Guest Post with Author Cassandra Carr

Today I would like to welcome back to RFTC author Cassandra Carr. Cassandra is on tour for her book Double Vision and has stopped by to chat. Please give Cassandra a warm welcome.

So who am I? I've been writing my whole life, but only decided to pursue writing as a career in the past couple of years. I'm lucky to have an incredibly supportive husband named Inspiration who brings home the bacon so I can stay home and fry it (and eat it all before he's able to fight through the rush hour traffic - I'm mean that way, but like I always say, don't get between a woman and her bacon).

I live in Western New York with Inspiration and our young daughter, Too Cute for Words. I'm a major hockey fan, which explains why many of my heroes are hockey players. If you haven't looked at the guys playing the sport today, search for some images. You won't be disappointed.

I'm a member of the leading professional association for romance novelists, Romance Writers of America, and also serve as President of my local chapter, newsletter editor for Passionate Ink, and am a member of ESPAN. I've met so many interesting people through these organizations and highly recommend them to any aspiring writer!

As you can see, my life is pretty busy, but I try to take as much time as I can to write. And re-write. And re-write. It's a never-ending, vicious circle, and I love it!

Today I would like to welcome back to the blog author Cassandra Carr. Cassandra is currently on tour for her book Collision and has stopped by to chat. Before I give the floor to Cassandra lets get to know her a bit.

Guest Post with Author Cassandra Carr

Today I would like to welcome to the blog author Cassandra Carr. 

When you’re reading a book, do you notice the details? What color coat the heroine is wearing, what kind of beer the hero is drinking, or what kind of flowers are planted outside someone’s childhood home? Do these details matter to you?

If they don’t, they should. Details give readers incredible insight into characters. For instance, in the beginning of my February release, Impact, my hero, Conner, steps out of his black Ford F-150 truck. What does this tell you about Conner? He likes trucks, but what kind of trucks? Big black trucks.

Conner lives in Texas and is a professional bull rider, so his affinity for a large black truck shouldn’t be surprising, but it does build upon the sketch of his character in the reader’s mind to know exactly what type of truck he drives. Likewise, his hat is also black. He wears a long leather duster. Is a mental image of Conner forming in your mind already?
