Interview with Author Taige Crenshaw

welcome fellow Romance Writers Behaving Badly author, Taige Crenshaw! She has a new release out. Stop back tomorrow to read more about it!

• When did you get started writing and what motivated you to write?

Writing has been in my blood and soul forever. For as long as I can remember I’ve always been an avid reader and a writer. When I was a child I used to make up my own stories and share them with my family and friends. As I got older I continued to write. When I went to college I started getting more information on actually writing professionally. I joined some writing organization and started to learn my craft.

• What genres do you write in and why?

I write paranormal, fantasy, contemporary, and romantic suspense. I love them all. Love exploring all that there is.

• Tell me about some of your WIPs?

Power of Attraction, book 1 in my Blackstone Haven series releases today.
Indigo Rain, book 1 in my Phoenix Intelligence Agency will be released on March 14, 2011.

I just submitted a few days ago Power of Instinct book 2 in the Blackstone Haven series. Started working on 3rd book in the Blackstone Haven series. And 2nd book in the Phoenix Intelligence Agency. I’m working on some joint projects. There are a few surprises I have in store for the series. I’m also self editing some books in my series that I have at various publishers. It is going to be a sizzling and busy year. LOL.

• Tell me about yourself?

I love to draw. I’m an avid seamstress. I can whip up an outfit quick if I have to go someplace special and have nothing to wear. I love to cook. I’m a voracious reader. My library in my house and on my computer is massive. That’s one of the first things you notice when you come to my house.

• What do you like to read? Who are your favorite authors?

Everything as long as it is interesting. I have so many books in every genre.

• Do you belong to any writer’s chapters or groups, like RWA?

Yes I am an RWA Pan member and belong to a few online chapters.

• Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?

Write, submit and continue writing. I learned the value of writing, submit and go on to the next. This business is a waiting game. So submit your book and then go onto the next one.

• Do you do research for your stories? If so, what kind?

Oh yeah lots. I use books, internet and interview people about their professions or if they do something that I want to do for my characters.

• Are you a plotter (plots and outlines) or a pantzer (by-the-seat-of-your-pants writer)? Why?

Pantzer. Tried outlines and they don’t work for me. The story flows how it will and I let it. It works and I get some great surprises along the way.
