Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am from Ringling, Oklahoma, and mother of four beautiful children. I am also a Wiccan. I have written four books Night Wind, Three Moons, Revenge of The Scorned Witch and Vritra which isn’t released as of yet. I am currently working on my new book called Hanna while working with my eldest daughter on a YouTube project called Southern Oklahoma Mysteries.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book that isn’t out yet is called Vritra and what inspired it is my dear friend Sparky wanted me to write him into one of my stories. So adding him just added a splash of color to the story.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I know some authors say they have to have a quiet place to work and think, but with me, I have to have noise. I’ll usually have music playing or the tv going.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The main author that has influenced me is Stephen King, but I do also enjoy R.L. Stine.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a new book called Hanna. It’s about the small town in Hanna, Wyoming where the residents claim that the spirits of the miners that were killed in 1903 and in 1908 mine explosions still roam the streets looking for their loved ones.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Social Media is the best method for promoting your books, but also putting your books on different websites that promote books helps a lot also.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice for new authors is if your serious about writing don’t give up even if you think your book isn’t any good someone out there will think it’s a best seller.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve heard is “It doesn’t matter what you think about your book it matters what the readers think.”
What are you reading now?
I am currently reading True Ghosts by Andrew Honigman it’s a book he put together with stories that were sent to him in his magazine called Fate.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am helping my eldest daughter work on a YouTube project called Southern Oklahoma mysteries. We go around to various places exploring old abandon houses as well as other places that claim to be haunted.
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?
Oh wow, that’s a hard decision, it would have to be a book from all my favorite authors, Haunting of Sunshine Girl by Paige Mckenzie, Shinning by Stephen King, and Blessed are the Wicked, and the Uninvited by Steven LaChance.
