4) What is the main conflict? What messes up his/her life?
Larry is insistent Tiffany is his missing wife. Tiffany is more confused and frustrated
with her inability to recall her past. It is not a “given” that this lookalike
woman truly is Taylor. Everyone has a
“twin” somewhere. Clive is not a willing
participant to allow a famous singer-musician take his wife from his life.

and feature film. Front Row Center is available from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Front-Row-Center-Cynthia-Ainsworthe/dp/0980245907/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1345825833&sr=1-1&keywords=cynthia+b+ainsworthe

My Writing Process ~~ Suspenseful Romance
I
was invited by Trish
Jackson to take place in this Writing Process blog tour.
She is a romance writer who focuses on romance with a western flair. Her Redneck PI and Capricorn series
are a must read for all romance readers who enjoy reading suspenseful romance
set in raw and rural settings with plenty of heat and grit—a “what will happen next” romance mystery. A link
to her books.
What am I working on?
That’s an
enormous question for me. Front Row Center took only ninety days to write but a
year and a half to edit. It was of epic length at greater than 292 thousand
words. It received many 5-star reviews and garnered interest from Scott C Brown,
a Hollywood director/roducer/screenwriter to adapt this novel into a feature
film and mini-series script. Now I’m in the depts of writing a screen play.
Writing a script is an entirely different animal than writing a book.
I have the
sequel to Front Row Center, titled “Remember”, in the editing process. This
book will be a more reasonable length of 88 to 90 thousand words and can stand
alone on its own without the need for new readers to read Front Row Center
first. Though I hope they would want to read how the journey of Taylor and
Larry was born.
I have a
cookbook, “Front Row Center’s Passion in the Kitchen” ready for format to an
ebook as well as print. It includes delicious French recipes, gorgeous
shirtless men, and a storyline that runs throughout the book.
Another
project waiting for the illustrator is a children’s picture book, “Jacques
Learns a Lesson”, which brings home the acceptance of differences in others.
I’ve
started writing another book with the working title, “Mechanic in Heels”; a
story of a female paid assassin with a romantic complication.
I’m also
plotting out the third book related to “Front Row Center”, which will center on
Taylor’s daughter and the consequences of her choices.
How
does my work differ from others of the same genre?
I involve the push and pull of moral decisions one must make. When the
heart rules the head, disaster can affect not just the person making their
decision but also has ramifications for others. As one question is solved, I
create another, which a character must answer. I love the complexity of
subplots and rich settings of Europe, and the glamorous Hollywood scene.
My audience is female, though I do have some male reader fans. My main
characters tend to be in their forties and fifties. Love is timeless. Passion
spans the entire lifetime.
Why do I write
what I do?
I’m fascinated by romance and intrigue. While romance will always be the
main thread in my plot, mystery and intrigue gives more depth and conflict to
my characters. I love to create a problem and then see how my hero or heroine
will meet that obstacle.
I do a lot of mental plotting before the first word is printed on the
page. A lot of talking about the characters; answering the “What if?” questions.
I run my plot by my husband, who’s an avid reader. He gives excellent feedback on what is
logical and what wouldn’t work.
I don’t use an outline, as I find that is restricting. I guess you could
say I’m a modified pantster—write from the seat of my pants with a mental
outline I can change at will as the story flows from me.
As I write, I create a separate document that lists each character with
their characteristics. Below that, I write a brief summary of each chapter.
That’s a great tool so I don’t get lost in my own manuscript and can keep the
plot on a logical path..
