Author Bio</h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Author of novels, novellas, and short stories, Rachel
Rossano balances her time between the chaos of raising and homeschooling her
three children and the world of drama and high adventure in her head. With her
faithful husband and chief consulting editor by her side, she dreams of many
more adventures to come in both of her double lives. Check out her work at: <a href="http://rachel-rossano.blogspot.com./">http://Rachel-rossano.blogspot.com.</a></div>

<a href="" name="_GoBack"></a><b><u>Interview with
Rachel Rossano<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<b>When did you know you wanted to be a
writer? </b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Stories were my world even as a child. I was
constantly pretending to be a princess in distress, a space ship captain on a
mission, or Robin Hood’s side kick. The stories didn’t make onto the page until
I was in my early teens. Even then, the process took so much work that I tended
to not enjoy writing. It was only when I began my third novella that I realized
I was hooked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I didn’t seriously consider being a writer as a career
until I was in the midst of college. I promptly rejected the idea of trading my
wise choice (accounting) for something with such low marketability as writing.
After all, I wasn’t interested in journalism, just creative writing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Years later, looking at the prospect that I might
never realize my dream of being a mother, I decided to pursue another dream,
writing. That was when I began seriously considering writing as a career. Here
I am, mother of three and writing part-time between mothering, keeping house,
and homeschooling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<b>What were some of your first steps toward
making your dream a reality?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">My first experience with publication was
very disappointing. I fell in with a publisher more interested in selling my
book to me than to anyone else. But I wasn’t willing to give up on the dream of
seeing more of my stories in print. So I researched, read, listened, wrote,

criteria, I discovered Lulu.com and joined the indie revolution by accident.

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I have two new releases this year. This February, <i>Duty: a novel of Rhynan</i> debuts. Written
in eight months, the fastest I have ever written a book, it began as the
winning opening line in a contest. “’The red one is mine,’ he said.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Brielle is a woman familiar with hardship. She has
lost her mother to disease, her father to old age, her title due to lack of a
brother, and her comfort because of a greedy cousin. When she finds out she
lost her freedom thanks to her cousin’s political maneuvering, she figures she
will have to make the best of it. …Except her cousin isn’t done with her or her
new husband.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Sometime around August, I am expecting to be releasing
another novel. <i>Wren (A Romany Epistle
Novel)</i> is part of a unique project. Eight of my friends and I developed an
idea of writing nine novels about nine siblings that began in the same spot and
ended in the same spot. We would each write a sibling’s story and then publish
all the books. Years later, four of the books are written, two will not be
written, and the remaining three might be finished someday. <i>Wren</i> is my contribution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Wren Romany lives by her skills as a hunter, a bounty
hunter. But, after a year and a half on the road, she wants to settle down for
the winter. Finding a nice quiet valley, she falls in with a band of veterans
from the wrong side of a recent civil war. She quickly realizes that there is
more going on in the valley than what meets the eye. The focus of the turmoil
and tension is the former nobleman and owner of the crumbing castle where she
now resides. Not one to do nothing, Wren sets about trying to improve the
situation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">My writing/editing plate is almost always full. I have
two short stories in the works. One is a mystery/romance about a maid of all
work in a Regency boarding house who gets caught in the secrets swirling around
the two male residents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The other is a side story related to <i>Duty: a novel of Rhynan</i>. It is not going
to be a happily ever after romance, though. I wanted to explain the
significance of a certain prop to a secondary character in <i>Duty</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Then there is the epic prequel to <i>Exchange</i> I have planned. Romance, interplanetary intrigue, and
politics are on the agenda for that one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<b>How do your values show up in your writing?
What do you want readers to take from your writing?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I write Clean or Sweet Romance, which means there is
no sex on the page. I believe there are some areas that need to remain intimate
between husband and wife and not on the page for everyone to read. My
characters also watch their language, usually. If they do swear, I don’t write
the words on the page. I want to write books that I can hand to my children
when they are old enough to appreciate them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I hope my writing reflects my beliefs and values, but
I work hard not to preach at the reader. I also seek to entertain, edify, and
lift up the reader. I want them to walk away from my books feeling encouraged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<b>What do you look for in a good book?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
An interesting premise, quality writing, solid characterization, a plot
that moves the book along, and a satisfying ending make up a combination that
is hard to find. I find I value topics that interest me, writing style, and
characterization highest when evaluating a book, though the other aspects need
to be there in some measure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<b>What are some of the best social media,
marketing, and publicity tips you’ve come across?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
First, have a great product. Edit, take criticism, revise, and learn.
There is no such thing as perfection and writing is a journey.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Second, on your social media accounts, offer similar things or
information that touch on the interests of your audience. For instance, I write
fantasy based heavily on history. So I post on my Facebook page and twitter
account about historical articles that interest me. I am a writer and some
other writers follow my page. Adding articles, pictures, quotes that interest
them draws them to interact on my page and make it something they look for when
they log on to their account. The same goes for reading related quotes and
extras.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
I begin promoting a book while I
write it. Offering quotes, new sentences, and other tidbits as I write invites
the followers to invest in the book even before it is finished.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
In all areas, I try to be helpful, engaging, and supportive. Going out
of my way, I can make a new friend, someone to share the publishing or reading
journey with me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Also, once you finish one book, start writing the next. The bigger you
back list the better your income. Keep growing by adding quality new novels,
novellas, and short stories to your list of published work.</div>

Author Interview:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. When did you know you wanted to be a writer? What were some of your first steps toward making your dream a reality? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t believe I ever thought about it in terms of a career. I had a good reading aptitude when I was young and liked reading adventure stories. The first thing I ever wrote was a poem to a potential girlfriend as a teenager. It wasn’t very successful, she went off to college and I never saw her again. I started many manuscripts over the years, but the first one I wrote to completion was Children of the Enemy. It then sat in a trunk for almost two decades before I found a publisher for it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. What 3 adjectives best describe you? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m curious, honest, and a realist.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Tell us about your books. Genre, titles, any favorite characters? What can we look forward to from you in the near future? WIP’s, upcoming releases </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Children of the Enemy is in the crime genre, a brutal story about the Detroit drug business. I like the anti establishment hero Ray in the story, he’s a bit of an underworld version of Dirty Harry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alpha Wolves was written a decade ago, it’s a historical romance and sequel to an earlier book, Maggie Elizabeth Harrington, which is out of print. It deals with two of my favorite themes, romance and animal intelligence. Maggie acquires a wolf, and a husband, in the story.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Death of Anyone is a love story and mystery about two Detroit Homicide Detectives searching for a killer of young girls. It’s a mystery, but the relationship of the two detectives is a big part of the story.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How do your values show up in your writing? What do you want readers to take from your writing? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No matter how carefully we disguise it there is always a portion of ourselves in our protagonists. My own beliefs, though veiled, are apparent in the major characters in my stories. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. What do you look for in a good book? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I like books with a conclusive ending. I want a story I learn something from. I like books that thoroughly explore the characters as much as the conflict they are trying to resolve. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5.What are some of the best social media, marketing, and publicity tips you've come across? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, write a good book, tell a good story. I think for building a platform the best source are book blogs. It will take time, but if you have a good story and get it front of readers, eventually you’ll build a following. </div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">• Who inspires you? </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My family. I get much too serious about everything so I look to my hilarious husband and crazy boys to keep me laughing and focused on what matters most.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">• Where do you find your ideas? Does something trigger them? Do you carry around a notebook in case inspiration strike?</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Most of my books are inspired by nightmares. When I awake in a cold sweat and find myself still pondering the nightmare days later I know it's a good one to write about. My other source of inspiration is running, ideas just come as I try to distract myself from the pain!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">• How do you research your books?</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I hate research! I'm really lazy, I bug friends who are knowledgeable about the subject or </span>Google<span style="font-size: small;"> it online and find the experts, then email them and ask a million questions.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">• Have you written your entire life? Have you always considered yourself a writer?</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">No. I have always loved to read, but didn't allow myself to dream I could become a writer. After the birth of my second son I was fighting postpartum depression and napping a lot. My mom came to visit, kicked me out of bed and said, "You need a hobby, go write me a book." I obeyed like the good daughter I am. Haven't had time for a nap since.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">• Why do you write? Is it something </span>you've<span style="font-size: small;"> always done, or always wanted to do?</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I write because I feel incomplete when I don't write, plus those people in my head who want me to tell their story keep bugging me if I don't write. </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">• What is your writing process?</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a nightmare and start writing about it then I see other scenes in my mind as I run or scrub toilets (fun inspiration, eh?). I get it all down on paper then I revise and revise and revise. Someday I'll get organized and outline, but that doesn't sound like as much fun.<br /><br /><br /><br />• If you could visit a place for research, where would it be?<br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Italy. Don't know how much research I'd get done but it would sure be fun!<br /><br /><br />• Where do you want to go with your writing career? Where do you see your writing career in five years?<br />I want to entertain readers with clean and fun romantic suspense. In five years I hope to have at least ten more books on the market and still be enjoying the experience of writing while raising my cute boys.</span></div>

(Yeeears ago) While rehearsing for a play in college, my scene partner wanted
to know a bit more about me/my background. I’d mentioned that I am a
direct-descendant of John and John Quincy Adams. She said, “Oh, then you must
be related to Evangeline Adams, too.” Not knowing who E. Adams was, I was told
that she’s one of the most famous astrologers in history. “OK, whatever.”
(Yeeears later) As a writer, I’d thought about writing something about this
woman, E. Adams, who turns out to be my great, great aunt. As a novelist, I’d
never really had a desire to write a biography or any non-fiction book. Onto
the back-burner this project went.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

A few months ago, I was flipping through the (online) pages of Wikipedia.
There, I saw a blurb of Evangeline Adams and it mentioned the name Emma
Sheridan Fry, Evangeline’s “companion” during the 1920s-30s. Yippee!!!</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Funny
you should ask, Dianna. Immediately prior to writing the first draft of <i>Evangeline</i> I’d
written my first screenplay. In Screenwriting 101 you learn to “have in mind
the actor/actress you see playing the protagonist” as you write your script.
Although <i>Evangeline’s</i> a novel, not a screenplay, I’d imagined
Nicole Kidman playing the title role. At present, she’s 45 and in the <i>E:TSOWS</i> Evangeline
ages from her late-twenties to late-sixties.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Again,
I don’t regard this as historical fiction, nor lesbian historical fiction. It
think <i>Evangeline’s</i> plot is loosely akin to the story in <i>Brokeback
Mountain</i> by AnnieProulx. Instead of hunky cowboys though, I’m instead
writing about two (rather famous) women from one hundred years ago.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

great, great aunt, Evangeline Adams. Also, my writing for teens has always been

much less deep, philosophical. I see <i>Evangeline</i>, novel or movie, as

the action takes place from 1899-1932, the central dilemma within the plot can
