Tell us about you. Who is Morgan Leshay? 

Morgan is a regular person, just like any other author. I have bad hair days right along with the rest of humanity…only somehow mine seems to be “atrocious” hair days instead of merely bad. Hmmm. I do have to admit to living life a bit backwards, however. While most people around me are sleeping, that’s when I’m wide awake and working. When they’re working, I’m sleeping a level above dead.

What inspired you to write REDEMPTION? 

A vision, really. I was sitting in the parking lot at my local Wal-Mart, waiting for mom to come out of the store, and I saw this woman. Her hair was flowing in the wind…it was fall, warm, and there was a decent breeze…and I heard a name. Tian.

I went home and started writing. 72 hours later, REDEMPTION was written…well, the first draft anyway.

I love your cover. Did you have any say in it? 

Er…alot actually. The cover artist is sort of my alter ego. Don’t tell anyone, though. Which is the real me? Is it Morgan? Or is it Memorex? LOL.

What did you learn most while writing REDEMPTION? 

That no one on the planet will believe you when you say you wrote a book in three days. I could say the same for my latest WIP, too, but I have a feeling no one would believe me this time either. Oh, well.

As far as writing goes, I learned that your heroine definitely must have a goal outside the romance plot. Tian’s “non-romance” goal gave me the most trouble in that story.

What do you consider more important to make a good book, a strong story or great character chemistry? 

Hmmm. I think you need a strong story peopled with great characters. The chemistry will usually “be there” if you have the other two.
