MK Schiller is a hopeless romantic in a hopelessly pragmatic world. She has a full time life and two busy teenagers, but in the dark of night, She sits by the warm glow of my computer monitor, reading or writing, usually with some tasty Italian…the food that is!
She started imagining stories in her head at a very young age. In fact, she got so good at it that friends asked her to create plots featuring them as the heroine and the object of their affection as the hero. You’ve heard of fan fiction… this was friend fiction.
I hope you enjoy my stories and always find The Happily Ever After in every endeavor.
Mk was good enough to take some time out of that busy life and spend a few moments answering some questions.
1. How long does it take you to write a book?
It depends on how much the story is speaking to me. Sometimes they are light whispers and other times they scream. I try to develop the whispers so they turn into screams. Sometimes I can write a book in a fortnight. Other times, it can take months.
2: What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
I am a reader first. I devour books. Sometimes, I even walk into a book store just for the smell of fresh books and coffee. I swear I’ll bottle that scent one day.
3: What does your family think of your writing?
They are very supportive of it. My daughter is my best beta reader and they are often the first people I bounce my ideas of off.
4: Chocolate or vanilla?
Both, especially if they are combined in some way.
5: What does your writing process look like?
I think of the story and plot first. Then I color in the lines with character traits and subplots. Often the end result is much different than where the plot started.
6. Just as your books inspire authors, what authors have inspired you to write?
I have a range of favourite authors. Of course, I love romance so EL James, Abbi Glines, and Colleen Hoover are my go to authors. But I also love Sidney Sheldon, Jeffery Archer, and Stephen King. Their writing and creativity always inspire me.
7: Tea or Coffee?
Coffee – black and full of caffeine with unlimited refills please.
8: What are you working on now? What is your next project?
The Other P-Word. The next in The Other Words Series published by Totally Bound.
9: Are you a plotter or a pantster?
I’m a pantster for sure. Most of my stories live in my imagination until I’m ready to put fingers to keyboard.
10: How did you choose the genre you write in?
I believe there is no greater story then a love story. It combines the best parts of the human experience with amazing emotion and anguish.
11: If you only had one word to describe yourself, what would it be and why?
I would say tenacious because despite all the setbacks and distractions, I continue to write and produce.
