Karen Leah Scott 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Always having a love for romance and writing, when I retired I decided to combine the two. Started off by ghostwriting Amish romance books and finally made the big move to self-publish my own. Since then I have published around nine books of my own and still going strong.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest book is entitled “Promise Me.” It was inspired by a friend who was in a relationship with a man who made all kinds of promises but never followed through.
The first two books I ever wrote were inspired by a move to Leamington, Ontario along the shores of Lake Erie. That’s where I came with the idea of a series that take place in Leamingville Meadows.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No really. I tend to spend time writing out a summary, chapter by chapter then when I begin writing, I never follow it. I go where my characters take me.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Nora Robers and Danielle Steele were big influencers along with Diane Gabaldon.

What are you working on now?
Right now I’m working on another Leamingville Meadows story about a young girl who owns her bakery trying to find the love of her life.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Right now I only use amazon and Facebook, but I’m thinking of expanding and trying some others. I always used to say I don’t care if anyone reads my books, but I actually do. If I know I have made one person feel good after reading a book, I know I have accomplished something.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t be afraid. Get those words down on paper. It will all fall into place.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write. Don’t worry about mistakes in the beginning, Get the story down on paper, then fix it.

What are you reading now?
Not reading anything – too busy writing.

What’s next for you as a writer?
To just keep on writing. Keeps me busy and my mind active.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Naughty words for nice writers, Outlander, and anything Danielle Steele
