Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a reader of almost anything. Wife and mom to 6 kids. I’ve self-published 6 books, all romances. I have 12 more waiting to be published.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is It Was Always You. It’s an enemy to lover romance. The heroine popped into my head one day, a woman who was hell bent on never being in a committed relationship, let alone with the guy that she couldn’t stand to be around.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I need to have some type of sound when I write. I’ve tried to work in a silent room and cannot focus without the background noise.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Bethany-Kris definitely inspired me to just write what felt right, my story. Plus the couples in her books love each other with unflinching devotion, and I wanted to capture that in my stories as well.
What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m editing my next book for publication and plotting a paranormal romance.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use twitter, instagram, and facebook to promote my books. I usually see the most interaction with my books on instagram.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write your story, the one that comes to you at night when you’re trying to sleep. Write that one. Those words will come the easiest because they’re already there in your heart, waiting to be written.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You are enough.
Simple, I know, but I think knowing your value and that you, just as you are, is enough, makes all the difference.
What are you reading now?
I just started Illuminae. Jay Kristoff ripped my heart out with the Nevernight Chronicles, so I figured why not get some more of that heartbreak with another series of his.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Publishing a fantasy book I’m really excited about.
Writing more books in different sub-genres of romance.
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?
First of all, how dare you?
1. Always by Bethany-Kris
2. Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley
3. Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
4. Red Rising Pierce Brown
