Today at Romance for Every World we have a special treat! We have an interview with Roxanne Snopek, author of the newly release Resisting the Rancher by Entangled Publishing.

Where do you get your ideas?
In that
instant between turning the steering wheel and hearing
the blast of horn from the guy in your blind spot. Well.
Only once. Actually, there are random moments throughout
the day and night. I wish I knew, really.
Do you create the characters first and then come up with the plot or vice versa?
It
depends. If my publisher wants a “friends-to-lovers”
book, then I craft a rough – very, very rough – plan
first. Then, I figure out what kind of people might get
into the situation I’ve created and – most importantly –
WHY they might get into it. I use astrology sometimes
too, to figure out the inner workings of my characters.
If it’s a book I’m starting from scratch, it’s almost
completely characters. I’ll get a glimpse of a quirk,
say a woman who draws concentric circles on her hand
while she’s on the phone. Something very small. And I go
from there.
Who is currently on your Kindle?
Books by
two authors who are also have new releases this month:
Robin Bielman (Wild About Her Wingman) and Jennifer
Shirk (Fiance By Fate). I just finished First Grave on
the Right by Darynda Jones and have a paperback of Fast
Women by Jennifer Crusie.
Why did you begin writing?
I always
thought it would be the epitome of coolness and success
to be an author. I’ve always written in the usual varied
forms, but at one point, I simply had to try to write a
Whole Book. Start to finish. It was incredibly uncool
and a complete non-success (see how I did that?) but I
considered it a huge accomplishment and determined to do
it again and again until I arrived at the successful
coolness I crave. Looks like I’ll be writing for a long
time to come!
Your favourite book the you wrote?
A family
saga that has yet to see the light of day. It might be
best that way, but that’s the book that made me really
feel like an author, all full of angst, suffering,
ancient history, themes, hope, etc. Yeah, probably best
it stays under the bed.
The character that you created that you most connect with?
You know,
I think it’s Sabrina Becker from Fake Fiance, Real
Revenge. She’s a nurse-midwife and there was a period of
time when I considered that career path. But I had three
babies instead, all totally natural births. I was my own
midwife, you could say!
What's next?
A novella that’s part of a fantastic series beginning
in fall. I’m so excited about these characters! That’s all
I can say for now but watch my website for more
information.
Thanks for having me here today; it was lovely chatting
with you!
