Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Christmas on Maplewood Mountain is my debut romance and first published book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I felt inspired to write Christmas on Maplewood Mountain when I started looking closely at the self-publishing world. I have a few manuscripts under my belt, but I wanted to go with a holiday story for my first foray into self-publishing. It felt like the timing was right, and I can’t help but love anything seasonal!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not unless you count late-night and early-morning sessions? I have a toddler, after all! So, my writing takes place when he’s asleep. I am less of a planner and more of a doer. This makes for lots of work on the back end!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Of course, I am reading addict. However, I would say Stephen King, Jodi Picoult, Gillian Flynn, John Irving, and Mitch Albom’s works have likely impacted me somehow.
What are you working on now?
I’m finishing off the Maplewood Sisters Series, cleaning up a middle-grade manuscript, and planning for some stand-alone pieces for 2020.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
For my sweet romances, I think facebook is the place to be. My target demographic uses facebook more than other social media platforms. However, I also use a newsletter and post regularly on Twitter.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write! If you want to publish a book, you must first have a book to publish.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do what works. Use tropes to your advantage- they are comfortable for the reader, sort of like scaffolding.
What are you reading now?
*You* by Caroline Kepnes
What’s next for you as a writer?
Finishing the Maplewood Series, my middle-grade novel, and hopefully doing a collaborative piece with my husband. We are thinking of going with a horror novel.
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?
Gone Girl, A Prayer for Owen Meany, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, The Shining
