Although I do use voice notes quite a bit, so I’ll dictate scenes and then go back and clean them up. Rae: Do you prefer pen and paper, or type away at the keys?Įrin: All typing! I don’t draft anything by hand.

I worked on this book in the margins of my day. I do have a fulltime job, so I write first thing in the morning, before my kids get going for the day, as well as late in the evening, after they go to bed. But to be fair, the actual writing took place in regular, boring locations: at my desk, with my laptop. Running errands, cleaning my house, driving my kids–it often seems like my brain has the most space to think when I’m absorbed in another task entirely. My best “writing” usually happens when I’m nowhere near a computer. Rae: You mention in your bio that a portion of this book was written in the pre-school pickup line, how would you describe your writing rituals?Įrin: Haha, yes! It definitely seemed like my notes app got an awful lot of use when I was waiting for those school doors to open at 2:30 pm. When I saw the cover mock-up, I almost fell out of my chair! It completely blew me away. All of the gorgeous pinks and purples were her idea. I told Erin I wanted something that evoked the joyful, dreamy, summery vibes of the novel, and above all, I wanted a smiling clinch cover. I indie published Forever Your Rogue, so I was able to have a lot of input on the cover, but she was the one who brought it to life. I have to know, did you have any input in designing the cover? Those colors are stunning 🙂 While I will select books to read based on the book cover or snippets about an upcoming release, I’m a book cover lover so this was a must read on all accounts.Įrin: I have to give a huge shoutout to my cover designer, Erin Dameron-Hill. Rae: Congratulations on your debut novel Forever Your Rogue.

What’s in your cuppa?Įrin: I’m sadly very predictable with my morning beverage of choice: coffee with an obscene amount of milk. I’ve got a Latte with Almond Coconut Milk and a drizzle of chocolate and caramel in my mug.
