I would have to say
that hands down I am a romance author. Although I do write in three different
genres (contemporary, vampire and urban fantasy), one thing readers can expect
in all of my stories is the relationship factor. It gives me the benefit to
switch it up and not dwell on just one genre, but instead focus on the common
element which is the romance part.
Trial of Marriage is an interracial romance. Why did you
make the couple interracial when it doesn’t seem as if race enters into the
plot?
Yes, it’s true that
race is not an opposing factor in the relationship of this story; however, this
one in particular started out as a dream where the main characters, Angelic and
Trey were interracial (black and white). As I started typing it up and
envisioned how I wanted to move forward, I changed him to Spanish/Italian only
because it was a better fit.
What are some of the challenges of writing an interracial
story?
To be honest there
were no challenges at all; everything came very natural to me.
Tell us about your vampire story. What makes yours stand out
from the other vampire romances?
I have given the
vampires in my story their own unique powers, as well as fresh situations to
the world of vampires and all that they can manage. It’s that aspect that makes
my story different from others out there.
Has anything in your life experience prepared you to write
the novels you’ve written? Example?
None of my books have
been written from life experiences.
What kind of books do you like to read? Who are the authors
who’ve influenced you?
I like to read romances,
paranormal, sci-fi and urban fantasy stories. I have so
many, but these are at the top of my list of authors that have influenced
me: Stephanie Meyers (Twilight Series),
J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter Novels), Stephen King, (My favorite – The Shining),
and Margaret Mitchell (My all time favorite - Gone with the Wind) and H.G.
Wells (The Time Machine).
Is there anything else you’d like to let your readers know?
Expect the
unexpected.
That's always a good attitude. Thanks for being here on Rachelle's Window.
My first love has always been reading. Toying with the idea of writing for years, I
finally decided to use my creative ideas in the form of juicy romances and
start Romance eBooks by R. Lynn Archie.
When not writing, I’m spending time with family, or enjoying
laughs with my crazy, but lovable friends who I consider sisters from other
mothers.
Every day is a precious gift, and I’m enjoying it by doing
what I’m passionate about.
You can find R. Lynn Archie's books at Amazon.
