Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I started to write in 2018. I released my first book and then didn’t write much until this year. So, I’m a new author two books published.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is entitled Unlove You. It’s a story about a clean romance author who wants to write more sexy books. She falls in love with her editor.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m not sure it qualifies as unusual, but when I start a new book, I write the summary and chapter outline first, and then I take a day off and live with the story in my head for a day. I let the idea become etched in my mind and my heart before I begin writing it.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many to count, but within my genre I would say Hope Ford and Frankie Love. I read a tremendous amount of non-fiction as well.
What are you working on now?
My next book is entitled, Wild and Blue. It’s another short steamy romance. A friends to lovers police book.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Well, being new, I’m only beginning to promote, but I do use Amazon Ads, and Social Media platforms, for now.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I can’t stress this enough. Never, ever give up on your dreams. If you want to write, then write, make it happen. The other advice I would offer is to never feel you’ve “arrived.” You should always learn your writing craft. I can’t wait to see what kind of writer I become in five years.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do it afraid.
What are you reading now?
Kendal Ryan’s, How To Date a Younger Man.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m lucky that I can do this work full time if I choose. So, the plan is to write like crazy and release one to two short reads a month.
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?
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
A Woman of Substance by Barbara Taylor Bradford
