In this episode, we’re joined by Valerie Pepper and discuss her journey to becoming a romance author, how she was able to write a dozen books in three years, why she loves being an indie author and the challenges associated with it, and why writing a spicy scene takes her much longer than a non-spicy scene. We also spend the majority of the conversation discussing her latest romance book, Worth the Try, featuring a rugby romance where the single dad falls for the nanny. We discuss why she wanted to write a rugby romance, how she incorporates her personal experience in her writing, how the character development for the main female character was almost accidental, and why she likes to have readers go on an emotional rollercoaster in her books.
Also, make sure to check out all of Valerie’s books:
All of Valerie’s books are available on her website or Amazon.
