Today I introduce R.S. Chapman, an American writer and fellow Soul Mate author of the recently released western romance book \u201cThe Rancher\u2019s Conditions\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What is your current project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presently I\u2019m \u2018spiffing\u2019 up a second novel, due to be published in about 4 months. It\u2019s \u201cJoshua\u2019s Wish\u201d, in which a young widow falls for the town\u2019s\u00a0most eligible bachelor whose memories of a previous marriage block any chance of commitment.<\/p>\n

A writing routine or inspiration? What works best for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A routine works best, once I have found my inspiration.<\/p>\n

What do you like to read, and has this changed over time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a sucker for a good romance. Not much interested in heroes. Women are ALWAYS more interesting than men!<\/p>\n

What has been the most surprising thing you have discovered since being a published author? <\/strong><\/p>\n

How difficult learning the ropes and my way around this entire process. I have a doctorate, but damn! This is NOT easy\u2026<\/p>\n

Tell us about a life experience that ended up in your fiction work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am (although mostly was now) a person who stutters, and the young boy in \u2018Joshua\u2019s Wish\u2019 is based on this problem.<\/p>\n

Your recent book The Rancher\u2019s Conditions is western romance. Do you write in other genres, and if so what?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have several screenplays in Science Fiction and crime.<\/p>\n

If you travelled in time, when would be your choice? Would you prefer magical or technological means of travel? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019d rush back to Civil war times, via stagecoach.<\/p>\n

You wrote your books earlier in your career. How did it feel to reread them and did you have to make many changes? <\/strong><\/p>\n

My college writing was interrupted by a 40+ year stint as a dentist, so I merely revitalized them. So far, I have five contracts with SMP.<\/p>\n

What is the next project? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Still working on three more romances (kinda scattered\u2026)<\/p>\n

People want to know more! Where can we buy the latest book and where are you on the internet?<\/strong><\/p>\n
