I am very pleased to welcome Margaret Watson to the blog with this interview.
AUTHOR INTERVIEW
Do you write under your real name or is this a pen name you
use?
I write under my real name,
Margaret Watson
Where are you from?
I
grew up in Park Ridge, a suburb of Chicago.
I still live in the Chicago area.
List 3 interesting facts about yourself.
I'm a veterinarian. I love to ski – I was getting ready to move
to Colorado to be a ski bum when I met my husband. I have three daughters, and two of them are twins.
What was the first thing you ever had published?
It was a Kismet Romance for Meteor
books. Personal Best is still available
as an ebook.
Do you have a writing routine? I write every day.
I'm at my desk by 10 AM usually, and I write
until 5:30 or 6. With breaks, of course.
Do you have any writing rituals? I have one ritual that works for me.
I have to play solitaire on my computer
before I begin writing. I play until I
win, then I jump into the book. If I'm stuck
on a plot point, I play solitaire. I
think it bumps my brain into writing mode – tells it, okay, this is serious
now, get busy.
Where did the idea for your most recent book come from?
My most recent book is Save Me. It's the seventh Donovan Family book, and it
features two secondary characters from Cover Me. I couldn't get them out of my head, so I
wrote their story.
Who was the first person you shared your book with?
I have two friends who read my books as I
write them. The first person who reads
the finished product is my husband.
Do you have a current work in progress?
I always have a current work in progress. This one is untitled, but it's about
secondary characters from Trust Me. I'm having lots of fun with them!
Do you have any advice for budding authors?
I always tell budding authors to read, read,
read. Not just in the genre you want to
write, but other genres as well. Reading
gives you a sense of the rhythm and flow of words and sentences.
The other advice I give is to write. Your first book is probably not going to be
published. Maybe not your second or
third or fourth, either. I've read that
Jayne Ann Krentz, one of my favorite authors, wrote six or seven books before
she sold one. You learn so much with
each book you write.
And write every day, even if you only have a half-hour. Writing is a habit, and the more you write,
the better you'll get.
About the Author
I love being a writer! That moment when I get an idea and it begins
to crystallize into a story is a burst of adrenaline like no other. I've published thirty-seven books, and that
lightning bolt at the beginning of each story never gets old.
After
writing thirty books for Silhouette and Harlequin, I'm now writing a series
about the Donovan family, siblings who are all in law enforcement in Chicago –
four detectives and one FBI agent.
They're sexy romantic suspense, with a big helping of family. I've finished all the siblings' books, but I
can't bear to let the family go. So I'm
working on books featuring secondary characters from the first six books.
I've
wanted to write since I was a child, but a love for animals and a fascination
with medicine led me to become a veterinarian.
I love that career, as well, and my job has provided me with lots of
inspiration for my books.
I live in a Chicago suburb with my husband and a variety of pets. When I'm not working, we spend our time
visiting our adult daughters, traveling and hanging out with our friends.

Book Blurb
Trust Me
Raine Taylor has one goal – justice for her murdered sister.
She knows Genie's husband strangled her and left her in an alley – Peter had
been threatening to kill his wife for years. The police said there was no proof
Peter Northrup killed Genie. So it was up to Raine to make him pay.
When Detective Connor Donovan answers a call about a trespasser outside Northrup's house, he finds a woman running down the street. When he tries to stop her, he's left holding her hoodie as she strikes out like a ninja then vanishes like smoke.
Connor quickly realizes Raine is his mysterious trespasser. Now he has to figure out why she was outside Northrup's house at three A.M. Raine isn't his usual criminal – she's a schoolteacher who coaches a tae-kwon-do team of under-privileged girls. And he's wildly attracted to her.
Raine needs to stay away from Connor. She has a plan to deal with Northrup, and she can't get involved with a cop. But like two magnets drawing together, she can't resist him. Can Connor help her find justice for Genie? Or will her sister's killer claim another victim before they can stop him?
