Author Interview with Linnea Valle
Name/pen name: Linnea Valle (no pen name)
What genre(s) do you write? Contemporary Romance
What first inspired you to write? Reading! I wanted to become a published author when my children were little. Fast forward 30 years and I achieved my dream in June of 2018 with my first novel.
How do you come up with the ideas for your stories? Most stories just come to me with the characters and their stories.
What question do you hate the most about being a writer? People who ask if I have multiple personality disorder. LOL, non-authors have a hard time understanding that the characters are in my head and “talk” to me, but I’m not mentally ill. That’s just my creative process.
Are you indie or traditionally published? Indie.
Have you ever tried the other style of publishing? No, I’ve only got one book published to date. But I am proud to be Indie and the control over my own creative process and timelines that it affords me.
What are you working on now? I currently have three manuscripts as WIPs (works in progress). I am participating in two charitable anthologies, so writing short stories for those. First is Suicide Prevention and Awareness Anthology called Letting Hope Enter, releasing September 24, 2018. The second is a Cop Tales – An Anthology for a Cause. Finally, I am about 2/3 done with my second full length novel which will be the first in a series of interrelated stand-alone novels based in Chicago. The first in this series is called Ciao, Bella.
What is your most recent/upcoming release? The first will be the anthology Letting Hope Enter releasing on September 24, 2018
