Hello Friends,
Thank you for sharing your valuable time with me today. Allow
me to introduce myself. My pen name is Wareeze Woodson. I write historical
romance with a twist of suspense both Regency and Victorian. Perhaps as
readers, you would enjoy a glimpse behind the curtain of writing a novel.
Inspiration
for writing my book
I would say there are several factors at work when
contemplating writing a book. First thing, decide what genre you like the best.
What genre do you read?
Personally, I like historical settings, with knights in
castles before coping with more modern times such as the Regency period flowing
into the next century. All historical romance is perfect for me. Although I
like sys-fi and fantasy as long as those stories are filled with romance, I
prefer make-believe without vampires, fairies and such to draw me into a story.
America has cowboys and Indians (which I adore) while
England has its own story of Dukes, Viscounts, even Earls in the Ton along with colorful link boys and
street urchins. The proper ladies and young misses along with tea and crumpets
intrigue me. I rather like the gowns, the mannerisms of polite society when I
read. I love to enter another century along with another country as well. Thus,
After She Became a Lady.
Certainly it isn’t that simple. I wanted a heroine that
would stand for her child, no matter what, loyal and caring. A heroine placed
in a situation where she would find it necessary to use all within her to accomplish
her goals to protect and nurture her child. Many women had to use cunning and
courage to even survive.
In After She
Became a Lady the heroine uses her brain to outwit criminals, to recognize the
true worth of the hero in spite of his great flaws, her courage to face the
hero down along with outwitting the killer and her caring to win the man of her
heart while she protects her child. Lady Laurel Laningham is just such a
heroine. Even with her faults, she is the perfect heroine for After She Became
a Lady. That is what I aimed for, and I found it, my inspiration.
Respectfully,
Wareeze Woodson
Laurel
Collingsworth, seventeen and deeply in love, expects to marry her
hero and live in wedded bliss forever after. Instead, with the ink
barely dry on the marriage lines, Lord Robert Laningham is called
away to Spain and the war. With a heavy heart, she sends her husband
off with a kiss and a prayer for his safe return.
Now
alone in her new role of Lady Laningham, she faces a series of
terrifying events, shadowy intruders, missing jewelry, and mysterious
footfalls in the night. Added to her alarms, she must fight her
hostile sister-in-law for the reins of her husband’s
establishment.
When
Lord Robert Laningham returns, can she convince him danger stalks the
halls of the ancient mansion? In his wounded state, will he listen,
or must she protect her child, her recovering husband, and her
household by herself?
I
write historical romance fiction novels set in the 1800s forward with
a twist of suspense. All of my characters and stories that are
portrayed in my books are fictitious. I am a native of Texas, but I
have traveled through out America and beyond. As a dreamer, I love to
visit new places where I can imagine a heroine meeting a hero in a
special way. I'm an avid reader of (all sorts) and I love to
write.
I
married my high school sweat-heart and after having raised three sons
plus one daughter, our love for each other remains unshaken. Now we
enjoy our eight grandchildren. We can send them home, but we're
always happy for their return.
Outside
of my family activities, I sing with the Silver Belles at my church
and hate to miss even one practice. The local chapter of RWA is also
at the top of my list of pleasures. It keeps me grounded with craft
and connected with other writers.
Most
of all, I enjoy going fishing with my husband. Give me a pole and
leave me alone to bask in the sun, listening to water gurgle along
the riverbanks while allowing my mind to float away to some distance
place. Ah! Perfect.
