Karen Rose Smith stopped by RJ after hours

Cocktail hour at RJ's! What better place to kick back and relax. Thanks, Cat, for having me. Since we're relaxing, I'll tell you something I don't tell just anyone. Sometimes words don't run like a spigot! Usually I write three books a year. (Lullaby For Two, out in March, is my 64th published romance novel.) I use a tape recorder to write. If I get stuck, I revert to long hand...creativity and the computer don't go hand in hand for me. To write to my satisfaction I need to be filled up...or completely empty. Does that make sense? That's why I do a lot of writing at night when my subconscious or instinct takes over. I also use research trips to help me see the world in a new light. The Southwest is my creative touchstone.

I found some pics to share with you. I hope you enjoy them.

Did I mention I also love birthdays? Mine is near Christmas and so is my hubby's. Here he had a cake for me and we celebrated with my relatives.

I have two cats--Ebbie and London. I rescued Ebbie when she was a
baby and we adopted London six months later. She's Ebbie's half-sister. Ebbie is fascinated by the words scrolling on my computer screen--Create...Challenge...Cherish. But both of them also like Christmas as much as I do!
