Author Bio
I’m the author of Amazon New Adult Bestsellers, Blissful Tragedy, published with 5 Prince Publishing, and Blissful Valentine. I have been a member of the Romance Writers of America for the past few years with an affiliation in the Valley Forge chapter. Over the past few months I’ve participated in numerous book signings, magazine interviews, and two televised interviews. I’m a romance author by night, pharmacist by day, and attended Wilkes University where I graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. In addition to writing, I enjoy baking, scary movies, rock concerts, and reading books at the beach. I live in the lush forest of Northeastern Pennsylvania with my husband, six cats, and golden retriever.
I have three published novels, Blissful Tragedy, Blissful Valentine, and Christmas Blitz.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Christmas Blitz.
I’m always inspired by the holiday season and I love sports romances. Christmas Blitz takes place in a small town similar to what you’d see in It’s A Wonderful Life. Small town real estate agent HOLLY CLIFFORD is counting the seconds until she pays off the debt incurred from caring for her sick mother and can move out of Hilldale Vermont forever. After forfeiting her college scholarship to Eastern University Law School to be at her mother’s side, she obtained her real estate license and took a position at Trust Reality. NICK SHAW is on the path to victory. As a high school football hero turned rookie star wide receiver of the newest NFL team, the Iowa Talons, success is all he knows. But sometimes there’s just things fame and money can’t buy. When Nick returns to Hilldale, he puts an offer on a lakeside mansion up for sale by Trust Reality and turns Holly’s life upside down. Can she stay on track and resist Nick’s charm or will she be blitzed by Hilldale’s football hero this Christmas?
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like when it’s completely quiet and snack on popcorn as I write.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I was very influenced by the new adult genre and books like 50 Shades of Grey and Slammed. I am also a huge Stephen King fan.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a YA novel called Wrecked.
Valleyfield High’s queen-bee cheerleader Layla Anderson has everything she could possibly want, except a seat at the prestigious Culinary Institute. Knowing her odds are slim, she attends traffic school to expunge her tarnished record and increase her chance of winning one of the five scholarships which guarantee a seat. When she’s partnered with mysterious bad-boy Chase Cooper, who avoids relationships lasting more than a few hours for fear of becoming a broken man like his father, she vows to steer clear of him and the trouble that always seems to follow. His enticing confidence and rebellious nature excite Layla, and his flashy green Viper just adds to the appeal. Despite her best efforts, resisting Chase’s charm is a daily battle, one that she’s slowly losing. Tragedy strikes when her parents are killed in a car accident, pulling Layla from her perfect world and into a downward spiral of isolation, depression, and drinking. When her quarterback boyfriend bails on her and her so-called friends abandon her, Chase stays by her side. As Layla becomes part of Chase’s inner circle, their bond begins to deepen. Then she discovers Chase is part of an underground street racing circuit. Can Chase become her unexpected hero or will his secret wreck everything?

Hard work pays off

Under the Dome by Stephen King.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m hoping to keep writing and build a bigger fan base.
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?
Oh no, only three or four. I’d bring my wedding album so I can look back on my personal fairy tale every day. The Stand by Stephen King because it’s one of my favorites. And Forever by Judy Blume because she got my through my teen years 🙂
