Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I just self-published my first book and am halfway through writing my second. Saving Mitch is the first in a five-book series.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Saving Mitch.
My husband and I both worked in law enforcement for many years, so writing about the “cop world” didn’t seem like a stretch. The characters aren’t based on anyone real.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I would welcome any habit! I just write willy nilly whenever I have time.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Rachel Gibson, Sandra Brown, Lisa Kleypas, Toni Anderson, Julie Garwood, and Nora Roberts.
What are you working on now?
The second book in the MacDonald Brother’s series, tentatively titled Chasing Sam.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
TBD
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I still consider myself a new author and welcome any advice 🙂
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
What you focus on determines how you feel – Tony Robbins
What are you reading now?
Mostly how-to books on publishing and marketing, Getting Things Done, and Outfox by Sandra Brown.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Finish the series, then see what comes next!
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?
Awaken the Giant Within – Tony Robbins
Outlander – Diana Gabaldon
Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen
