Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Well, I grew up mostly knowing farm life. I was born in Flint, Michigan, but have lived in the Upper Peninsula most of my life. When I am not writing, I am running our farm and Cottage Bakery. I have written 12 books, and the 13th is almost done.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
It’s a cookbook. Something that my mother and I did together. Our love of baking and cooking is what inspired us to create this cookbook.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to write mostly at night. After I am done with all the farm work and my dogs have settled down.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
J.R. Ward has been a big influence in my writing. Cherise Sinclair and Donna Grant are also major influences. I have read just about everything these ladies have written. One day i hope to be as well know as them.
What are you working on now?
I am working on The Masters of Dark Desires: Master Roland. It is the third book in the Masters of Dark Desires series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use mostly Facebook and Pinterest. I have a wonderful promoter on Facebook and I do lots of promos myself
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Being an author is tough. Not everyone will like what you write. The main thing is that you like it. Write because that is what you love, don’t write because you feel you have to. If you don’t like what you write it will show. Put heart into everything you write. Put a piece of yourself in every book.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
No matter what, never give up, never listen to those who only speak with negitive minds.
What are you reading now?
No way out by Lila Rose
and
Night Zero by Rob Horner
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have some book signings coming up this winter and next summer
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?
The Masters of the Shadowlands, The Dark Kings, The Black dagger Brotherhood
