Sheryl, please tell us something about yourself.
It's amazing that an author can have so much to say until she
is presented with that question. Writing is a passion with me. There are many
plots turning inside my head. Creating characters and situations thrills and
exhausts me. I'm healthy, absolutely adore being alive and regard life as a
marvelous adventure and a great gift. I share my office with a huge black cat
named Max.
Please tell us how you decided you wanted to write romance
novels. Did any author influence you?
I must confess that in the beginning I did not plan to write a
romance novel. Initially, I considered the book to be a member of the
suspense/thriller/mystery genre. As the lead characters evolved, I realized that
Matt and Alex truly and deeply loved each other and were prepared to die for
that love. I found that many readers who attended my book signings had come to
see me because they adored Matt and Alex and wanted to know when a sequel about
them would be forthcoming. Finally, I discovered the romantic suspense genre,
which I think describes A Deadly Exchange very well. Love and murder,
what a delightful combination!
