We have Medical Romance writer Anne Fraser and she's answering some questions....but she came with gifts!
Nas: Why do you write
Medicals?
Anne: I trained as a nurse and as my husband
is a doctor it seemed the obvious choice for me. I already had loads of
scenarios in my head.
I also remember when I was in Africa
driving along this almost deserted road edged by re clay hills and veld and
imagining out of the blue, this woman walking alongside the road. I had no idea
what she was doing there or where she was going but she eventually became the
heroine of Her Very Special Boss.
Nas: What made you chose
the genre?
Anne: The thing I particularly love about
writing medicals is that you can put your characters in really rough situations
and see how they react with each other to produce their happy ever after. It
seems that no topic is totally out of bounds in medicals as long as it adds to
the story. This is true of any of the series but probably more so in medicals.
I use the medical scenarios to reinforce the conflicts the characters are
having to deal with.
Nas: Have you got Medical
background to write Medical Romances?
Anne: It's a while now since I actually
nursed so I'm fortunate in having my husband to keep me up to date with medical
information. I worked in an IVF unit
(now that is a field that is changing so fast!) and happily they are prepared to
answer my questions. My daughter is medical student so hopefully she'll be able
to help too in a year or two. As I like to ensure the medical detail is a
hundred percent accurate, I know I'd find it difficult to write medical
romances without this help.
Nas: Where's the one place you would you like
to go for a vacation?
Anne: Just about anywhere. People who know me
already know I love travelling. I have been to loads of places but still have
so many on my wish list. Right now my list includes India, Croatia, the east
coast of America and China. If anyone's going someplace and they need a
companion, I usually say yes!
Nas: Tell us about your
latest ......
Anne: My latest US release is St Piran's:Daredevil, Doctor ...Dad , although it was released in the UK last year. (I'm
not sure why there are these long delays between publishing a book in the UK
then publishing it in the US.) Daredevil, Doctor...Dad is part of the St
Piran's series and is set in Cornwall. Abby who is caring for her dead sister's
child, Emma, has been trying to track down Emma's father for years. All she has
is a photo and a name- Mac. She is stunned to find that Mac, a risk taker
doctor, and not exactly father material is also working with the Royal Cornwall
Air Ambulance Team. Can Mac convince Abby he os more than a playboy doctor?
Her Very Special Boss has also been re-
released in an anthology At His Service: Her Boss the Hero alongside Alison
Roberts and Molly Evans.
