Alice Wootson's
Romantic Interlude




About Alice Wootson

Like my sister, BET author Marilyn Tyner, I was born in Rankin, PA, a small town outside of Pittsburgh.

I came to the Philadelphia area to attend Cheyney University. After I graduated, I began teaching, first in Chester, PA and then in Philadelphia.

I have been an avid reader since I learned to read. I read a variety of genres, but most of what I read is romance. (I like happy endings).

I began writing poetry when I was in grade school and I still do. In fact, an agent told me that my work was too poetic to sell commercially. (Two days later I received a call from Karen Thomas at Arabesque asking if my manuscript was still available because she liked it).

The manuscript was SNOWBOUND WITH LOVE, and when I hear from readers, they tell me how much they like the fact that it was so poetic.

I didn't do much writing while our children were young, but I did write an occasional short story. After they were grown and computers became readily available, I began writing in earnest. Now, I can't stop; I have all of these people poking me and nagging me to write their stories.

I retired from teaching and now write full time.

I'm active in the Mad Poet's Organization and a board member of the Philadelphia Writer's Conference.



April 8, 2012

Hello, Everybody (that is if anybody is reading this). I usually don't make New Years Resolutions and this is why: I resolved to update my website regularly and here it is March already and I'm just getting around to it. Of course, I didn't define regularly so maybe I'm still okay.

Anyway, I just finished the third book of my trilogy and am waiting to hear from an agent. Border Trouble joins Border Love and Border Danger. The main characters in these romantic suspense novels are Border Patrol Agents stationed in Brownsville, Texas on the Texas-Mexican border.(I spent a several winters there. Brownsville is an interesting little town.) I also want to add right here that the first two novels were completed BEFORE the Border Patrol television series aired. Sometimes I wonder if somebody is "listening in" on my thoughts. Case in point, a couple of weeks ago I saw a program that opened just like Escape to Love did. Hey, maybe I need to start wearing a hat made of aluminum foil the way the kooks do on a program every now then to keep somebody from stealing my ideas. What do you think? But, to change the subject.

By the time you read this I will be home after spending the winter in Florida as a snowbird. (In Texas they call us Winter Texans.) Had I known the winter in Philly was going to be so mild, I might have stayed home. ;0)

Almost as soon as I get home I'll have to leave for Romance Slam Jam in Little Rock, Arkansas. Can't wait. Those attending are so friendly and they give me such a "feel good" feeling. We have so much fun. I'm also teaching a workshop on Character Development. The conference offers something for everyone especially a chance to meet and talk with their favorite authors.

On the writing front: Kindred Spirits is now available as a re-issue through I-Universe. That's eight down and two more to go. I'm also looking into e-publishing the ten. I'm also considering publishing as e-books two historicals I wrote a while ago. Hannah's Freedom and Love Thine Enemy are just waiting to meet readers and I haven't found a publisher yet.

Well, that's it for now.

Keep on reading and I'll keep on writing. Actually, once writing gets in your blood, you keep writing even if nobody is reading. Till next time. Alice
