Award-winning and USA Today Bestselling author Dani Collins thrives on giving readers emotional, compelling, heart-soaring romance with some laughter and heat thrown in, just like real life. Mostly she writes contemporary romance for Harlequin Presents and Tule’s Montana Born, but her backlist of forty books also includes self-published erotic romance, romantic comedy, and even an epic medieval fantasy. When she’s not writing—just kidding, she’s always writing. She lives in Christina Lake, BC with her high school sweetheart husband who occasionally coaxes her out of her attic office to visit their grown children—or travel.
- When did you first decide you wanted to be a writer?
I was in high school. I started reading romance and knew I wanted to do it for a job, but I didn’t know how to apply, lol.
- How long does it take you to write a book?
As long as I have, lol. I write pretty much every day, sometimes all day, sometimes just for a few hours. If I’m in my best groove, I can finish a Modern/Presents in about six weeks and that’s a comfortable pace. I’ve done shorter and taken longer, though.
3. What is your work schedule like when you are in the middle of a book?
I typically drink an herbal tea and muck around on the internet. I’m trying to quit reading the news, but that’s hit and miss. Once I’ve finished my tea and breakfast, I make coffee and get into it. That’s my most productive time. Then a break midday for a walk or a visit to the gym. I usually work again in the afternoon or evening for a few more hours. Often the late-day work is blog posts and such, not actual writing. Lather rinse repeat!

thank you Susan. 2k/day is a comfortable pace for me and that's 50k in 25 days, but I like to build in a couple of weeks for revisions and polishing. (and a couple of days to purely goof off) :)
