Dyanne: Seressia, I know first hand that you’re a truly talented writer and an award-winning author at that. Would you please tell my readers a little about yourself and your life before becoming a writer?
Seressia: Thanks, Dyanne. I’ve been writing since I learned how. I started with short stories for extra credit in elementary school, writing skits for PTA, and several essays, one for MLK Day which won a city-wide contest here in Atlanta (I’m one of those rare birds: a native Atlantan living in Atlanta.) I’ve had various retail jobs over the years before I moved into the corporate training arena. For a while, I worked part time in a bookstore and that’s how I met ladies with the Georgia Romance Writers. Stephanie Bond told me about the group, I went for a visit, joined, and got the motivation necessary to finish my book.
Dyanne: Why did you choose the romance genre?
Seressia: I love love stories. I love the emotional rollercoaster. I love the heroine’s journey. I love that you can write about a wide variety of settings. And I especially love that no matter what the couple goes through, you know they will have a happily-ever after.

Dyanne: Seressia, if you could not be a writer what other dream job would you have chosen? LOL.
Seressia: That’s a good question. I’ve wanted to write for so long that I didn’t have a backup plan. I went to college intending to get a journalism or communications degree. If I wasn’t writing fiction, I’d be writing something—which is actually what I do in my day job. Write training materials. Oh wait, for a brief time in high school, I was in an all-girl band. I played guitar. We were called Scarlet Mane—a blend of the Bangles meets Klymaxx meets the Ramones. We had a few songs but never had a public performance—life got in the way. I still have a guitar that I occasionally pick up.
