Thanks for joining me today, P.T. Tell me, when did you start writing? What inspired you?
I recall reading a book when I was young and thinking that I can write a love story. I especially thought about writing when I didn’t like the ending.
What do you like best about being a writer?
I love writing the story. I love the characters. I’m constantly amazed on how the characters communicate their story. I love meeting amazing authors and readers.
How many books have your written? Do you have a favorite?
My first novel is Hot & Spicy. I also was compelled to write the De la Cruz Saga. The saga is about the twelve cousin’s love story. The cousin’s stories interlocked. Hot & Spicy is the first book of a twelve novel series. The other eleven novels in the series were written concurrently. I have nine of the novels in the series approximately three quarters completed. The second novel is Hot & Forbidden and is now my new release.
What inspired you to write [this story]?
It all began with a dream. I dreamed my story over and over again. I decided to write these novels after several weeks of dreaming about all of these characters. The characters truly motivated me to write their stories, lol. They wouldn’t leave me alone. I started brainstorming and organizing it into outlines. I developed each character’s personalities, interests, and personal love story. I wrote the De La Cruz Saga that is a twelve novel series.
Do you have any advice for those authors just beginning this journey?
I would advise fellow writers to be proud of their work and to own it. We all make mistakes. I have read lots of books and they always have some type of mistake in them. There will always be people that will love it and people that will hate it. You will meet awesome fellow writers and readers that will make your day, lol.
Tell us about Hot & Spicy

La familia is anxious to meet his fiancée, but he doesn’t have one. His hermana Patricia agreed to obtain una novia for him. Paty enticed her amiga to pretend to be his loving fiancée.

What are you working on now?
Hot & Wild is a work in progress, lol. I’m attempting to also have this one out in Dec. 2012. It’s an awesome story. This story is about Christian Arturo De La Cruz and he’s a Navy Seal. It has awesome, exciting action. It’s a thriller and has hot alpha male romance.
