Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have three novellas and a short published, and many more completed,and just waiting for an editor to polish them and help make them shine.
The Life Trilogy, my debut foray into publishing consists of Life Lost, Love Gained, Life Goes On and Life Complete.
Life Lost is probably my favorite out of the series, because it focuses a lot on a condition that is near and dear to my heart, and that condition is Cystic Fibrosis.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The book I am working on now is untitled, but like most of my works, it was inspired by events that came to me in a dream. Yep, I’m one of those weirdos who remember a lot of my dreams, which is problematic when the dream isn’t a nice one.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love watching TV while I write. My husband is amazed that it doesn’t distract me, or bleed into my writing, but in reality, it keeps the world at bay, and keeps me focused on what I am doing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love Nora Roberts, and JD Robb; man, I wish I could write like her!
What are you working on now?
I have a few books in the works, none have titles yet. I write until I lose focus, and then work on whatever comes to me. I bounce back and forth a lot.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Right now, I use facebook and twitter. I’m hoping to expand on that.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Get a good editor, and find a circle who will support you.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading the Dirty Ranger Anthology, which was recently put out by my Glitter Sisters at Creative Central! I’m so proud of them!
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m going to keep writing.
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?
Anything by Nora Roberts/JD Robb.
