Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in Charleston, SC which is where most of my eight books are set. I have two Shih tzu puppies named Charlie and Baxter who are the joys of my life. When I’m not writing I’m reading, or binge watching something.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my last book is, Lip Smacker. It’s an enemies-lovers rom-com. It actually was supposed to be a short story for an anthology. Since I had a problem sticking to the word limit, I decided to turn it into a full length.
It was inspired by my love for my hometown, Charleston, and cupcakes.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think they’re unusual. 🙂
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Too many to name. A lot of the indie authors have been a great help and influence for me.
What are you working on now?
My current work in progress is a women’s fiction novel titled Evie Interrupted. It’s the story of a young woman torn between the love she has for her mother and the love she’s falling into with a new guy.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write what you know and what you don’t know research. Although my stories are fiction there are parts that reflect real life events. It might just be one little element that I took from real life, but it helps me connect with the story/characters. If I feel the story then my readers usually do.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Keep writing.
What are you reading now?
A Girl Like Her by Talia Hibbert.
What’s next for you as a writer?
First, finishing up Evie Interrupted and releasing it. I had been writing another novel. I got up to 30K words, and the characters in Evie started talking to me. So, that will be the next book after Evie Interrupted. I think. 🙂
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?
