What is it you relate to most with your heroine or hero? What do you like about them most?
Raine says: I think Skye has a little bit of my attitude several years ago. She has given up on finding the “perfect man”, if there is ever such a one. Skye finds herself lost, watching her friends and family find their loves and she is saddened that she can never find that love of her own. A bit cynical, she is alittle bit like I was a few years ago before i met my honey of three years and found the “perfect” man for me. She is strong, Vulnerable yet willing to try just one more thing to get the love she longs for.
How did you get started in writing?
Raine Says: I am an avid reader and I read one book not long ago that just had me throwing up my hands, screaming I can do better, that I let the door in my imagination open and I found a place that had characters, stories and HEA’s waiting for me to tell people.
What’s your schedule like, and what do you enjoy doing in your time off?
Raine says: I write while kids are inschool during the day. I prefer to be off the computer at night unless I am scheduled for a chat or other commitments. On my time off, which I try to do on the weekends to recharge and spend time with family, I l ike to read for pleasure, watch movies, play video games and take walks with the kids and honey if the weather is nice.

Sneak peek into Fairy Kisses & Magical Dreams:
Skye sat with her hands fisted in her shirttails so she wouldn’t throttle her well-meaning yet clueless Aunt Mary. The smoking cauldron on the stove erupted into another hiss, and the smell made her stomach curdle.
Aunt Mary muttered to herself as she gathered the necessary ingredients for the love spell from various places in the ancient farmhouse.
Skye tried not to cringe when her aunt walked too close to a knife sitting on the edge of the table. Clearing her throat, Skye mustered enough courage to ask, “Is this thing supposed to turn black and smell like rotten eggs?â€
â€Oh my, yes dearie.†Aunt Mary said as she bustled around the kitchen.
Skye blew out a deep breath and tried to keep calm as she watched her aunt stir something that looked suspiciously like toad legs in the cauldron. Yuck. I swear, some days it’s almost too much to bear, with Mary’s new found interest in new age-isms and spells that do everything but what they’re supposed to. Skye looked at the clock and sighed, knowing she wasn’t going to get on the road back to Dayton any sooner than when her aunt deemed worthy.
Skye tried not to sound dejected but after her disastrous Valentine date where her date just talked and talked about his life and career; she felt like she was going nowhere fast. Her friends found their own true loves, got married and had their own happily ever after. Where was hers? Her aunt was determined to get the sparkle back in her eyes, or so she said the first night she visited Topeka . It was enough to make Skye cringe in horror but she couldn’t say anything mean to the one person who loved her more than anything. Flipping her hair off her face, she breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her aunt finish whatever she was doing to the brew until Mary turned around with a cup of the foul smelling stuff.
“Here you go dear. All finished and ready to be drunk by you! All you need to do is say three times: ` I wish for my true love to find me΄ and then within seven days, according to the spell book I got from a used book store, your true love will find you and steal your heart away.†Aunt Mary gazed fondly at Skye, who tried to look happy but couldn’t conceal the sadness in her eyes.
She took the cup and peered at it grimacing with distaste. It was blackish-blue in color, with something that looked like lightening bugs flashing in it. For a moment, Skye watched the kaleidoscope of colors; it was enough to make her cross eyed. Skye tried to shield her expression from Mary though if she was honest with herself, she was willing to try anything to get her happily ever after, even drink a foul looking potion to get what she desired.
