What the reader's are asking?

1.  How long have you both been writing for?

A:  Elizabeth has been writing for a long time.  Crystal started in 2012.

 

2.  You live so far apart from each other.  How do you write together?

A:  Email.  Elizabeth will work on it some and then send it to Crystal and then vice versa.

 

3.  So if Swept Away: The First Bloodline was to obtain a movie deal, who would you want to play your characters?

A:  Wow!  First, I don't forsee that happening.  It would have to go huge and sell millions of copies.  But using my imagination, Jordana Brewster and Tom Welling would play Taylor and Damien.  Elizabeth, aka Liz in Swept Away, would want Sandra Bullock to play her roll with Channing Tatum as Jarrod.  LOL.  

 

4.  You both are really connected with the readers that have contacted you.  Why?

A:  Because without the readers, it would just be us enjoying these stories.  It's great to hear from them.  We love in fact.

 

5.  Crystal, you are currently working on Love Swept: The First Bloodline, book 2 of Swept Away.  Will there be a 3rd book?

A:  I really don't know.  I try not to think that far a head.  I go where the story takes me.

 

6.  Liz, you just completed your first short story on your own.  Will you do it again?

A:  Absolutely.

 

7.  What can we expect to see from you both in the future?

A:  Alot.  We have several plans and stories that we have started.  In the words of my editor, they just need the muscles and tendons added to the skeleton.

 

8.  Will either of you be doing any book signings/book tours?

A:  Crystal is working on scheduling one now for Swept Away.  Elizabeth will be doing her very own soon enough.

 

9.  What is the best piece of advice you can give to inspiring author's?

A:  Hire an editor.  Don't go with your family or friends opinions.  Hire the editor.  Trust and believe me when I say that mine is worth every penny I spend.  They are not nearly as expensive as you would think, and she has been a life savor.  Not only does she edit my books, but she gives me advice along the way.  She's wonderful.   Other than that, write like no one will ever read it.   I once sat down and just starting writing about what I would like to see in a book.  A month and a half later, Swept Away: The First Bloodline' rough draft was complete. 

 

10.  Have you ever tried the traditional route with publishing?

A:   Crystal- Actually I did.  I found that it wasn't the route that I wanted.  I still work full time as a nurse.  I don't want to lose that my ability to continue to use the nursing license I worked so hard to obtain.  I need to be able to make my own schedules and do my own thing.  I'm not in this to make millions.  I am simply writing because I love to. 

 

11.  What is your favorite typeof animal?

A:   Crystal:  That's easy.  I love Pit Bulls.  Do I like the mean, fighting ones, no, who does?  But any dog can be made to be mean.  It doesn't matter the breed fo the dog, it depends on the owner and how they treat them. 

      Liz:  Unlike Crystal, I like small dogs, lap dogs.  Although, Chance, Crystal's full size Pit, thinks he is.

 

12.  Will you both continue to write together while working on your independent pieces?

      A:  Of course.  That was simple.
