Q: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE YOUR NOVEL, ROCKY MOUNTAIN YOGA?

When I finished my debut trilogy (The Dragon Sisters is book 1, available in British English), I wanted to try out a new genre: romance suspense. While the dragon books are set in Switzerland and adjoining France, I wanted to set the new series in the United States. This was also from an economic point of view since romances from the States sell very well on the German market. What could be more natural than to choose the region I’ve spent a very formative year as an exchange student, the Colorado Rocky Mountains? So that’s what I did.

Q: WHO ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS IN YOUR BOOK?

Every book centers around a new couple (yes, a happy end is guaranteed). Usually you have met the new main characters already in the book before. Additionally you will find a couple of quirky, funny main protagonists that will turn up in every book like the Disney Sisters who own the diner in Independence Junction, the mayor Mr. Wilkinson, a couple of older and very influential women as well as some of the store owners and the members of the local biker club, the True Warriors.

Q: WHAT THEMES WILL READERS FIND IN YOUR NOVEL?

Empowering women to find their dreams, to find that they can have it all, a career, a dog, love, wealth, a loving community, the path to all of that, the importance of community, friendship, but also the laid back attitude of live and let live, a non-judgemental approach to living in a tight knit community, where bickering and even dislike happens as it happens everywhere but when the going gets tough they have each others backs.

Q: HOW MANY BOOKS WILL BE IN THIS NEW SERIES?

Well, the original German series already counts 31 books. If the English edition Rocky Mountain Romances finds as many fans as the original German counterpart, all of the books will be translated.

Q: WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO ASPIRING WRITERS IN YOUR GENRE?

Let go of the what if’s (what if nobody likes it, what if nobody will want to read it) and write what you yourself would like to read. Of course doing a bit of market research first, meaning looking up the bestsellers in the genre to find out what’s selling at the moment is not wrong either. But don’t let it hinder you from starting to write.

Q: DO YOU OUTLINE YOUR NOVEL OR JUST DIVE STRAIGHT INTO WRITING IT?

I have a vague notion of the story outline and a clear picture of the two protagonists and there strengths and weaknesses. Then I send them out on paper and let them do their thing. I’ve long since given up to make my protagonists follow a plan of mine. It never works.

Q: WHERE CAN READERS FIND YOU AND YOUR NOVEL ONLINE?

You can find my books as an e-book on Amazon (also available in KU) or in print everywhere. Connect with me on bookbub: https://www.bookbub.com/ authors/virginia-fox https://facebook. com/booksvirginiafox.com or https:// instagram.com/fox_virginia or visit my website: https:// virginiafox.com
