Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m an off-grid lavender farmer, musician, writer and sometimes illustrator. The Keller family first invaded my head in 2004 and I’ve written a five book series about their exploits.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest in the series is a graphic novel entitled Up on the Roof. I recently concocted the plot, along with a daily illustration, on Instagram for the #100daychallange – The idea is to do something creative for one-hundred days in a row. A great practice in discipline.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m lazy yet spontaneous.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
A Course in Miracles has been the most influential book in my life…so far.
What are you working on now?
Another graphic novel; The Quest of Lavender Girl. Hopefully she can give my puny company, Lordandladylavender.com a boost in sales.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Not sure. Trying to figure that out. Marketing is the nemesis of me!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Go for truth. Dig deep.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
If your writing doesn’t meet your expectations, lower your expectations.
I always used to tell my students, “you have to do it bad before you can do it good.”
What are you reading now?
Innocents Abroad. Early Mark Twain.
What’s next for you as a writer?
No plans. I want to practice drawing and get The Jamie Keller Mystery Series out in paperback.
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?
The Course, of course…
The Bible (because I’ve never totally read it.)
A Dictionary??? Naw….I have to give this question much more thought than there is time for.
