Interview with Author – Constance Bretes

By Book Goodies Leave a Comment

P12-resize
About Constance Bretes:
Constance Bretes is an author of contemporary romance and suspense. Her romance books are often set in different parts of the country, but her favorite site is Montana.

She’s married to her best friend and resides in Michigan with him and a houseful of cats.

When she’s not at her regular 8 to 5 job, she can be found writing, researching, and spending time with her husband.

What inspires you to write?
I love visiting different towns and imagining romance in that town’s setting. I also like to write about this my husband and I like to do, such as sapphires digging and gold panning. Some of my stories come from fantasies I’ve had in the past. I love getting those ideas on the computer and out to the world.

Tell us about your writing process.
I start with a brief outline to guide me as I write and help me to stay focus on where I want to go. I also list all the characters and their names and occupations. I just write the outline using Microsoft Word and if I add more people to the story, then I add more to the characters list.

For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
My characters talk to each other in my head and I listen to them. Sometimes, my husband will respond to one of my characters, if I talk with him about what they are saying or doing. Since I write romance, I find it very helpful when he does this, then I can actually have a man’s response to a question or situation.

What advice would you give other writers?
Be creative, have a good support team, get with other authors who write the same genre as you do, and believe in yourself.

How did you decide how to publish your books?
I am a newbie at writing and publishing my books. I’ve done three of them this year with a publisher. If you are a newbie, I recommend you go with a publisher who will help you to get your name out there and help promote your books. I would not do self-publish unless you got a good fan-base to back you up. The publisher I have is excellent and I’m very satisfied with the results thus far.

What do you think about the future of book publishing?
E-book publishing is on the rise. More and more people are going to ereader devices. This is great for me, I think, because I only have so much room to house paper or hard cover books.

What genres do you write?: Contemporary Romance, Romance Suspense

What formats are your books in?: eBook
