Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
To date I have written seven titles, and just re-released one of my previous titles. I am also working on re-releasing 1 more title as well as writing two more titles within that series (Copper Cauldron series and all the books are titled ‘Magick for the___Witch’ and a subsequent topic such as homesteading, kitchen, or elemental. I am also going to release a short story title this fall called “Retorta Mundis: Twisted Worlds.”
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Magick for the Elemental Witch, and it is a 2nd edition. I wrote it in 2009-2010 and it was published in 2010 originally, this is a re-release. I was studying the elements (earth, air, fire, water) on my own as part of my pagan/metaphysical studies and that is what prompted me to write a book.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Only that I can (and will) write anywhere. I have been known to write story ideas on my hand, on cocktail napkins, and anywhere else I can find a decent surface.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King was my idol growing up as was VC Andrews and Ruby Jean Jenson. For metaphysical titles it would be Scott Cunningham, Selena Fox, Patricia Telesco, Ellen Dugan.
What are you working on now?
Now that I have re-released the elemental book I will finish my short story collection “Retorta Mundis: Twisted Worlds” and looking forward to creating the unique opportunity that every short story will be available individually in Kindle, or you can buy the full anthology in print.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Amaon, Goodreads, and my own personal wesbite.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep trying…don’t ever give up and you can always consider self-publishing as an option, but make sure its your best work when you publish it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Not to listen to bad reviews. They happen, even to the number one best selling authors. And don’t post comments to bad reviews, when you do it looks like arguing and it petty.
What are you reading now?
A historical romance titled “A Little Scandal.”
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully a lot more book signings and publishing more titles.
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?
Obviously a survival guide 🙂 But also I would take the Sylph series with my by L.J. McDonald and my fave historical romance “The Secret” bu Julie Garwood.
