Let's meet Patricia aka  'PacJac':

Thank you for joining me in the studio today. Let's get right to the questions.

Here's my Five:

I’ always asked ‘where do you get your ideas’. So, where do you get yours? No one place. Some attack me and hold me captive until I start the story, some whisper on the wind ~ what if, some make me laugh and I have to write that line down, or a character will march onto the scene and throw a line that I can’t refuse to write.  I love writing and the stories that come my way.

Which comes first, the story, the characters, or the setting? Varies with the story. Since I am a total seat-of-the-pants writer, I would have to say that characters are the driving force. They entice me into their story and then I am along for the ride to discover what is going to happen. I love surprises.

Which of your heroines most represent you, or the ‘you’ you’d like to be? Why? That is a hard one. Although sometimes, the hero is more me than the heroine. But I am sure you can find me in one or the other.  If you see one of my characters say, “How hard can that be?” That is all me.  Just ask my husband who hears it frequently. The first book I published, Liberty Belle, has a lot of me in there. She’s independent and not waiting for others to begin living her life and strikes out on her own.

What is the single most important part of writing for you? I desire to make my readers happy. And as a Christian writer, I want to encourage and give them hope without preaching, just telling the story about characters who are facing their own troubles and trials and how they overcome them.

What’s the most romantic thing a guy can do (or has done) for you? Lay down his life for me.  Not just die but be attentive to my wants and desires.  (My husband is all of that)

Here's your three:

City Girl or Country Girl  ~  A suburb girl in the country.  LOL I love the country, but don’t want to be too far out in the sticks.

Favorite TV show ~ I like to watch TCM and older movies. I grew up watching westerns and still love them.

What do you do to relax and recharge your batteries? I love my family and friends. Time solving the world’s problems with my best friend, or times with my writing friends talking about writing recharge my batteries. The Lord told me as I started this writing career, people come first. So if someone needs to go to lunch, I’m ready.

Your contribution to the anthology is WORTH THE WAIT
