Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an author of Erotic Romance and Suspense Romance. I have been writing for four years and currently have eleven titles published under my name. I enjoy many things, but of everything, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book which is Ryan: Jagged Edge Series #8 was inspired by my first written and published books, which was the Shattered Innocence Trilogy. I began the Jagged Edge Series in an effort to give my readers the opportunity to know each of the men of Jagged Edge and their story.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My writing habits I believe are good. With every book I write, I go though a process known as mind mapping. It allows me to but my thoughts in order that will eventually end up in a written book. I also tend to write ideas down at random when they pop up in my head.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My biggest influence are the authors whom I have become great friends with. They are my inspiration to keep writing. I do also like the works of Meredith Wild, J. Kenner and Opal Carew
What are you working on now?
After just finishing Ryan: Jagged Edge Series #8, I plan on revisiting a shout story I did some time ago. I would like to put it into a full-length novel and have it released as early as February 2018
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Promoting is quite the process. I am fortunate to have a wonderful team of ladies that assist me with that, whether on social media or other promotional outlets.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
For those of you just beginning to write, my advise to you is never give up. If you enjoy writing that is a reward in itself. Don’t deprive the million of readers out there from reading your story.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up on your dream. Also when writing ‘Done is better that perfect.’
What are you reading now?
I promised a good friend that I would read her first book , so that is what I am reading. By all accounts it is an amazing story.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I would love to become a NY Times best selling author. It is so hard for self-published authors to achieve this and that is my next goal.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Wow… That is a hard one. Most definitely a ‘How to Survive’ book. I would also more than likely take the Bible, because God knows I would need a miracle to get off.
