Writing The Next Book

by Rebecca Royce

I had written One Night With A Wolf and I was very pleased with how it had turned out.  Truth is, I love writing in worlds not created by me. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I love writing in worlds I create too. World Building is one of my favorite things. But seeing if I can fit my story into someone else’s parameters, for some reason it’s a challenge I love to do.

When the idea came to do a follow up story, Rebirth, using the sister I had written into One Night With A Wolf, I jumped at the idea. 

Who could she be and how could it be similar to One Night With A Wolf without being One Night With A Wolf again?

Well…werewolves would have to be out.  But it still needed to be Paranormal.  So, being me, I immediately thought of vampires.  And Gus was born. 

My editor called Gus tragic and I love that description. I wanted him to be the kind of vampire I remember reading years ago. I used to call them the lamenting vampires.  You know the kind.  Oh woe is me, how can I go 
through the night without you by my side, my love?  I haven’t seen a good, hot lamenter in a long time.

What kind of old-fashioned heroes did you like when you first read romance? Who did you read? What do you miss?
