Deena Alexander on Balancing Romance, Suspense & Faith (Episode 29)

On this episode of “The Romantic Side of Suspense,” I’m chatting with Deena Alexander, who grew up in a small town on the south shore of eastern Long Island, where she met and married her high school sweetheart. She recently relocated to Florida with her husband, three kids, son-in-law, and four dogs. Now she enjoys long walks in nature all year long, despite the occasional alligator or snake she sometimes encounters. Deena’s love for writing developed when her youngest son was born and didn’t sleep through the night, and she now works full time as a writer and a freelance editor. “For me, I think there are a few things hard about writing romantic suspense,” Deena said. “One is keeping up that level of suspense through the whole story. Second, balancing that with the romance. Since I write inspirational, it’s also balancing the faith element with the suspense and romance—all while not letting the story get boring.” Listen to the podcast for more from our interview, plus an excerpt from Deena’s Crime Scene Connection.
