1. What made you want to become a writer? And why romance?

As far back as I can remember, I was always scribbling on a piece of paper.  I have always enjoyed sitting down with a pen and a pad and creating short stories to entertain my family and friends.  I chose to write romance books because I love to read them.  I was ecstatic the first time I walked into a grocery store and saw a black romance.  I went home and read it and it gave me the courage to try and write my own romance.  Once I left the prosecutor's office to care for my three children, I found I had the time to write a novel.

2.  Tell me a little bit about EVE'S PRESCRIPTION?

Eve Garrett, is a prosecutor and a widow who has buried her romantic feelings with her husband. Her life revolves around her job and her son. That is until she meets Noah. A chiseled, chocolate fireman, who unbeknownst to the rest of the world, is a gentleman. Noah has just the equipment to revive Eve’s emotions from six feet under. The sexual tension between these two is incredible, and when it’s combined with the rich character and relationship development, the result is a book that’s a page-turner. Also, Eve’s Prescription is funny, cleverly written with a distinct Seattle flavor. 

3.  Besides writing what do you like to do?

I'm getting a little old for it, but I love to play basketball.  Also, I enjoy swimming and bike riding.  Of course, I love to read especially when I'm doing my other favorite pastime, which is traveling.  Laying on some exotic beach with a book and a cool drink sounds like heaven to me.

4.  Are you a full-time writer?

Oh, it's more like three fourths.  I have the kids, and although I am no
longer a prosecutor, I still take defense cases for friends and family. 
Also, my husband has a few businesses and every once in a while I get drafted to help out.

5.  Tell us a bit about your journey to publication?
    
It was a year long marathon.  For about nine months, I tried to get an agent.  When that didn't work, I decided to just send the manuscript directly to publishers.  So I looked up the submission guidelines on the internet and did that.  Genesis Press responded within three months, and I must say that the Company has been great to work with.
    
6.  What's next for Edwina Martin-Arnold?

I plan to keep on writing because I love the writing process.

7.  Any special message for the aspiring author?

Just write and write and write.  Don't worry about getting published because I think that interferes with the creativity.  Write for the joy of writing and the rest will work itself out. 

8.  How can readers contact you?
