Interview with Edith Lalonde

 

Biography

Edith Lalonde is a romantic suspense and contemporary romance author who writes emotionally charged stories for readers who love over-protective heroes and the kick-ass women who bring them to their knees.

Her romances feature found families, sizzling heat, and swoon worthy happily-ever-afters you won’t want to miss!

When she’s not writing or traveling, she spends her days listening to the voices in her head, planning the next book in one of her series, or chasing her chocolate lab Sweet Emmyline while shouting, “Bad dog! Very bad dog!”

She’s married to a real live-action hero, has two live-action hero children, and her addiction to Diet Coke rivals her love of wine.

Questions

Why did you decide to write romance?

I write romance because love is the one plot twist that never loses its impact. It’s where vulnerability meets courage, where ordinary people do extraordinary things, and where hope refuses to surrender—even when the world is burning.

What do you like the most about writing?

What I love most about writing is the creative pursuit—the thrill of building worlds, shaping characters, and chasing the spark of an idea until it catches fire.

What struggles did you meet when you wrote your first book?

When I wrote my first book, I battled (a lot of) imposter syndrome and the isolation of working alone. It’s hard to believe your words matter when no one else sees them yet—but pushing through taught me resilience and to trust in my own voice.

What advices will you give to a new author?

Write the book. You can’t edit what isn’t on the page, and the first draft doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to exist. Give yourself permission to write badly, to experiment, and to make a mess. Perfection comes later, in revision. Right now, your only job is to get the story out of your head and on to the page.

Which one of your books will you recommend to a new reader?

If you love fast-paced romantic suspense with a big cast of supporting characters, start with Chasing Grace.

Do you write with music? If yes, do you have a special song?

I love music. I WISH I had the talent to write music. LOL.

What are your future projects?

 Book 5 in the Joint Task Team Series—Protecting Jessica.
