Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a new author with one published book that is part of a four book series. The next book in the series is currently being edited and will be available later this summer. There will be three books that are for characters that will be introduced in this series.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Claimed Queen and I was inspired by science facts. I am a scientist with a lot of passion and I really enjoy writing a story that is fantasy, but still educational.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I always write in the dead of night, or early morning depending on your outlook. I feel like my focus is better at 3 am. It does result in very little sleep when I am writing as I have an eight month old baby who gets up at 6.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
C.L. Wilson and Jeaneine Frost are two of my favorite authors and I love reading their stories. I can escape into a fantasy world with their books, and I that my books will do the same thing for others.
What are you working on now?
I am working on the rest of the “True Immortals Series.”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have just started but so far I have really enjoyed using Just Kindle Books and Twitter. I have had good results using them.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Edit, Edit, Edit. When you can have as many other people read the book and catch typos. It is so difficult to edit your own work.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up. Keep trying and it will pay off.
What are you reading now?
I am reading a book about were-panthers. Were-animal stories are not always my favorite but I am enjoying it so far.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To keep writing! I have discovered a real passion and I love putting my thoughts down on the page. I love having other people enjoy my stories.
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?
I would bring Jeannine Frost Vlad and Leila four book series. I have read them probably fifty times and I would never want to be apart from them.
