about the author
interview with heather buchine
Where did the idea for Inspire come from?
I
was actually camping with my family when the idea for the story came to
me. We had just hiked through the woods down to a lake, and I was staring
out at the boats when it hit me. I spent the rest of the afternoon
“daydreaming” away.
How
did you come up with the name of the title?
My protagonist, Paige, has a
tattoo that inspired the title “Inspire.” It’s also a key part of her
character.
What was the hardest part of writing Inspire? The
easiest?
The hardest part of writing the book was writing the
ending. It took a couple of drafts before I was happy with the way I was
leaving off. (I’m trying not to give too much away, so I’ll leave it at
that.) The easiest part was writing the dialogue between Paige and Travis, and
the “LOVE” scenes. They were fun to write!!
Are
you working on any other projects?
Yes. At least two of the other
characters from this book are getting their own stories, and then there are a
couple other projects in the works.
Do
you have a specific writing process?
I really consider myself a mix
between a panster and a plotter. The first part of my
process is visualizing the characters and the main scenes of the book. My
mind starts playing them out like a movie, and so I write it down exactly how I
see it. Then, I go back and fill in the story around those scenes until I
have a book that I would like to jump into. Although
I outline my book ahead of time, things always change along the way as I get to
know my characters better.
6. Do you have a certain time of day where you
feel most creative?
Honestly, not really. I usually always have a notebook nearby so
that I can scribble down things as they come to me. I could be in the shower, in the car, running
through the check-out line, or making dinner and something may hit me.
Do
you have any favorite authors?
Yes, I have LOTS of favorite
authors, but the two that stick out the most are: S.C. Stephens and Abbi
Glines. Their stories come to life for
me, and I have a thing for their leading men!
What
tips or advice do you have for other aspiring writers?
My first tip would be to write
what you love! Second, edit, edit and edit some more. And third, if you’re a
self-published author, let someone else do your formatting. (Your time saved is so worth the money!)

"As I raised my head, I met stunning blue
eyes set in the most gorgeous face that I had ever seen. WOW! I thought
as my body reacted on the spot. Trying not to ogle but unable to look away, I
quickly took in the sight. He was tall, with short, dark, spiky hair and was
sporting a slight five o’clock shadow on his perfect chin. So SEXY! my
mind purred as I looked down to see the rest of him. Although he was wearing a
long sleeved t-shirt and jeans, I could tell that he was built and that his
body underneath was just as incredible. Our eyes briefly locked, and then he
smiled. His mouth immediately drew my attention, and I had to look away before
he could read my thoughts on my face." (TRAVIS)

Travis sounds absolutely scrumptious actually!! I love when there is a love/hate relationship between the main gal and guy...creates for super charged emotions and after reading a little about INSPIRE, Travis seems like a dreamboat! I agree with Liz up above! Great motivation to see the movie if an when it comes out!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the giveaway and great post!!! I enjoyed reading it! Good luck to everyone!
We are with you on this one! We love this love/hate relationships that in the end it's all about love. We have to confess that the Travis Heather Buchine chose to give us a mental image of the character's style & look, is a perfect motivation to read the book. I mean, we are in love with Adam Levine, so it won't be difficult to love Travis hahaha
