Today
I’m happy to have Kate Hill here for Writer Wednesday. Welcome, Kate! ~NJW
NJW: Are
you a plotter or a pantser?
KH: I'm mostly a plotter because I prefer to work using a loose outline. I need to know how my story starts and ends and I need to know the major points in between. However, I prefer to leave the outline loose because details inevitably change during the writing process. I like wiggle room.
KH: I
usually feel like the characters come first and they "tell" me their
story.
KH: I
love writing and reading series books. I like to explore secondary characters
and various parts of fictional worlds and see them tied together. As both a
reader and a writer, I tend to get attached and can't get enough of the stories
I love.
KH: They can be
from books, movies, or TV. Scorpius from Farscape, Earth 2 Harrison Wells from
The Flash, and John Clare/The Creature from Penny Dreadful.
NJW: Share a favorite
quote from your latest hero, heroine, or villain.
KH: “You can’t
just knock me out of bed to tell me you’ve seen Bigfoot and expect me not to
look.” - Earl Eli from Love in the Wild 1: Knock on Wood.
KH: I
wanted to write a contemporary romance with paranormal elements. I also love
the Bigfoot legend and wanted to include that in the story. Knock on Wood is
about two opposites who go on a search for Bigfoot and end up romantically
involved. By the end of the story, the couple wasn't quite ready for marriage
and they were left in a long distance relationship. The story tied up the
Bigfoot plot, but the heroes still had more to explore with each other, so it
became the Love in the Wild Series. Right now I'm just about finished with John
and Earl Eli's second story, On the Prowl. They finished their Bigfoot
adventure in Maine, now they're in John's home country--England--searching for
a giant cat in a rural village. In this story, John and Earl Eli's relationship
becomes more serious. I'll be soon be starting the last book in the series,
Ghost of a Chance.

The child of a
painter and a psychic dreamer, Saloni Quinby feels spirituality and
storytelling go hand-in-hand. She loves the scent of gardenia, the sound of
wind chimes and the taste of honey. By listening to what isn't said, she
creates works based on unspoken desires. Saloni prefers blurred gender lines
and many varieties of romance. In a world where passion must at times be
restrained, she believes erotica is a pleasure to be shared. With her stories
she would like to make her fantasies yours and hopes you enjoy the ride. She
also writes under the name Kate Hill. Please visit her online at http://www.kate-hill.com, http://www.kate-hill.com/blog and http://www.kate-hill.com/compbellingbeastsblog.
