Raine has been reading romance novels since picking up that first Barbara Cartland book at the tender age of thirteen and she hasn't stopped since. Partly because she writes her own now in addition to still reading them every chance she gets. Granted, Raine's stories are edgy enough to turn Ms. Cartland in her grave, but to her way of thinking, a hot, sexy, hero never goes out of fashion whether he's a Brooding Alpha London security expert or a Brooding Alpha hockey player in Las Vegas. Yes, indeed. You'll find the Brooding Alpha vibe in pretty much every book she writes. Raine lives in Southern California with a prince of a husband who helped her raise their two brilliant sons, and currently, two very bouncy Italian Greyhounds around which the household revolves.

Art, a photograph, a portrait, poetry, movies, songs, books, historical events, notable people, a friend, a colleague...and the list is never-ending. Q. Why do you like to write historicals? A. I guess mostly because of the nostalgia of the past. It is an escape for me to think in a world where communication existed only in real face-to-face time or in a letter. Social graces were not only an art, but a survival skill. Interaction with another person was downright intimate in a way it can never be today. I also find great joy in writing my stories. It is as entertaining to write them as it is to be lost in a book you can't set down. Q. What is your favorite quote? A. "I almost wish we were butterflies, and liv'd but three summer days. Three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain." JOHN KEATS...1819 (sigh) Need I elaborate? Q. How do you plot out your stories? A. I picture the scenes like a movie in my mind. I go on long walks with my iPod and just process through storylines in my head. As soon as I get home I run up to my computer and jot down my ideas so I don't forget. I've worked through many a troublesome plotline while on a walk. Solitude works for me. Q. Who are some of your favorite authors? A. JR Ward, Elizabeth Hoyt, Jean Auel, Carolyn Keene, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Edward Rutherford, Ken Follett, John Grisham, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, John Keats, Robert Herrick...What I wouldn't give to have all of those writers together in a room. Q. What has becoming a writer taught you? A. A healthy respect. That's: R - E - S - P - E - C - T! I am humbled by anyone who wrote before the word processor and Google was invented. There's no denying that writing is hard work, but to imagine how Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice with a feather quill pen makes my brain hurt. Q. Any pearls of wisdom for aspiring writers? A. Write what you love—your voice will come through. Write every day—your creative mind needs exercise. Never give up your dream of becoming a writer. Everyone loves a good story and if you can write one, people will always want to read it.`
