Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live on the sandbar known as Florida. I am happily married to Rory and blissfully owned by a stunning mare named Kay Kay and a demanding over-familiar tuxedo cat named Ritz.
I love fantasy, RPGs, Star Wars, Jimmy Buffet and I’m a Dis-nerd too. This is my first of what I hope to be many more books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Fae Song Ballads of Balahar Book One
Celtic tales about bards who used their music to inspire warriors in battle, move stones for building henges or remove evil kings from their thrones.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t believe so, although it does feel that I do my best writing in the wee hours. It always seems that world has gone quiet and the silence allows me to hear my inspirations.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Marion Zimmer Bradley, Anne McCaffrey, Katherine Kurtz, Diana Paxson, Andrzej Sapkowski
What are you working on now?
The next book in my series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am someone who believes in an all available avenue approach. I have a website, a Face Book author page, profiles on Amazon and Goodreads, an Instagram and a Twitter. It would be hard to tell you a “best” method for me as this is my first book but I’m throwing the zooms at every avenue I can pursue.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Believe in yourself, write all the time even if you don’t plan on it ever seeing the light of day and no matter how small or strange, if the smallest snippet of an idea occurs to you, write it down.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“You are as famous as they think you are.”
What are you reading now?
Shamefully, I am not reading a book at the moment. I’ve been busy rolling out my own.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Now that I have proven to myself I can do it, I am determined to keep it up. In this case, that currently means keep working on my next book.
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?
As weird as it sounds, I would just want a complete set of Shakespeare, including the sonnets.
