Bargaining With The Billionaire Bodyguard by Lisa Weaver
Having miraculously survived the bombing that blasted his private jet out of the sky, billionaire Donovan White has dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice. Now a covert operative for the Sentinels Agency, he is closing in on the man responsible for the crash. When his mission is nearly botched by a spunky reporter with a score of her own to settle, he reluctantly strikes a bargain with the one woman who just might be capable of decimating his love proof armor.
Reporter Madison Tremaine will do anything to nab the exclusive she must write to secure the promotion she desperately needs—even if it means bargaining with a devilish billionaire. Once burned, twice shy, she has serious reservations about partnering with Donovan, but there’s more than a career upgrade at stake. Her ability to unearth the truth surrounding a newly discovered family secret hinges on the sexy billionaire.
When their quests collide, will their dangerous deal lead to love or will it cost them more than either of them bargained for?
About Ann M Streetman:
A degree in journalism and a lifelong communications career introduced me to wonderful people and projects in public affairs, public relations, and association management. But that is behind me.
Now I write romance, a non-fiction book now and then, and children’s books which I illustrate with my own photos and graphics.
Since I am a stickler for accuracy, I do many hours of research into the places and times of my fictional characters.
They are flawed people, oftentimes challenged by difficult circumstances in their lives. Redemption and forgiveness are recurring themes in my novels.
I hope you’ll come along to enjoy the twists and turns in the lives of my characters as they find their way.
What inspires you to write?
My life experiences which include interaction with people and places I have lived and visited inspire me to write. Because my experiences are not exactly like any other person's, these are stories only I can imagine and tell.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am not a "seat of the pants" writer. I develop an outline that changes as the story develops. Because I use both a PC desktop and Apple tablets to outline and write, I use OneNote because it works on all my devices. I can make a quick note on a chapter synopsis on any of my most used devices, which are everywhere in my house.
I do not write every day. After I finish a book, I usually don't start another one right away. I do all those things I did not do when I was pressing hard on that book. When I am in a book process, I like to write at least 1,000 words a day. I have often written 2,000 words a day, and on rare occasions 3,000 to 4,000 words a day. When I start a fresh writing session, I read and edit the previous day's work.
How do you develop your characters?
I create the main characters before I do any plotting. I put on paper when they were growing up, what they were doing in high school and college, and what real world events might have had an impact on their lives. I don't fully know the characters until they start interacting with each other. On my happiest writing days, the characters take over and do things that I had not planned. That's when I know my book is worth my efforts and may be worth a reader's time and imagination in making the story come alive.
Who are your favorite authors?
When I was much younger, I read a lot of Danielle Steel. I love Walter Isaacson biographies and action writers including Vince Flynn.

What inspires you to write?
Anything and everything. Inspiration can be triggered by something as simple as the sound of the wind in the trees or something as crazy as a television commercial.
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm addicted to highlighters, sticky notes, and poster board. I've also recently discovered Scrivener. It's a writing program that REALLY helps me organize my thoughts and outline my stories.
How do you develop your characters?
I always start each story with a firm plan, an outline, and a plot. Then my characters laugh at my efforts and do whatever strikes their fancy. *sigh*
Who are your favorite authors?
I'm afraid there are too many to count. Suffice it to say, that whatever story stays in my mind long after I've finished it–THAT author is my favorite.

What inspires you to write?
I love reading so writing is a natural extension of that passion. I'm usually inspired by a song or snippet of conversation, or perhaps a dream. Sometimes characters just show up in my mind and start talking to me.
Tell us about your writing process.
100% SOTP writer. Occasionally I'll jot down a thought, log-line or even short blurb and work from there but, more often than not I start a project and work in a linear fashion from beginning to end.
How do you develop your characters?
Seldom do I know how the characters will develop. About the only thing I do know is they will have a HEA ending. If my characters aren't talking to me, I'm clueless as to what's happening next in the story. Often they go off on their own adventure and I just transcribe it LOL!
Who are your favorite authors?
Nora Roberts is by far my most favorite secular author
Although I enjoy many others, Francine Rivers and Karen Kingsbury are my favorite Christian authors.
What genres do you write?: Edgy Inspirational Romance and Women's Fiction and Creative non-fiction

What inspires you to write?
I have been writing my entire life. My earliest memories are of scribbling stories before I even knew how to print words. I would 'read' them to my family. I write because I just cannot imagine life without it. To me, writing is breathing.
Tell us about your writing process.
I write every day. I use notebooks to outline, and a white board to jot down notes as they pop into my head. When I begin a story, I know where it's going, but am still often surprised as the characters have their way.
How do you develop your characters?
Yes, I have a good idea of how my characters will develop when I begin a story, but often I am surprised. The characters speak tp me, and sometimes they just have to have their way!
Who are your favorite authors?
My favorite authors include Nora Roberts, Stephen King, Jeanette Oke, Karen Kingsbury, Fern Michaels, and Nicholas Sparks.

What inspires you to write?
For years before I started writing, I would spin all kinds of yarns in front of people. In my stories I could become the Olympic ice skater, the girl who went cross-country on a wagon train, keep the family together in the face of disaster. When I saw the movies Titanic and Dances With Wolves and saw how the lives of normal everyday people would change as they became part of a historic event, I decided to write down my stories, where everyday people would witness and participate in events happening in their lifetimes. I love history and the lessons gained from reviewing it, so it made sense for me to write historical fiction.
Tell us about your writing process.
When I begin thinking about a story, I usually know how it will begin and end, but not the whole middle. I create a beat sheet, based on Blake Snyder's Save The Cat technique, and then write a synopsis from that. It's difficult to write a synopsis even when you have a finished manuscript, so my process is even more so, but I find it helps keep me on track. When I'm working on my first draft, I shoot for 1,000 words a day, five days a week. But I must confess, I spend at least as long editing my first draft as I do writing it.
How do you develop your characters?
By the time my synopsis is finished, I have a pretty good feel for my principal characters and what drives them. But sometimes they wander off in unexpected ways while I'm writing and my synopsis changes accordingly. I use a lot of secondary characters in my work, too and am constantly surprised when one of them leaps out at me and won't exit stage left when they're supposed to. I have one like this in my current WIP. I didn't even give her a name to begin with. She was merely Miss Spectacular Bosom. But she leapt from the pages and ended up becoming very much a part of the story. Her name became Anjanette Shelby and she's now in line to become the headliner for my next series.
Who are your favorite authors?
I fell in love with the romance genre when I read A Knight In Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux. I've read a lot of Nora Roberts over the years, along with Julia Quinn. A more recent favorite is Tessa Dare and I've started reading some cozy mysteries by Lynn Cahoon.
