouette Intimate Moments, I knew I wanted to write MORE.
The thing is what would I write? My agent at the time suggested dark edgy vampires and while I enjoy reading about them, it didn’t strike a chord with me. I have a dark, demented, and quirky sense of humor. How would that work with the nightwalkers?
What I usually do is let my imagination take over. Think of it as soup simmering on the stove.
Before I knew it, Jazz Tremaine hopped into my head. From the beginning I knew she was a 700+ year young witch who’d been expelled from the Witches Academy. That she eliminated curses, drove a ’57 T-Bird convertible haunted by a cranky ghost, and she wore magick bunny slippers.
Jazz was just the tip of the iceberg and from the first word I wrote I knew witches was what I was supposed to write.
So let’s talk witches. For TV and movie, do you prefer Samantha Stevens, Witches of Eastwick or Practical Magic witches?
If you were a witch what would be your first spell?
