Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and interests.

C.L. (aka Cheri) Roman, writes sci-fi and fantasy under the name C.L. Roman, and paranormal romance under the name Leigh Roman. You can find her at www.clroman.com and on Facebook. Cheri and her ever-patient husband live in the not-so-wilds of Northeast Florida with their mini-menagerie, including Jack E. Boy, the super Chihuahua, Bennie the Jet, and Pyewacket (Pye), the invisible cat. "Much as I love writing, I sometimes need a little break -- a change of pace to refill the creative well. I have a craft room in my home where I love to quilt and create handmade cards and resin projects."

When and why did you start writing books?

Like many authors, I've written since I could write. Short stories and poetry were my jam back then. But once I got older, I loved mysteries, fantasy, and, by high school, science fiction. By then, I knew it would be a lifelong love affair with setting stories to paper. My first book was published in 2013.

What made you decide to tackle writing as a career?

The voices in my head insisted.

Which one of your books or characters is your favourite?

Now you're trying to get me in trouble. I love Char and Tessa, but I don't name favorites, LOL.

Who is your favourite author and book?

I never got the need to name a favorite. There are so many great books and authors out there, plus, I go through phases with genre, so picking a favorite doesn't feel natural to me. I love Rebecca Yarros and Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood and Dean Koontz. I don't think I can pick just one.

What book are you reading right now?

The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.

Where do you get your inspiration for your books?

All over the place. People watching at the mall, being scolded by my environmentally conscious daughter about recycling, random images and conversations. It's all energized by the question of "what if?"

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Quilting and crafting.

Do you have any new books in the works?

Yes. I'm currently developing the synopsis for the sixth book in my Knox Agency series. The fourth book in the Unborn series is with the beta readers now.
