Rosanna Leo's Publishing Journey: An Insightful Discussion
Rosanna Leo, a multi-published author from Toronto, Canada, is set to release a new contemporary romance this summer with Samhain Publishing. The upcoming novel, titled Vice, is scheduled for release in the summer of 2015.
Leo, who has previously worked with publishers like Tule Publishing’s Montana Born imprint, has made a name for herself in the romance genre with her Darke Paranormal Investigations series and other titles. Several of her books have been chosen as Top Pick at Night Owl Romance and Two Lips Reviews, and her recent novel Predator's Fire was chosen as Top Pick with a 5-star review from The Romance Reviews.
While the specific strategies Leo used to find her publisher are not explicitly detailed, it is known that she found Liquid Silver Books in 2011 while researching romance publishers online. Her writing process involves putting supernatural, sometimes immortal, heroes in the modern world with modern heroines.
When it comes to writing, Leo admits that her least favorite aspect is coming up with an original, fun idea for a story. To overcome this, she uses coping mechanisms such as reminding herself of the final resolution and putting the manuscript aside to get unstuck. She also finds inspiration for her plot ideas in the paranormal world, creatures of legend, and myths from exotic lands.
In addition to her upcoming release, Leo's current project, The Stand-In, is a fun contemporary romance releasing February 9th from Liquid Silver Books. Her books are available for purchase on Amazon, Kobo, B&N, ARE, iTunes, and her publisher's site, lsbooks.com.
Leo writes in a spare bedroom that she refers to as her "office." She wishes she knew about the supportive nature of the romance and writing communities before becoming a published author. To keep up with her latest news and updates, readers can follow her blog at rosannaleo.blogspot.com.
