Please help me welcome Shelby Rhodes to the LGBTQIA Author Spotlight. Shelby comes to us from Ohio, USA.

Describe your books/your writing for the readers. 
I’m a lover and writer of MM Paranormal Romance novels, but any genre is up for grabs. I love building worlds and creating new realities. In my books you can expect to find a mix of humor and fluff with a dash of blood and violence. And while dramatic and comedic monologues may be my favorite thing, that doesn’t mean I won’t try to rip your heart out.

What is something that makes you unique (personally or within your writing)?
My sense of humor.

Tell us about your writing process. Where do your ideas come from? Do you plan/plot or totally wing it?
To start off, I’ll say, I am a planner and plotter. I outline all my books before I write them. My outlines consist of chapter by chapter summaries that usually vary in degree of detail. Sometimes a few sentences, sometimes many paragraphs and sometimes a few words …like ‘SEX HERE’. That being said, even with an outline the characters will do what they want. I just found that writing comes easier for me when I have a place I’m trying to get to. Before I started outlining I got lost and stuck easily.
