Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a mother of two. I work full time as a health, safety and environment professional and I’m working on my master’s degree. I live in Indiana with my husband, two children and two beagles. I’m originally from Canada but moved to the U.S. In 2013. Scarlett Wrigley and the Light Beneath the Veil is my first book but I plan to turn it into a series.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Scarlett Wrigley and the Light Beneath the Veil is my latest book. One night, I saw tiny green flashing lights around my infant daughter’s crib. I saw them one minute but in the next minute, they were gone, which got me to thinking about fairies. And then I thought how fun it would be to write a story for my daughter about a young girl who has three fairies that watch over her.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really other than trying to fit it in whenever I can.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I read a lot of different books, anything and everything from classics like Don Quixote and Wuthering Heights to Paranormal Romance novels. For children’s books, my favorites are Watership Down, A Wrinkle in Time, The Hobbit and the Harry Potter Series.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on the sequel to Scarlett Wrigley and the Light Beneath the Veil
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still figuring this stuff out but hopefully awesomegang.com
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write what you love
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Don’t worry. Be happy” and “There’s nothing a good cup of tea can’t solve”
What are you reading now?
I just read Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm Ravaged Hospital
What’s next for you as a writer?
I plan to keep working on my next book and see where that leads me.
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?
Probably some survival books so I can live long enough to make it off the island, maybe a bible and some pens and a journal so I can write my own stories.
