Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a native Floridian who writes Florida themed, fantasy romance with human females finding love with fae creatures. I currently have two series I am working on. Both series are set in the fae Florida realm.
Spark Bond Series is the story of human Morgan and her elf prince mate, Chaistolf. Book one, Spark Bond Ignited is the story of how they meet and fight a menacing fae realm for their love. Book two is scheduled for release in December 2019. This story tells the ups and downs of being bonded to an elf prince, who is also a wolf shifter in a realm that wants Morgan dead. She is forced to change and grow to keep up with her new life as she travels north to prove her royal elf heritage.
The Ride Series is my other work in progress. I have two books published, Unforgettable Ride and Forsaken Rider. This series is set ten years after the other series ends in the same realm and with some of the same characters.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Wondrous Ride, book three of the ride series is my latest writing. After initially writing all five books of the Spark Bonded series, I realized after falling in love with Calanon, a supporting character in that series, that he needed a HEA of his own. Nothing will ever be simple with our dear tortured assassin but he found himself a love worth living for in the Ride Series.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write outside… in Florida. While that might initially seem like paradise to some, I write outside even in the middle of summer. Okay even during the humid summer days, I’ll admit, I live in paradise. Being outside puts me in touch with nature and for some reason, brings me closer to the fae realm I’ve created here.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Geeze, I’ve been reading like a starving lion since I could hold a book open. Being a horse person, I initially read all of Walter Farely’s creations but the book that captured my imagination was one called, Can I Get There By Candlelight?.
Recently, I’d say the books that have influenced me most were, The Fae Chronicles by Amelia Hutchins. J.R. Ward’s, Brotherhood Series and L.M. Adam’s Eventide Series. They are more like my works.
What are you working on now?
Editing Spark Bond Radiance. Book two of the Spark Bond Series. I’d written the entire series years ago… badly. The story is solid but I wasn’t a wordsmith back then. It’s a huge endeavor and I’ve rewritten most of book two as I cringe at my initial writing. I only have three more books to go before completing the series. Lord knows, my books are long though.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I haven’t focused on promoting my books much. Too busy writing them right now. https://kindlepreneur.com has been very helpful.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write your story down. You are gonna have to go back to edit it anyways but once you get it down on paper, your muse will stop bugging the crap out of you. Don’t wait until it’s too late. My mom did that and now she can’t write her book. She’s gone. Do it now! You ARE good enough and if someone tells you your not… then endeavor to improve your skills. Writing as an art but it’s also a skill. Both can be learned and improved upon.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t give up on your dream.
“Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better.”
What are you reading now?
I just finished J.R. Wards the Savior. Waiting for a few new releases to come out as I edit my own books. So I guess you could say, I’m reading Spark Bond Radiance.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Finish Morgan and Chaistolf’s series. They have a wonderful adventure ahead of them as they are separated by a wicked princess and Morgan is thrown back into her old world, pregnant. She’s picked up by the U.S. Government and held in a research facility until they have no further use of her. She is brainwashed and freed. As she tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered she raises her half elf son with the help of her friends. She meets a group of elves living in the panhandle of Florida and love blooms once again for her. Still she’s trying to find a way back to Chaistolf. He ends up finding her though but both of them have been changed and struggle to reconnect with one another. Then tragedy strikes Morgan’s reverse harem and she is separated from her family yet again, this time in the dangerous waters of Fae Florida. What she endures as a human slave alters her but Chaistolf and Calanon rescue her. After that, she must heal herself.
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?
Just three or four? I can’t pick, maybe the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon.
