Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in a coal mining town deep in the Canadian Rockies. I’ve written over 50 novels, romance, time travel, mystery, and two memoirs. I published with Harlequin and other major publishers, and then discovered the exciting world of indie publishing. I’m now on Amazon, Kobo, ITunes, etc., loving this wild west version the publishing business.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Latest book is a novella about mail order brides in the Canadian west, the first of a series, ROSE’S MAIL ORDER BRIDES AND GROOMS, OBJECT MATRIMONY. I was reading an account of an early mail order bride and came across a reference to a periodical that advertised Mail Order meetings. (Early version of on line dating, yes??)
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I wander with my laptop around the house looking for a place, like a dog searching for a place to sleep. Can’t write tioll I find the right spot.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I read constantly, and from every book, take something away.
What are you working on now?
Another novella in the Rose series, a cowboy story, and a western historical romance.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Promotion is the toughest part of being a writer. I use http://jimsgotweb.com for sending out notices about free promos, and I also use gigs on Fiverr.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Get a professional copy editor once you’ve finished your book.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Trust in God but tie up your camel.
What are you reading now?
Burden of Breath by Ann Minnett
What’s next for you as a writer?
More books. Writing is like breathing, it has to be done.
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?
A Course In Miracles.
