Rina Kent is an international bestselling author of everything romance, especially enemies to lovers.
Darkness is her playground, suspense is her best friend, and twists are her brain's food. However, she likes to think she's a romantic at heart in some way, so don't kill her hopes just yet.
Her heroes are antiheroes and villains because she was always the weirdo who fell in love with the guys no one roots for. Her books are sprinkled with a touch of mystery, a healthy dose of angst, a pinch of violence, and lots of intense passion.
Rina spends her private days in a peaceful town in North Africa daydreaming about the next plot idea or laughing like an evil mastermind when those ideas come together.
I am honored to have interviewed her, and I am so excited for you guys to see this. I will include links to her social media sites, and websites.
Interview:
J: Hi! For interviews I like to do a little ice-breaker question just to ease us into it. So our question is, "Who was your childhood actor/actress crush"?
R: Definitely Denzel Washington
J: To begin with, why did you choose to be an author as a career?
R: My love for storytelling is what got me into writing. Ever since I was a little girl, my head often buzzed with other worlds and different characters. I used to go to sleep, dreaming and analyzing plots, so writing came naturally to me. My love for telling stories is the main reason why I'm an author.
J: After your success with some of your books, how has your life changed, if at all?
R: I became more organized about my writing schedule and adopted a pace that fits me and my creativity. I also became more workaholic which is nothing new, but I might have taken it up a notch due to my perfectionist nature.
J: What is your writing process like?
R: I usually plot in my head months prior to starting writing. During that time, I get to know my characters and story better. It's like giant puzzle and with the passing days, I add one piece after the other until the whole picture is clear. Then, a few days before I start writing, I put those thoughts and pieces to paper in an outline. After than comes the fun part of writing. I often deviate from my original outline, but it's always in the most fun/most unexpected way ever. Once I'm finished, I let the manuscript cool for some time then I revise it thoroughly before I send it to my editor.
J: Do you ever use personal experience as inspiration in your books?
R: Yes, absolutely. As someone who's inspired by everything - real-life included, I often extract some personal experiences to include either in my characters or my storyline.
J: Who would you say is your favorite character to write about, and why?
R: I can't pick a favorite character. However, it's no surprise that I love writing about grey damaged characters that readers hate to love and love to hate. Delving into said characters' defective minds is one of my favorite things about writing. I'm always been interested in the dark side of the humankind and the psychology of it so I take every chance I get to delve deep into it.
J: Who do you relate to the most in your books, and why?
R: I relate to any deep thinker of my characters. The ones who see the world differently from others. Currently, that's Cole from my upcoming release, Ruthless Empire.
J: In 3-5 words, how would you describe your new release: Vicious Prince?
R: Intense, Raw, and Surprising!
