Hey There Everyone!
Thanks for coming back for another round of Romance Weekly where several authors all pitch in to answer the same questions every week.  Make sure that you make the rounds.  It can be entertaining.

What is
the most unusual thing you’ve ever done in the name of research for a book?

I infiltrated a Mafia Drug Ring.  No, not really, but did research how drug rings work, and the Mafia!  I'd imagine that the FBI might have a file on me now due to all of the sights I've downloaded.

N
ame a nonfiction book you’ve read for research that you wouldn’t have read otherwise.  Not including writing craft books

Dixie Spirits. True Tales of the Strange and Supernatural in the South.
http://www.amazon.com/Dixie-Spirits-Tales-Strange-Supernatural/dp/1581822936/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398636380&sr=8-2&keywords=dixie+spirits

If you could travel anywhere to do research for a book, including back in time, where would you go?
I'm going to be working on a series set in a huge Bed and Breakfast resort by the end of this year and I'd like to visit something similar and then go behind the scenes of running one.

Otherwise, I'd like to go to Italy or Tahiti/French Polynesian Isle...just because  :)  I'm sure that once I'm there I'd find something researchable for future books.

Or, back to New Orleans for more "intel" on my upcoming Paranormal Summer release "Love Encounters"

Be sure to "hop" on over to my pal, Kim Handysides blog to see how she answered these same questions at http://kimhandysides.com

A mafia-drug ring runs through my 3 book series. Google is as close as I'd ever want to infiltrate!

Great idea to work at a B&B for a bit to get story ideas!

I'd love to go do research at a B&B with you. But we'd need to go to wine country to do it. Or we could go both places. I'm easy. :)

We spent one vacation staying in B&B's. I thought it would be more personal than a hotel. With one exception, it was just as impersonal. I was disappointed, I had hoped for more interaction with the hosts. Still, I would love to try again.

Oh, it would be incredible to stay in a place like that. Wouldn't only be research but stunning :D
