Tell
us a little bit about yourself- My name is Victoria
Adams. I live in Ontario, Canada with my husband. Our daughter has grown up
(overnight) and is out in the adult world.
I write contemporary romance and new adult (17 to 22).
How
did you decide to enter the world of writing? Several
years ago, two former students of mine said there was nothing for them to read.
Pre-Twilight. So I wrote a book for
them, which turned into a trilogy.
What
does your family think of your writing? Some like it – some
think it is pretty cool – some don't know and some have scolded me because the
F word is used.
Where
do you get your ideas? I don't know – somewhere
deep in my brain where my creativity lives.
Can
you tell us a little about your book? On this post, I'm
talking about the third book in the Circles Trilogy – Circles Interlocked. It
would just be easier to write the blurb - - Having been betrayed by the man she
assumed she was destined to be with forever; Julie Anderson slapped Robert
Holiday in an angry ending to their brief love affair. Heartbroken that the
relationship didn't end with the fairy tale Happily
Ever After, Julie leaves town to pursue her dream of being a dancer. As
fate has a curious sense of humor, eight years later, they wake up in bed
together. Now it is up to love to fix what time cannot mend.
What is your writing
process? I
get out of bed. Since I'm lazy and love my bed, this is a major step. After
breakfast, I turn on my laptop, deal with emails and visit people's blogs,
thank my new followers on Twitter, approve posts on Triberr, then go to a
critique group, and see if crits are waiting or if I have some critiques to do.
Unless there are chapters waiting from my cps and betas – both with first initials
M. They have top priority.
After
all that – I settle down and write until something distracts me – like the cat
wants out, in, out, in, out….I'm not very focused. I distract easily.
What
was the hardest part for you when working on your book? Critiques. Everybody
says writers are supposed to have a thick skin. I use too much moisturizer – my
skin's too soft.
What
influenced or inspired you to write? I did. I've always written. Wrote my
first book in gr 10 (sophomore yr). I can sit anywhere, look at the people
around me and write a scene about them. How they got to that location. How they
are interacting. If you ever meet me and I zone out – I'm just plotting
something out. (I try not to do it when I'm driving!)
Was
there a scene that you didn’t add or you removed in your finished work? Oh wow – cool
question. Yes, scenes were deleted, but most of them would be things dealing
with secondary characters – of which at this moment, I can't think of a single
one to give an example of. I can't check because if I pull a scene, it tends to
be with the delete key.
Do
you have a favorite character (from you're book)? Why? Robert.
He's had to win a lot of personal and societal battles to get where he is. He's
my perfect male hero.
Do
you already know what to write next? Can you tell us? Yes. Book one and
two of the Circles Trilogy are done and being prepped for publication. Next
will probably be Hunter's story. It's complete and on hard drive. After that
it's be a revision for Shea's story. After that, it'll be a surprise – mostly
to me to see what bubbles up out of my imagination.

Questions
I
love weekends because? Friends have time to come
over, have dinner and we can all sit and chat until late in the evening.

My
favorite song is? Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker
Ballet.
My

friend.
I

of those little huts along the shore and I want a very long extension cord so I
can plug in my laptop and write, write, write.
I
want to meet? Why? I
can't think of famous as they'd probably have a rather hard time of putting
down their protective walls and letting me get to know them. So I guess, I'd
like to meet my cps – M and M – they live in the US.
I
want to invite -------------- to dinner.
Why? Some top political leaders so I can slap them
back of the head and knock some sense in to them.
My
dream is to? I think I'm living my dream. I have a
healthy family and I get to write.

favorite book is? Anything by Agatha Christie.
