Football Romance: What's your favorite genre to read?
DW: I would have to say contemporary romance, of course. But, I prefer romance with a twist, or humor.
Football Romance: Who or what influences you when you write?
DW: I must say I have been influenced by a great many writers of different genres. From Paul Curtis to Nora Roberts to Lawrence Sanders.
Football Romance: What do you do on a typical writingday?
DW: My typical writing day starts at around 9:00 pm. I try to get in an hour to two hours.
Football Romance: When you have writer's block how do you break free?
DW: Typically I would put down what ever I am writing and work on another project, Although that is not working at the moment. I am still trying to introduce two of my characters in one short.
Football Romance: Can you please give us a sneak peek at any of your upcoming books?
DW: Sure, the second book in my trilogy, “The Williams Men: Jeremie’s Story” will be out in 2009. I have “For Love or Loyalty” coming out in our calendar series. My man is August 2009. He can not decide whether he wants loyalty or love in his life. I also have a shape shifter story “Dr. Hugh Little and Detective Sidney Holmes” in the works. ..reference the last question… I also will have a free read posted on my freewebs site on Sept. 18.
Football Romance: Please tell us what you have planned next?
DW: I hope to combine two of my three books for print. In 5 years, where do you see yourself? – I hope to still be writing. Look at the family that God has blessed me with.

GETTING A COLD
Here's an unedited excerpt of How to Cure A Cajun Cold:
A tall, light-skinned beauty entered the hall and immediately caught Arnaz’s attention.
His world was put on hold. She put him into a Vampire-like trance with the dark blue jean shorts. Arnaz got so tangled up in the female med student that he couldn’t write his name on the tag. Louis quickly took over, inserting his name on the tag. “I see someone has been hit by the love bug,’’ he said.
“That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,’’ Arnaz said. “I’m in love.’’
Arnaz walked to the other side of the room to meet this gorgeous Amazon. “If I’m not back in 20 minutes, don’t come looking for me,’’ he said.
She sat in the middle rows, where Arnaz approached her. “Excuse me; I didn’t quite get your name,’’ he said.
The attractive woman responded with a sharp tongue: “You must be the brain surgeon in the group. You don’t have my name because I haven’t told you.’’
He got right to the point: “What’s your problem?’’
She rose from the seat and towered over him: “Do it look like I have a damn problem?’’
She stood 6-foot, two inches taller than him. A stunned Arnaz had no idea she was that tall. He was caught up in her pretty face, ignoring everything else. She questioned his immediate silence: “What’s wrong, cat got your tongue?’’
Under normal conditions, Arnaz would have walked away and tried to pick up other girls.
Somehow, this girl had gotten to him. He couldn’t split and go one-and-out like a team in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. “Are you feeling insecure about being tall?’’ he asked.
“Oh great, I get to meet Dr. Spock on this trip,’’ she said sarcastically. “I didn’t know this was a psychiatrist’s convention; I’m in the wrong place.’’
She couldn’t shake him. He stood right there, battling her wit for wit. “I’m not leaving until I get your name,’’ he said.
The head of the HCBU’s pre-med institute interrupted them, ordering everyone to line up alphabetically. A smitten Arnaz raced to the front, but left a warning: “I’ll be back, count on it.’’

SUMMER SICKNESS
I've taken a break from writing the Cotton series to write the following short for Red Rose Publishing called How to Cure a Cajun Cold. The small story will be released by Red Rose Publishing in July, as part of its First Anniversary celebration. I'm honored to be a part of it. Writing something other than sports romance, I feel like action star like Dwayne ''The Rock'' Johnson playing a dramatic role.
