Romance Writers Weekly ~ Oh, That Smell…

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

Welcome back. I was away at a conference and the last two weeks have been crazy with book releases and preparation. I’m thrilled to be back in the saddle. We have a great question today: Tell us about your favorite scent and what it evokes for you. When my husband and I went on our honeymoon in Italy, we drove from Florence to the small mountain village where his family is from. We had a lovely day meeting the mayor and some people who knew his family. We saw the home where his grandmother grew up and got copies of … Continue reading →

Romance Writers Weekly ~The First Thing

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

This week we’re beating the heat with a fun question – Describe your earliest memory. You know, I have a lot of little snapshots from bouncing on my dad’s foot in the den to my mom dunking me under the water in the pool when she taught me to swim and hold my breath. I have a terrifying glimpse of my first day of nursery school. I remember lines of desks and being without my mom for the first time. It was not pleasant. I remember other kids laughing while spending the day on the verge of tears. I have … Continue reading →

Welcome back! This week’s question is: What’s the recipe for a great hero in your opinion? What character traits do you spin together to create swoon-worthy heroes? The great hero! For me, he should be kind and thoughtful. I’m not a big lover of the overbearing alpha. I love a hero who is willing to risk everything for the woman he loves. Tortured and misunderstood is okay too as long as internally I can see his good intentions. No dragging her away. I don’t like anything with the word “breeder” in it. I want women to always be equal. I … Continue reading →

Here’s today’s prompt. Did you celebrate the 4th of July? Care to share a recipe? What’s the favorite dish at your celebration and why? We did celebrate with some friends. It was soooo hot, that we stayed inside and let the men do the grilling. One of my favorite things to make on the grill is corn on the cob. I like to shuck the corn and put it in a storage bag with seasoning and olive oil. I rub it around really well and then we put the corn on the grill and turn it. It takes about ten … Continue reading →

Romance Writers Weekly ~ What’s your Jam?

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

Name something in your writing that you do really well. It can be a trope or the way you write your heroes. Tell us why this works for you and why readers love it. I write strong female characters and wonderful beta men. You probably won’t find big alpha guys who have to have everything their way and bully everyone around them. What you will find are women who know what they want or at least, what they don’t want. You’ll also find women who have strength regardless of the period I’m writing in. Even the ones who seem meek … Continue reading →
